One word sums up what Husker head coach Mike Riley wants to see from his team Saturday.
One word: Efficiency.
"I'd be real pleased with an efficient game," Riley said after Thursday's practice at Hawks Championship Center. "Smart game. All those things that go with that word. Procedurally. I think we've had a great week of practice. I've really appreciated this team, and more so this week, with all they've been through."
Riley expects something else from his team when it takes to the road at Purdue on Saturday.
"I think with the investment they've made, we'll play physical, we'll play hard," he said.
