Huskers Wrapping up Preparations for Fresno

nebraska_helmetLincoln, Neb.- The Nebraska football team continued its preparations for their first road trip of the season Saturday at the Fresno State Bulldogs, as the Huskers conducted a 50-minute walk-thru Thursday afternoon inside of the Hawks Championship Center.

Head Coach Bo Pelini addressed the media following practice, noting that the Huskers will head out to Fresno after an early afternoon practice in Lincoln.

“We have had a good week of preparation, I feel good about it,” Pelini said. “We don’t get out there until later. We are going to practice here in the early afternoon and then head out there.”

Pelini added that this week has been a pretty normal week for the Huskers.

“I thought we had a good week of prep, not as good on Tuesday, better on Wednesday which is normally how the week goes. We tied some things up today and I expect pretty good attention to detail tomorrow.”

Pelini did mention that he did not think the Huskers had a poor week of practice last week leading up to the McNeese State game, but rather just failed to play with good technique and fundamentals during the game Saturday.

“I don’t think we had a horrible week of prep last week, it was just like we didn’t have our stinger when we took the field,” he said. “I think our guys played hard, we just did not play smart and with good technique.”

According to Pelini, wide receivers Sam Burtch and Brandon Reilly will not make the trip due to injuries. This will mark the third consecutive game both Burtch and Reilly will not suit up for the Huskers.

The Nebraska football team will have one more practice Friday afternoon before getting on the plane to travel to California. The Huskers’ first road game of the season Saturday at Fresno State will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network with a kickoff at 9:30 p.m. (Central).
