The Gophers hope to have safety Darius Travis and defensive linemen Scott Ekpe and Gaelin Elmore back from injury for Saturday's game against Nebraska, coach Jerry Kill said Tuesday.

But Kill said it's unlikely that they'll have offensive lineman Brian Bobek and Josh Campion or cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun back from their injuries.

The Gophers (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) have a two-game winning streak against Nebraska (2-4, 0-2), and this one is already close to being a sellout at TCF Bank Stadium.
