Defense will get rest this week in practice

[Nexus]

– Defensive coordinator Carl Pelini said he talked with coach Bo Pelini immediately after the game about getting some rest in practice this week for the NU defense. Carl Pelini said he thought the Huskers looked "a little tired" after playing 87 snaps a week ago in their 10-3 win over Oklahoma. The Blackshirts were on the field for another 70 snaps against KU. By shortening practices, Pelini said he thought the Huskers could freshen up in time for Kansas State's Saturday night visit.

That's good. They did look tired and they probably need it. Hopefully they're to the point where cutting back a bit won't detract from their level of intensity next week.

yeah definitely.

Hopefully the offense can sustain some drives/ TOP in the next game.

hat's off to our boys for toughing this game out, when so fatigued.
