Can a Team be Great Without (Much) NFL Talent?
<font size="2">The Omaha World-Herald's Sam McKewon recently shared some predictions for Husker players in the 2013 NFL draft. <font size="2">It doesn't make 2013 look like a banner draft year for Nebraska.

Turning the page to 2012
In case you missed it yesterday the Capital One Bowl went something like this: "Damn." Nebraska, probably the fourth best team in the Big Ten, didn't get pounded by (probably) the fourth best team in the SEC. That was the good news. The bad news was that the Huskers decided …

Nebraska's Special Teams Advantage

The Monday turnaround from a Saturday game is a quick one. There was a lot of rehashing from what the coaches and players were asked in the post-game but there were some bits of information in there. Here's the rundown:
The Good, the Bad and the Unknown
The highlight package from Nebraska’s 40-7 win over Chattanooga on ESPN’s College Football Final was a single long touchdown run from Taylor Martinez accompanied by Rece Davis saying “The Huskers took care of the Mocs.” Nationally, that was the neat and tidy story. Nothing to see here, the Huskers are …

What We Learn From the Depth Chart
<span lang="">The first football depth chart always provides some surprises. One takeaway is that it's fair to say that the walk-on program is still very much alive. Another is that the true freshman we've heard so much about on offense will indeed be in the mix. Finally, the number of …
What We Know Now

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. …
Five Great Players for 2011
Former Husker linebacker and Wisconsin head coach Barry Alvarez once shared his theory that to win a national championship you don't need 22 great players. You just need five and the rest just need to be really good. We've made it something of a tradition to look at Nebraska's roster …
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> …
A Walk-on and Walk-off
<font size="2">While it's the scholarship players that garner the most attention, key walk-ons have been a part of Nebraska football since before even I.M Hipp became a household name. When a quality walk-on comes to Nebraska, that can be a real plus and when one departs, that can hurt a …
Special Teams One Key to Spring
For good reason, much of the attention and scrutiny from media and Cornhusker fans during this year's NU spring drills has been placed on the offense. After all, that's where the Husker woes were last season, particularly as the season wore on. The offense is being overhauled under new Offensive Coordinator Tim …
No Pressure, Mr. Bondi
Nebraska has secured it's 18th pledge in their 2011 recruiting class. Kicker Mauro Bondi has said he will sign with the Huskers in February. No player in this 2011 class may face as much pressure as Bondi, both immediately and historically. Nebraska has serious unknowns as both kicker and punter …
Will the Punting Game Improve?
It’s hard to get excited when your own punt team takes the field. Aside from the rare fake, the occasional “running into the punter” penalty or a turnover by the receiving team, it’s usually a sad sight to behold. You’re giving your opponent the football and then maybe even seeing them …
