Numbers, Statistics and Lies: Indiana Edition
| Bruce Thorson-USA TODAY Sports Looking ahead to Purdue suggests this could be a very entertaining game – both good and bad This game was a flip flop of some earlier efforts by the Huskers. In this one, we witnessed a reasonably good (quite good actually) offensive performance but watched the defense get turned inside out and sideways. The havoc stats (interceptions, fumbles forced, tackles for loss) have largely become an aberration rather than a noticeable perk of the defense. The pass rush is still non-existent,... |
NCAA Appears To Move On Name, Image, Likeness For Athletes, But Really Does Nothing At All

Currently, Nebraska is halfway through a four game cross-division series with Ohio State. In 2022, Ohio State rotates off the schedule to be replaced by Michigan. That will mean... |
Report Card: Indiana Hoosiers 38, Huskers 31
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Whop, there it is. Another frustrating loss for the Huskers. Same song, different verse. Another frustrating loss. It’s almost like Bill Murray’s “Groundhog Day”; in the 1993 movie, Murray finds himself stuck repeating the same day over and over. Like Murray’s weatherman character, aren’t we becoming almost despondent over this happening over and over and over again? Eventually, Murray finally accepted that he had to change himself to break out of this cycle of despair. But not before he seemingly... |
Nebraska 31 Indiana 38: Recap and Evening Thread

Nebraska Football: Scott Frost Presser – Maurice Washington Status, Media Might Be Irksome
| Jon Johnston Below is the transcript from today’s weekly head coach press conference. It’s clear that Maurice Washington won’t be playing anytime soon, but that he’s not entirely off the team. Good? Bad? Indifferent? It’s not good that Washington isn’t playing because as we saw early in the season, he’s an explosion of an offensive player. It’s bad that Frost has stuck his neck out for the guy and from what we can tell, Washington hasn’t responded in like kind, i.e., he’s not doing the... |
