Fixing Nebraska's Cornerback Issues
For Nebraska, the 2011 season and 2012 recruiting class can be defined by one position - cornerback. Forget quarterback play. Forget the need for additional linebackers. The Husker's fortunes have risen and fallen with their corners. A "Bo Pelini Defense" needs great cornerback play, something that was missing for large …
What We Know Now
As far as game week press conferences for an FCS opponent go, Monday's season opener was a fairly good one. The coaches were a little more upfront on depth chart questions and all in all there were some illuminating bits. Here's a recap:
Not to Speak Ill of the Departed...
Aaryn Bouzos is the latest decommit (if reports are accurate) from Nebraska's recruiting class of 2011. He reportedly chose Air Force over Nebraska, who had apparently cooled its recruitment of the player. Any Air Force cadet deserves enormous respect. Not only is the Air Force an essential part of our …
Bo's Best Defense?
In the past two seasons, Nebraska fans have been treated to two tremendous defenses. In 2009, it was led by Ndamukong Suh and a front four that collapsed the pocket quickly, ending plays before they could begin. In 2010, it was a secondary that made completing passes seem downright futile. …
Nebraska Adds Another Four-Star Lineman
One of the critical needs this recruiting season (or perhaps "the" critical need) was to restock depth along the offensive line. Nebraska is set to lose five seniors (four of whom have been starters) after the 2010 season. They'll also lose three more of their top linemen in 2011. Only a …
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 …
Almost All the Bases Are Covered
A few weeks ago, I used the analogy of Linebackers stepping up to fill in gaps to try and figure out where Coach Pelini might try and plug future holes with his recruiting. What I found were that the top three needs in the future (not necessarily this year) were likely …
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 …
2010 Signing Day Won't Lack Drama
Editor's Note: Also check out our running coverage of the 2010 Signing Day. It was sure there would be something to talk about this week, when rumors came out that Brion Carnes committed to Western Kentucky. Then within 24 hours we learned that he remained undecided. Linebacker Lavonte David, seemingly committed …
Coveting Carnes: Why NU Needs a QB Recruit
Nebraska's recruiting class has three big prospects on the board. Though, to listen to most of the fan base, you would think two were a much higher priority than the third. And, while the idea of Nebraska signing defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa and safety Corey Cooper is very exciting to fans …
Should the Coaches Have Known Nebraska Would Be So Good?
Odd question, especially when you're talking about Bo Pelini. He doesn't lack confidence nor does he seem unwilling to place high expectations on his team (Nebraska's back and the defense will be five times better next year, he'll tell you). Yet, as you look at these final weeks of recruiting, you …
Braylon Heard Pledges to Nebraska
This weekend, running back Braylon Heard became the newest prospective member of the Nebraska 2010 recruiting class. The Youngstown, Ohio product switched his verbal commitment from West Virginia when he chose Nebraska. Heard's choice to join the Huskers has implications for Coach Bo Pelini's team on the field as well as …
