Today's Husker News
South Dakota State is a Good FCS Team
If there's such a thing as a good FCS team, then South Dakota State is one. The school went 8-3 in the regular season a year ago and 1-1 in the playoffs, losing to national champion North Dakota State. Continue →

UCLA Game May Define Season
It's not a stretch to say that Nebraska fans are tired of seeing their team lose four times (or more) in a season. This year the schedule is a bit kinder, though defensive concerns make losing four games again a real possibility. The November 9th game at Michigan will probably see NU as an underdog. Some of the likelier bowl matchups would also put the Huskers at a disadvantage. Ohio State would be a favorite if a Big Ten title game happened. Four losses can only happen if Nebraska trips up somewhere else. Continue →

Transfers Leave Southern Miss Fewer QB Options
What a difference a year makes. Southern Mississippi entered the 2012 season coming off of a 12-2 Conference USA Championship season. Head coach Ellis Johnson was entering his first year after a number of strong performances as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach at South Carolina. The school had to replace standout quarterback Austin Davis as well as their top running back and two most productive receivers. Still, no one saw an 0-12 season coming. Johnson was shown the door and now Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Todd Monken takes over the job. Continue →

Season Opener: Basketball on FieldTurf?
This offseason we've heard rumblings that Nebraska might seek to further increase the tempo of their offense. Wyoming is making the same kind of noise. Neither sounds too promising for a Husker defense that's seeking to improve. But it might make the season opener a lot more interesting. Continue →

Method to the Madness in New Big Ten Scheduling
It seems wholly implausible that the new schedules for the Big Ten occurred as a product of a chance and the matchups simply fell out as they did after some coin-flipping. As surely as the deck was stacked against Nebraska in their initial two years in the league, the schedule makers appear to similarly wish to punish newcomers Rutgers and Maryland. Continue →

Huskers’ 2014 Schedule Lacks Excitement
They say you can schedule more wins than you can coach. In that sense, Nebraska should be pleased with their 2014 and 2015 slate of conference opponents. Considering all of the potential matchups, Rutgers and Michigan State should be much easier to handle than Michigan or Ohio State. Still, NU season ticket holders are left to wonder, "Where's the beef"? Continue →

Talking Baseball
Tonight, Nebraska begins a three-game homestand against Michigan that will close the regular season. If the Huskers (24-26) manage a sweep, they would finally pull themselves over .500. Because NU is 14-7 in the conference, that could also make them the regular season Big Ten champions. Even if Nebraska were swept, their 14 wins guarantees them a place in the Big Ten tournament (which takes the top six conference teams). Continue →

UCLA Loses Owa for 2013
Defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa was the top-rated target for both UCLA and Nebraska's 2010 recruiting class. The Bruins won that particular face-off which may well have been a decisive factor in UCLA's victory over the Huskers in 2012. The senior reportedly underwent hip surgery that will require him to sit out the 2013 season. That could prove a similarly decisive factor when the two teams face off in Lincoln in September. Continue →

Nebraska Adds Late Walk-On
Nebraska has added a walk-on at receiver in 6'3" 195 lbs. Alex Balke. Balke caught 51 passes as a senior for 845 yards and 14 touchdowns. Nebraska's last real impact walk-on at receiver was Todd Peterson, who was slightly bigger at 6'4" and 205 lbs. as a redshirt freshman. By the time Peterson graduated, he had climbed into the top five all time at Nebraska in receptions and receiving yards. Continue →

Alex Lewis Status in Doubt
Friday brought seemingly great news to Nebraska when it was announced that Alex Lewis, son of former Husker All-American center Bill Lewis, would be transferring from Colorado to Nebraska. Now the word is he's been charged with second-degree assault, which is a felony. Continue →
