Falls just short of 200 Mills ran 25 times for 191 yards and caught six passes for 45 yards on six targets Friday versus Rutgers.

Impact Considering Mill had no more than 60 rushing yards in a game all season and had never amassed more than 25 total touches, his 31-touch effort Saturday came as a bit of a surprise. Mills made the most of his additional chances to turn in easily his best outing of the season. He closes out 2020 with 404 rushing yards and a trio of scores while compiling 13 grabs for 84 yards over six games. Even though he's a senior, Mills would be eligible to rejoin the team next season if he chooses given the NCAA's decision to grant all seniors an extra year of eligibility.

Quiet day versus Gopher Mills rushed 12 times for 50 yards and hauled in his lone target for another six Saturday versus Minnesota.

Impact Mills seemed in line for a sizable effort versus a Minnesota defense that has routinely allowed opposing rushing attacks to go wild, but he turned in a rather subdued effort as the Huskers once again struggled to get much going offensively. Next week's game versus Rutgers doesn't have the same fantasy appeal on paper, though the opposition has still run for 11 touchdowns through eight games.

Notches TD in return Mills (undisclosed) ran 16 times for 60 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's game versus Purdue.

Impact While it wasn't an explosive effort for Mills in his return to action, he did enough to help the Huskers to just their second win in six tries Saturday. The senior should remain the primary ballcarrier next week versus a Minnesota defense allowing 215 rushing yards per game, assuming the contest goes on as planned.
