As Lincoln goes through a few days of rainy and chilly weather, Nebraska football is getting outside in the elements in preparation for what could happen on a game day.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, it was awesome,” Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen said Tuesday about practicing in the rain.<\/p>\n
Holgorsen was complimentary of the new practice fields, that were installed in the offseason with grass turf replacing the artificial surface.<\/p>\n
“It’s nice to go out there on those grass fields, I know that,” Holgorsen said. “When I got here a year ago, those things were not very good and it was tough to go out there and practice with that surface. We don’t that excuse. The surface is good. Practice conditions are good. Football is meant to be played out there.”<\/p>\n

Saturday is expected to be colder than Tuesday. With kickoff set for after sunset, temperatures could be in the mid-to-low 40s at the start of the game.<\/p>\n
“Even better,” Holgorsen said. “It’s probably sunny and 85 out there in LA, right?”<\/p>\n
Sunny and 76 at the time of the media availability, headed to a high of 88. The USC Trojans, up to No. 23 in the latest AP poll, are bringing one of the hottest offenses in the nation to Memorial Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“They can run it, and they can throw it. They got a good quarterback. They got good wideouts. They have an athletic offensive line. So, it’s a huge challenge,” Nebraska defensive coordinator John Butler said. “It’s a huge opportunity, though.<\/p>\n
“You either look at things as challenges or threats, and this is a great challenge for us, our young defense to go out and play in a great environment against a great offense.”<\/p>\n
