Now for the fun part of the previews. Out are the previews that i’ve been writing of “but we have no experience in actual games” or “our depth is lacking” or “four stars everywhere, they just need to get on the field.” Defensive Line is basically how Frost drew up the rebuild when he gotContinue reading “Defensive Line Preview 2021”

Nebraska and the NCAA allegations
Well, I am in work this morning and start seeing Twitter blowing up about the recent NCAA infractions that we are being accused of. There’s essentially two parts to this: “Improper use of analysts and consultants during practices and games. The school has significant video footage confirming the practice violations took place in the presenceContinue reading “Nebraska and the NCAA allegations”
Offensive Line Preview 2021
This is going to be a real fun one. Because no one has any clue what is going on. I can tell you that our defensive line is obliterating our offensive line currently, but it goes back to what i’ve always said is so tough… is our DL just awesome everywhere, or is our OLContinue reading “Offensive Line Preview 2021”
Running Backs Preview 2021
Time for the position group that I have one of the most difficult times figuring out the past few years under Frost and Held’s leadership. For those of you that followed my writing, I probably over-defended Coach Held compared to what the results have been on the field these last three seasons. And maybe that’sContinue reading “Running Backs Preview 2021”
3-4 vs 4-3/Getting Pressure
Being a Husker fan this century has been a dizzying task… I remember back to when Pelini was here, and you heard such things as “we need to run a 3-4, we can never get enough elite DL to get us over the hump!” Don’t believe that? I know you heard “how good would RandyContinue reading “3-4 vs 4-3/Getting Pressure”
Tight Ends Breakdown 2021
Well things have really changed since we started camp to now for this position group. Just like it was last year, TE could have potentially been the deepest position group on our team. In fact, we lost out on two four star in-state TEs for the 2022 class and people said “it’s fine we haveContinue reading “Tight Ends Breakdown 2021”
Wide Receiver Preview 2021
This should be a much better read than a quarterback preview where everyone knows what will be happening this year! Another year, and a third straight season where our starting QB loses his top pass catcher from the year prior. Stanley Morgan in 2018, JD Spielman in 2019, and Wandale Robinson in 2020. That aloneContinue reading “Wide Receiver Preview 2021”
Quarterback Preview 2021
2021 brings a lot of unknowns to the Nebraska football team. What’s crazy to think about is Nebraska returning a 4 year starter at the most important position on the field, who was a 2018 Freshman All-American, and fans still not knowing what exactly we have. I’ve always been a Martinez fan, I think heContinue reading “Quarterback Preview 2021”
Chinander’s Chess Move
As Husker fans we’ve had a rough go of it this century. No conference titles, and even when we had coaches here that were playing for them like Bo, we had an AD that was inserted to drive him out. Fan is short for ‘fanatic’ so it’s only natural that we start wondering what theContinue reading “Chinander’s Chess Move”
