Yeah...these things are routine. I had mine out my senior year during football season. Had it out on a Thursday, missed that Friday's game but was back on the field the next Friday.

An improved running game will only make the passing game that much better and will make for a very lethal Husker offense :)
Were these runs by the first teamers against the first team defense or the second team?
