Getting your player ready...
LINCOLN, Neb.—Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says he isn’t planning to ease up at practice this week even though his players are tiring from the grind of the season.
The Cornhuskers, who can clinch the Big 12 North title with a win over Kansas State on Saturday, worked out in half pads for about 90 minutes Monday in the Hawks Championship Center.
Pelini said everybody in college football is fatigued at this point in the season, but it’s more mental than physical.
Tight end Mike McNeill and defensive end Pierre Allen missed practice with undisclosed injuries.
Pelini said backup running back Rex Burkhead, out since Oct. 12 with a broken right foot, has resumed running and could be ready to play in a couple weeks.
