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 …
Nebraska Offense Delivers Victory Over Washington
<font size="2">Going into the 2011 season, concerns surrounded Nebraska's offense while the defense seemed likely to be strong. For the second straight week though, it was Nebraska's offense that delivered victory as the defense struggled. Taylor Martinez accounted for 237 total yards and three touchdowns while Rex Burkhead rushed for …
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 …
Three Concerns for Nebraska Entering the 2011 Season
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. …
Huskers Loading Up on Linebackers?
There's been a fair amount of speculation about whether Nebraska would need to abandon the peso defense to handle some of the power rushing attacks in the Big Ten. If the Huskers were to go to a more traditional 4-3 defensive front, then perhaps the additional linebacker could help stuff …
Linebacker Depth Becoming an Issue
It has been a rather injury-filled preseason camp for Nebraska. Before yesterday, NU had lost four players thought to be contributors in 2010, including an offensive lineman (Mike Smith) a linebacker (Sean Fisher), a tight end (Dreu Young) and a cornerback (Anthony Blue). The list appears to have grown by one …
Fisher Injury Affects Depth of Young LB Squad
The majority of the off season discussions about the defense has centered on the defensive line stepping up to fill in Ndamukong Suh's void and the secondary's amazing athletic abilities. With the emergence of the Peso position, Linebackers were short a spot to compete for as the base set now includes …
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 …
Austin Cassidy Drawing Attention
When Husker fans count their blessings for their deep secondary, they rattle off a lot of names before they get to Austin Cassidy. But because of his body type, (he's listed at 6'1" and 210 lbs.) he's getting some attention as a good candidate to be the new hybrid linebacker/safety for …
Spring Themes: New Crop of Linebackers
With Nebraska's spring practices just days away, we're addressing the themes of this spring - the big picture items to be keeping track of as you sift through daily practice updates. I already addressed the burgeoning quarterback battle. Now, it is time to turn our attention to the defense. Everybody knows …
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 …
Depth Chart Observations
The coaching staff has released a depth chart for the Florida Atlantic game. The first glance at it confirms a few big picture items that many had already suspected - that we're going to see some freshmen playing on Saturday and that competition remains at many spots.
Leading Linebackers and Learning the Line
Two-a-day practices are wrapping up, and certain issues are starting to develop at Husker camp. Some, like the pecking order at linebacker, are getting a bit clearer. Others, like the competition along the offensive line, are a bit more cloudy (and concerning). Both units merit some discussion.
Mathew May: One to Watch
With practice for the 2009 season officially underway, fans all over the world are digging through reports to get any glimpse of what this year's Husker squad may look and play like. Who is ready to break out? What newcomers will emerge? There are many players to watch, from the very …
Who Will Rep the 308?
Unless you are from Nebraska the headline of this story likely doesn't make much sense. And, even if you hail from the Good Life, it is probably still a bit odd. Those folks who are lucky (or unlucky) enough to have watched a game with me know what it means. You …
