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 …
Finding the Silver Lining
<font size="2">When Nebraska learned that its bowl opponent would be South Carolina, there was some mixed emotion. As nice as it would feel to beat a quality opponent, the prospect of ending another season with four losses is hardly appealing. The Gamecocks' running quarterback plays right to Nebraska's weakness. Their …
O-Line Depth Cause for Concern?
<font size="3">Among the bigger concerns for 2011, if not the top one, is Nebraska's offensive line. Already, the Huskers had to find two new starters at guard but also needed to develop some depth. Beginning fall practices without returning veteran Marcel Jones doesn't help. Normally, when you hear "day-to-day" in …
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> …
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 …
Arrivals, Departures and Position Switches Underscore Spring's Importance
Believe it or not, Husker fans, football is just a few weeks away. Well, spring football, anyway. Nebraska's spring practices start on March 24th. While most of the attention thus far has been placed on the opportunity for a budding competition at quarterback, there are other little items that might prove …
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 …
2009 Signing Class - Initial Reaction
The ink is dry on the letters of intent, and the Nebraska roster is heavier by 20 players today. There was a little bit the typical signing-day drama. But, for the most part, things went according to plan.Here are my initial thoughts and reactions to the class, now that it is …
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 …
When Blackshirts Were Blackshirts: Danny Noonan
A great nose tackle (or in the 5-2 defense, a great “middle guardâ€?) collapses the pocket, and Danny Noonan just destroyed it. With the quickness to start as a defensive end at the pro level, the Lincoln Northeast graduate was as physically powerful as they come. Not only did the guy …
C.J. Zimmerer Commits to Nebraska
Nebraska received a verbal commitment from Omaha Gross fullback C.J. Zimmerer for the class of 2009. The 6'1'' 215 pound fullback becomes the fourth player to commit to NU for this class, the first on the offensive side of the ball. NU coach Bo Pelini and his staff may trying to …
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 …
Chaos Theory
Chaos theory tells us the flutter of a butterfly's wings in one part of the world could cause a Hurricane a thousand miles away. That is, the cumulative effect of many small tipping points can ultimately be the difference between a mild storm off the coast and a massive event. Similarly, …
Safety Decommits, Lineman Commits
Safety prospect Keelan Johnson of Arizona decommitted from Nebraska in order to stay closer to home and attend Arizona State. It probably didn't hurt that the Sun Devils are coming off a ten win season that some believed was worthy of a BCS bowl bid (though ASU lost to Texas in …
