Will Ameer Abdullah lead the B1G in rushing this season?

It's his year. Ameer finished 2nd in carries/3rd in yards among returning B1G rushers last season. He will get the attempts, and has a great schedule (and line) in front of him.

Ameer is a beast. His ability to juke combined with his speed makes him difficult to tackle

Ron Bauer

He is the better running back.

Weber Pat Scott

We must consistently go with our best horse if Ameer is healthy. No more saving anyone for the future. We haven't won 'anything' substantial since 1999. That's unacceptable for Nebraska Football.

David French

Nebraska will have one of the best Offensive Line in the nation and Abdullah is a great back. Combine the 2 and you have a leading rusher in the B1G.

Jeremiah David Conrad

the quickest back and the best in the big 10!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joshua Robinson

the threat of martinez will make him the second threat on the team...any other big ten team he would be threat number 1

Stephen Johnson

Given Nebr. runs a one back offense, he will get most all the carries as long as he stays healthy. Also, I think the offensive line will be better this year,

Joshua Howard

Cuz its true!

He won't get the attempts with a very deep Husker I-back corps. Venric Mark or Braxton Miller have a better shot at the B1G rushing title.

Matthew Pelton

He is most likely one of the top backs, but he will split to much production with others in the offense. Look for a team like Wisconsin to produce the leading rusher.

Lonny Cooper

Huskers have too many weapons as compared to V. Mark from Northwestern for example. Martinez, Cross, Taylor, Newby, etc.

Cameron Snell

Venric marc. Even though Ameer is a better back.....

Mark Walker

Adam Taylor will, 2nd coming of Billy Sims

Ed Starke

To many running backs to get enough carries

Allen Bishop

He'll end up splitting time with Cross and others. Offence is "multiple" and attempts to be 50/50 run/pass.

Chris Dahmke

Not for the lack of skill, but for the simple fact that we have Imani Cross as well as other backs that will share time and snaps.

Middle D-Line

2013 Defensive Outlook: Which is more critical to success?

Husker defensive line's "guts two" must avoid the meat grinder on run plays and push the blockers back on pass plays.

Your secondary and linebackers are only as good as the defensive line. If you cant stop the run consistently and cant get pressure on the quarterback the linebackers & seconday will struggle as well.

Mitch Heinze

We need a solid middle upfront to first stop the run, and then put pressure on the quarterback. This is critical for any defense!

Joshua Spencer

I just think the Safeties will be good no matter what; I'm not so sure about the DT's. Also, the DT's seem to need to be great to succeed in the 2-gap.

Chad Walker

Must stop the run

larry eisenhauer

Safties have some known commodities but the D-line has to gel to be a dominate D.

Ron Bauer

Stopping the run and an aggressive pass rush are the prime factors in winning ball games.

Lonny Cooper

It all starts up front. If you can't stop the run, which most teams try to establish first, then the opponent doesn't even need to test your secondary.
