NU Prepares to Take on Southern Miss

Lincoln, Neb.- The Nebraska football team practiced for less than 90 minutes without pads at the Hawks Championship Center on Thursday in preparation for Saturday's game against Southern Miss.

Head Coach Mike Riley spoke with the media after practice and discussed having another good week of practice despite several team members fighting some illness. He also said that defensive tackle Vincent Valentine will likely not be playing this weekend.

"We would like to be at full strength but at least we have three guys that will rotate the game," Riley said of the defensive line.
