Highest on the priority list for Nebraska is finding a way to finish the season with three wins. Actually, one to start would do just fine.

But the Huskers also have a trio of skill position players within striking distance of major plateaus.

Sophomore receiver JD Spielman (747 receiving yards), senior receiver Stanley Morgan (725) and senior running back Devine Ozigbo (796 rushing yards) could all conceivably hit 1,000 yards in their respective disciplines for the season.
