Seisay Signs Letter of Intent
<font size="2">It came as little surprise that one day after Mohammed Seisay announced that he would come to Nebraska that he signed his letter of intent. Still, given how often signing day defections can occur, Husker fans have to be pleased that he inked his name. It's hard to underestimate …
Making Stars
<font size="2">Early in Bo Pelini's tenure as head coach at Nebraska, he was asked about recruiting rankings and boldy predicted, "We'll make our own stars". Three seasons later he's made good on that promise. Just look at the recent NFL draft. </font>
Go Big Redskins
<font size="2">Like probably most Husker fans, I also follow pro football (but not nearly with the same fervor or passion). The team I've been cursed over the last fifteen years to call my favorite is the Redskins. If you ask why I say "cursed", just look at their performance over …
Who's Next?
The big question for Husker fans going into Thursday night's draft was simply where would Prince Amukamara be taken. While falling to #19 may have hurt his pocketbook, he's in a great position playing behind a good defensive line and being on a team with a quality quarterback. But the …
Nine Former Huskers Set to Perform at NFL Combine
Nine former Nebraska Cornhuskers will attempt to showcase their talent and ability at the annual NFL Scouting Combine, beginning this weekend. The Husker contingent is one of the largest and most diverse groups from any university in the country. While their body of work on the field is likely more important …
All-Big 12 Selections Tell a Larger Story
The Big 12 announced it's all-conference team and it's annual award winners. Nebraska players hauled in a number of accolades - the most in more than a decade. These awards are another solid indicator that NU is indeed on an upswing as a program. They also underscore the reputation that coach …
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 …
How to Roast a Buffalo
<font size="2">After two uninspiring offensive performances, Nebraska needs to find a way to score enough points to beat a resurging Colorado team in Lincoln. At stake is a division championship for NU and a bowl bid for CU. The Huskers are more than two touchdown favorites, which is a bit …
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 …
Huskers Roll Despite Sloppy Effort
<font size="3">It was a bit concerning when the first quarter ended with the Huskers leading by a mere three points. Sure, Nebraska was moving the ball against Idaho, but penalties and a red zone turnover kept the Vandals in the game. By halftime though, the Huskers exploded for 28 more …
Rumors of the Blackshirts' demise have been greatly exaggerated
While Taylor "Tatts" Martinez--I promise you I'll never call him T-Magic--dazzled everyone wearing red on Saturday with his feats and feet of Crouchian proportions, the new "5X Improved!" Blackshirts seemed to get a collective "meh" from most. Where was the ferocious, throat-ripping attack dog of a defense we remembered from …
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 …
Questions that Matter: How Will NU Replace the Middle of its Defense?
Season preview articles typically include a run down of the depth chart or a listing of key contributors. Often, they take the form of a unit-by-unit review of the team (Headline: NU is deep at cornerback!). At Big Red Network we get tired of reading that kind of thing. We suspect …
Updated Roster Provides New Information
Fans never get to know everything that people in the Athletic Department do, and that's probably a good thing. But from time to time, they tip their hand a bit and provide some new insights on the team. When Huskers.com updated their bios and roster, it gave some clues about some …
Five Candidates for a Breakout Season in 2010
About a week ago, I ran my usual off season talent test on the Husker roster, a simple exercise I call "Five Great Players." The results looked positive. Yesterday, the Big 12 media members more or less affirmed that audit of the Husker personnel, by naming four NU players to their …
NFL Draft Illustrates NU's 2010 Needs on Defense
The NFL draft provided Husker fans reason to celebrate. They could cheer for three former players getting a chance to make a very good living playing the game. At the same time, those young men entering the NFL stage means they exit the NU program and leave the Huskers major holes …
The Different Goals of 2010
We all have our own ideas of what we want from this year's Husker football team. Some are reasonable expectations, some are not. But expectations and goals are different. Expectation is all about looking at the current situation and seeing a bright future. For the Nebraska football program, the next few …
Defensive Star Search
In a way, Ndamukong Suh probably kept Nebraska from getting as much credit as they deserved as a defensive unit. That's not a slight towards anyone, he was just that dominant. Suh was Bob Dylan and the rest of the Blackshirts were The Band. Of course The Band ended up making …
How 2010 Resembles 1994
When making predictions about the future, it's often helpful to look to the past for guidance. When circumstances were similar, how did things play out? Interestingly, when looking for a season in which Nebraska returned an all-conference defensive tackle and an all-conference cornerback, you have to go back to the 1994 …
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 …
Relive '09 in less than 10 minutes
You're starting to feel it, aren't you? The long languor of the off-season is starting to set in. The next 10 minutes should help.
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 …
Closing the Deal
This week is about closing. Nebraska showed they can close out a game with the way the finished at Kansas. They needed to make some plays offensively and they did in a big way. Saturday's game will be no different. The division is seemingly on NU's racket. Hold serve at home …
Kansas Post-Mortem
I've got to admit, this was a week that had me both apathetic and worried at the same time. After such an emotional game last week, I wondered how our team would be able to respond to a team that many consider to be underachieving. Kansas has the pieces and the …
Nebraska and KU Provide Offense
The Huskers had gone four straight weeks with 13 offensive points or less. NU averaged less than 240 yards in the last five games. Kansas has had their own struggles as they averaged under 290 yards in their last three games and had at least 3 turnovers in each of the …
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 …
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 …
Secondary Is Primary To Success
For anyone who doubts the importance of a great secondary to the winning percentage of your team, I ask you to look no further than the Bill Callahan years filled with 20+ yard plays given up. How many times can a fan see the opponent running on the wrong side of …
Gomes Recruitment Telling
Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini and his staff have shown a clear preference for high school talent over junior college players. In the abbreviated recruiting season of 2008 none of the 16 new players that Pelini's staff recruited came from junior colleges. This signing day, only two players out of twenty-one …
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.
2009 Nebraska Football Signing Day Coverage
Welcome to Signing Day, Nebraska fans. Today, prospective Huskers can make their commitment to NU real by signing (and faxing) their Letters of Intent to the athletic office. I'll be tracking the commitments as they roll in today, and updating this post and the site periodically during the day with thoughts …
Huskers Seeking Corners, Winners
This week in Husker recruiting proves that the Huskers are definitely in the market for defensive backs. The recent commitments from cornerbacks Lazarri Middleton and Dejon Gomes makes five of NU's 20 verbal commitments defensive backs. This makes sense in the pass-happy Big 12 conference. Middleton and Gomes also fit a …
