  "account": "The Nebraska football defensive coordinator Rob Aurich signed a two-year contract extension on Monday, according to multiple reports. Aurich is currently on a three-year contract, but it remains unclear if the new deal adds to his existing terms or represents two additional years. Under Aurich's leadership, the Nebraska defense allows only 17.8 points per game on average, which ranks 17th nationally. Their defense also permits an average of 17th most opponent yards per game (292.1) and 19th in yards per play (4.6). Additionally, the unit is exceptional at preventing third-down conversions, ranking third nationally with a 27.36 conversion rate. Aurich joined Nebraska from San Diego State in December last year. With this extension, Nebraska's head coach Matt Rhule has added a sense of stability to his coaching staff amid several recent coaching changes at the program.",
