Suspended Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips could be reinstated within a month if he takes steps to control his anger, Coach Tom Osborne said Monday.
Phillips, a junior who rushed for 359 yards and seven touchdowns in the second-ranked Cornhuskers’ first two games, was suspended Sept. 10 after being charged with hitting his ex-girlfriend.
