The Nebraska Cornhuskers face an all too familiar foe on Senior Day as they welcome the Iowa Hawkeyes to Memorial Stadium on Black Friday for the 15th edition of the Heroes Game, a series that has been dominated by the Hawkeyes ever since the Huskers stepped foot in the Big Ten.  The Huskers have a chance at finishing the regular season 8-4, which would be a first for this program since 2016, but they’ll have to show better effort and execution than we saw last weekend in State College.  The Nittany Lions dominated from start to finish in route to…

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are set for a tough road game inside Penn State’s Beaver Stadium this Saturday night against a Nittany Lion team that is coming off their first victory since September 13th.  It has been a crazy season for Penn State, one that they would certainly like to forget considering that the Nittany Lions started off the season ranked #2 in the AP poll with their sites set on the National Championship.  After starting the season 3-0, the Nittany Lions would go on to lose six straight games, including back to back games where the Nittany Lions were at…

Coming off an emotional and all too familiar finish for the Huskers in their 21-17 loss to #23 USC last Saturday, the Huskers head out west to take on the UCLA Bruins in the Rose Bowl.  The Huskers looked to be in a good spot against the Trojans in the second half, leading 14-6 with 12:04 to play in the third quarter, before starting quarterback Dylan Raiola went down with what we now know is a season ending broken fibula.  True freshman quarterback T.J Lateef was tasked with replacing Raiola and like any true freshman making his third career appearance…

For the first time since 2016, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have clinched bowl eligibility in the month of October and now have a golden opportunity this Saturday night against #23 USC to get themselves back in the College Football Playoff conversation.  The Huskers got a much needed victory last Saturday against the Northwestern Wildcats, winning 28-21 behind a solid performance from junior running back Emmett Johnson. Johnson ran for 124 yards and two touchdowns, marking the fourth time that Johnson has ran for over 100 yards in a game this season and increased his season rushing total to 839 yards, which…

Coming off an ugly and inexcusable 24-6 loss to Minnesota last Friday night in Minneapolis, the Huskers would love nothing more than to have an easy conference team at home ahead of them, but that will not be the case this weekend against a 5-2 Northwestern Wildcats team who is riding a four game winning streak.  Nebraska looked out of it from the jump against the Gophers and they carried that weight with them for the remainder of the game.  The Gophers sacked quarterback Dylan Raiola nine times, two more than the previous amount given up by the Huskers offensive…

For the first time since 2016, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are ranked in the month of October and will travel to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers this Friday, amid a heavy news filled week back in the states capitol.  The Huskers will be wearing their “surrender white” uniforms under the lights this Friday as they look to snap their six game losing streak against Minnesota.  Led by head coach PJ Fleck, the Golden Gophers enter with a record of 4-2 and 2-1 in conference play with wins at home over Rutgers and Purdue and a 42-3 road loss…

After one of the weirdest and wackiest games the Huskers have been a part of in quite a while, Nebraska was able to pull away late against Michigan State and in essence, now control their own destiny in a somewhat wide open Big Ten Conference.  Is it fair to describe this Saturday’s matchup against the Maryland Terrapins as a season defining game for the Huskers? With what is ahead on the Huskers schedule, it sure feels like it.  Many would’ve considered the Huskers October 17th Friday night matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers to draw more concern out of the…

After a much needed bye week following a 30-27 loss to Michigan back on September 20th, Matt Rhule and his Huskers feel like they have something to prove and will get that opportunity as they host the Michigan State Spartans this Saturday afternoon.  As is the Huskers, Michigan State is also coming off a bye week after their 45-31 loss to #25 USC, but don’t let the Vegas Sportsbooks fool you, Nebraska may be an 11.5 point favorite but the Spartans actually match up pretty well with the Huskers and should be in this game until late into the fourth…

The Huskers, fresh off a much needed bye week, will be in for a good challenge this Saturday afternoon, as they host the 3-1 Michigan State Spartans.  Led by head coach Jonathan Smith and an excellent young quarterback in junior Aidan Chiles, the Spartans started off the season with three straight victories over Western Michigan, Boston College (in 2 OT) and Youngstown State, before losing to #25 USC 45-31 back on September 20th, a game in which the Spartans gave up 523 yards of offense.  The defensive performance this season has not been pretty for the Spartans and Huskers quarterback…

#21 ranked Michigan heads to Lincoln to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers in what some people around here are calling the biggest game in the last 10 years of this program.  The 3-0 Huskers battled their way through the Cincinnati Bearcats and have shown no mercy against their non-power four opponents, winning by a combined score of 127-7 against Akron and Houston Christian.  That level of domination is something that the Huskers have not shown in recent years against lesser opponents, it is clear and obvious that “Matt Rhule Year Three” is taking its effect and it couldn’t have been set…
