Starting RB Lester is suspended. His back-up Ben Tate (4 stars out of HS for Husker fans) averaged 7.3 ypc last year.....but look where his numbers came from. It'll make you feel a bit better.
Buffalo- 114 yards on 7 carries for a 16.3 avg.
Tulane- 156 yards on 26 carries for a 6.0 avg.
Arkansas State - 93 yards on 11 carries for a 8.5 avg.
He saw action in just 2 SEC games (Miss. St & UGA) and had just 6 yards on 6 carries.
