TJ Lateef's recovery time has Nebraska coach optimistic for Las Vegas Bowl

A big part of the reason Nebraska is a massive underdog to Utah ahead of the Las Vegas Bowl is that it's not clear who will play quarterback for the Huskers. Dylan Raiola is definitely out, and TJ Lateef is still nursing a hamstring injury he sustained toward the end of the season.

However, earlier this week, Huskers head coach Matt Rhule said that Lateef is healing up faster than they expected. Things are still very uncertain, but with three weeks until NU has to suit up against the Utes, there is a chance Lateef could make the start.
