Lincoln, Neb. --- The Nebraska football team practiced for over two hours in full pads on Tuesday evening inside the Hawks Championship Center and outside on the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Field.

Defensive Coordinator Bob Diaco spoke with the media after practice about the Huskers’ Big Ten opener against Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights, under the direction of first-year offensive coordinator Jerry Kill, is 42nd nationally in rushing, averaging 195 yards per game on the ground. Kill was a head coach of Minnesota from 2011-2015.

“He’s a tough guy. He’s a brilliant football coach and his record speaks for himself,” Diaco said.
