The consensus is Nebraska may have its hands full when it takes the field against Buffalo at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Are the Huskers in for a nervous afternoon on Stadium Drive?

The Journal Star staffers call their shots.

Who will be Nebraska’s leading receiver (in catches)?

Chris Basnett (Husker writer): Samori Toure stays hot and catches seven passes.

Parker Gabriel (Husker beat writer): Samori Toure.

Clark Grell (Sports editor): Toure. He and Adrian Martinez showed some early chemistry last week.

Nate Head (Assistant/online sports editor): Let’s stray away from the obvious (Toure) and go with Austin Allen.

Steven M. Sipple (Columnist): Toure. Don’t overthink it. Six catches, with his first receiving TD of the season.

Markese Stepp’s workload?

Basnett: NU has found a featured back. Stepp gets 20 carries for 115 yards.

Gabriel: 22 carries for 101 yards.

Grell: 15 carries for 75 yards.

Head: 12 carries for 78 yards.
