well, that's part of the title of this OWH article.
Some snippets from the article:
The Huskers are sticking with the run even if it doesn’t work as well early in games. Nebraska’s first-half run game — 4.36 yards per carry, 15 runs of 10 or more yards — is pedestrian. Its second-half run game — 5.38 yards per carry, 20 runs of 10 or more yards — is among the nation’s best.
The more Nebraska runs the ball well, the less pressure quarterback Tommy Armstrong has to win games with his arm. Perfectly placed fourth-quarter touchdown passes in wins over Fresno State and Wyoming certainly helped, but the senior is averaging 7.7 fewer pass attempts this season than in 2015.
“All that work we did in the summer getting our feet right is really paying off,” Jones said. As a result, the defense and the cornerbacks are playing like “a different group.” NU has given up just three passes of 30 or more yards this season.
