| Hayden Rooney Nebraska takes on #1 UCLA to start off their first Big Ten conference road trip Last time out, the Huskers struggled to find offense in the first half and then fought back in the second, but the damage had been done. Ultimately, falling 72-61 to unbeaten #17 Georgia Tech. Nebraska takes on a very impressive UCLA team to start off conference road games, who is also still undefeated. This matchup could be interesting, depending on who’s healthy for UCLA. Lauren Betts, their star... |
| Andy Ketterson Managed to get that scoreboard shot moments before they turned them off. Just another Festivus Husker miracle on an afternoon where the breaks didn’t kill them. Sure, it would’ve been wonderful to build on that 20-2 lead and cruise to a blowout – and it appeared to be on the table. But when Boston College drove 64 yards with a few chunk plays for a touchdown, blocked a punt, and then quickly scored another to cut that 20-2 lead to 20-15 late in... |
| Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images Our beloved Huskers finish at 7-6! In a significant milestone for Nebraska football, the Huskers clinched a memorable bowl game victory, marking their return to postseason play and breaking a notable drought. The game, played in challenging field conditions that turned routine tackles into 83-yard slides, showcased several promising developments for the program’s future. The most notable revelation came through the offensive coordinator’s performance, with Dana Holgerson’s system displaying a marked improvement in tempo and execution. The offense demonstrated a... |
| Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images It wasn’t pretty but that’s who we are. Onward. A first trip to ever to Yankee stadium and, of course, I took it in December to watch the Huskers. Why? Because nothing else would make sense. The first trip to Yankee Stadium for the Huskers since 1962, however? It’s made nothing but complete sense for a group whose path has not just been crossed but dug, pissed and shat on by black cats for the last decade or so. However,... |
| The Afro Thunder seal of approval | Stephen Bruce Hell, the bowl games have better than the playoff so far – why should ours be any different? And it would be so un-Husker-like to snag that winning record with an easy dub 🙂 It’s 6-6 Nebraska vs. 7-5 Boston College playing for the championship of trophies named after the Steinbrenners and I don’t care. We’re bowling, baby. Yes, it’s a pretty crappy day. Somewhere between 45 and 50 with a steady drizzle, some fans are... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nate M. Quick Thoughts: My prediction below is probably too optimistic but I’m a big believer in what Dana Holgorsen has done with this offense. While there was a jettison on defense through the transfer portal, the fact that Nash Hutmacher and Ty Robinson will still be there gives me some confidence. Boston College did not lose much in the portal with the exception of their starting quarterback who got injured and then benched in November. So there’s that. Nate... |
| Photo by James Patrick Cooper/ISI Photos/Getty Images Mike: It’s the most, wonderful time…of the year… Nate M: With the Huskers jingle belling, andevery one telling you, “hand me a beer.” Jarek: It’s the most wonderful time…to drink beer! Andy: Woke up to showers & sirens this morning in Queens. Apparently not enough traffic yet for the cacophony of horns which are language all their own in the city. See you in a few hours, Yankee Stadium. Jill: A bowl game? A bowl game! Now for... |
| Stephen Bruce Players out, coaches out, coaches in, transfers signed. But now the pursuit of another offseason trophy must take a seat for the Pinstripe Bowl!!! A Huskers bowl weekend is finally here and what a wait it’s been. When this article posts tomorrow, I’ll either be on a flight or a layover in travel to the Big Apple. A good night’s sleep and Uber ride later, it’ll be time to enter Yankee Stadium for the first time in my life and through the press... |
| Stephen Bruce It’s the bowl game edition! Woohoo! It’s bowl game time! We as Husker fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I have never written a Five to Win for a bowl game and I am beyond excited about it. We are going to see some different players on Saturday and we’ll be reaping the benefits of this experience and the extra practices all the way into the next season. The Huskers are going to handle the Eagles and ring... |
| Photo by James Patrick Cooper/ISI Photos/Getty Images This is a weird part of the college football season. Especially this year when the transfer portal opened up between the end of the regular season and the bowl games. I cannot make sense of the timing but it is what it is. Regardless, I have had to remind myself that Nebraska is playing in a bowl game tomorrow morning. I have been fixated on the fact that Nebraska has been adding some great pieces from the transfer... |

| Dylan Widger-Imagn Images Let’s find something for which to be grateful in every single week of a 6-6 season for the ages. And some life lessons. On Christmas Night, as I watched Bad Santa and did laundry while trying to figure out what the perfect clothing is for a Yankee Stadium open-air press box, it occurred to me, after eight years of bowl-free seasons under three different head coaches and gods know how many assistants, it was time to find a reason to be grateful... |
