Nebraska Football Practice Report August 9: Scott Frost Talks About Depth and Having Fun
| Jon Johnston The head coach got his turn to talk to the media after practice on Friday. Spoiler: Everyone is playing better than last year and doing good things in practice. The head coach himself made a podium appearance after Friday’s practice. As always, these are the best I could do in typing these “quotes” as I listened. They are not exact. If you want something clarified or want the exact quotes, let me know in the comments and I can go back an listen... |
Indiana Hoosiers 2019 Football Preview
| Photo by James Black/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Hoosiers haven’t finished with a winning record since 2007; is 2019 the year to change that? Perhaps the strangest anomaly of Big Ten scheduling for Nebraska is the fact that the Huskers have only faced Indiana once in Nebraska’s first eight seasons in the conference. By the time Indiana travels to Lincoln for the first time, Ohio State will have played in Lincoln three times. Heck, Nebraska has completed home-and-home series with UCLA, Miami, Oregon and... |
Nebrasketball Player Profile: Thorir Thorbjarnarson
| David Banks-USA TODAY Sports What kind of impact can the Icelander have with the new-look Huskers? It has been an interesting offseason for the Nebrasketball team. They hired successful NCAA coach Fred Hoiberg and immediately, things changed. Graduates such as Glynn Watson, Jr., James Palmer Jr., and Tanner Borchardt graduated. Isaiah Roby went to the NBA, while Nana Akenten, Amir Harris and Karrington Davis entered the transfer portal. That leaves us with third-year guard Thorir Thorbjarnarson as the only remaining Husker on the roster who... |

| Photo by Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images It’s August. Fall camp has started. You are preparing for a season of college football. You are starting to return to your favorite web site, CornNation.com, and see who’s still around, who’s in jail, who got divorced, and hear the story about that one guy who got half-eaten by a bear. What better than a preseason game thread to get you going! There are kind of football games on tonight! They’re not college games. They are fake... |
Nebraska Football Practice Report: August 7
| It was offensive coordinator Troy Walters and other offensive coaches’ turn to update the media. The early part of the practice was open to the media. After practice, offensive coordinator Troy Walters and some of the offensive assistants talked to the media. Tweetcap from the open portion of practice Sorry for the length. Hopefully you want as many of the sights and sounds of practice as I did!

Nebrasketball: Southern University Preseason Preview
| Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images This will most likely not be the prettiest game, but the Huskers might need it to be that way I’ve been to Baton Rouge, LA, home of Southern U, four times for LSU football games. I even flew in and out of the airport there for one of the trips. I feel sort of bad that I never knew near the airport is a historic African American land grant school named Southern University and A&M College. In my defense, I’ve... |
2019 Nebraska Football Position Breakdown: RUNNING BACKS
| How much time will Mo Washington miss is the big question hanging out there. | Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Light on experience but heavy on potential, this group could give the offense a very dangerous dimension. Position Preview – Running Backs Position Coach – Ryan Held This is Coach Held’s second year at Nebraska and we should all devote our powerful thoughts and prayers to seeing that he remains here as long as Coach Frost. He does have an extensive small and junior college... |
Nebrasketball Player Profile: Dachon Burke Jr.
| Photo by Justin Berl/Getty Images We finally get to see what the Robert Morris transfer can do for the Huskers Dachon Burke Jr. comes to Lincoln via Robert Morris. He sat out last season but practiced with the squad. He is one of the two players coming back to play for coach Hoiberg. The other would be Thorir Thorbjarnarson. So, that means he likes Hoiberg enough to stay and that he is good enough to play in Fred’s system. I think the latter of the... |
Nebrasketball: The Huskers Take On Italy
| Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Well, not the entire country. But you get where this is going. The University has sent Nebrasketball across the Atlantic for a little summer trip before school starts this fall. Fred Hoiberg and the Nebraska basketball squad are in Italy to see the sights, eat the food, and play some basketball against some of Europe’s finest. Taking #Nebrasketball across the .

Nebraska Football Practice Report – August 5
| Defensive coordinator Erik Chinander and defensive coaches were at the podium today. One key cog in the defense hasn’t been cleared for fall camp. As with all of my practice report “quotes” these are typed in real time and are not exact – they are the best I can do with how quickly they answer and move on to different topics. If you want me to clarify one or get exact wording on one, let me know in the comments. There wasn’t much meat today... |
2019 Nebraska Football Position Breakdown: Inside Linebackers
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images After Barry, Miller and Honas who is next? Coach: Barrett Ruud Easily the best linebacker in the history that gets booed every time he made a big play for the defense.* It would likely be nice to have an inside linebacker’s coach who is the all-time leading tackler in Nebraska history and also spent eight years in the NFL. He has coached up Mohamed Barry (my current favorite player) as well as Dedrick Young who both had career high tackles... |
Friday Flakes: Frost Did Not Put Nebraska In His Top 25
| Amen I say to you! Amen! For those who haven’t noticed, I have spent way too much time complaining about the national expectations for this upcoming season. It bothers me more than it should. So as I sat at Scott Frost’s press conference yesterday afternoon there was a question about the USA Today’s coaching poll that was released yesterday morning. This was his response: Coach Frost did not place Nebraska in his own top 25. Says he hopes they are there in the end.— CornNation... |
