Steven M. Sipple: Held gets nod in strong field for Huskers' top football assistant in 2018

The Nebraska running backs coach has a certain way — it's far from leisurely — that he wants his players to finish each of their runs in practice.

“No matter the result of the play, you have to figure out how to break loose and at least give him three more stripes,” said Husker standout Devine Ozigbo, referring to the yardage lines. "It could mean anywhere from 10 to 15 to 20 more yards after you’ve been stopped. You still work moves at the next level.”

"Those are things that a lot of coaches tell their players," Ozigbo said.
