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 …
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>
Nebraska's new uniforms
By now you've heard the biggest news to come out of the spring thus far: Nebraska is yielding to the overall trend for chameleonism on the gridiron and will wear a special, one-off jersey at some point next seasion. I like to think of myself as a sort of authority …
Time for a Reed Revival?
<font size="2">In the offseason, it's easy for fans to look over the roster, envision the best case scenario for a player and get really excited about what that player might produce on the field. Such was the buzz around Kyler Reed a year ago. It made sense given that Reed …
Three players worth watching this spring
It’s officially bigger, faster, stronger, smarter, better season. Across the country, every coach, when prodded, will tell you that every player is at least one of the above five things and usually a combination of two or more. What else are they going to say? This is particularly true of …
Spring Breakdown: Receivers and Tight Ends
Nebraska fans have earned the right to be skeptical when they hear that the Huskers have a “great receiving corps” returning. In NU’s run-heavy history, special pass catchers have been few and far between. You can name them on one hand. And the dropped balls from the 2011 season are …
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 …
Nebraska and the New Kickoff Rule
<span lang="EN">While it won't be official for at least another week and perhaps not at all, you might be wondering what the new kickoff rule (moving the kickoff five yards closer to the opposing team) might mean for the Huskers. Kicks taken at the goal line or inside the five-yard …
Tipping Points May Be Tipping NU's Way
<font size="2">This week may not go down as the most eventful in Nebraska history, but two seemingly minor things have happened that may help Nebraska in the long run. </font>
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 …
Mistakes Doom Huskers Against South Carolina
<font size="2">It wasn't clear whether Nebraska would be able to compete with a team like South Carolina. The good news for the Huskers was that they found that they could physically for most of the day. The bad news was that they still came up well short due to a …
The mercurial quarterback battle royale
Nebraska's Taylor Martinez and Michigan's Denard Robinson are two electrifying quarterbacks who have both, at times, been slowed by their inability to do the most traditional quarterback-y thing they're asked to do -- throw the ball. They've been tied at the hip in that regard, but the race is even …
The one game season
Bo Pelini teams love to find a wall to put their backs against. Michigan State is that wall. Beat back the Spartans and Nebraska earns the chance to hop over to the side where Indianapolis is still a possibility. Fall to MSU and Nebraska lives on the side where a …
Huskers Stomp Mudhole in Golden Gophers
Nebraska had its most dominant effort of the season taking a 34-0 halftime lead on its way to a 41-14 victory at Minnesota. NU scored on each of its first half drives which included a fumble return for a touchdown by defensive back Austin Cassidy.
Football at 7000 Feet
War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming is the highest division I FBS stadium at 7215 feet (2199 meters) above sea level. At this level, the effects of altitude are no longer negligible, even to elite athletes. Any amount of preparation in Lincoln will not be fully adequate with such a …
What We Know Now - Wyoming Edition
As far as press conferences go, that was good one. Nay, a great one. Bo Pelini kicked things off joking (and making his point) with the media, Kenny Bell came across as a really bright guy and Yoshi Hardrick became a fan favorite with his open willingness to talk. Here's …
What To Watch For Saturday Against Washington
Nebraska and Washington will face off for the third time in 12 months when they take the field at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on Saturday afternoon. Here are a few items and match ups to watch during this battle of 2-0 teams.
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 …
What To Watch For Saturday
Tens of thousands of Nebraska fans will be watching the Husker's annual spring game this Saturday. While it won't be on television, scads more will listen on the radio and digest every bit of information they can from news reports. What should the fans inside Memorial stadium direct their attention? Well, other …
Spring Is In The Air
Last April, the Red White game at Memorial Stadium was expected to be a showcase of quarterback backups and what the defense would do without Suh on the field. Instead, fans at the game caught a glimpse of speed that an option spread attack could provide. Led by Taylor Martinez …
A quick tour of the new Big Red Network
You may have noticed that things look different around here. We just launched a major redesign of our site that includes a whole truckload of new bells and whistles. Let me show you around.
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 …
Who'll Play Early?
One of the first questions people tend to ask about a new recruiting class, is which players will play next year? We know most players under Pelini redshirt. That's why we shouldn't expect to see the true freshmen offensive linemen. You'd say the same about the defensive linemen except that two …
Geography Matters
Geography is destiny. Where you are often dictates the outcomes in your life, whether you want to admit it or not. You geography affects everything - your economic opportunity, the medical health problems you may encounter in life, even things as small or as simple as your everyday mood. Where you …
2010 Nebraska Football Signing Day Coverage
Welcome to Signing Day, the ultimate guilty pleasure of the college football season. If this wasn't the last breaking news event (or first depending on how you want to look at it) of the season until spring practice starts the whole thing might seem a little misguided but it is so …
Kenny Bell Commits
Boulder wide receiver/defensive back prospect Kenny Bell gave his verbal commitment to Nebraska on Tuesday. On paper, he looks a great deal like cornerback Prince Amukamara. At 6'2" and 173 lbs., he could play on either side of the ball for the Huskers.
