What a game. Many positives, many negatives, but a win is a win.

The Kansas Nebraska Act (2006 Edition)
The Wichita Eagle looks at the way things were one year ago. Fans delirious with a rare victory over Nebraska were pouring out of the stands at Kansas, goal posts were being torn down. Even the scoreboard seemed to be taunting the Huskers. Were the lights always that bright? Or did it just seem that…
America’s Top Left Tackle Prospect Once Had No Prospects At All
Since a 56-0 blowout doesn’t leave us a whole lot to talk about, let’s move our focus to another football story. Michael Lewis, author of The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, put together a feature on Ole Miss left tackle, Michael Oher, that every football fan and every humanitarian will want to read. It’s…
Final: Nebraska 56 – Troy 0
An impressive offensive performance tonight by the Huskers and an outstanding showing by the Blackshirts. Troy was shut down and beat up the whole night. What’s up with Cody Glenn riding the bench?
87 To Get His
According to Lincoln Journal Star, Callahan is commited to establishing the run. The evidence was in last Saturday’s game plan at USC. Evidence can also be found in sophmore wide reciver Nate Swift’s numbers. Last season he caught 45 passes for 641 yards, setting a new team record for a frosh. Last week in Los…

USC 28 – Nebraska 10
I’m not sure of how to take the game at this point. Our corners showed their inexperience throughout the game, but it looked like Callahan made some changes at the half that showed results through the 3rd quarter (at least with the small screen from the tornado warning coverage). We had a HuskerZone contributor on…
Do the Huskers have a shot?
Even the Nebraska media have thrown in the towel and are handing USC the victory. Huskers Illustrated’s Sean Callahan was the closest to throwing the Homer towel by giving USC I believe a 10 point Trojan win (to the best of my recollection from 1620 The zone’s show Tuesday night). Should Husker fans be optimistic?…
USC Better Block Number 90 (If They Want A “W”)
Orange County Register takes a look at the Blackshirts and the threat they pose to USC’s green QB. Nebraska led the nation in sacks in 2005, and they would love to make USC quarterback John David Booty a tad uncomfortable in his second career start Saturday. They might have the right man for the job….
