Winter Press Conference With Matt Rhule Though the season may have ended only a few weeks ago, Husker football has been busy with recruiting and players returning to campus.  We have had a slew of transfer portal commit’s and even found out that Heinrich Haarberg is not only an amazing athlete on the football field, he can dunk with the best of them.  The story lines and news coming out of Lincoln seem to never end and we are here to fill you in with every detail of whats going on with Husker Football and other athletics. On saturday February…

Power Shifting in College the Football Landscape SEC, it just means more?  Right?  Well now you might want to produce more, cause meaning more doesn’t really matter at the moment. Isn’t it funny now that schools can legally pay players that the SEC has lost its grip on college football? For many years the college football world has had to sit back and listen to sports media and an oddly arrogant fan base beat the drum of the SEC to death.  The best conference in college football they would proudly proclaim, also one of the most sketchy and penalized conferences…

Pinstripe Bowl Prediction Merry Christmas Husker nation!  I  hope that you all are enjoying the holidays with your friends and family, and of course a Husker bowl game.  Nebraska is set to face off against Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl in New York’s Yankee Stadium, the first matchup between the two schools.  This is the only bowl game this year that has two former NFL Head Coaches in a matchup this season in Matt Rhule, and Bill O’Brien, and this game certainly could resemble that of an NFL game.  At first when you think of Boston College you don’t…

Post Season Press Conference With Coach Rhule On Thursday December 12th, Nebraska Head Coach Matt Rhule held a post season press conference where he discussed some things that happened during the season, what is going on with the team now, and what we could expect to potentially see in the future. Here is a recap of what Coach had to say: – Coach opened up the conference by saying that the Huskers had 91 players eligible for academic All- American, with special not to Bryce Benhart for doing it a fifth time – The search for a full time secondary…

Wisconsin Postgame Press Conference NEBRASKA IS BOWL ELIGIBLE!  For the first time since the 2016 season the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be going to a bowl game.  And the sweetest part about this win was that it was Senior day against Wisconsin, who we haven’t beaten since 2012.  The offense looked strong and physical upfront, pushing around a stout Wisconsin defense to the tune of 180 yards rushing.  Raoila looked like he regained his confidence and playmaking abilities going 28/38 for 293 yds, 1 Td, and 0 int’s.  The defense didn’t have its best game of the season, but held Wisconsin…

USC Postgame Press Conference This now makes 4 straight losses in a row for the Nebraska Cornhusker Football team giving them only two more chances to reach bowl eligibility for the first time since 2016.  The story of the game seemed to play out very predictably for most Husker fans, Nebraska had opportunities to win but was unable to capitalize, the Ref’s had some more than questionable missed calls (Pass interference), and the ball just seemed to bounce USC’s way today. After the game Head Coach Matt Rhule held his usual postgame press conference, here are some of the highlights…

Bye Week Press Conference With Coach Rhule As we head into the bye week many Husker fans are still feeling the sting of a gut wrenching loss at home to a 2-5 UCLA team under a first year head coach.  It was the kind of loss that seems to continue the trend of Nebraska taking one step forward, only to take two steps back the next week.  The defense which has been the strong point for the Huskers most of the season seemed to be on its heels against a largely anemic UCLA offense, and the Husker Offense continues a…

Post Ohio State Press Conference There is no other way to say it, today stung.  But I  have to say as a whole I  am surpised with how much better Nebraska looked today vs last week at Indiana.  For the first time in a long time we had a field goal kicker make 3 long field goals of 39, 56, and 47 yards which kept us in the game and in a position to potentially win at the end.  But the Huskers just were not able to get it done this Saturday.  There are still many things this team needs…

Rutgers Post Game Press Conference Robby Hamberg Husker nation lets take a minute and rejoice that the Huskers are off to a 5-1 start with wins over what appears to be a better than initially thought 4-1 Colorado, and a 5-0 Rutgers.  We can all momentarily breathe a sigh of relief that Nebraska was able to hold on to a one score lead late into the 4th quarter due to a strong showing from Brian “Boomschini” and the defense.  This may not have been the kind of game you wanted to have against Rutgers, but this was the kind…
