Nebraska cornerback Tommi Hill expects to be back in action Saturday when the Huskers face unbeaten Rutgers in Lincoln.

That was one of the updates Thursday from head coach Matt Rhule in his final session with the media before Saturday's 3 p.m. CDT game in Memorial Stadium. Hill sat out last week's game at Purdue after injuring a foot during the first half against Illinois.

Rhule discussed the field goal unit's struggles, the Huskers' need to reduce penalties and how they're preparing for the mid-90s temperatures that are in the forecast for Saturday afternoon in Lincoln.
