Running back Maurice Washington is a big play waiting to happen, Nebraska coach Scott Frost says. Greg Bell has already made a pretty big one, a 45-yard run against Colorado that is the Huskers’ second-longest play of the season.
Running backs coach Ryan Held has several things he likes about how Devine Ozigbo, Washington and Bell have played. But the reality is that Nebraska hasn’t won a game, and only one Husker running back has scored a touchdown as the Huskers head into the third game of the season on Saturday against 19th-ranked Michigan. Ozigbo has the only TD for the backs, on an 8-yard run in the first half of the first game.
