Darryl Oumi/GettyImagesNot only have the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team managed to post consecutive winning seasons for the first time in more than a decade, but there are some players who are starting to stand out and catch the eye of national analysts. TJ Lateef impressed everyone with his performance in his first collegiate start. But it was Emmett Johnson's more than 200 total yards against UCLA that really grabbed attention.
Johnson is second in the nation in rushing and leads the country in total yardage. He also won Big Ten offensive player of the week and has suddenly started getting mentioned as an All-American and even a very dark horse Heisman candidate.
