Lincoln -- The Nebraska football team practiced for two hours in half-pads Wednesday in preparation for Saturday's 11:40 a.m. game with Utah State.

Head coach Frank Solich was pleased with the workout, which took place on the grass fields north of Memorial Stadium.

"I thought that we had a pretty good practice today," Solich said. "They are working at it and they have a good attitude. We worked in half-pads today and I think we got a lot covered."
