This morning, the Big Ten Conference and ESPN announced that the game time for Nebraska's November 1 game against Purdue won't be announced until next Sunday, utilizing one of the "6 day windows". So keep your tailgating and watch party plans fluid.
This week's game against Rutgers will be on ESPN2 at 11 am. (We already knew the time, just didn't know the channel...)
Beth Mowins/Joey Galloway the TV crew this week. Last game Mowins worked in Lincoln was when Bo left early with health issues. #Huskers

Bo Pelini opened his weekly press conference by expressing relief that the run of five straight night games is over. Not sure the fans agree, though.
Pelini on the five night games: "It just takes it toll on you, but I'm glad we have that part of the schedule behind us." #Huskers

Pelini said he spent some of the bye week familiarizing himself with Rutgers (after studying Northwestern). #Huskers

Pelini should be quite familiar with Northwestern after playing them the last three years, so it makes sense to spend a little time during a bye week taking a peek at the new guy on the schedule.
Pelini said no notable injuries came out of Saturday's game. #Huskers

For whatever reason, Pelini said, Northwestern's tempo on offense got to Nebraska early. And yeah, there were missed tackles. #Huskers

Pelini: "When teams get you reeling a little bit, you have to make a play ... That's what we have to get better at." #Huskers

Bo Pelini praised Tim Beck for "mixing it up and finding some good structures to run the football out of." #Huskers

Pelini says Tommy Armstrong Jr. is "sometimes too hard on himself, but I think he’s got better in that area... I think he's really matured."

The following quote won't go unnoticed by ESPN commentators... (I'm thinking PAAAAWWWWWWWWLLLLLLL just dedicated an entire segment to this one...)
Bo Pelini on ESPN-SEC relationship, "I don't think those things are good for college football. You're supposed to be neutral." #Huskers
