 Nebraska emphasized defense in its 2012
football recruiting class, with 11 of the 17 players signed
expected to start their careers on that side of the ball.
  Coach Bo Pelini brought in four linebackers. The best appears to
be four-star recruit Zaire Anderson out of Riverside (Calif.)
Community College.
  The Cornhuskers signed four defensive linemen, including
four-star end Greg McMullen of Akron, Ohio.
  Four-star cornerback Mohammed Seisay out of Eastern Arizona
Junior College is the top defensive back recruit.
  The Huskers signed one quarterback, Tommy Armstrong of Gardena,
Calif.
  Nebraska lost one of its top targets, offensive lineman Andrus
Peat of Tempe, Ariz. The 6-foot-7, 305-pound tackle, rated among
the best at his position nationally, chose Stanford.
