On Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers lost to the Michigan Wolverines 3-34. It was their fourth consecutive loss.
Nebraska’s offense continued to struggle without quarterback Casey Thompson. Chubba Purdy started at quarterback. He threw for 56 yards and rushed for 39 yards before exiting late in the second quarter with an ankle injury. He returned to the sideline in a boot and on crutches. In Purdy’s absence, Logan Smothers, who was playing through injuries, took over at quarterback, but he recorded only 15 passing yards.
Nevertheless, there were some good individual performances for the Cornhuskers. Here are Nebraska’s Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week.
