Welcome to Memorial Stadium, where Nebraska is set to host Illinois at 11 a.m. 

Here are some pregame observations: 

* Senior running back Dedrick Mills will not play for the Huskers.

He was on the field during early warmups walking around and taking in the sights, but when the offense came back out in uniform, he was not in pads. Neither was redshirt freshman running back Ronald Thompkins. 

Mills missed most of last week’s game after suffering what appeared to be a right knee injury. Frost said after the game that the injury was minor. 

It also appears that freshman running back Sevion Morrison is not in uniform. Reporters from the Journal Star and Omaha World-Herald found 89 players in warmups, but not Morrison or a couple of other players who have been dressed in past weeks that are not on the dress list: 

– Junior WR Omar Manning 

– Freshman DB Ronald Delancy

* Junior college defensive back Nadab Joseph is in uniform for the first time, it appears. The latest edition on the roster, Joseph didn’t get to Lincoln until August. He was one of the top-ranked junior college prospects in the country this past offseason and came out of high school as a top-100 recruit nationally before ending up in juco.
