Show notes

Husker247 Daily takes a look at Nebraska’s success on the ground against Maryland and asks if Emmett Johnson can do the same thing on Friday night against Minnesota.

Johnson shouldn’t lack motivation give that this game is a homecoming for the former high school recruit from the citifies. Does that take his game up a notch?

Also can Nebraska get more from its backup running backs? From Dylan Raiola on the ground? Will there be a trick play or two after watching Minnesota struggle mightily to slow down Purdue.
