Phil Steele's Preseason All Conference Picks
As far as preseason selection go, guessing which players will garner the top honors by the end of the year may be the toughest picks. Phil Steele is known for his methodical predictions and meticulous statistics of teams and their final standings. Selecting preseason all conference teams can only be …
Huskers Add Texas Defensive End Commit
<font size="2">So much for all that talk about Nebraska no longer being able to recruit in the state of Texas after leaving the Big 12. Last year the Huskers signed two players from the state. And now the sixth commitment for the class of 2013 also comes from Texas. Christian …
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. It raises the question, if NU is lacking high draft picks, what might that suggest about the prospects for …
Handicapping the Spring Game
<font size="2">The Nebraska Athletic Department has released the rosters for the Spring game. <font size="2">Based on what we see, which team has the edge?</font></font>
In Need of a Defensive Line
When Bo Pelini arrived at Nebraska, there was talent he was able to develop and utilize on the defensive line. Those who played a secondary role were tough and consistent. In 2008, Zack Potter was nearly an all conference player, as was Barry Turner in 2009. Pierre Allen was an …
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 …
Battling Wisconsin's Big Boys
Wisconsin has an excellent offense. They lead the Big Ten in total offense and scoring offense. Watching them, it is easy to notice that they have two great running backs - Montee Ball and James White. Their highly-regarded transfer quarterback, Russell Wilson, has been every bit as good as advertised. Wide receiver …
What We Know Now - Fresno St. edition
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:
Huskers Top Chattanooga, 40-7
Taylor Martinez rushed for 135 yards and three touchdowns and added 116 yards passing to help lead Nebraska past FCS division foe Chattanooga, 40-7. First-time starter Brett Maher booted four field goals and defensive end Cameron Meredith had two sacks and an interception to power the Huskers past the Mocs. …
Position Battle Buzz - Defense
There's no actual depth chart on the horizon so lets take a couple of minutes for round two of the annual August parlor game: Guessing the depth chart. We won't know anything for sure until Sept. 3 but here's my take on what's happened so far this fall. …
Many Huskers Worth Watching
Preseason watch lists are curious things. In one sense, they offer little value because the game outcomes and player production for a season mean much more than any preseason hype. But, college football is an odd sport in that preseason perception does play a part in the eventual outcome. Like it or …
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 …
Few Fan Concerns
In the springtime, there is little to discuss about the Fall prospects of the Huskers. Besides the glorified practice of the annual Red-White game, reports out of scrimmages and information gleaned from the odd press conference or two are the only sources. But discuss fans do, and the main concerns …
Spring Injuries, Auditions
I guess I spoke too soon when I reported that Nebraska was entering spring football with few injuries and minor position changes. The last week has seen a bit of both for NU. On the injury front, Jared Crick sprained his knee and will miss spring drills. Now, word has …
Huskers Enter Spring Ball Healthy and Ready
Spring football is a critical time for player development. Coaches get a small window of time to help players learn and apply techniques, fundamentals and schemes on the practice field. It's also a time when players are often moved to other positions, in an effort to get them ramped up …
2011 Defensive Line Could Be Memorable
If there's one component of your football team that you'd like to see be strong, it's the defensive line. It's hard to remember seeing a bad defense with a dominant defensive line. It's comparable to starting pitching in baseball. It keeps you in every game. And Nebraska appears to have …
Crick's Return Should Continue Dominating Defense
Bo and Carl Pelini have had a penchant developing great defensive linemen into 1st round draftworthy NFL linemen. From Bo mentoring Tyson Jackson and Glenn Dorsey to Carl's development of Ndamukong Suh (and now likely Jared Crick), the Pelini brothers are going to be known for their ability to churn …
Bo's Best Defense?
In the past two seasons, Nebraska fans have been treated to two tremendous defenses. In 2009, it was led by Ndamukong Suh and a front four that collapsed the pocket quickly, ending plays before they could begin. In 2010, it was a secondary that made completing passes seem downright futile. …
Nebraska Pounds Colorado to Win Big 12 North Division
<font size="2">Going into a game that Nebraska desperately needed, the question was how would the Huskers generate offense. If you asked most NU fans, the name Rex Burkhead would have been a common answer. Burkhead started strong to stake the Big Red to a 17-3 halftime lead, rushing for one …
Demorrio Williams the Hybrid Template for Lavonte David
Bo Pelini's stint as the Husker's defensive coordinator in 2003 did more than just endear the coach to the state of Nebraska, it gave him the opportunity to work with one of the schools most dynamic linebackers in recent history. Under the tutelage of Pelini, Demorrio Williams was able to …
Taylor Martinez Starts as Huskers Top Hilltoppers
<font size="2">When Bo Pelini said this week that he'd decline to name a starting quarterback to avoid a "media circus" it seemed a bit of a clue. After all, if returning starter Zac Lee were named the top QB, why would there be any hysteria? It took just three plays …
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, …
Recruiting to Fill in the Gaps
When Nebraska's 4-3 defense faces a running play, our linebackers have to be aware of whose job it is to step up and fill in any gap opened by the opponent's offensive line. Fortunately for players, they usually only have to think about the gaps one play at a time, they're …
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 …
Will it be a Happy New Year for Nebraska?
Coming off a big win in the Holiday bowl and a good game for Lee, you can begin to imagine a much better year for the Husker offense in 2010. Not to mention the ten returning starters for Nebraska on offense. Add to that the news that Lee has been playing …
Can Nebraska become the new D-Line U?
Of all the good things to come out of the win over Oklahoma last Saturday, none of them may have been better than this quote from recruit Jay Guy: "I don't know if you watched the game, but the Nebraska defensive line is ridiculous. I think Nebraska can take me to …
Notable Quotes from Nebraska vs Missouri
There is much to be said about Nebraska's improbable fourth quarter come back at Missouri. For now, let's see what the players, coaches and national media said after the game.
Will Recent Recruits Silence the Naysayers?
In recent weeks and months there's been a lot of chatter that Nebraska was "behind" in recruiting due to the relatively small number of commitments to NU and the many commitments to programs like Texas. The clamor rose to almost outright panic by some factions of Husker fans with the decommitments …
Will the Sacks Keep Coming?
A notable statistic from Nebraska's four-game winning streak to close the 2008 season was that they tallied nineteen sacks. At that pace, the Huskers would tally more than sixty over a thirteen or fourteen game season. That would put the Huskers on a pace to eclipse the 53 sacks they managed …
Who are these four to five true freshmen you speak of, Bo?
It's always nice to be reminded of how little Bo Pelini likes press conferences. Short, curt answers that make no effort to disguise their disgust not just with the question (generally speaking) but the process itself are almost always the flavor of the day and that was no different during Nebraska's …
Defensive End Depth?
The spring practice period opened with so many questions for NU. Who would be the quarterback? Who would step up at wide receiver? Who would emerge in the competition in the defensive backfield? What about the departing right side of the offensive line? So far, coaching choices and reports from the …
Will We See Martin?
Probably nothing is more pressing for the Husker football coaches this Spring than to develop and identify a two-deep roster of capable defensive linemen. We know a healthy Ndamukong Suh, Pierre Allen, and Barry Turner will likely start or at least be featured heavily in the defensive line rotation. Add the …
Turner's Return Key For Husker D
There are several stories worth following as we navigate through spring and summer - day by day, inch by inch - until the 2009 Husker football season. The one I'll likely follow the most closely is the return of defensive end Barry Turner to the NU defensive lineup. Aside from Ndamukong …
Roster Ramblings for 2009
This week, the University of Nebraska released its updated football roster for 2009. While the actual task of building and releasing the roster feels like administrivia...the content is actually the best gateway to start digging in to what the 2009 Huskers may look like. My initial review of the new roster …
Brandon Kinnie Most Likely to See Time
One of the favorite games of fans right after signing day, is “who will see early playing time�? While you'd expect at least a handful of players from this class to contribute in 2009, the top candidate is probably junior college wide receiver Brandon Kinnie.
Noteable Quotes from Nebraska vs New Mexico State
http://bigrednetwork.com/archives/images/2008/09/bo.jpg By now you have probably checked the boxscore and read the recaps. Now take a closer look at what the Nebraska and New Mexico State players and coaches said after the game. Here they are. In their own words.
Position Breakdowns: Defensive End
Outlook: The Huskers have good starting options but not much depth at defensive end. That will be particularly concerning in 2009 when three seniors will have graduated.
Williams Puts Pelini in Tough Spot
Defensive end recruit Josh Williams alleged theft and assault puts defensive coordinator Bo Pelini in a difficult position. It seems almost a rite of passage as an NU head coach to deal with a recruit that gets in legal trouble before ever arriving on campus. Frank Solich had Josh Davis. Bill …
The Class of 2008 Comes Together
The Huskers recruiting class of 2008 might be remembered as much for whom it didn't include as for who it did. Among the decommits were five-star quarterback Blaine Gabbert, four-star running back Jonas Gray, four-star offensive linemen Trevor Robinson, Bryce Givens, and Dan Hoch, four-star linebacker Shaun Mohler, and five-star defensive …
Recruiting Update
Now that the Huskers have a head coach, it will become easier to understand which recruits still want to come to Lincoln and which will look elsewhere. Sure, there's a ton of re-recruiting to be done of the kids who had committed to Bill Callahan, but with a lot less uncertainty …
Reiff Comes Aboard
Perhaps lost in all the excitement/heartbreak of the Missouri contest was the commitment by prep defensive end Riley Reiff to Nebraska. His 6'6â€?frame means he can add a lot of weight to become a prototypical defensive end. You'd expect him to redshirt and perhaps need an additional year to round out …
Pipe Down Back There
No Husker fan walked away happy with what they saw against USC Saturday night. The Huskers could neither run the ball nor stop the run – two pretty big keys to winning football games. But the Huskers were facing the top-ranked team in the country. How did Florida look against Nebraska …
Cameron Meredith Commits
These days, Husker fans don't get excited by three-star prospects that often. But defensive end recruit Cameron Meredith is a commit that's worth celebrating.
