Nebraska coach Bo Pelini announced Wednesday that the Huskers will go without Thomas Lawson at fullback for Saturday's matchup with New Mexico State.
Lawson, a senior from Parker, Colo., had his appendix removed, according to a story in the Omaha World-Herald. He is expected to be sidelined for about a week, according to Pelini.
The World-Herald did report that Lydon Murtha, who has been out with an infection in his leg, will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's non-conference matchup.
