Nebraska Football's Rahmir Johnson Ruled Out for Huskers' Game Against Ohio State

Running back expected to miss game due to injury, will focus on recovery

Huskers will need to adjust their offensive strategy without one of their top playmakers

Nebraska Football has been dealt a significant blow ahead of their upcoming game against Ohio State, as running back Rahmir Johnson has been ruled out due to injury. The news was first reported by the Lincoln Journal Star and has since been confirmed by the team.

Johnson, a key part of the Huskers' offense, is expected to miss the game due to an undisclosed injury. The injury is not believed to be serious, but it is serious enough to keep him out of the lineup for at least one game.

Huskers will need to adjust offensive game plan without Johnson

The Huskers will now need to adjust their offensive game plan without one of their top playmakers. Johnson has been a key part of the Nebraska offense this season, rushing for 427 yards and three touchdowns on 75 carries. He also has 14 receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown.

With Johnson out of the lineup, the Huskers will likely turn to sophomore running back Anthony Grant to fill the void. Grant has rushed for 231 yards and two touchdowns on 42 carries this season.

The Huskers will also need to find ways to get more production from their passing game. Quarterback Casey Thompson has thrown for 1,625 yards and nine touchdowns this season, but he has also thrown eight interceptions.

Johnson expected to return soon

Johnson is expected to miss only one game and is expected to return to the lineup for the Huskers' next game against Purdue on October 15th.

The Huskers will be hoping to get Johnson back in the lineup as soon as possible, as they will need all hands on deck for their upcoming stretch of games.

The Huskers are 3-3 this season and will be looking to improve their record to 4-3 with a win over Ohio State. The Buckeyes are 5-0 this season and are ranked No. 3 in the country.
