Michigan at Nebraska Football Gets Mid-Afternoon Kickoff Time
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images No Gus Johnson trying to create even more ways to mispronounce Boerkircher this week. After Fox selected Southern Cal at Colorado for a brunch-time kickoff for their Big Eleven AM broadcast, the network then selected the Michigan at Nebraska game for a 2:30 pm central time kickoff. That’s doubly good news for Husker fans since that likely means that Fox will be sending Jason Benetti, their best play-by-play college football announcer, to Lincoln to call the game with Brock Huard... |
Nebraska Football: This Past Weekend Was A Recruiting Bonanza
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Some major talent made it to the Boneyard to watch us thrash the Huskies! I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. Recruiting is the lifeblood of any college football program that wants to win. The better you recruit, the better your football team will be. It is a simple correlation that has proved itself true time & again. Nebraska has made no qualms in its efforts to locate talented recruits. From locating under-the-radar gems with elite athletic traits,... |
Monday Flakes: Celebrating a Winning Weekend for the Huskers
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports Plus, we have a town flooded with wine and some friends who “took over” a hotel for a shift It was a good weekend for Husker football and a really good weekend for the volleyball team. Matt Rhule’s guys took care of an opponent they should have. No one is Husker Nation is under any delusions that we are “back” but it was a step in the right direction. We saw hard-hitting defense, an emphasis on the run game (perhaps too... |
Did Husker Football Just Figure Out Blueprint For More Wins?
| Nebraska Cornhuskers defensive players linebacker Chief Borders #14, defensive lineman Blaise Gunnerson #97, defensive lineman Nash Hutmacher #0, and linebacker John Bullock #5 stand on the field in the second quarter against the Colorado Buffaloes at Folsom Field on September 9, 2023 in Boulder, Colorado. | Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images Please don’t squander this defense by getting too tricky on offense, just keep running the ball and chewing up clock Obviously, a 35-11 win over Northern Illinois is nothing to brag too much about.... |
Corn Nation Over Reaction: Huskers Take Care of Northern Illinois
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images This week on Corn Nation’s Over Reaction, Greg and Hoss had a tougher opponent in stable internet connection than the Huskers had in the Huskies if Northern Illinois. Nebraska wins 35-11, but really the starting defense only gave up three points, and that was the offense’s fault. So, a solid showing by the defense. Hoss says the offensive line is getting better, and as some of the linemen heal up, offers an ideal lineup that could be an improvement. Greg... |
#4 Nebraska Volleyball Battles to Beat #21 Kentucky
| Nebraska dug deep for this win Nebraska 3 vs Kentucky 1 – 25-14. 25-22, 23-25, 25-21 Nebraska cruised through two sets with high powered offense and never quit defense. Nebraska was exceptional. Kentucky went to the locker room after two sets and came back with fire. They gave Nebraska about all they could handle. This Kentucky team is better than their 21 ranking. These two teams played all out, go for everything, hit it harder than the last time mentality and made impressive efforts on... |
Report Card: Huskers 35, Northern Illinois 11
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Fense! I think this tweet sums up my thoughts about Nebraska’s 35-11 victory over Northern Illinois: BREAKING: Winning is fun! — Husker Mike (@Husker_Mike) September 17, 2023 It was fun. It was yet another dominating defensive performance, and while the offense was pedestrian at best, sophomore Heinrich Haarberg did what Jeff Sims didn’t do the first two weeks: not make an unforced error. (Yes, Haarberg did have a fumble inside his own five yard line, but that one goes... |
Physical Nebraska Football Might Be Back at Memorial Stadium
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Billy Kemp’s eight yard touchdown reception in the first quarter was the first time Nebraska scored in the first half all season long. It only took three games. On the other hand if it wasn’t for a turnover on a blindside hit on Haarberg on Nebraska’s own 12 yard line then Northern Illinois likely does not score last night. Northern Illinois averaged 2.3 yards per play. After three games I think we know the type of team we should expect... |
Game Day Pulse: Northern Illinois Huskies
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nebraska Cornhusker 2023-2024 Home Opener does not disappoint as fans mark 100 Years in Memorial Stadium. I’m back. I can tell by the lack of applause many of you didn’t even know I left. That’s okay. I forgive you. Much like the past several seasons, forgetting them is probably the best way we can move forward. In stepping away not much changed (close losses/losing records/no bowl games, etc.), then a whole lot changed, with the firing of Scott Frost and... |
Instant Reaction: Nebraska Dominates Northern Illinois 35-11
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Matt Rhule gets his first win at Nebraska with a dominating smack down of the Northern Illinois Huskies. 35-11, with the Huskies scoring at TD and 2 point PAT late to make it a little less of an ass-kicking than it really was. It wasn’t a perfect performance for our beloved Huskers, but it was closer than anything we’ve seen in a while. Nebraska’s offense was sluggish in the first half, but got going in the second, with Heinrich Haarberg... |
Nebraska Football Recap: Huskers 35 Northern Illinois 11
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports Matt Rhule gets his first win as a Husker head coach and Heinrich Haarberg handles business in his first start Andy: So before today, what came to mind when Husker fans thought of Huskers vs Northern Illinois? 2017 NIU 24 Nebraska 17 Two Tanner Lee pick-sixes in the 1st quarter Come back to tie it. Lose. At least it got Shawn Eichorst fired. Fortunately, history did not repeat itself as the Blackshirts shut down a fairly woeful Husky offense (11 points... |
The Second Half Game Thread NU and NIU: Heinrich Haarberg vs. Rocky Lombardi
| Photo by RJ Sangosti/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images Look who is watching you. The #Huskers have decided to put ‘Lil Red to work when opponents kick field goals. pic.twitter.com/lQRqIeJSV3 — Erin Sorensen (@erinsorensen) September 16, 2023 I think at this point 14-3 over Northern Illinois isn’t bad. Also, this defense is flying around and tackling. This might be my favorite thing about Matt Rhule. His teams come up and hit people. Right now the defense has held the juggernaut Northern Illinois to 58... |
