Nebraska football continues to chase bowl eligibility, this time at home against UCLA. The Big Ten Conference has released the availability reports for both teams.

The Big Ten Conference began requiring an availability report in 2023. The report is simple: which players are out or questionable.

For the Huskers, kicker Tristan Alvano, fullback Barrett Liebentritt (season), defensive lineman Sua Lefotu (season), and offensive lineman Turner Corcoran are out. Defensive back Malcolm Hartzog and offensive lineman Micah Mazzccua are questionable. There is no mention of cornerback Tommi Hill, so it appears he will be ready to play.
