Nebraska won't run for 100 yards

IT's not talked about as much as Raiola and the passing game which is averaging 366 yards per game, but Nebraska is rushing for 178 yards per game, led by Emmett Johnson who has 326 rushing yards through three games. He's averaging 6.3 per carry in addition to 11 receptions for 41 yards.

Michigan's defense has been dominant against the run, though. The Wolverines are allowing just 2.6 yards per attempt, and if it wasn't for the ability of Oklahoma QB John Mateer to run, on designed runs and scrambles, the Sooners would have been held under 100 yards, too.

Nebraska does have a solid offensive line, especially among the interior. However, Michigan's front seven is just too good. The D-line and linebackers, against the run are as good as any defense in college football. Nebraska will move the ball, but Johnson won't rush for over 60 yards, and the Huskers will be held under 100.
