Steven M. Sipple weighs in with his report card from the Huskers' performance vs. Rutgers.
RUNNING GAME (B)
Dedrick Mills looked stronger than he has all season, cracking the 100-yard mark late in the third quarter, and Adrian Martinez's 41-yard run early in the fourth quarter was an example of precise execution. He also was excellent running the ball, especially late in the game. Nebraska ran the ball well on its opening drive, but fumbled twice at the end of runs, losing the second one. That's when Martinez lost the ball on what would've been a 10-yard first-down run in Rutgers territory.
