Red Report: Running back issues; attacking the run; ready for the rivalry; ‘popcorn’ football | Football



‘Popcorn’ football: Asked Monday about playing two physical teams in a row, NU defensive backs coach Travis Fisher said these aren’t the only games in which the Huskers are playing a tough opponent.

“We play so many tough teams, and every team we’ve played has been physical,” Fisher said. “We haven’t played a team yet that just walked out and said hey, we’re going to let you guys take advantage of us.”

With Nebraska’s offensive plan in flux after the news of Adrian Martinez’s injury, the Blackshirts will have to rise up once again.

“Every team we’ve played this year has been tough. Every team we’ve played this year has been physical. We don’t play popcorn football here. We play the top of the top,” Fisher said. “We love it, we embrace it, and for the most part this season I can live with the way we’ve played on defense — how that defense has rose up to a higher level against great opponents.”

Filling the gaps: Nebraska’s defense will be limited once again, with five regulars either out entirely or questionable for Iowa.

“I think it impacts you. Those are really good football players, and guys that have been leaders on the team,” Chinander said of Damion Daniels, Deontai Williams, JoJo Domann, Caleb Tannor and Pheldarius Payne.

Daniels and Tannor both played limited snaps against Wisconsin while Domann, Williams and Payne were not in uniform against the Badgers.
