Husker Football Practice Comments // NRG CNT

LINCOLN – Husker Football head coach Matt Rhule addressed the media Thursday and spoke about his quarterback’s injuries, preparing the backups for action, facing adversity, national spotlights, and much more.

 

NEBRASKA FOOTBALL THURSDAY PRACTICE COMMENTS – MATT RHULE:

RHULE – HAARBERG AVAILABLE FOR FRIDAY PRACTICE:

Husker quarterback Heinrich Haarberg injured his ankle during the Maryland loss, and head coach Matt Rhule provided an update for the former Kearney Catholic signal caller…

Haarberg has started each game since taking the job at the Northern Illinois contest in Week Three. 

 

RHULE – SIMS & PURDY READY TO PLAY:

Nebraska Football head coach Matt Rhule was asked how prepared backup quarterbacks Jeff Sims and Chubba Purdy are heading into a road trip at Wisconsin with starter Heinrich Haarberg limited in practice…

Both quarterbacks played in the loss to Maryland last week, as each tossed an interception during the contest with Sims throwing two picks and recording a fumble. 

 

RHULE – TEAM APPROACH IS FACING GROWTH, NOT ADVERSITY:

Nebraska Football is on their second three game losing skid of the season at 5-5 on the year, as head coach Matt Rhule was asked at his Thursday press conference how his team handles that adversity…

The Huskers have two games remaining to get to bowl eligibility, as they travel to 5-5 Wisconsin Saturday for a national prime-time contest. 

 

RHULE – BRAELON ALLEN ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED BACKS:

Nebraska Football has had a poor historical record against Wisconsin tailbacks – whether it be Melvin Gordon, Montee Ball, Jonathan Taylor, the list goes on – the Huskers could face another record-breaking Badger on Saturday. Head Coach Matt Rhule was asked his impression in preparing for Braelon Allen…

Allen has been limited in practice this week for Wisconsin having been subdued by a leg injury throughout the second half of the season. 

 

RHULE – NEBRASKA NEEDS NATIONAL BROADCASTS:

The Husker Football head coach Matt Rhule was ecstatic when asked how he felt about being in a national spotlight the final two weeks of the regular season…

Nebraska Football will play on NBC on Saturday night at Wisconsin then faces a noon kickoff against Iowa on Black Friday with television coverage by CBS.
