Washington, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound sophomore speedster, was suspended for the first half of last week's 13-10 win against Northwestern "because of internal things and rules," Nebraska head coach Scott Frost said after the game. Washington netted minus-1 yard in six touches against the Wildcats.
In six games this season, Washington has carried 44 times for 278 yards (6.3 ypc) and a touchdown, while hauling in 11 receptions for 157 yards and two scores.
