Nebraska Football vs Michigan State: Which Huskers are out for Saturday’s game?

One of the Cornhuskers top players on offense is listed as questionable for today’s matchup

Ahead of Saturday afternoon’s Big Ten matchup in East Lansing between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Michigan State Spartans, the Big Ten released the player availability reports for both programs.

For the Cornhuskers, it’s another small injury report. Wide receiver Billy Kemp who was out last week has been upgraded to questionable for this week. If Kemp can go, he’ll step back into the role as the Huskers top wide receiver. So far this season, Kemp has totaled 21 receptions for 216 yards and one touchdown.

Listed as out this week for the Huskers is freshman defensive lineman Princewill Umanmielen as well as redshirt freshman Kaine Williams. Notably, Offensive lineman Nouredin Nouili who was listed as out for last week’s matchup against Pittsburgh is not listed on the injury report.

For the Spartans, 12 players are listed as out for Saturday’s game headlined by tight end Maliq Carr and quarterback Noah Kim. Carr has been one of the Spartans’ top receiving threats this season with 19 receptions for 201 yards.

With Noah Kim not at quarterback today, expect the Spartans to turn to Katin Houser as the likely starter but backup quarterback Sam Leavitt could see some run in the game as well.

The Cornhuskers and Spartans are scheduled to kickoff at 11:00 a.m. CT with the game televised on FS1.

Nebraska Football vs Purdue: What Cornhuskers are out or questionable?

The Cornhuskers will be without two starters for their Big Ten West matchup against Purdue on Saturday

Ahead of Saturday afternoon’s Big Ten West clash at Memorial Stadium, the player availability reports for both Nebraska and Purdue were released by the Big Ten.

For the Cornhuskers, it is a small injury report this week with wide receiver Billy Kemp and offensive lineman Nouredin Nouili out for the game. Kemp suffered an MCL sprain in the Huskers’ win over Northwestern last week and is expected to miss a few weeks with the injury. Nouili is also expected to be out for a few weeks for the Huskers with an injury that has not been disclosed.

Kemp entered this week as the Huskers’ top wide receiver with 21 receptions for 216 yards and one touchdown while Nouili had been the starting right guard for the Huskers over the first seven weeks of the season. With Nouili out, sophomore Henry Lutovsky is expected to take over the starting duties at the right guard position this week.

For Purdue, the Boilermakers will be without wide receiver Abdur-Rahmaan Yaseen. In six games this season, Yaseen totaled 25 receptions for 329 yards, averaging 13.2 yards per reception. Also out for Purdue are defensive lineman Damarjhe Lewis, offensive lineman Scotty Humpich, and offensive lineman Luke Griffin are all listed as out. Redshirt freshman kicker Julio Macias and offensive lineman Mahamane Moussa are both listed as questionable.

Mahamane Moussa has started all seven of the Boilermakers games at left tackle this season. His availability will be a key one to watch on Saturday afternoon. With Julio Macias out, the Boilermakers will look toward Ben Freehill to take over the kicking duties. Freehill is 10-for-11 in extra point attempts and 1-for-3 in field goal opportunities.

The Cornhuskers and Boilermakers are scheduled to kickoff at 2:30 p.m. CT with the game televised on FS1.
