Game On: Storylines, matchups to watch (and a prediction) for Huskers vs. Wildcats | Football



57.3: Percent of dropbacks (63-of-110) over the past three games that Nebraska’s quarterback has been pressured. That despite Buffalo, Oklahoma and MSU combining to blitz just 13.6% of the time (15 times).

128: Nebraska’s special teams rank out of 130 FBS teams in the Fremeau Efficiency Index, a metric used to rate teams’ overall performance across special teams units.

RB | No. 28 | Fr.: The freshman has modest numbers so far (21 carries, 71 yards, two touchdowns plus three catches), but he gave Nebraska a bit of a spark in the fourth quarter against MSU. Morrison might be No. 2 on the depth chart now, behind Johnson but ahead of Markese Stepp, who Ryan Held said this week has been inconsistent. Morrison’s got big-play ability. Could this be the week his workload ticks up and he shows it?

DE | No. 95 | Sr.: There are other defenders in the front seven who’ve received more attention — Garrett Nelson and his seven TFLs, Luke Reimer’s 46 tackles plus a pick, etc. — but Stille’s been a consistent presence up front. His 16 tackles are best among defensive linemen and his 2.5 TFLs are tied for third on the team. He’s been dependable, available and has made plays. In a classic Big Ten West game Saturday night, he’ll be counted on for more of all of that.
