Scouting the Spring Game "Draft"
The spring game seldom has any stakes that should be meaningful to fans. Whether the red team or white team wins is of little consequence. Still, it's fun to see how or whether one team gets an advantage or not based on how the roster gets split up. So consider …
Strongest Offensive Line in Years?
The 2000 offensive line was one to remember. The interior featured Dominic Raiola, Toniu Fonoti, and Russ Hochstein. Raiola and Hochstein had All-American seasons and Fonoti was a All-Big 12 (attaining All-American status a year later). Since then, there have been a few standouts, but mostly an unspectacular group. For …
The Factory
Glancing through the Husker's roster of offensive linemen, a pattern begins to emerge involving redshirt players and walk ons. Before Tyler Moore decided to leave the program, he was only one of two players who did not redshirt in their first year of the program. The other, Andrew Rodriguez, will …
Twitter Blitz, Offensive Line Edition
With the departures of Ryan Klatchko and Tyler Moore this week, Barney Cotton and the entire offensive line are under a microscope. To start off with, Tyler Moore's father has been doing most of the talking with media, and the implications are clear, from @HuskerExtraBC Asked if it was from …
Line Play Biggest Question Mark Offensively
<font size="2">Nebraska returns a lot at of experience at the skill positions offensively. There are returning starters in the offensive backfield with Taylor Martinez and Rex Burkhead. The top two receiving options at tight end are back in Kyler Reed and Ben Cotton. Young but veteran receivers return in Kenny …
Depth and Health Way to Win Late Season
The summary of injury reports out of Lincoln this weekend read like the list of patients in a triage unit. With no scholarship guards on the trip to Penn State, and down to just a trio of defensive tackles taking snaps on Saturday, the depth in the trenches at the …
Three Concerns for Nebraska Entering the 2011 Season
Little more than a week remains before the start of the 2011 football season. Nebraska has wrapped their fall camp and will soon begin preparations for their first opponent. It's the right time to assess the potential pitfalls and problems that may plague NU if they don't get them fixed. …
Position Battle Buzz - Offense
With Bo Pelini's disdain for preseason depth charts, we won't likely know for sure who's playing where until Sept. 3. That said, through five days of camp we are starting to get a few clues as to how things are playing out so let's play the guessing game, starting with …
O-Line Depth Cause for Concern?
<font size="3">Among the bigger concerns for 2011, if not the top one, is Nebraska's offensive line. Already, the Huskers had to find two new starters at guard but also needed to develop some depth. Beginning fall practices without returning veteran Marcel Jones doesn't help. Normally, when you hear "day-to-day" in …
Handicapping the Spring Game
<span lang="">Since Bo Pelini returned to Nebraska, the spring game has become a competitive contest. By splitting the talent, Nebraska's head coach has kept things from becoming too one-sided. Even so, it's often been clear which team had an advantage. This season's contest might be the toughest to call yet.</span> …
Finding the Right Guard (and the Left)
<span lang="">Guard play will be a hot topic around the country in the coming weeks, but it will be completely unrelated to football. In Nebraska, with spring football practices beginning soon the Huskers need to identify two new starting guards and two second stringers so the guard talk will be quite different …
Underclassmen Make Strides to Impact Team
So it's apparently never too early for 2011 draft talk, as SI's Andrew Perloff and ESPN's Todd McShay have decided. With McShay believing that Jared Crick will be leaving early as a Junior next year. Looking at Nebraska's roster, there are 25 seniors and 24 juniors on the roster this year, …
The Real Class of 2010
While much of the focus these past few weeks has been on the players who were new to the team this year. It makes sense. Once the season's over fans naturally focus on what's next. But the newest signees aren't the only thing new for the 2010 Huskers. What's also new …
Red-Colored Glasses
Every team in Division I has reason to doubt their team's chances at a national championship. Even a team like Florida this past year with so much returning from a national championship squad came up short. But sometimes as a fan, you want to tune out those doubts. You want to …
Offseason Roster Shakeups Begin
The good news was that Nebraska landed a highly rated junior college recruit at midyear in former LSU commit Jermarcus Hardrick. While a redshirt is possible, the rumblings seem to be that they will preparing him to start in 2010. For those who blame the 2009 offensive woes on the o-line, …
Offensive Line a Top Priority for 2010 Recruiting Class
Editor's Note: Also check out our running coverage of the 2010 Signing Day. While there are many theories about what lead to the end of Frank Solich era, my view has been that the Huskers fell into offensive line hell, which stifled the offense and overburdened the defense. The result was …

Brent Qvale Makes Eleven
Another day, another commitment from a three-star offensive lineman that goes 6'7". The Huskers have made it look easy to find offensive lineman that go 6'5" or taller. But scan some Division I depth charts and you realize that there are a lot of good teams that can't claim an offensive …
