It’s never easy for Nebraska football and that remains true following the news of the week with the Huskers now down two running backs for the season. 
The Husker247 trio got together on Tuesday morning to discuss how the injuries of Gabe Ervin and Rahmir Johnson affect the season ahead and where things sit following Nebraska’s win.
Conversation shifts from running back to receiver to tight end and even offensive line as Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson take turns walking through the offense and each unit, discussing how things have looked for the Huskers. How much changes without those running backs for either Heinrich Haarberg or Jeff Sims? Can Thomas Fidone become a focal point of Nebraska’s passing attack? Has so much happened everywhere else that we’ve largely forgotten about the offensive line?
Then it’s time to talk defense and Bruntz along with Mike Schaefer work through how well things went against Northern Illinois, which new defenders have emerged this week and how Tony White has built a system that allows new players to step in and look like seasoned veterans.
Finally a little recruiting talk as the Huskers have their first visit weekend for a home game this season. Could Nebraska steal Brandon Baker? Who is the big competition for Jayshawn Ross? What’s the latest with Caleb Benning?
