Notes: Wan'Dale 'earned the right' to wear Black jersey Saturday; Indiana injuries disrupt Husker tempo; new offensive wrinkles

The Nebraska true freshman displayed his playing skills and his toughness in the Huskers' 38-31 loss to Indiana on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

No, Robinson doesn't play defense. But his head coach liked how the Lexington, Kentucky, native battled through some tough hits and represented the salute-to-the-Blackshirt jerseys.

"He wasn't 100% either and he went out and played like he was," head coach Scott Frost said. "He earned the right, even though he's not on defense, to wear a Blackshirt today. He's that kind of kid."

He finished with 28 total touches: 22 carries for 83 yards and six catches for 71.
