Is the Era of the Two-Sport College Athlete Coming to an End?
<font size="2">Khiry Cooper is said to no longer be with the Nebraska football team, yet the door remains open for a return. After being a fifth-round baseball draft pick out of high school, Cooper hasn't had a lot of success at the plate in college. Bo Jackson once had tremendous …
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 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 …
Let's Hope Bubba Starling Sticks with Big Red
Every article written about Bubba Starling so far points out one of two things, what an incredible all-around athlete this guys is, or if he's the next Carl Crawford. Carl Crawford is a Tampa Bay Devil Ray who originally signed on as an option QB in 1999 with the Huskers before …
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, …
Players You Won't See Saturday
A team usually likes to make it through spring practice without having to worry about injury, but that's usually just a pipe dream. The roster for this weekend will probably be published today or tomorrow with a full list of who's wearing red and who's wearing white, but it probably won't …
The Weekly Buzz
This week is all about seeing whether all the talk brought on by coaches will be backed up. They have consistently said that they are looking at every position on the field for potential changes. A freshman will probably get the nod, but it's not apparently the one everyone's hoping for. …
Notable Quotes from Nebraska vs Texas Tech
There is much to discuss about Saturday's loss to Texas Tech; play calling, lack of discipline, competition at quarterback. Here is what the players, coaches and media had to say on those topics and more.
Nebraska Offense Sputters in Loss to Texas Tech
The Nebraska offense generated just 10 points (and surrendered a critical first-half turnover) as the Huskers lost to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 31-10 in Lincoln. While much of the hype and discussion entering the game centered on #15 Nebraska and a defense led by Ndamukong Suh, it was the Texas …
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 …
Can Receiver Production Match 2008
With all this attention placed on the Running backs the last few days, I have been forcing my mind to the Wide Receivers group the whole time. Not to minimalize the issue, but I'd like to keep focusing on the football that's going to be played in less than two weeks, …
Missing Swift: Who Will Field Punts in 2009?
Every pre-season prognostication on the magazine racks right now talks about the lost production that Nebraska must replace at wide receiver. Many of those suddenly missing receptions and yards came from Nate Swift. Swift's departure hurts more than the loss of his fellow key wide receiver Todd Peterson because Swift also …
What to Make of Mendoza
Among the big stories in the opening days of Spring practice has been the move of Marcus Mendoza from running back to wide receiver. For many fans, this was a welcome change. If you hadn't already thought of it yourself, it's likely you'd heard it suggested before. Quite simply, he's a …
The Difference Between 5-7 & 9-4 Part 3 - Special Teams
Assessing improvements or regressions in special teams play on a yearly basis is a difficult task, perhaps raising more questions than it answers. Are the differences from one season to the next the result of a serious sea change in philosophy or just your average statistical variance? Do the statistics that …
Arrivals and Departures
It is the time of year when it is worth keeping your eye on the door. At Nebraska and around the country players and coaches are coming and going almost by the minute. Coaching changes, players choosing to go to the NFL or not, players transferring or leaving the team, and …
Things to Be Thankful For
It's Thanksgiving. You're probably not supposed to be on the Internet right now, much less at a Cornhusker blog, day before a game or not. This is a day for family and turkey drippings. You should probably get back to that. But me? I'm boycotting turkey this year. That Virginia Tech …
Khiry Cooper Officially A Husker
The baseball signing deadline passed, and Khiry Cooper did not sign a contract. He's officially a Husker. News out of the LA Times condensed it into such a simple paragraph: The Angels were unable to sign two of their top five selections from the June draft before Friday night's deadline, losing …
Your NCAA Football 09 Nebraska Cornhuskers
http://bigrednetwork.com/archives/images/2008/07/ncaafootball09_cover360_300.jpg Relatively speaking, I'm an old fashioned guy: I still own an iPod that's just an iPod, my cell phone is only used for calling people and when I pick up EA Sports "NCAA Football 09" it will be the PS2 version and I'll be playing it on a cathode ray …
Khiry Cooper - Carl Crawford or Darin Erstad?
Every once in a while, an athlete is lucky enough to be gifted in multiple sports. Unless they are a truly rare and special talent (see Jackson, Bo), they more often than not end up picking one for their professional career. This brings us to the case of Khiry Cooper, an …
Position Breakdowns: Wide Receivers
Outlook: The Huskers lost a lot of production to graduation with the departures of Maurice Purify, Terrence Nunn, Frantz Hardy, and Dan Erickson. But seniors Nate Swift and Todd Peterson each have plenty of experience. How well the inexperienced youngsters perform will determine whether this group is simply adequate or explosive. …
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 …
Khiry Cooper Commits To NU
Nebraska added another verbal commitment to its incoming class today, collecting a pledge from Khiry Cooper, a 6'2'' wide receiver prospect from Louisiana. The news is good for NU in a couple of sports, and a testament to the recruiting efforts of Ron Brown.
Two Receivers to Visit Over Final Recruiting Weekend
The Huskers final recruiting weekend appears likely to include two visitors (though the status of these things can change hourly). Nebraska will host two three-star wide receivers in Louisiana's Khiry Cooper and Miami's Kendal Thompkins.
More Recruits to Visit
The Huskers appear set to host a dozen or more recruits in the next few days. Scout.com reports that Nebraska will host 12 recruits this weekend. This includes committed players five-star Lincoln offensive lineman Baker Steinkuhler, three-star linebacker Kyler Reed of Kansas, and Ricky Henry who will likely attend Nebraska if …
