Nebraska once again will be without its No. 1 placekicker this weekend.
Husker head coach Matt Rhule said Thursday that sophomore Tristan Alvano will not play Saturday against Indiana. John Hohl has handled field goals and extra points in the absence of Alvano, who has played sparingly this season after suffering an offseason groin injury.
Another injured Husker starter, however, will make the trip to Bloomington. Whether cornerback Tommi Hill plays against the Hoosiers will be a game-time decision, Rhule said.
