Lincoln, Neb. – The Huskers practiced for just under two hours Tuesday in the Hawks Championship Center and Gass Practice Facility in preparation for Friday’s game against the third-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes.

Offensive Coordinator Danny Langsdorf spoke to the media after practice about facing the Hawkeye defense.

“They don’t give up many big plays, they’re really sound and really solid across the board,” Langsdorf stated when asked about the biggest challenge the Iowa defense will bring. “They’re well coached and they’re always in good position, and you see that week in and week out.”

When asked about Desmond King, Iowa’s star defensive back, Langsdorf said “I think he leads the country in interceptions. He’s always in very good position, he’s going to be the guy that we are going to have to really understand where he is and be careful. We don’t want to be careless around him.”

“I think our guys are playing at a high level. They’re playing with a lot of confidence, and we have a belief that we can win the game.”

The game will be televised on ABC. Kick-off is set for 2:30 p.m. Check back to huskers.com for more information.
