3. Alonzo Moore- Wide Receiver: With 87 yards receiving, Alonzo Moore is third on the team in receiving yards. His 43 rushing yards is enough to make Moore tied for second with Imani Cross in rushing yards. He’s also tied for second with two touchdowns.

As a junior, Moore is just starting to scratch the surface of his offensive ability. Catching an array of short passes, Moore is averaging 10.9 yards per reception, but he has enough wiggle to turn a hitch into a house call. Still, there are plenty of other targets, so Moore is not keyed on by the defense.

When we mentioned a coming out party for the receivers, Alonzo Moore is who we had in mind. Look for Moore to get around seven catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. Doesn’t seem like much, but the way Nebraska spreads the wealth, it could be plenty enough for the Huskers to pull the upset.
