Huskers Ready for Heat From Bulls, Mother Nature /

Temperatures in the upper 90s are forecast for Saturday, and coach Scott Frost says the team's pregame warmups will be modified accordingly.

"We're going to adjust warmups a little bit and make sure we don't spend too much before the game," Frost said after Thursday's practice. "We've got the guys as prepped for that as we possibly can. I hope the fans take care of themselves too."

As for the Huskers' opponent, the Buffalo Bulls, he said: "They really run and hit on defense. We only have one game tape to go on, but they looked great in that first game. Our guys are prepped for a battle."

Frost offered nothing specific about the status of wide receiver Oliver Martin and tight end Travis Vokolek but said they are "really close" to returning to action.
