Nebraska's Roger Craig breaks through as third-string star
In nine games this season Roger Craig has rushed for 707 yards on 89 carries, averaging 7.9 yards per carry. The 6-foot-2 sophomore credits stronger legs and a powerful, low running style behind Nebraska's line and fullback blocks. He rose to the spotlight after injuries to starters opened opportunities, tallying 176 yards and three touchdowns against Colorado and 183 yards against Kansas State, while eyes stay on upcoming Iowa State and Oklahoma games.
