Nebraska’s Teddy Prochazka (65) takes on Northwestern’s Peter McIntyre (40) and Jason Gold in the fourth quarter Oct. 2 at Memorial Stadium.
The video was captured from the State Patrol helicopter while the audio was captured by a trooper on the field.
Nebraska will play the remainder of the football season without Teddy Prochazka.
The true freshman tackle will undergo knee surgery, coach Scott Frost confirmed during his weekly news conference Monday.
The Elkhorn South graduate was injured during the second quarter of Saturday’s 32-29 loss to Michigan.
“I feel terrible for anybody that gets hurt,” Frost said. “It’s just tough. Teddy’s just been improving by leaps and bounds since he got here. It’s a tough setback, but guys come back from these things and he’ll be fine.”
Prochazka has appeared in five games, one game over the redshirt limit, but Frost said the Huskers will seek a medical redshirt.
Prochazka’s void means Bryce Benhart will be inserted into the starting lineup after he was benched for Northwestern two weeks ago. After Prochazka went down, Benhart came down and played at right tackle and Turner Corcoran moved to left tackle.
For Benhart, “He’s got a chance to show us this week,” Frost said. “This is a big opportunity for him and we got a lot of faith in him.”
Nebraska plays at Minnesota at 11 a.m. Saturday.
* After a physical game, Nebraska went through a pad-less practice Monday in preparation for the Gophers. “There’s a lot of thumping (usually on Mondays),” Frost said. “I thought I needed to give guys a break after a really physical game on Saturday.”
