If Internet traffic is any indication, it appears that the seeds of another Fire Bill Callahan movement are afoot. In the 48 hours since the loss to Oklahoma State, site traffic to Huskerzone.com – as driven by the search engines – has exploded, fueled by the search phrase “Fire Bill Callahan.” We’ve started our own…

Cosgrove is a Tool
From the Omaha World Herald: NU defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove said the Huskers were caught between wanting to double-cover Bowman and Woods and committing enough defenders to stop the run. “You pick your poison,” Cosgrove said. “They just did a good job timing things. “We talked about needing to dominate up front and needing to…
Final: Oklahoma State 41 – Nebraska 29
No adjustments, no accountability, no ability to defend the pass. With the way Nebraska played the final three quarters today, a 6-6 season comes into the realm of possibility. 1 comment on an old post from Quentin in the minutes after the game went final might be foreshadowing a past theme: Fire Bill CaLLLahan. “I…
Aaaarrgghhh! So Close.
Final: Texas 22 – Nebraska 20. Take away the second quarter and the Husker’s stuck it to the Longhorns. This is also the first Callahan-era game I can remember where Nebraska actually made some half-time adjustments that worked. Damn turnovers – all of them. Momentum killers. Let’s hope there is a rematch because that will…
Go Big Red

It’s not every day a program as rich in tradition as Nebraska is in search of attention or validation. But the once-proud program, which became only the…
Final: Nebraska 21 – Kansas State 3

However, unlike the previous couple of games, you could tell the Huskers were in charge and while they only put 21 points on the board, they could have easily scored twice that many. With Texas…
Confidence Is Contagious
Jeffrey Martin, who covers K-State for The Wichita Eagle wrote a sweet piece in preparation for tomorrow’s matchup in Manhattan. “It’s hard for a defense to prepare for us because we can come out four wide and throw the ball 50 times a game,” [Nebraska quarterback]Taylor said. “Or, we can use four tight ends with…
Huskers’ Offensive Line Takes Care Of Business
Nebraska went Old School in Ames to pick up its first road win of the season. Cody Glenn rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns, Brandon Jackson added 116 yards and a score and the Cornhuskers defense did the rest in a 28-14 victory over Iowa State on Saturday night. Nebraska’s defense, which was lit…
