Rapid reaction: NU rides with Farmer at center; Martinez works on efficiency; praise for Jurgens

Nebraska senior Tanner Farmer started at center last week at Wisconsin and will get the call again Saturday at Northwestern.

Greg Austin, the Huskers' offensive line coach, said following Wednesday's practice the Huskers "are rolling with Tanner" as fellow senior Cole Conrad recovers from injuries.

Austin also said true freshman Cameron Jurgens, who's now working at the interior offensive line positions as well as tight end, shows great promise. In fact, head coach Scott Frost told coaches that Jurgens has attributes like former Husker All-American center Dave Rimington.

"That's a big name to throw out," Austin said.
