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... |

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... |

Nebraska Football is playing the Sims
| Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images When healthy… There has been a lot of gnashing of teeth recently about who should be the starting quarterback going forward for Nebraska. Matt Rhule in a press conference earlier this week had an answer. As long as he is healthy, Rhule said he is playing… Far be it from me to make those decisions, but I think I’m with many others currently who haven’t been overly impressed with the QB play. Nebraska has scored a meager 24 points on... |

Nebraska Football: What’s the Plan for the Future at the Quarterback Position for the Huskers?
| Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports You can do a lot of things right as a football coach but if you do not get the quarterback position right then it does not matter. One thing we should take away from the first two weeks of Matt Rhule’s tenure is that you can do a lot of great things as a football coach but if you do not get the quarterback position right then it does not matter. This week against Northern Illinois we might end up seeing... |
