Regaining Lineman Credentials
<font size="2">There was a time when Nebraska's ability to produce great linemen seemed unparalleled. In only six of Tom Osborne's 25 seasons as head coach at NU did the Huskers fail to produce an All-American on the offensive line. He produced at least one first team all-conference offensive lineman every …
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 …
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. …
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> …
Huskers Enter Spring Ball Healthy and Ready
Spring football is a critical time for player development. Coaches get a small window of time to help players learn and apply techniques, fundamentals and schemes on the practice field. It's also a time when players are often moved to other positions, in an effort to get them ramped up …
In Defense of Watson and Martinez
<font size="2">Two people have gotten more of the blame for the outcome of the Big 12 Championship from Joe the fan than anyone else - Shawn Watson and Taylor Martinez. It's my nature to be contrary, I suppose. I despise only hearing one side of the story. So while I'm …
Comedy of Errors Dooms Nebraska Against Texas
<font size="2">You never have to recover from a good start, the old adage goes. The converse of that, of course is that it can be difficult to recover from a bad start. And the Huskers came out very badly against Texas. The officials had an off second-half themselves.</font> …
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 …
Offseason Roster Shakeups Begin
The good news was that Nebraska landed a highly rated junior college recruit at midyear in former LSU commit Jermarcus Hardrick. While a redshirt is possible, the rumblings seem to be that they will preparing him to start in 2010. For those who blame the 2009 offensive woes on the o-line, …
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 …
Offensive Line a Top Priority for 2010 Recruiting Class
Editor's Note: Also check out our running coverage of the 2010 Signing Day. While there are many theories about what lead to the end of Frank Solich era, my view has been that the Huskers fell into offensive line hell, which stifled the offense and overburdened the defense. The result was …

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 …
Recruiting Credibility
With the additions to the Husker's 2009 recruiting class – most recently offensive lineman Jeremiah Sirles – NU appears to be gaining more momentum in recruiting. Just as I try to evaluate players on more credible material than just star ratings (like production and the level of competition) I find myself …
Jeremiah Sirles on the Radar
In college football “OT� is usually an abbreviation for offensive tackle. But if you look at Husker recruits at the position in recent years, it might stand for “oak tree�. Case in point - current recruit Jeremiah Sirles.
