Husker running backs coach Ryan Held said his backs probably left 20-some yards on the table by missing some cuts on "the tackle pull stuff." There was one cutback on a zone play early that stood out to him. "But I thought the guys ran hard."
Held thinks "everything is fixable" in regards to what Dedrick Mills didn't do. Little things here and there lacked in the opener. But Held said Mills takes the coaching well and was probably a little overly excited in the first game. "He's had a good week of practice. I expect him to play a lot better on Saturday."
