Can Jaquez Yant be a difference-maker for the Huskers in the second half? ‘That’s what we’re working on’ | Football


“It’s funny, I showed yesterday, I actually showed about 20 plays of the game, and I interspliced them with 20 plays from practice that came out the exact same way,” Austin said. “Like literally, it was a carbon copy.

“Basically, the same blocks that we hit, the way that the ball hit through the hole, gap schemes, zone schemes. Showed Adrian — he underthrew the ball that he ended up throwing to Samari (Toure) in the end zone. Underthrew it in practice, learned from it, corrected it the next practice, and then in the game, hit it.

“So it’s those plays, man, where you’ve just got to practice, practice, practice. I’ve been stressing practice because, at the end of the day, how we practice is how we’re going to play, and we had a very good week of practice last week, and we had good production during the game.”

If Yant practices the way he did last week to earn a spot in Nebraska’s running back rotation, he’ll be heavily involved again Saturday night against Michigan and could put himself in a position to be a difference-maker over the second half of the season for the Husker offense.
