#1. Shaun Shivers & Josh Henderson combine for 200+ rushing yards & 2 TD’s

Nebraska has the fifth worst running defense in all of college football after Week 4, allowing 233.5 rushing yards per game and 3.0 rushing touchdowns per game (125th in FBS). In their three home games this season, the Cornhuskers have allowed 221.3 rushing yards per game on 44.3 attempts per game.

Last weekend, Shaun Shivers and Josh Henderson combined for just 108 rushing yards on 31 carries and one touchdown run by Shivers in the fourth quarter. In Week 2 against Idaho, Shivers and Henderson combined for 213 total rushing yards and two touchdowns, but that was against an FCS defense. Can the two running backs do it again?
