LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Jason Peter says he likes what he sees in Nebraska defensive lineman Cameron Meredith.
Peter says Meredith plays with the same fiery style as the guys who manned the defense with Peter on the Huskers’ national championship teams of the mid-1990s.
Meredith was honored when he received a congratulatory tweet from Peter after last week’s win over Chattanooga. Meredith had two sacks, nearly had another and intercepted a pass to set up a touchdown.
The Huskers had at least one first-team All-American on its defensive line in 12 of 18 seasons starting in 1980. But Ndamukong Suh (ehn-DAHM’-uh-kehn soo) in 2009 was the first to be honored since 1997.
