This is a post that could have been written in the pre-season, or 3 weeks in to the season. In fact, I have re-outlined it many times over the course of this campaign so far. But his efforts versus Oklahoma Saturday night (and the prospect of what he might do down the stretch) make it the exact right time to declare my feelings in full. The simple fact is that I heart Roy Helu. He represents the heart and soul of not just the Nebraska offense in 2009, but also what most fans want the NU players and team to be like in the Pelini coaching era. Drag the Plow, Roy Folks, lets just be clear about one thing. Nebraska's offense will go as far as Roy Helu Jr. drags it. Never mind that his shoulders are messed up. Never mind the fact that the two fellas best able to aid him are either off the team (Castille) or hurt (Burkhead). Hule is head and shoulders Nebraska's best offensive player. Statistically, his 806 yards and 6 touchdowns don't exactly paint the whole picture of ...

Can the Huskers Gut it Out for Three Games?

Via Big Red Network  |  November 11, 2009
Nebraska fans have had plenty to worry about, if they wanted this year. While the whole offense has been a concern, specifically the health of Roy Helu has been the barometer for how well the offense will perform. When Helu is limited the whole offense is limited. Because of those limitations, there's also some concern about relying on the defense too much. The 87 snaps against...

Nebraska Not Great, But Good Enough to Contend in Big 12 North

Via FanHouse  |  November 09, 2009
by Terrance HarrisFiled under: Nebraska, Big 12The resemblance to the old Blackshirt defense is there, but make no mistake -- this isn't your father's Nebraska Cornhuskers. Still, in this current cycle where parity and mediocrity have met to transform the mightiest of college football programs into mere mortals, these Cornhuskers are good enough to be part of the Big 12...

Oklahoma Post-Mortem

Via Big Red Network  |  November 09, 2009
The standard equation to win games was definitely in play on Saturday night. Win the turnover battle + run the ball + stop their run + stout defense = win. OK, so we got too many penalties, and didn't get more than one third down conversion, and we didn't take advantage of Roy Helu Jr's biggest run of the night, and countless other offensive woes crept in the whole...

Wild Finish At Alamo Bowl

Via The Sportz Assassin  |  November 09, 2009
"Throw it over your shoulder!!!!" That was me shouting at the Wolverine player who was being tackled out of bounds on the final play of the Alamo Bowl. Up to that point, Michigan was finishing off a choke job that netted Nebraska a 32-28 win in San Antonio. With 8 minutes left in the game, Nebraska had a long kick return, a long TD run, a takeaway, and a TD pass to take...
