00:00 Here's today's Husker Max Practice Report brought to you by Tracy's Collision Center
00:05 on 1499.3 KLIN.
00:08 Husker football head coach Matt Rule said quarterback Jeff Sims did not practice with
00:13 the team Sunday after suffering an ankle injury against Colorado and is unsure of his status
00:18 heading into Northern Illinois, but he is confident in both Chubba Purdy and Heinrich
00:23 Harbor.
00:24 Just lean back on kind of what I said at the end of training camp that I felt like we could
00:27 win with Chubba and I felt like we could win with Heinrich.
00:30 They both can run so we can maintain some of the things that we're doing quarterback
00:33 run wise.
00:34 You know I think some of the plays we've called, I think quarterback draws and you
00:37 can see it as like a scramble, but we've called some quarterback draws that those guys can
00:40 execute at a high level.
00:41 Rule has a ton of respect for the Northern Illinois Huskies.
00:44 We're going to face an excellent team that came here in 2017 and won.
00:48 Northern Illinois is a winning culture.
00:49 Programs are either winning or losing programs in my opinion.
00:52 And so Northern Illinois is a winning program led by a man who won there as a player and
00:56 is now winning there as a coach.
00:57 With this Husker Max Practice Report, I'm Matt McMaster.
