Nebraska lost Quinton Newsome, Omar Brown, and Phalen Sanford to graduation from a defensive backfield that exceeded expectations in 2023. Throw in Tamon Lynum transferring to Pitt and Javier Morton to Temple, while Corey Collier also entered this month (though he was no longer with the team) and you may think that we are inContinue reading “Spring Preview: Defensive Backs”

Spring Preview: Linebacker
This position group is very interesting to me. It’s a case of an embarrassment of riches at the JACK spot, and trying our best to find depth at the ILB spot. Last year, Nebraska had Reimer, Henrich, Bullock and Javin Wright were your staples in the middle. Henrich had to retire medically from the gameContinue reading “Spring Preview: Linebacker”
2024 Spring Preview: Defensive Line
Much like what we said in our offensive line preview, this defensive line is one of the deepest i’ve seen at Nebraska since 2013 when Nebraska had Jason Ankrah, Greg McMullen, Avery Moss, Randy Gregory, Maliek Collins, Thad Randle, Aaron Curry, Vincent Valentine, Kevin Maurice, and Kevin Williams. Nebraska only needs 3 guys to playContinue reading “2024 Spring Preview: Defensive Line”
2024 Spring Preview: Tight End
If there is one position that this staff is really liking currently, it’s their tight end room. Their TE1 is Thomas Fidone who they had to be careful with last spring and even in the fall, he’s back and fully healthy now after leading our TE room in snaps and receptions in 2023. With himContinue reading “2024 Spring Preview: Tight End”
2024 Spring Preview: Quarterbacks
We are starting our spring position previews with the quarterback position, as that is one of the most intriguing spots in my opinion for the team. Last year, Matt Rhule brought in Jeff Sims at the guidance of a coach he trusted and it fell flat on its face. From dropping snaps, to fumbling, toContinue reading “2024 Spring Preview: Quarterbacks”
2023 Signees Making Track Debut
If you remember from my 2023 recruiting class breakdown, we talked about how Matt Rhule went with a very unique approach for a few of his recruits in the fact that he went after guys with freakish high school marks in track and field while not being heavily recruited on the football field. We are goingContinue reading “2023 Signees Making Track Debut”
Nebraska and the QB Transfer Portal
For what appears to be the third season in a row, Nebraska will be looking for their starting QB in the transfer portal. A sad state of affairs and development has been going on at that position in Lincoln. After all, the guy that started a majority of our games at that position in 2023Continue reading “Nebraska and the QB Transfer Portal”
Do we take a transfer QB
Yesterday we went over where we are so far in the season, and the numerous reasons we are 3-3 (for better or worse). One of the biggest reasons we are where we are right now is due to QB play. The transfer QB we brought in to start was the active leader in turnovers forContinue reading “Do we take a transfer QB”
Wager Resignation and Missing Players From the 120 Man Fall Camp Roster
We will start with the resignation of Bob Wager which became official last week: I’ve seen quite the debate on social media and message boards about how important or unimportant the TE coach is, and if this is a big deal: Personally, and I hate to say this, I agree with Sipple here. Let meContinue reading “Wager Resignation and Missing Players From the 120 Man Fall Camp Roster”
The In-State Recruiting Turnaround
For many of you that followed me on the previous message board, I harped on something that really started rubbing some of the die-hard Frost fans the wrong way. I made mention that our staff was getting out-worked and out-recruited by other teams such as Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Missouri. Even teams likeContinue reading “The In-State Recruiting Turnaround”
