Join us for our 2025 Northeast Kansans for Nebraska Picnic St. David’s Parish Hall 17th St & Gage Blvd Topeka,...
| Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Fear the turtle? If the Terrapins find answers to major questions with both lines, Maryland could be a surprise team in 2023. One of the stranger anomalies of the Big Ten’s football scheduling is that two of the Big Ten’s most recent additions, Nebraska and Maryland, have only faced each other twice. In comparison, Nebraska has faced Rutgers five times since realignment changed the world of college football. Heck, by the time the Terps come to Lincoln for the third game... |

Andy: (Long drink of spiked Kool-Aid) I’m going over and I’m starting with a win up in Minneapolis. That victory kicks off a 4-0 start and a 3-5 finish against the rest of the schedule is doable. Also, I feel pretty confident about wins against Northwestern and Iowa. (Yes, Iowa – I... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images They’ll pick a part your passing game. “Salutations Husker Nation”! The three words that greeted the Husker faithful every time he appeared on the starting lineup video. A quick tribute to the freshly retired Prince Amukamara and his great NFL career. It was fun to watch him play when I was in college, but also fun to watch the likes of Mike Brown, Ralph Brown, Keyuo Craver, Dejuan Groce, Mike Minter, Josh and Daniel Bullocks when I was growing up.... |
| Photo by Matthew Holst/Getty Images I would appreciate it very much if you would participate in this survey. It pertains to what you think will happen with Nebraska’s rushing game this season. Will anyone make 1,000 yards rushing? Who will be Nebraska’s leading rusher? Who will score the most rushing TDs? How many points will Nebraska’s offense average per game this season? I enjoy presenting these surveys because the results give us some fun information on what Husker fans are thinking as we approach this... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images The Heart and Soul of the Defense A couple of coworkers thought of a question for me when I was going to write this article. Take the current 3-3-5 system, but put any former Huskers in the middle three, who are they? If Nebraska’s defense is to be successful, I believe it is actually the linebackers that will have the biggest impact. My response is Barrett Ruud, Carlos Polk and Lavonte David. Guys who were ALWAYS named every time the... |
| Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports After losing their top two offensive weapons to the transfer portal after spring practice, the outlook on Michigan State looks rather cloudy. After a magical 2021 season led by running back Kenneth Walker, reality hit hard for Michigan State last season. The Spartans fell from a New Years Six bowl game to a 5-7 record in 2022. And with only 13 returning starters as a result of losing two of their top offensive stars to the transfer portal after spring practice,... |
| Photo by James Black/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Most Nebraska fans know the names like Jeff Sims, Luke Reimer, Nick Henrich, Gabe Ervin Jr., Thomas Fidone and Ty Robinson. Those are as close to household names as there are on this Husker roster. I am probably missing a couple. However, below are five Huskers that are far from household names (as of today) that might be end up being known by the fanbase at large by the time the 2023 season is over. Some have... |
| Jon Johnston High school football is back! Akelo brings you your weekly recruiting update! In order for Nebraska football to come back, we need big time football players that can make big time plays. You do this by recruiting. This class, we have a gaggle of players I feel can be big time. Let’s see how they played this week! Jacory Barney Jr. The four-star wideout from Miami, Florida starred for his Miami Palmetto Panthers squad against Doral Academy. He made several tough catches in... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images The biggest (and first) line of defense Tony White’s 3-3-5 formation will soon be unleashed, so after getting to know the offense, now it is the defense’s turn. Having only three down linemen might not seem like a lot, especially against offenses in the B1G, but when “Back in Black” starts blaring as the Blackshirts take the field all hell is about to break loose. The defensive line, the guys responsible for filling all holes, the emergency plan to plug... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images It’s hard to complain when Nebraska has not one but two members of 247Sports’ True Freshman All-American Team. It’s almost time for kickoff across the country, which means it’s time to introduce the world to college football’s true freshman class. These are players who have “next” in college football. It might be from Week 1 of the season or it could be much later in the year, but these 247Sports Preseason True Freshman All-Americans are players who will have an... |
| Photo By Brendan Moran/Sportsfile via Getty Images Another week another fun video from the Husker Football twitter account. Here they are asking the players to impersonate their position coach. Some of the players definitely took advantage of the opportunity. Corey Campbell, E.J. Barthel and Garret McGwire took the brunt of it. My favorite part of the video? Was when the Offensive Linemen walked in and had the opportunity to impersonate Donovan Raiola. Their response? A big NOPE. Who had the best impression?? #GBR x #WhatsNExt!... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images This week, Jon’s in a lodge somewhere watching Cocaine Bear with and and reacting accordingly, so Greg called in some familiar faces to join him on the show this week. Todd is here, and he’s supposed to play the role of the crotchety old man, but he’s surprisingly pleasant and upbeat. And making his Five Heart debut is legendary Husker fan and all-around superb individual Brett Baker. Brett shares his thoughts on the Day by Day documentary among other Husker... |
