‘Bring it on’: Nebraska’s JoJo Domann ready for Michigan’s potent rushing attack

Nebraska’s run defense has a tough task ahead this week when Michigan comes to town.
The 9th-ranked Wolverines have 2 top-10 rushers in the B1G in Blake Corum (3) and Hassan Haskins (10). It won’t be easy for the Cornhuskers to stop the duo, although Wisconsin kept them both out of the end zone last week.
But Nebraska linebacker JoJo Domann, who was named B1G Co-Defensive Player of the Week this week, isn’t worried about it. He’s ready for the challenge.

Nebraska’s run defense ranks 9th in the B1G, allowing 122.2 rush yards per game. Michigan, meanwhile, runs for a league-high 255 yards per game. However, the Wolverines ran for just 112 yards last week against Wisconsin — the best run defense in the B1G.
The game between Michigan and Nebraska is getting the prime time treatment in Lincoln, kicking off at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
