Corn Flakes: Huskers Move Up the Rankings and Next Opponent Illinois Enters the Polls
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nebraska will host a matchup of ranked teams this Friday night! The Husker football team is 3-0 after a decisive win vs Northern Iowa. The game was never in doubt, but it still left Husker fans with questions, especially about the run defense and the third quarter offense. Nebraska moved up a couple spots in the rankings and their next opponent, Illinois, entered the polls after beating Kansas a week ago and Central Michigan on Saturday. The Illini are also... |

Report Card: Huskers 34, Northern Iowa 3
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nebraska is 3-0. Yes, Northern Iowa did have success moving the ball on the Huskers at times on Saturday night, but they only gave up 3 points. Yes, one could argue that Nebraska hasn’t really played anybody, and they probably are right. But still: Nebraska is 3-0. Let’s put that in perspective: Nebraska hasn’t been 3-0 in football since 2016. Nebraska wasn’t a great team that season – especially at the end. But you cannot deny that the 2024 Huskers... |
Instant Reaction: Nebraska Throttles Northern Iowa 34-3
| Stephen Bruce Nebraska moves to 3-0 on the season, beating Northern Iowa, a FCS school, by the score 34-3. The game was, well, the game was pretty good for Nebraska. The team played good all around. Dylan Raiola was masterful as the offense racked up 423 yards, including 281 pass yardage and 142 rushing. The defense gave up 301 yards to the Panthers, 162 passing, 139 yard rushing – I bet you thought it was more, didn’t you? A whole gob of Nebraska guys played.... |
HUSKERS FOOTBALL RECAP – Not Perfect? Yep. But Day By Day…: NEBRASKA 34 NORTHERN IOWA 3
| BETTER AND BETTER. | Stephen Bruce Ah, sure, I’m nitpicking, but it’s happier nitpicking when we win. The only people nervously watching the end of this one were the gamblers who got in on the 30-point spread as Northern Iowa marched down the field trailing 34-3 with under two minutes left. In the end, a 4th and goal came up just short and those wagering fools sweating it out could breathe easy. Everyone else in red knew that lead was more than enough to carry... |
First Half Recap – Defense Not Perfect, But Raiola Almost Was: HUSKERS 21 NORTHERN IOWA 3
| Memorial Stadium after dark for the 2nd straight week. I can get used to this. And I better since it’s happening again Friday. | Andy Ketterson Business is being taken care of…somewhat. Who wants to play good news, bad news?? Me either, but here we are. It’s not that bad. The offense was in machine-like efficiency mode doing the following in four drives: 8 plays, 75 yards, TD. 7 plays, 75 yards, YD. 4 plays, 80 yards TD. 6 plays, 41 yards, lost ball on... |
Game Thread: Northern Iowa’s Running Game to Test Nebraska’s Defense
| Photo by David K Purdy/Getty Images Nate M. Quick Thoughts: I think Northern Iowa is going to be a nice change of pace for the Huskers. We are going from a throw it around offense in Colorado to a run first offense in Northern Iowa. They are currently the 21st ranked FCS team so it could end up being a battle but I expect Nebraska to run away with it at some point. Does Dylan Raiola stay turnover free? Nate M Prediction: Nebraska wins 40-10.... |
NEBRASKA vs. NORTHERN IOWA – Take Care of Business: PRE-GAME & HOW TO WATCH
| Let’s just get this done, alrighty? | Stephen Bruce As always, I do my best to avoid a certain local comedian’s catchphrase at all costs. So yes – not GED, but please. Take care of business. After wandering the tent and grill areas around Hawks/Bowling Fields and Breslow Ice Arena, it’s safe to say tailgating is at about 55-60% capacity as compared to last week when it was about 102%. Andy Ketterson Also, no, the students don’t pack it in two hours early every game,... |

Huskers vs. Northern Iowa Predictions
| Stephen Bruce Mike: This would seem to be a week for a let-down performance. Jarek: In past years, this was a virtual lock to be a let-down performance. Jon: THERE WILL BE NO LET DOWN. Andy: Northern Iowa last week scored ten 4th quarter points to beat the U. of St. Thomas, MN, 17-10. The previous week, St. Thomas was slapped 34-13 by the U. of…Sioux Falls. My point? There may a letdown, but we probably won’t be aware of it until Bert’s crew come... |
