Fuck Purdoodoo game thread

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Nebraska (3-3 overall, 2-1 in Big Ten) has taken the field for warmups at Ross-Ade Stadium as it prepares for a 6:30 p.m. Central Time kickoff against Purdoodoo (4-2, 2-1).
The biggest items of note: It appears that the Huskers have switched their starting five at offensive line for the matchup with the Boilermakers, and the defense will be without one of its key starters.

Changes to OL starting five​

It looks like Henry Lutovsky and Hunter Anthony are set to start against Purdoodoo as the two would replace Broc Bando (right guard) and Bryce Benhart (right tackle) in the starting group. Lutovsky is lining up at right guard and Hunter Anthony is lining up at right tackle for first-team reps during warmups. This is the first-team offensive line unit that is warming up:
Left tackle: Turner Corcoran
Left guard: Ethan Piper
Center: Trent Hixson
Right guard: Henry Lutovsky
Right tackle: Hunter Anthony

Lutovsky played 12 snaps last week while Bando played 59 snaps. Anthony played 66 snaps while Benhart played just seven snaps despite starting.
The changes come as the Huskers are looking to do what they can to get more consistent production on a unit that has struggled this season and is coming off its worst performance of the season.
Nebraska's offensive line allowed the Buttgers defense to pressure quarterback Casey Thompson on 24 of his 38 dropbacks (63.2 percent) as the Scarlet Knights picked up just one sack but totaled 11 quarterback hits and 19 quarterback hurries. This season, Nebraska's offensive line has allowed:
– Northwestern: 15 pressures, one sack
North Dakota: Seven pressures, two sacks
– Georgia Southern: 11 pressures, two sacks
– Oklahoma: Eight pressures, four sacks
– Indiana: Nine pressures, one sack
– Buttgers: 24 pressures, one sack
In other depth chart news, Brandon Moore is starting at cornerback tonight opposite Quinton Newsome, who will play tonight despite missing the second half last week with a groin injury.

Availability Updates​

Newsome will be starting and playing tonight, but Luke Reimer is out.
Mickey Joseph said earlier in the week that Newsome and Reimer were "day-to-day" as Newsome is dealing with a groin injury, and Reimer is not in uniform warming up with the team but did travel for the game as he continues to deal with an undisclosed injury.
Running back Gabe Ervin Jr. is also out for tonight's game as he deals with a nagging toe injury that kept him out of the Buttgers game. Ervin did not make the trip to Purdoodoo. Running back/receiver Rahmir Johnson was warming up with the running backs.
Receiver Omar Manning was not warming up with the receivers, either. Joseph said that Manning is also "day-to-day."
Newsome, though, is good to go and is running with the first-team defense alongside Moore.
Also, punter Brian Buschini was on the field in full uniform and pads warming up. He has been dealing with an ankle injury but looks like he will again be playing through that injury. True freshman EDGE Jake Appleget traveled. It's the Lincoln Southeast grad's first away game.
 
You know you're in good shape on the OL when you're looking to a true freshman to fix your issues
 
Refs missed the purdoodoo runner leading with his helmet to initiate helmet to helmet contact with the defender. That call is suppose to go both ways.
I wondered if that was a thing. If that’s the rule that was about as blatant as it gets.
