FILE- In this Sept. 14, 2019, file image, Nebraska quarterback Noah Vedral (16) throws a pass during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Northern Illinois in Lincoln, Neb. Nebraska began preparing for this week's game at unbeaten Minnesota as if sophomore Vedral would start at quarterback in place of Adrian Martinez, who limped to the sideline at the end of the third quarter of the Cornhuskers' win against Northwestern on Saturday and had ice on his left knee when he came out of the medical tent.
