Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson has demonstrated over and over that he's one of the best players in the country. The rest of the country is just finally starting to figure that out.
How good he is still might be a surprise even to Husker fans. The running back, who is already having the best season in Lincoln since Ameer Abdullah, could finish with some real historical highs. We're talking historical Heisman highs. Mike Rozier highs.
Johnson is currently the nation's leader in total yardage and is second in the country in rushing.
