In the wake of all the craziness that erupted at the end of this week, it’s nice to return to some normalcy for the Nebraska football team and just focus on the game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Of course, the bad news here is that the Huskers have a rather tall task ahead of them if they want to try and beat PJ Fleck’s gang.
The Nebraska football team enters Saturday’s contest having lost two in a row, with the most recent loss, against Illinois being the one that has people wondering whether or not Mickey Joseph is the man for the job. It’s the first time that people have really started worrying about the interim head coach.
When it comes to wondering about things, Husker fans are wondering whether or not Casey Thompson is going to be able to play today. The starting quarterback was injured against Illini and there is a real question of whether he’ll be ready to go.
In fact, it appears that there’s a very good chance he won’t be ready. That means Chubba Purdy and Logan Smothers will try and carry the load.
