The weather is supposed to be brutal. It is going to be like the Iowa game last year, grind it out between the tackles. Penn State has a hard nose runner who reminds me of Rex last year.

Establish a running game to open up the passing game.

We seem to have a harder time stopping the run. Our pass D I feel pretty good about - good coverage, good pressure.

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
