The Boilermakers top running back, Horvath broke his fibula earlier this season during Purdue’s 49-0 win over UConn.
Purdue has had to lean on King Doerue to shoulder the bulk of the running game with Horvath out of the mix, but if the pair can share the load the Huskers could be in for a handful. Horvath is considered to be the top fullback entering the 2022 NFL Draft.
The Boilermakers made a brief appearance into the AP Top 25 a couple weeks back at the No. 25 spot, only to fall to Wisconsin last week.
The Huskers and Boilermakers are set to kickoff at 2:30 PM at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on Saturday afternoon.
