What happened: Rule produced 169 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns against Ohio on Saturday. He rushed for 122 yards on 15 carries and added 47 yards and a touchdown on two receptions.

Why it matters: His collegiate debut delivered Nebraska's first season-opening 100-yard rushing performance by a freshman running back since 2004. He also became the sixth Big Ten freshman since 1995 with two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown in one game.
