The Nebraska football team's defense knows it has its work cut out for it on Saturday afternoon against the Michigan State Spartans. That's why DC John Butler and Co. are hoping defensive back Malcolm Hartzog can play. However, at the moment, things are very much up in the air.
Hartzog has been banged up for the early portion of the Huskers' season. While he was the hero of the win over Cincinnati, he's played very sparingly since. And while there was some optimism from Matt Rhule that he'd be able to play against Michigan, it wasn't to be.
