Let’s give Jeff Brohm credit for turning a football program that was, well, PurDON’T into a competitive football program. The cast of characters post-Joe Tiller arguably did poor...

Photo by Paul Abell/Getty Images The two-time transfer was awaiting word from the NCAA on immediate eligibility for the upcoming season. Husker Fans on Social Media were hit with some not-so-pleasant news early this morning on the verge of their Thursday evening tilt with the Minnesota Gophers. Tight End, Arik Gilbert, has been arrested and...

Photo by David Berding/Getty Images The final score against Minnesota was nausea-inducing. However, there were two players who displayed lots of promise. YIKES. The offensive performance against Minnesota was downright offensive. The OL looked overpowered for much of the game. The receivers looked like they belonged at UNK, not UNL.

The 22 point margin was not a result of major deficiencies up and down the roster for Nebraska. It all comes down to one position. Quarterback. Colorado has...

In this very special episode Todd and I will review the Nebraska – Louisiana Tech game. Then we will ponder what is happening with the rest of the Big Ten West,...

It’s a good thing that Nebraska has a shorter week to forget what the hell happened Saturday and focus on Illinois. The biggest problem Nebraska now possesses is...

Ron Johnson-USA TODAY Sports I should be a little happy, but I’m not. Injuries/no injuries, it’s a W, but Nebraska’s multi-year inability to put a game away was on display.
