Nebraska will run 3-3-5 defense under Matt Rhule

“White utilizes the 3-3-5 alignment, the same front that Rhule's Baylor team used to terrorize the Big 12 in 2019.

That season, Baylor led the conference in scoring defense, yards per play, sacks, yards per carry, and finished two off the lead in tackles for loss. Baylor competed for the Big 12 championship and appeared in the Sugar Bowl that season.”

He's 2-16 against ranked teams. Horrible hire.
 
He can probably make it work. As long as he has another defensive front that he runs when circumstances dictate.

Let’s see how this works in a run heavy conference. I won’t hold my breath.
It can work well. If you have a NT that can anchor and a couple of really good nickel type safeties on the field you can be aggressive with it. You get burned occasionally but they will be fine.
