Handicapping the Spring Game
<font size="2">The Nebraska Athletic Department has released the rosters for the Spring game. <font size="2">Based on what we see, which team has the edge?</font></font>
Secondary is Stocked for New Coach
Regardless of who comes in to take over the secondary from the departed Corey Raymond, the new coach will get a chance to evaluate highly touted talent and impressive returning depth. In addition to two scholarship recruited athletes that could have an opportunity to contribute right away, the new coach …
Fixing Nebraska's Cornerback Issues
For Nebraska, the 2011 season and 2012 recruiting class can be defined by one position - cornerback. Forget quarterback play. Forget the need for additional linebackers. The Husker's fortunes have risen and fallen with their corners. A "Bo Pelini Defense" needs great cornerback play, something that was missing for large …
Position Battle Buzz - Defense
There's no actual depth chart on the horizon so lets take a couple of minutes for round two of the annual August parlor game: Guessing the depth chart. We won't know anything for sure until Sept. 3 but here's my take on what's happened so far this fall. …
Bo's Best Defense?
In the past two seasons, Nebraska fans have been treated to two tremendous defenses. In 2009, it was led by Ndamukong Suh and a front four that collapsed the pocket quickly, ending plays before they could begin. In 2010, it was a secondary that made completing passes seem downright futile. …
Five Candidates for a Breakout Season in 2010
About a week ago, I ran my usual off season talent test on the Husker roster, a simple exercise I call "Five Great Players." The results looked positive. Yesterday, the Big 12 media members more or less affirmed that audit of the Husker personnel, by naming four NU players to their …
Underclassmen Make Strides to Impact Team
So it's apparently never too early for 2011 draft talk, as SI's Andrew Perloff and ESPN's Todd McShay have decided. With McShay believing that Jared Crick will be leaving early as a Junior next year. Looking at Nebraska's roster, there are 25 seniors and 24 juniors on the roster this year, …
What Will We See Saturday?
Sure a number of people are wondering who will play best at the Spring game. Will it be Cody Green or Taylor Martinez? Eric Martin or Sean Fisher? Curenski Gilleylen or Antonio Bell? And on and on... But one question that's been so far unanswered is how will they pick the …
The Real Class of 2010
While much of the focus these past few weeks has been on the players who were new to the team this year. It makes sense. Once the season's over fans naturally focus on what's next. But the newest signees aren't the only thing new for the 2010 Huskers. What's also new …
Missouri Post-Mortem
I call this article a "Post-Mortem" because I spend the time dissecting the mistakes the Husker have made in the past week's game. But this week, the title of Post-Mortem is honorarily given for the fashion in which Nebraska took apart the Tigers in the final quarter of the game. From …
Will Recent Recruits Silence the Naysayers?
In recent weeks and months there's been a lot of chatter that Nebraska was "behind" in recruiting due to the relatively small number of commitments to NU and the many commitments to programs like Texas. The clamor rose to almost outright panic by some factions of Husker fans with the decommitments …
Depth Chart Observations
The coaching staff has released a depth chart for the Florida Atlantic game. The first glance at it confirms a few big picture items that many had already suspected - that we're going to see some freshmen playing on Saturday and that competition remains at many spots.
Can Receiver Production Match 2008
With all this attention placed on the Running backs the last few days, I have been forcing my mind to the Wide Receivers group the whole time. Not to minimalize the issue, but I'd like to keep focusing on the football that's going to be played in less than two weeks, …
Finding Fresh Faces
Not too long ago, my esteemed BRN colleague Brandon took a shot a figuring out who the freshman contributors that Bo Pelini mentioned my just be. Today, after the knowledge that comes following a dozen practices, we can see more clearly which of the young players are starting to emerge. …
Won’t Get Fooled Again
Going into the 2008 season, one of the concerns for Husker fans was about receiving talent. Nebraska had lost statistical leaders in Maurice Purify (yards, touchdowns, single game scoring record), Terrence Nunn (2nd all-time in receptions and yards to the legendary Johnny Rodgers), Frantz Hardy (yards per catch by a starter, …
Missing Swift: Who Will Field Punts in 2009?
Every pre-season prognostication on the magazine racks right now talks about the lost production that Nebraska must replace at wide receiver. Many of those suddenly missing receptions and yards came from Nate Swift. Swift's departure hurts more than the loss of his fellow key wide receiver Todd Peterson because Swift also …
Absent Key Players, Opportunity Knocks for Backups
It's a good thing that most Nebraska football fans appreciate watching the running game or quality play along the line of scrimmage. The absence of some important skill position players will likely change the complexion of Saturday's Red-White Spring Game. Fans are even more likely to see a defensive contest, I …
WANTED: A Few Home Run Threats
How long has it been since Nebraska has had a true home run hitter? I'm talking a Percy Harvin/Johnny Rodgers type of player who was a threat to score every time he touched the ball. An absolute, unquestionable, game-changing threat that opposing teams had to account for at all times. The …

Want to know what each of the major recruiting services are saying about the recently recruited Husker players or how many stars they have? Click on the links next to each name to see descriptions and/or video of everyone. We've also gone through all the information that can be found on …
Building the Right Foundation
While there's a lot of excitement surrounding Nebraska football coming off a Gator Bowl victory, there's certainly some recognition that the team still has a lot of rebuilding to do. That's why it would have been tempting for the Husker coaching staff to load heavily with junior college players in order …
Brandon Kinnie Most Likely to See Time
One of the favorite games of fans right after signing day, is “who will see early playing time�? While you'd expect at least a handful of players from this class to contribute in 2009, the top candidate is probably junior college wide receiver Brandon Kinnie.
2009 Signing Class - Initial Reaction
The ink is dry on the letters of intent, and the Nebraska roster is heavier by 20 players today. There was a little bit the typical signing-day drama. But, for the most part, things went according to plan.Here are my initial thoughts and reactions to the class, now that it is …
Arrivals and Departures
It is the time of year when it is worth keeping your eye on the door. At Nebraska and around the country players and coaches are coming and going almost by the minute. Coaching changes, players choosing to go to the NFL or not, players transferring or leaving the team, and …
Dixon Dismissed
Bo Pelini just wrapped up his first press conference of the Fall 2008 Campaign -- and it wasn't without big news. Senior Defensive Tackle Kevin Dixon has been kicked off of this year's squad.
Position Breakdowns: Wide Receivers
Outlook: The Huskers lost a lot of production to graduation with the departures of Maurice Purify, Terrence Nunn, Frantz Hardy, and Dan Erickson. But seniors Nate Swift and Todd Peterson each have plenty of experience. How well the inexperienced youngsters perform will determine whether this group is simply adequate or explosive. …
The Class of 2008 Comes Together
The Huskers recruiting class of 2008 might be remembered as much for whom it didn't include as for who it did. Among the decommits were five-star quarterback Blaine Gabbert, four-star running back Jonas Gray, four-star offensive linemen Trevor Robinson, Bryce Givens, and Dan Hoch, four-star linebacker Shaun Mohler, and five-star defensive …
Huskers Add Three Wideout Commits
The Huskers netted three commits this weekend from wide receivers Antonio Bell, and Courtney and Steven Osborne.
More Recruits to Visit
The Huskers appear set to host a dozen or more recruits in the next few days. Scout.com reports that Nebraska will host 12 recruits this weekend. This includes committed players five-star Lincoln offensive lineman Baker Steinkuhler, three-star linebacker Kyler Reed of Kansas, and Ricky Henry who will likely attend Nebraska if …
