Nebraska's Armstrong expected to start regular-season finale

Nebraska expects to have starting quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. back under center this week, head coach Mike Riley told Brian Christopherson of the Lincoln Journal Star.

"I will reserve judgement for a couple days," Riley added as a caveat on Armstrong's status not being 100 percent. Armstrong hasn't gone full speed in practice this week.

Armstrong missed last week's game against Maryland with a hamstring injury, the first game he didn't dress for, or start, this season.

Ryker Fyfe replaced Armstrong, but he too suffered an injury, undergoing wrist surgery earlier this week. However, Riley confirmed he expects Fyfe to be available to play as well.
