Big Ten Football’s Proper Power Rankings: After Week Eight
| Photo by Matthew Holst/Getty Images Previous Weeks:Week Zero. Week One. Week Two. Week Three.Week Four.Week Five.Week Six. Week Seven. 1 – Oregon Previous: 35-0 Win over Purdue Movement: Hold. Upcoming: Illinois at Home. Momentary Musing: There really isn’t much to say after their win this week except that I am truly intrigued if Illinois can show up in Eugene at 2:30 in the afternoon. It’s not a night game so the environment might not be as much of a factor. 2 – Penn State Previous:... |
Nebraska lands commitment of man mountain OT Juju Marks
| Nebraska had a torrid time in the trenches against the Indiana Hoosiers and couldn’t get any real push on the offensive side of the ball. Matt Rhule has emphasized the need for the trench play to improve and the commitment of Juju Marks to the 2025 class looks to answer that call. The 4-star offensive tackle (6-6/290) from Olathe, Kansas was committed to Kansas and flipped to Nebraska. Final Destination. #GBR ❤️ pic.twitter.com/bNg83C2mp5 — Julian (Juju) Marks (@juju45738) October 20, 2024 Marks had offers from... |
Corn Flakes: Six Football Wins? Volleyball Sweeps, and a Bear Door In a Fence
| Jacob Musselman-Imagn Images Yes, that really happened I have gotten used to writing Monday Flakes after a Husker football loss. But this one is hard. I didn’t expect the Huskers to win, but I sure as hell did not expect…whatever that was. At least the volleyball team is firing on all cylinders (despite what John Cook repeatedly says in his postmatch press conferences). Now, Nebraska is a 20+ point underdog to Ohio State on yet another Big Noon Kickoff. I think Matt Rhule will get... |
Corn Nation Overreaction: Nebraska Football Utterly Exposed by Climbing Hoosiers LIVE Tonight 8pm
| Photo by James Black/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images 56-7 I could end the description right there, but Jon says that “150 words or it doesn’t get picked up by search engines.” So be prepared for word salad to last another 119 words. Epic, systemic failure. Both teams had a bye week heading into this game. Only one team seemed prepared for the contest. The lack of preparation can not be understated. In his post-game press conference, Matt Rhule said “I didn’t see this coming. I... |
Report Card: Huskers 7, Indiana Hoosiers 56
| Photo by THIBAULT CAMUS/POOL/AFP via Getty Images Nebraska broke out the “Surrender Whites” again…with the typical end-result. I missed Indiana’s opening drive of this game, driving to a family gathering. At the time, I was fully planning to go back and review that opening drive. Three hours later, the need to go back and watch any more of this game pretty much was nullified. During the pregame radio show, Greg Sharpe mentioned that Nebraska was wearing white pants to match the white visitor jerseys, and... |
Stand Out Performance by #2 Nebraska Volleyball in a Three Set Win Over Ohio State
| Scott Bruhn Nebraska volleyball playing on NBC on Saturday afternoon was a big moment Nebraska 3 vs. Ohio State 0- 25-18, 25-18, 25-16 Nebraska volleyball begins the journey home after a sweep of Ohio State today and Michigan State yesterday. Two key take aways for Nebraska from this match; blocking and Taylor Landfair. Nebraska did not block well against Purdue eight days ago. Huskers could not shut down the Boilermaker outside hitters. The Nebraska coaching staff said that there was work to do in practice.... |
Indiana’s Crushing 56-7 Victory Over Nebraska Smashes Matt Rhule’s Progress
| Stephen Bruce The Indiana Hoosiers crush Nebraska 56-7, destroying whatever goodwill Matt Rhule and his staff have built over the past year and a half. There’s nothing good to say about this game. There’s no way to sugarcoat it. It was over in the first possession for Indiana. Contrast how this game started with how the game against Colorado started. Nebraska went out in the Colorado game and punched them in the mouth. That game was over in the first series of the game. In... |
HUSKERS RECAP – Now the REAL PAIN Begins?: INDIANA 56 NEBRASKA 7
| Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images A day which began with crazy hope has ended with serious questions about a 6th win. No, really. This isn’t exactly a deep dive into emotions today, but I couldn’t think of anything more relevant after Nebraska rolled down the field on the 1st drive of the second half and Dylan Raiola stared down his receiver from the snap, let if fly and watched as Indiana’s Asbury jumped the route and returned it 79 yards effectively ending the game. Skip... |
Huskers Halftime Recap – Huskers Being Little Kidded!: INDIANA 28 NEBRASKA 7
| “Thought this would be tougher.” | Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nebraska’s search for a 6th win may have gone on red alert following a half where they were gashed for 343 yards and trail by three touchdowns. Resplendent in their glorious Surrender Whites, Nebraska came out and laid an egg worthy of a T-Rex and marched back to the locker room trailing 28-7. The Blackshirts, facing easily the best offense since Matt Rhule’s hire, were badly exposed being gashed for 343 yards as the... |
HUSKERS vs INDIANA: Pre-Game Vibes
| Let’s see if we can tear the top of the Hoosiers again. | Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nothing to stress about today, nope, nope. Hopefully, this is Part 1 of 1 in the 2024 edition of The Pursuit of Win #6. 25 straight losses to ranked teams. 8 years without a bowl game. Both can end with a win over the surprisingly resurgent Hoosiers. There – that’s the storyline, let’s get to it. No surprises on the availability chart. Alavano and Corcoran still out.... |
Game Thread: Indiana – Opportunity for Nebraska to Make a Statement
| Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images Nate M. Quick Thoughts: The biggest conundrum of this game is that Indiana has been dominant this entire season but their strength of schedule is one of the weakest in the country. Nebraska will be the best team they might see all season with the exception of Ohio State. If Nebraska can get to the quarterback and keep them in third and long situations then the Huskers have a chance to pull the upset. Nate M Prediction: Indiana 28 –... |
Predictions: Huskers vs. Hoosiers
| Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images Mike: This has to be a week where Nebraska’s offense breaks through with something. Right? Right? Right? Jill: We know the offense has all the pieces to be really good. I am with Mike – I hope this is the week they gel a little more. Jarek: The offense hopefully isn’t as bad as it was against Rutgers. Conditions should be great in Bloomington, so no excuses in this one. Andy: Two days ago, I was driving through Wolf Creek... |
