Tre Bryant looked to be the team's top running back coming out of spring, but when pressed running backs coach Reggie Davis remained noncommittal at this time.

Instead, Nebraska's assistant in charge of the running game said he does know the staff wants one player to emerge.

"The ultimate goal is to get that one guy that has it all with one package," Davis said. "That's what we're looking for first and if we don't have that, then you look to see how you put the pieces together."

One of the guys jumping out because of his summer is Devine Ozigbo. The junior running back has two years of experience and he helped himself by slimming down a bit and coming prepared for fall camp.

Davis likes what the Texan has shown thus far, but the position is still very much up for grabs.

"Devine did a great job really trimming down and really improving his body," Davis said. "He did an excellent job. That's really helped him out on the field. There's not a huge difference right now. Tre is consistent for us. That's what we like about Tre. He can do it all and he's consistent for us. Mikale Wilbon, like I've said, he's the most sudden guy in the room. A dynamic guy. We're going to have to see what we're going to do there."

A very large part of what Nebraska wants to do is run the screen game effectively, effectively punishing teams who want to blitz Nebraska. The screen game has largely eluded Nebraska over the past few years, but head coach Mike Riley has talked about how it's a goal for the offense going forward.

Davis reiterated those thoughts and feels his group has the potential to be good at it.

"They're all pretty good screen runners and they've gotten better over the years, as we've been working it ever since we got here as a staff," he said. "Those guys have gotten their timing down. The line have gotten better, we've gotten better, quarterbacks have gotten better, so the whole screen game is looking much better. All those backs can run the screens."
