The storyline of Nebraska assistant coach Armon Gates going against his former team Saturday when Northwestern comes to town won't really get off the ground.
Gates was out recruiting Friday as the Huskers returned to the practice floor in preparation for facing the Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena. He won't, obviously, have the scout on a roster with which he is very familiar.
"I don't really go there, just out of respect. But he knows those guys. And he's out recruiting today, so he better be very good for us," Nebraska coach Tim Miles cracked Friday afternoon.
