Nebraska Continues to Prepare for Kansas State - Huskers.com - Nebraska Athletics Official Web Site

Lincoln- On Tuesday afternoon the Nebraska Cornhuskers continued to prepare for their first Big 12 conference game of the season. The Huskers practiced indoors at the Hawks Championship Center and outside on the Ed and Joyanne Gass practice fields in helmets and shorts. After practice, Head Coach Bo Pelini addressed the media saying that it was a good practice.

"We had a good day," said Pelini. "It was a good practice and we had a good week. I think our guys are just anxious to play."

Thursday's game marks the second time this season that the Huskers will play an opponent on the road.

"Anytime you go on the road, it will be a different environment and a different football team," said Pelini. "If we play well, it won't be an issue. It doesn't matter where you're playing. Our guys will handle the road elements, we just got to make sure we execute our football."

Coach Pelini also touched on the progress of the defensive line saying, "The d-line has played well throughout. I don't think anyone on the football team played the way we wanted to against South Dakota State, but we're making strides. I think we're getting better."

The Huskers will have a walk-through tomorrow before they board the buses to travel south to Manhattan Kan. Thursday night's game will be nationally televised on ESPN and kicks off at 6:45 p.m.
