Tommy Armstrong Jr. admitted that if Nebraska had played Saturday, he likely wouldn’t have.
“Probably not, honestly,” said Armstrong, the Nebraska senior quarterback. “I was kind of banged up a little bit."
Good thing, then, the Huskers had a bye week.
That’s true for many players who've been ailing after four weeks of fall camp and five straight weeks of games.
It’s especially true for arguably Nebraska’s most important player on offense.
“We’re going to have tough games ahead, but you’re only as strong as your quarterback,” Armstrong said Monday.
