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.

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.
