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 …

Players Added on Signing Day Shouldn't Be Overshadowed by Those That Weren't

Former Nebraska head coach Bill Callahan was quoted after the decommitment of Josh Freeman (who instead went to Kansas State), "It’s been my experience that guys you have to continue to work on, and have a high-maintenance (manner) about themselves — a lot of those guys struggle throughout their careers. …

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> …

Five Candidates for a Breakout Season in 2010

About a week ago, I ran my usual off season talent test on the Husker roster, a simple exercise I call "Five Great Players." The results looked positive. Yesterday, the Big 12 media members more or less affirmed that audit of the Husker personnel, by naming four NU players to their …

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 …

A few questions only Saturday can answer

With the spring game approaching I'm just now starting to realize that there's not a whole lot new with this football team. Don't get me wrong, having so many returning starters is a very good thing but it does leave me wondering: Who are we dying to see on Saturday? Last …

Are Juco Offensive Lineman the Way to Go?

Nebraska goes into the 2010 season with a real possibility of starting two junior college offensive lineman. Ricky Henry will likely continue to start on the interior at either guard or center. Newcomer and early arrival Jermarcus Hardrick appears likely to be in immediate competition for a starting position at tackle. …

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 …

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 …

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, …

Recruiting waters get choppier as high profile recruits abandon ship

There is simply no good, level-headed way to talk about decommitments. Firefox's spellchecker doesn't even recognize the word and I wish I didn't have to. Their suggested spellings includes the word "overcommitment" which is perhaps the better word anyway. Both Curtis Carter and Tyler Gabbert, as was rumored as early as …

Closing the Deal

This week is about closing. Nebraska showed they can close out a game with the way the finished at Kansas. They needed to make some plays offensively and they did in a big way. Saturday's game will be no different. The division is seemingly on NU's racket. Hold serve at home …
