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.

Husker lineman Nouredin Nouili to miss 2022 season after failed drug test

A big blow to the Husker offensive line!!

Nebraska offensive lineman Nouredin Nouili has announced that he will miss the entire 2022 college football season due to a failed drug test. He made the announcement on social media on Saturday.

“I would like to apologize to my family, teammates, coaches, and Husker fans for my error in judgment. It is an honor to be a part of this football program and represent this university, and I do not take that responsibility likely. Thanks to Coach [Scott] Frost, our athletic and university administration, for allowing me to continue to be part of this program in 2022.”

The Frankfurt, Germany native started his career at Colorado State and started seven games at guard during the 2019 season before transferring to Nebraska. He played in every game of the 2021 season and started the final seven games as a left guard. In a statement to the media, Head Coach Scott Frost expressed his support for Nouili.

“We will fully support Nouredin Nouili as (he) continues his academic and athletic career at the University of Nebraska. He is an outstanding young man who made a mistake that will force him to miss the 2022 season and forfeit a year of eligibility. Noure will be a full participant in practice this fall, and we look forward to him resuming his playing career in 2023.”

This announcement is a blow for the Husker offensive line heading into 2022, as Nouili was considered a lock to start at left guard for offensive line coach Donovan Raiola. The tackles spots look like they will be filled by Teddy Prochazka and Turner Corcoran, who both had injuries and missed the spring. However, the Huskers have options with Broc Bando, Bryce Benhard, or even the possibility of moving center Trent Hixson over to try and fill that spot on the line. Donovan Raiola now has his first significant line issue of the season, and I am intrigued to see how he responds.
