Nebraska started out strong on defense block a punt on Baylor’s opening drive and running it back for a touchdown. But the story of the game was freshman Cody Green getting the starting nod. I’d grade his start out at a C+, he adds an explosive element to the offense in his rushing ability but…

Iowa State 9 – Nebraska 7
Nebraska had more turnovers than points. Ugly. It’s going to be a long night in the Red tonight. Nebraska squandered opportunity after opportunity due to turnovers. Four trips inside the 5 ended with turnovers, 2 other interceptions late in the game and 2 other fumbles. Yet the Husker defense kept Nebraska in the game. Nebraska…
Where Are The High Flyin’ Huskers?
I’m always interested to hear what Samuel McKewon of Nebraska StatePaper has to say about the state of affairs in and around Memorial Stadium. Head coach Bo Pelini preaches high standards. That’s good. He’s not satisfied with nine-win seasons. He asks for perfection because, in his words, “you get what you ask for.” He coaches…

Huskers Dropped from Polls
On the heels of Nebraska’s loss to Texas Tech, the Huskers have dropped off both the AP Poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll. Based on vote totals, Nebraska would be ranked #26 in both polls – outside of the official Top 25. Other Big 12 Teams in Rankings (Team: AP, USAToday): Texas: #3, #3…
An Inexcusable Play Spirals Into Another Spanking
Texas Tech defensive end Daniel Howard scooped up a dropped lateral from Zac Lee to Niles Paul and returned it for a touchdown in the first quarter today. It was a play that should not have happened. Paul or Mike Smith could have tackled him, but they didn’t “play ’til the whistle” and Tech took…
Nebraska 10 – Texas Tech 31
Given the play of the offense this season, the game many of us expected, but hoped didn’t happen, happened. Another dismal offensive performance that was unable to be offset by the defense, and Nebraska falls to Texas Tech by a 21-point margin. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you want to term it, I managed…
Watson Reads The Opponents Cards, Then Plays His Hand
According to Jon Nyatawa of Omaha World Herald, “the Huskers aren’t just tweaking their attack plan every week, they’re overhauling it.” (Offensive Coordinator) Watson wants his unit to execute every aspect of its playbook. That way, when defenses craft their scheme around one concept, Nebraska can pinpoint the exposed weaknesses and capitalize. The Huskers’ objective…
