Final observation before the game: While we're all excited about Taylor Martinez' newfound footwork and throwing motion, the most important aspect of this game will be for Nebraska to establish the ground game early. It doesn't matter whether it's Ameer Abdullah flying around the end or the combination of Mike Marrow/Imani Cross pounding the middle; the Bruins must respect the run game in order to make play-action and motion fakes more believable.
