When I have questions about the Huskers, I look to Samuel McKewon of Omaha World Herald for answers. For instance, where was our offensive game plan last Saturday? In the past five years, Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison has helped run a national title unit — Florida in 2006 — and the Baltimore Ravens. He…
How Many Beatings Does Nebraska Have To Take Before We Change The Score?
PAIN. FULL. That’s what yesterday’s game was for an outmatched Nebraska squad and its fans. Brian Christopherson of Lincoln Journal Star, had this to say following the debacle in Ann Arbor: Messier than a baby’s bib, this one. Turn the ball over twice more than your opponent and have it half as long and see…
Four Downs: Nebraska at Michigan
Well, Nebraska will be playing two more times in 2011, instead of one more time. What an all-around ugly performance today by the Huskers, with the exception of LB Lavonte David. I can’t believe I thought the Huskers deserved BCS consideration after watching them play today.
Huskers Ready To Rock The Big House
I’m thrilled that we’re playing Michigan in Ann Arbor tomorrow. They’re not Penn State, which is a relief, but more importantly this is the kind of late season Big 10 game that the season rides on. 10-2 is within our grasp, but 8-4 is also a possibility, as is 9-3. Which means that tomorrow’s game…
Bigger Than Football
At first, I was surprised to learn that Bo Pelini thought yesterday’s game against Penn State should not have been played. But now that I’ve read David Haugh’s Chicago Tribune op-ed on the game, it makes more sense to me. To say this football game was revealing has nothing to do with either Penn State…
Four Downs: Nebraska at Penn State
A crazy week in college football comes to an end with Nebraska holding on to beat Penn State 17-14 in State College. If you read my blog, you know the scandal affected me. I don’t know about everyone else, but I was just observing everything at the outset of the game. A nice moment by…
Bradley v. Pelini One Of Many Storylines
Players play the game, but coaches also line up against one another on game day. Tomorrow at high noon (EST) Tom Bradley lines up against Bo Pelini and #19 Nebraska. It would be a heck of a debut under any circumstance, but given the spotlight and widespread condemnation in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky…
Guest Post: Huskers Invade Not So Happy Valley — The Las Vegas Perspective
By Tony George Nebraska -3.5 @ Penn State With the national spotlight on Happy Valley, PA right now, it is not so Happy at Penn State right now. A sex Scandal with ex Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky has rocked the campus and shaken the Joe Paterno legacy down to its very core. Hidden behind…
Smells Like Teen Spirit And Pepper Spray
Tom Osborne said on KLIN radio this morning that Husker fans might want to wear something other than Nebraska red in unHappy Valley this Saturday. He said he and Bo Pelini would understand, even though I do not. Apparently T.O. and Nebraska Regent Tim Clare of Lincoln are concerned about the safety of Nebraska fans…
What Kind of Tempest Awaits?
We all know by now that one heck of a storm has been brewing in State College — the site of this Saturday’s Nebraska game. But what waits for the Huskers in Happy Valley? Will Penn State’s players, fueled by a love for Joe Pa come out swinging? Or will they be on their heels,…
