Nebraska played an overmatched Louisiana Tech Bulldog team this past Saturday, and while I never really thought we were in danger of losing, it sure never felt like we were manhandling them. It was a very windy day in Lincoln, so as I mentioned in my tweet, I was a little worried about the oversContinue reading “Recap 2023: Louisiana Tech”

2023 Preview: Louisiana Tech
We finally were able to chalk up a win in the Matt Rhule era against Northern Illinois, and we now turn our focus to Louisiana Tech who comes to Lincoln after back to back 3-9 seasons. Sonny Cumbie is in his second season for LA Tech and most people may remember him as the QBContinue reading “2023 Preview: Louisiana Tech”
Recap 2023: Northern Illinois
Offense:The huge story was the injury to Jeff Sims which paved the way for Henrich Haarberg to start in the home opener for the Cornhuskers. HH is the first in-state scholarship QB for the Huskers since 2001 (Mike McLaughlin) which is just a crazy stat to think about when you think of the kind ofContinue reading “Recap 2023: Northern Illinois”
Recap 2023: Colorado
I’m not going into this guys, and my apologies for not even doing a review… We had 8 sacks, 5 yards per carry, but still couldn’t win the game. We have a QB that was directly responsible for 7 turnovers in 6 quarters. We turned it over and that was Colorado’s only touchdown through 3.5Continue reading “Recap 2023: Colorado”
2023 Preview: Northern Illinois
We turn the page to Northern Illinois and we go over how Nebraska can finally get in the win column this Saturday. I can’t really figure out this team… for most of the 2010s Northern Illinois was a power, between 2011 to 2018 the Huskies had 5 straight seasons of 11 wins or more andContinue reading “2023 Preview: Northern Illinois”

2023 Preview: Colorado
*feel free to post this link to any message boards* Maybe the most anticipated game I can remember in Nebraska in the past decade will kickoff tomorrow. And Cornhusker fans are in full defeated mode between how we lost in Minneapolis, and with the Buffaloes upsetting TCU on the road in week 1. For someContinue reading “2023 Preview: Colorado”
Nebraska’s Runs Against Minnesota and The New Play Clock Effect
We went into how we didn’t like the fact that Nebraska had Sims run the ball 19 times to get most of our yardage on the ground. This tweet resonated with me: If you want your QB to stay healthy through the season, you can’t have them running that many times. Further, if you areContinue reading “Nebraska’s Runs Against Minnesota and The New Play Clock Effect”
Recap 2023: Minnesota
Well, if any of you read our preview, that game went basically exactly like we told you it would. And our worries about what we needed to stay away from to win decided to play a factor. In our preview, we stated that we almost picked us to win this game, heck I thought weContinue reading “Recap 2023: Minnesota”
