This preview makes me somewhat nervous. Nebraska wants to run the ball, but I’m wondering with who? Of course there is Emmett Johnson who ended up breaking out in the last half of the season in 2024 but then what after him?
Would love to hear Rhule or Nebraska running backs coach E.J. Barthel would have to say on the subject. Maybe they will look to the portal to supplement the position?
Projected Starter: Emmett Johnson
Last season Emmett Johnson had 908 all-purpose yards. This includes 598 rushing yards and 286 receiving yards.
