Northwestern Wildcats and Pat Fitzgerald (1-2) – Northwestern has won the division title 2 of the 3 years Frost has been here and Fitzgerald seemingly is always mentioned for big jobs due to his ability to get more with less players due to the restrictions at Northwestern academically in taking recruits. Our lone win isContinue reading “In what game does Nebraska have the coaching advantage in our final 7 contests?”

Michigan State Recap 2021
Well, that game played out almost exactly like we talked about in the preview. I wrote that our defense would be able to bottle up the nations leading runningback for Michigan State, and we would force their QB to throw to beat us which would end well for us on that side of the ball.Continue reading “Michigan State Recap 2021”
College Football Weekend Recap
Georgia Southern with a pregame entrance that i’ve never seen… pretty impressive: Believe it or not that coach was fired. I still believe Fleck is a really good coach… but this tweet was a bit eye opening for me. Also love the term “carnival barker”: I remember being really scared after watching Graham Mertz’s firstContinue reading “College Football Weekend Recap”
Michigan State Preview 2021
This is the game. Forget losing to Illinois. Forget playing the #3 team in the country close. If we are going to get where we want to be, this is the game that matters. If you remember my season preview, I had Illinois as a win, but Oklahoma and Sparty as a loss in backContinue reading “Michigan State Preview 2021”
Oklahoma Recap 2021
That was an extremely interesting Saturday… a game where we were 23 point underdogs and virtually nobody was giving us a chance, we were in it until the very end. It creates some interesting talking points this week. It was truly what I call a narrative game as I call it. On the one hand,Continue reading “Oklahoma Recap 2021”
College Football Weekend Recap
Just starting something new of funny tweets/happenings from the weekend: Any of you catch this tweet from me? Well… Eastern Washington got up by 41 points in the second half and somehow managed to not cover the 10 points. A truly unbelievable way to lose your mortgage! I see Nebraska fans are still embarrassing themselvesContinue reading “College Football Weekend Recap”
Oklahoma Preview 2021
Quite the weekend I had… First, i’ll apologize for the week of silence for the most part. As most of you know, I went to hang with some USC buddies for the Stanford game. Quite the ride to sitting in the HCs office watching practice on Thursday, to being at LAX and receiving word heContinue reading “Oklahoma Preview 2021”
Fordham Recap 2021
Well… it was no secret why in May we scheduled a game with Fordham for the 2021 season. In a season where it was pivotal to get off to a quick start before heading to Norman, Oklahoma, we needed all of the tune-ups we could get. An easy choice would be a member of theContinue reading “Fordham Recap 2021”
Getting talented players on the field
Watching the Minnesota game last night, I couldn’t help but get really nervous for our upcoming schedule. Losing to Illinois, Minnesota almost becomes a must win to get to 6 wins and a bowl game. But what were they doing to be ahead of Ohio State at the half? I’m going to table the factContinue reading “Getting talented players on the field”
Fordham 2021 Preview
I hate to start this out with a statement like this, but believe it or not I don’t know a ton about Fordham football. All I know is we get to turn the page from the Illinois game where we lost to the team who was projected last in our division. Every time we haveContinue reading “Fordham 2021 Preview”
