For the first time since 2016, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be facing the Iowa Hawkeyes with six wins on their resume. Sure, you can say that it’s a small accomplishment, but the Huskers have not had this luxury in a very long time. Fresh off a 44-25 win over the Wisconsin Badgers, Nebraska looked like a completely different team offensively in just the second game since Dana Holgorsen took over at offensive coordinator. The Huskers totaled 473 yards of offense behind dominant performances from Dylan Raiola, Emmett Johnson and more. The Hawkeyes are coming off 29-13 win over the Maryland…

Nebraska has the chance to completely change the outlook of their season as they head into a key late November matchup with the Wisconsin Badgers. The Huskers last defeated the Badgers in the 2012 regular season, as Nebraska was able to overcome a 27-10 third quarter deficit to defeat Wisconsin 30-27. Not only would a win erase a 10 game losing streak against the Badgers, but would solidify the Huskers into their first bowl game since 2016. More than 30 seniors will walk during the Seniors Day Ceremony this Saturday, so this game should mean a little more. The Huskers…

The Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Wisconsin Badgers find themselves staring at the same problem heading into their matchup on Saturday in Lincoln. Sitting at 5-5, both the Huskers and Badgers are desperate for some sort of excitement to end their seasons. Nebraska has been down this road plenty of times before, as their currently facing a seven season bowl drought, the longest active bowl drought in the Power 4 of the ACC, Big 10, Big 12 and SEC. Wisconsin on the other hand, has not missed a bowl game since 2001, so their 5-5 record doesn’t sit well with many…

After a very eventful week, the Huskers are ready to make the trip to Southern California to take on the USC Trojans. These two very storied programs have not played each other since the Trojans beat the Huskers 45-42 in the 2014 Holiday Bowl, just weeks after the firing of Bo Pelini. The Huskers will be looking to snap a few different streaks on Saturday. A win and that seven year long bowl game drought is over. A win would also mean the Huskers would get their first ever victory over the Trojans, as USC leads the series 4-0-1. Both…

When it was announced that Nebraska and USC were going to face off in week 11 of the college football season, it was seen by many as a game that could “potentially” have college football implications on it. Fast forward to present day, and both the Huskers and Trojans are now fighting to just make it to a bowl game. It clearly hasn’t been the season that any of these respected fan bases have hoped for, but next Saturdays matchup between the Huskers and Trojans in Southern California, is a key game for both sides if any team wants to…

Early Tuesday morning, Nebraska announced they we’re hiring former Houston and West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen, to be an offensive consultant on the Huskers staff. The move came just three days after the Huskers disappointing 27-20 home loss to 3-5 UCLA, where the Huskers were unable to produce any sort of sustainable and consistent offense against what was a bottom half of the country defensive unit in the Bruins. Now if the name Holgorsen and Nebraska sound familiar, it’s because Holgorsen was spotted at a Husker wrestling match back in early January, where the rumors started about the possibility…

After back to back weeks on the road against AP top 25 opponents, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are set and ready for a return to Memorial Stadium this Saturday against the 2-5 UCLA Bruins. The Huskers are coming off a disappointing, yet promising loss to the #4 Ohio State Buckeyes 21-17, a week after getting blown out by the Indiana Hoosiers 56-7. who are now 8-0 and rank #13 in the country. The Bruins are bringing momentum into Lincoln this weekend, as quarterback Ethan Garbers accounted for five total touchdowns while beating Rutgers 35-32 before heading into their bye week. It…

The Nebraska Cornhuskers and the UCLA Bruins are set to play each other for the first time since the 2016 Foster Farms Bowl, where Nebraska took home a 37-29 victory to finish out first year head coach Mike Riley’s season. The last time these two teams met in Lincoln was in 2013, and that was a far different ending. The 23rd ranked Huskers jumped out to a 21-3 lead over the 16th ranked Bruins, vibes were high and Memorial Stadium was loud as the Huskers were wearing their blackshirt themed alternate uniforms. The Bruins proceeded to score 38 straight points…

The Nebraska Cornhuskers were defeated by the #4 Ohio State Buckeyes, 21-17 in an outcome that I’m not sure anyone across the country expected to see. The Buckeyes were fresh off a bye-week, and entered Saturday as a 25 point favorite to a Huskers team that was completely ripped apart against a now 8-0 Indiana Hoosiers team. Pretty early on, the Blackshirts defense made it difficult for Ohio States offense, including a fourth and one stop by M.J. Sherman. The Buckeyes quickly found some momentum late in the first quarter, scoring the games first points on a 40-yard touchdown pass…

Another week, another ranked road game in the Big Ten for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Huskers travel to Columbus, Ohio to take on the #4 Ohio State Buckeyes, fresh off a bye week after a crushing 32-31 loss to Oregon the week prior. Nebraska on the other hand, was pummeled 56-7 by Indiana, who now ranks as the 13th ranked team in the country. It needs to be said, that the vibe around this Nebraska team right now feels low from a fan standpoint, but why should it? We all would’ve loved to have started 5-2 during any of the…
