After starting his first seven games as a University of Washington football player, Ramzak Fruean will miss one, with the freshman edge rusher ruled out of Saturday night's game at Nebraska, according to the Big Ten availability report.

Also, quarterback Demond Williams Jr. turned up on the Wednesday night list as questionable, which could mean he will be replaced as the starter by Elijah Brown for the second consecutive game, though the Huskies will make that a game-time decision.

The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Fruean is dealing with a knee injury that he suffered in the recent Purdue game, one that prevented him from practicing during the bye week, UW coach Jedd Fisch said earlier in the week.

"It's either a game-time decision or a week away," Fisch said on Monday.

Fruean is one of five UW freshmen who have played their way into starting lineup and his absence will leave first-year defensive tackle Derek Colman-Brusa as the only first-year player who has been a first-teamer for every game.

Just 17, Fruean…
