When Isaiah Mozee was moved from wide receiver to running back in fall camp, it was expected he'd get quite a few touches because he can both carry and catch the ball. However, the freshman ended up getting just three snaps against Cincinnati.

Things could change in Week 2 against the Akron Zips in no small part because the Huskers have a few guys ahead of him on the depth chart banged up. There's wide receiver Janiran Bonner, who is out for the year, and there's Jacory Barney, who is expected to play but is still feeling the effects of an ankle injury against the Bearcats.
