Welcome to the Hot Topic, a weekly look at the state of Nebraska football. Each week on the Husker Extra Podcast, Parker, Steve and Chris will discuss an important topic heading into that week's game, and that discussion will appear in the Journal Star's Husker Extra section on the day before gameday.
Chris: It’s surprising in the sense that Nebraska ran the ball well last year, but it’s not surprising when you look at the personnel on the offensive line. You’ve got a redshirt freshman at center; you had to replace two veteran guys besides your center; and why would they be as good as they were last year, especially at being able to run the ball inside?
