Nebraska running back Emmitt Johnson has declared for the NFL Draft, and the Cornhuskers will now have to enter a new era without their starting running back or starting quarterback. While there was some hope that Johnson would stick around for another season, he is choosing to take his talents to the next level, and he will have to support of the Nebraska faithful behind him.
Johnson certainly will have the support of his former offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, who recently in an interview, explained what his reaction to the news was. Holgorsen only got to spend one season with Johnson, but clearly, the two created a great relationship based on his reaction to the news.
