| Hayden Rooney Football, volleyball, soccer, and both basketball teams notched wins in late October The first snow fell on the ranch this weekend. It must have been a good omen as it was a perfect football weekend for me. I do not take those for granted. I am especially excited to see signs of progress for the Huskers. We’ve waited for this multi-decade rebuild to stop being a rebuild and turn into progress. Matt Rhule seems to have unlocked that new level. There is a... |
| Steven Branscombe-USA TODAY Sports The question is, how bad is the injury Nebraska had an exhibition game in Lincoln on Sunday night. While they won, the team took a hit on the injury front that we will know better in the upcoming days. During the first half of play Keisi Tominaga bumped into a Doane player during a fast break. Keisi fell and twisted his angle in the process. He limped off the court and was not back on the remainder of the game. He... |
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports I admit it…I predicted a Husker loss today. I didn’t have a lot of faith in the Nebraska offense after last week, especially considering the loss of three offensive linemen plus receiver Billy Kemp. Fortunately, the Blackshirts didn’t share that same pessimism. It was another great performance by the defense. Are these the same players that was the third or fourth worst defense in the Big Ten last season? For the most part, yep. It just points out to me that... |
| #2 Isaac Gifford takes down #8 TJ Sheffield | Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports The Husker Defensive Backs come up huge in tackling and turnovers in route to a 31-14 Husker W! Another week, another Husker win!! The Huskers once again find a way to get the win at home on a chilly Saturday afternoon in Lincoln. Except for the horrendous ball handling late in the 4th, Nebraska put together quite a solid balanced game on both sides of the ball. The offense found their rhythm... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images It might be just me but I hope that Matt Rhule will let his hair down at a post-game press conference at some point. Maybe show us that he is having a good time. Maybe give us a clue that he’s happy to win. But that’s not the guy Nebraska has at the helm. However, it sure looks like that is exactly what Nebraska has needed for over a decade. Nebraska is currently on a three game winning streak. That’s... |
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports Nebraska dominates at the net in impressive fashion Nebraska 3 vs Rutgers 0 – 25-22, 25-15, 25-12 Nebraska looked sharp against Rutgers. For the second time in two nights, the Huskers beat a team in three sets and with a hyper efficient offense. The Scarlet Knights came out of the locker room with a game plan, and let’s hand it to them, they executed it well. Displaying a wide variety of shots, including rolls, back row attacks and a wide distribution... |
| Whoops, Purdue. | Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports The old 4th quarter bad magic reared its head…and then those young men shut the door. Hard. Game over and I don’t think anyone really expected it to play out the way it did. Right? Low scoring…dodgy injured offense…let’s try to win 17-11 or something? No one came into this game expecting much in the way of offensive fireworks. Nebraska’s offense was like an East Lansing emergency room after a Michigan State big win in anything. Their defense... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nebraska football beats the Purdue Boilermakers! Was it scary? Yes! Was it ugly? Yes! But like I said after the Ilinois game, there was NEVER A TIME AT WHICH PURDUE WAS A THREAT TO WIN THIS GAME. Over their first two games the #Huskers allowed 26 points off 8 turnovers. Since then, our beloved Huskers have given up 11 turnovers, but only 18 points (I need to verify that). The defense is playing exceptionally well. Did you see the Nebraska... |
| Photo by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images THIS IS OUR GAME THREAD UNTIL TONIGHT’S VOLLEYBALL GAME THREAD! Nate M’s Quick Thoughts: The question I have coming into the game is when will the injuries really start to rear their head? The losses on the offensive line really make me nervous is this game. Especially with how much Purdue blitzes. If Nebraska wins, I think it’ll be 20-7 type of game. If they lose, I think it’ll be 10-3. I expect the defense to play... |
| #1 Huskers will play their second match of the weekend against a Rutgers team coming off a win at Iowa Even though Husker Nation is still on cloud 9 after that amazing win over Wisconsin, the world keeps turning and it did last night as the Huskers welcomed Maryland into Lincoln. Last night, the Huskers swept Maryland in a quick three sets to advance to 20-0 on the season. There has been sort of a trend with the Huskers when they play teams that aren’t... |
| Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports Mike: It’s starting to look a lot like Big Ten football season… Nate M: The hope is where you are scared to look. Andy: Should have a picture of cold, pristine Field Turf. It ain’t gawn snow. But it is gonna be mid-high 30’s and pretty windy. Darn fine day to run the damn ball and kick the tires on these new O-linemen. Jackson: Seems like the season goes so fast, I can’t believe we’re already in week 9! Looking... |
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports It took three sets and 81 minutes to earn the win Nebraska 3 Maryland 0 – 25-19, 25-17, 25-8 It just wasn’t that close. Nebraska hit .349 for the match while Maryland hit .023. Andi Jackson led Huskers in hitting percentage with .636 while Harper Murray led in kills with 16 and hit .433. Merritt Beason had 10 kills and hit .381. Ally Batenhorst hit -.286 which is not great at all. She had seven attempts and four errors. Coach Cook... |
