What is there to break down when looking at the Huskers on Saturday? Nothing but the eight turnovers. It was like a bad three stooges scene that lasted for 60 minutes. This broken record is starting to drive me a...

Saturday afternoon's game was ridiculous. The number 8 just keeps rattling around in my head. The images of all those turnovers replay in my mind. It's enough to make you crazy. Sometimes, the only way to stay sane is to...
Eight Turnovers Leave Huskers Out in the Cold

You want to give Iowa State credit, but it's hard. Especially when plays like Niles Paul's fumble occur that are essentially unforced. The defense played a great game, which became another wasted effort. Now not only are Nebraska's prospects of...
Game Day Pocket Guide for Nebraska vs Iowa State
Time to bounce back Husker fans. Last week's loss to Texas Tech was tough to take. But you know the team has been working hard all week preparing for this game. What about you? Are you a prepared fan?...

There's some talk that this year's Iowa State team is much improved from a year ago. And while ISU's four wins to date easily top last year's pair or wins, the Cyclones may not be a favorite in any of...

Gene Chizik is angry for a number of reasons. The Cyclones are 2-4. They just lost to the Baylor Bears by 28 points. The school makes him wear those ugly red and yellow sweaters. But, nothing makes Gene Chizik...
Bates Could Have Been NU’s Problem

Omaha native Phillip Bates was one of those highly touted Nebraska products that chose to play elsewhere. Lately, there’s been talk of Bill Callahan’s recruiting mistakes, but apparently missing out on Bates wasn’t one of them....

A year ago, Nebraska opened its conference season with a 35-17 victory over Iowa State in Lincoln. But in that game, the Huskers lost the time of possession battle by a nearly two to one margin. The Cyclones ran 102...

The Iowa State Cyclones are a team that I sometime forget about. It's just easy to overlook them on the schedule or mark them an automatic win. I hope that Bo Pelini does not make my mistake. In this AAS...

Opponent Previews 2008: Iowa State
The consensus expectation seems to be that Iowa State will finish last in the Big 12 North (Sporting News, Athlon, Phil Steele, USA Today, Lindy, etc. etc.) The silver lining for Cyclone fans is it won’t be hard to exceed...

The Cyclones made strides in 2007…just kidding. Actually Iowa State went from 4-8 in 2006 to 3-9 in 2007 under first year head coach Gene Chizik. The over-under might be 4-8 for next year too....

Huskers Thwart Iowa State

September 30, 2007 by
Yes, that headline says "Thwart". That's the right word. Look it up if you want. You could also say NU ruined, spoiled, or foiled ISU in a game where the Cyclones ran 102 offensive plays, but managed to lose by...

September 30, 2007 by
One of the more criticized Huskers last season (and through the off-season) was Cortney Grixby. Despite being a highly-touted recruit out of high school, he became the scapegoat for big pass plays in the secondary a year ago (regardless...

A look at the ISU depth chart gives you a quick sense as to why they’re 1-3 so far this season. Their offensive line is a patchwork unit with the tackle spots manned by a skinny junior college transfer and...

The third in a 12-part series on the state of the Big 12. Iowa State did the right thing in firing Dan McCarney. After some success (by ISU standards), the Cyclones began backsliding to the bottom of the conference. The...

Like most Big XII teams, the Cyclones have an offensive line with fairly prototypical size (tall and 300+ lbs.). Statistically, this group has given up a lot of sacks and hasn’t gotten a ton of rushing yards. Running back...
