In this Nov. 17, 2018, photo, Nebraska defensive coordinator Erik Chinander follows the first half of an NCAA college football game against Michigan State, in Lincoln, Neb. Chinander was a Hawkeye through and through as a kid growing up in eastern Iowa and as a walk-on offensive lineman and graduate of Iowa. Now he's a Cornhusker, the defensive coordinator at Nebraska, and he assures everyone he is not conflicted going into the game Friday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. His parents and other family and friends will be there, too, and they'll all be wearing red. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)

FILE - In this Jan. 27, 2018 file photo Nebraska football defensive coordinator Erik Chinander is introduced to fans at halftime of an NCAA college basketball game against Iowa in Lincoln, Neb. Nebraska’s defense returns six full-time starters from a 2017 unit that allowed more than 50 points in four games and ranked among the worst in the nation in most statistics. Chinander in 2016 inherited a Central Florida defense that ranked 113th in the nation the year before. In his first year with UCF, the Golden Knights allowed 13 fewer points and 94 fewer yards per game and they climbed 74 spots to 39th nationally in total defense. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik, file)
