Red Report: Frost says Mills' load likely will increase in time; review of return; and Terps' plight

Nebraska running back Dedrick Mills scores a touchdown against Wisconsin on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

EMILY HANEY, Journal Star

Nebraska running back Dedrick Mills on Saturday enjoyed his best game as a Husker, churning out 188 yards and a touchdown on just 17 carries.

Some folks wonder whether Mills' rushing total should have been higher, citing the fact he carried only four times (for 76 yards) in the second half. One of those carries was a 43-yard dash early in the fourth quarter.

In falling 37-21 to Wisconsin, Nebraska ran only 27 plays in the second half after running 33 in the first.
