Nebraska running back Rex Burkhead sat out practice on Thursday while nursing an ankle injury.  But he is looking to return next week as the Huskers prepare to take on South Carolina in the Capital One Bowl. 

Burkhead is pivotal to the success of the Cornhuskers' against the stingy Gamecocks' defense, so you had better believe they will take things slow with him.
