Red Report: Ruud says Husker ILB Miller 'going to start playing a lot more for us'

Nebraska linebacker Collin Miller (31) rushes Purdue quarterback David Blough (11) in the first quarter at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

One way or another, inside linebackers coach Barrett Ruud thinks Collin Miller is in for an uptick in playing time.

“He’s had a good week of practice, he really has, and he’s getting close,” Ruud said of the sophomore, who started camp as an outside linebacker but switched early on. “He was very unselfish moving over to inside being a guy that was kind of a life-long edge-type guy.

“He’s a talented football player and he’s a guy that’s going to start playing a lot more for us.
