Nebraska’s running game hit a brick wall on Saturday afternoon. The Huskers only ran for 137 yards against the Michigan Wolverines.
And 74 of those 137 yards came on one carry by converted wide receiver Josh Fleeks. For an offense that was averaging 234.8 yards on the ground per game to only rush for 137 yards comes as a great disappointment.
Jim Harbaugh said that he had respect for Nebraska’s rush offense, and the Wolverine’s preparation showed.
It’s a great formula, it’s a great formula. Stopping the run and being able to run the ball is a winning formula in football. We’ve just got to play good. It will be a game of blocking, tackling, focusing on fundamentals, reads, getting off blocks, defeating blocks, playing the assignment, the right alignment in the right technique. A lot of focus on real football fundamentals and technique.
