Eat, sleep, hydrate: Huskers have ‘plenty of gas’ as eighth straight game week begins | Football



Nebraska has two off weeks on the horizon. The first comes after Saturday’s game and then the Huskers return to action for home games against Purdue and Ohio State before another off week. That Nov. 13 date on the schedule was originally Southeastern Louisiana, but NU reworked its schedule in order to play Fordham at home in September.

Though the Huskers played Week 0, they don’t get extra practice days during the regular season, so they’ll make up some of the off days during the off weeks. That means even lighter loads ahead than a typical bye week, likely, for Nebraska’s players.

For now, though, the focus is on this week and the Gophers.

“I told the players after practice this morning, the big thing this week is we have to recover,” Frost said. “It’s been a grind and we’ve got to recover. Sleeping and eating right and hydrating and everything, getting physically right for this game. I know they’ll be emotionally and mentally right.”

Martinez said he’s got no doubts about Nebraska’s preparation. 

“This team knows how to battle,” he said. “We still, despite our record, know how good of a team we are and what we’re capable of. We still have some big games on the schedule and the biggest one is Minnesota. Lucky enough, we play in a great conference where each week is another great opponent, and these guys are ready. They’re ready to answer the call.”
