LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says the Cornhuskers better be able to run, and run well, when Texas Tech visits on Saturday.
The Huskers are coming off a 27-12 win at Missouri last week – a game in which Nebraska didn’t run all that much, despite bad weather. Pelini said Tuesday that the ability to rush the ball and keep it away from Texas Tech’s high-powered offense will be critical.
Nebraska will be missing its No. 2 running back. Rex Burkhead injured a foot in practice Monday, and Pelini said the freshman would be out “for a while.” Pelini said he didn’t know the extent of Burkhead’s injury.
Pelini said there are a number of candidates for the backup job behind Roy Helu Jr.
