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.

CBB Roundup: Recapping a busy last 24 hours in college basketball

It’s been a busy last 24 hours in college basketball, here’s what you may have missed.

It’s been an incredibly busy last 24 hours in college athletics and especially college basketball. While coaching searches and hires have grabbed the headlines. After a busy Wednesday that saw nearly a double-digit amount of head coaching jobs be fulfilled, Thursday was filled with press conferences, assistant coaching hires, and more.

Because of all that, quite a few notable pieces of news have gone under the radar. From transfer portal additions, to potential NBA rule changes, and awards. There’s been a lot that has happened over the last day – here’s just a select few updates.

The first storyline that flied under the radar is that FAU head coach Dusty May isn’t planning on leaving Boca Raton anytime soon. The former Indiana assistant according to Matt Noralnder of CBS Sports, is expected to sign a long-term contract with FAU that would keep him in Boca Raton for the foreseeable future.

In his fifth season with the Owls, May has led the program to a 35-3 overall record including an 18-2 record in Conference-USA play. The Owls entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 9 seed in the East Region and have made a Cinderella run to the Final Four defeating Memphis, Farleigh Dickinson, Tennessee, and Kansas State in the process. During the last few weeks multiple schools have shown interest in May but with the Owls deep run have eventually ended up looking elsewhere.
