It was good news that Armstrong appeared to be feeling well, Riley said, but he also acknowledged that would mean nothing until Armstrong was cleared by NU medical personnel.
“That’s what we have to wait for,” Riley said. “This is out of our hands, which is a good thing.”
Riley said he anticipated that Armstrong would not practice Tuesday, leaving fifth-year senior Ryker Fyfe to take the snaps with the No. 1 offense. Fyfe would make his second career start if Armstrong remains unavailable, with Zack Darlington becoming the backup.
“I’m really reluctant at this stage of the year to put Patrick O’Brien in that spot, just because I’d like to keep his redshirt if at all possible,” Riley said.
Although Riley would not speculate on when he thought Armstrong could potentially return, he put Thursday as the point where the Huskers would probably need to make a decision on whether he would be in position to play or not.
