Looking back at the history of Nebraska football coaches, some were known for their offensive expertise, while others were touted as defensive masters. However, the changing landscape of college football has favored offenses due to rule changes, making it difficult for defenses to dominate as they did in... |
| Photo by Louis Grasse/Getty Images The Pac 12 was technically formed in 1915. Back then, they were called the Pacific Coast Conference. Since then, schools have come and gone. They’ve changed their names a handful of times. Won a bunch of titles in many sports. Now, they are down to 9 schools with more likely leaving. I have historically enjoyed the PAC 12. They’ve been fun. UCLA came out of it with an ungodly run of titles back when John Wooden was coaching basketball. Baseball... |
| Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images Congratulations is in order for Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule. It looks like he might be pretty good at hiring young assistant coaches. Today two of his assistants were named to 247’s Top 30 coaches under 30 years old. I guess we should actually say congrats to the two assistants who were actually named to the list in both wide receiver coach Garret McGuire and linebacker coach Rob Dvoracek! Allow us to introduce this year’s nominees for the 247Sports... |

If you trash talk Ndamukong Suh, you better be ready for what comes next@BussinWTB presented by @ChevyTrucks #ad #Silverado pic.twitter.com/qnF3gnAEL2 — Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) July 25, 2023 Now, admittedly I do not remember Suh picking up the starting center for either Arizona or Texas in 2009 and throwing him on his head. This is probably one of those instances... |
| Steven Branscombe-USA TODAY Sports We have a class full o’ stars, but Davidson shines the brightest. It doesn’t take a neurosurgeon to figure out that Nebraska’s offensive line has been unabashed filth going on almost 10 years now. We have been consistently awful at protecting the quarterback and opening holes for our running backs. From Donovan Raiola, to Greg Austin, to Mike Cavanaugh, to even Barney Cotton’s later years, all of them have struggled to cobble up an acceptable OL unit. Whether it was recruiting... |

| Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images While Louisiana Tech’s offense likely won’t be as explosive as the Tim Rattay/Troy Edwards group that nearly torched Memorial Stadium 25 years ago, Nebraska’s best strategy might be to play keep away, pounding a defense that gave up 6+ yds/carry in 22. Well, check it out… another 3-9 non-conference opponent for Nebraska. Louisiana Tech has had back-to-back nine-loss seasons under second year head coach Sonny Cumbie, perhaps best known around here as Texas Tech’s quarterback in 2004. In that infamous... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nebraska was picked to finish 5th in the 2023 Big Ten preseason poll as voted on by media members. Michigan was picked as the overall favorite to beat Ohio State (again!) and win the Big Ten. The poll results are below. Question – if both Nebraska and Wisconsin have first-year head coaches, why is Wisconsin picked to finish first in the West while Wisconsin is picked to finish first? The explanation is in the video below. It’s fairly short. Yay.... |
| Photo by Matthew Holst/Getty Images Also, what will it take to make the USA a soccer nation? I’ve been doing a lot of reading this summer and am currently reading Matthew McConaughey’s autobiography, “Greenlights”. He is a pretty good storyteller and has done some interesting things in his life, so I am finding the book very entertaining. One thing that I learned is that the Naked Bongo incident happened after celebrating Texas defeating Nebraska in 1999. Apparently he was on about hour 32 of the... |
| The violent nature of the game wasn’t quelled because the powers that be wouldn’t change. The years 1895 to 1904 in college football history was a period marked in chaos and fight for control as college football continued to evolve into the game we love today. The big four in the east, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Penn, controlled the rules and how the game was played. Teams in the west began to resent that control and fought for more representation. College football popularity grew but... |
| About the rules created in this era to establish American Football as a distinct game. The first intercollegiate college football game was played between Princeton and Rutgers in 1869. There were 25 players to a side. The ball could only be advanced by kicking or being butted with the head. It wasn’t like anything we know today called football. From there began a march towards the American football we love today. Colleges started with “mob soccer” or “mob football”, such as that played in 1869.... |
