Nebraska coordinators Matt Lubick and Erik Chinander met with members of the media following practice Tuesday to discuss the team’s preparation for Purdue this weekend. Lubick said he expects both quarterbacks to play against Purdue, but he isn’t revealing specifics. Chinander said he liked the way the defense bounced back last week at Iowa following the loss to Illinois. He said “it shows that the program is moving in the right direction.” The Huskers and Boilermakers are set to kickoff Saturday morning at 11:00.
