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 …
Will NU's Front Four be Special?
<font size="2">It's hard to recall many defenses that have been outstanding without a good front four. Teams that can create pressure on a quarterback without blitzing have a clear numbers advantage in coverage. As long as that front is also sound in their run responsibilities, then the recipe is there …
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. …
Handicapping the Spring Game
<span lang="">Since Bo Pelini returned to Nebraska, the spring game has become a competitive contest. By splitting the talent, Nebraska's head coach has kept things from becoming too one-sided. Even so, it's often been clear which team had an advantage. This season's contest might be the toughest to call yet.</span> …
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 …
Bowl Week Buzz
It is game week for the last time of the season for the Huskers. Bowl week is always filled with the interesting possibilities of who is staying versus who might be going to the NFL draft. Injuries have had time to heal with the extra weeks of practice and rest …
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 …
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 …
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 Add Two Recruits
This week, Nebraska added verbal commitments from two high-school football recruits. Jesse Coffey, an offensive lineman from Guyman Texas, and Emerson Evans, a defensive end from Houston, both verbally pledged to be a part of NU's 2009 recruiting class. With these two pledges coming on the heals of quarterback recruit Cody …
Recruiting Rerun?
As things came apart for Nebraska under Frank Solich, fans generally pointed to recruiting as being a major problem driving the team's "gravitation to mediocrity". While last season's recruiting class ranked higher than most of Solich's, a lot of the players were recruited initially by Bill Callahan's staff. The upcoming class …
Defensive Tackle Commits to Huskers
Nebraska added a third member to their 2009 recruiting class this week, getting a verbal commitment from Thaddeus Randle out of Houston. This defensive tackle prospect gave his verbal pledge to NU over Oklahoma State and Texas A&M, among others. There are some good reasons to be excited about this prospective …
