Senior Night Goes Right

It was by no means a sure thing. When Kansas State opened with a field goal drive you were concerned. When Zac Lee missed a wide open Mike McNeil in the end zone, you were aggravated. When Lee threw an interception with NU in easy field goal distance and up just one score, you were...

This week, the Huskers are playing a one-game playoff for the Big 12 North Division Championship. If playing Kansas State to win the division wasn't enough of a throwback, the Huskers have shown some sparks on the field in Power sets. The rushing attack has proved to be that something...

Closing the Deal

This week is about closing. Nebraska showed they can close out a game with the way the finished at Kansas. They needed to make some plays offensively and they did in a big way. Saturday's game will be no different. The division is seemingly on NU's racket. Hold serve at home...
With a title on the line, can Nebraska be perfect?

So here we are. One game to separate them all...or at least Nebraska and Kansas State. If Nebraska wins, they get the North title in an ugly year, credit for rebounding from some October setbacks for the second consecutive year, and more prized momentum in the race to become a perennial...
Nebraska and Kansas State Go Back to the Future

From 1991 to 2000 the Big 8 champion or Big 12 North champion was always either Nebraska or Kansas State. That might be giving the Wildcats too much credit as their share of that run was just a pair of division titles in 1998 and 2000. Nevertheless both the schools, the faces (Bill...

Those of you who read this blog regularly know that we try to be fairly even handed and fair when it comes to our discussion of Husker opponents. Sure, sometimes it gets a little chippy. But, for the most part that is all done in good fun. But, for a few reasons I have a certain amount...

I'm already starting to feel sorry for TCU. Nobody seems to be playing better football than the Horned Frogs right now. They have a truly multiple offense--pro sets, Wild Frog, spread, whatever it takes--the offensive playmakers to make that style work, their usual stout defense...

By now every fan knows that the winner of the NU-KSU matchup this week is the Big 12 North champion and will likely face the Texas Longhorns who need a win in just one of their two remaining games (or an Oklahoma State loss) to win the Big 12 South. Since winning the division is the...

I've got to admit, this was a week that had me both apathetic and worried at the same time. After such an emotional game last week, I wondered how our team would be able to respond to a team that many consider to be underachieving. Kansas has the pieces and the talent to be dangerous...

The Huskers had gone four straight weeks with 13 offensive points or less. NU averaged less than 240 yards in the last five games. Kansas has had their own struggles as they averaged under 290 yards in their last three games and had at least 3 turnovers in each of the last four games...

The Oklahoma game really brought on an influx of recruits. Seeing dominant performances from so many of our defensive players, along with the great atmosphere, really was a huge draw, bringing in our 11th-16th recruits. The major atmosphere this last weekend needs to be captured more...

Hey there, I'm back with another fairly random edition of Husker Up for you all. This time, the motivation struck me because NU fans need to gird themselves for a big stretch run in November. The Huskers' goals are intact and the opportunity is right there in front of them...

There are certain annual traditions we observe here at the Big Red Network. Prior to the Super Bowl, we release a prediction in the form of Haiku. We release a blogpoll ballot throughout the season, we produce a pocket guide for games, and when Kansas week rolls around we make a statement...

Of all the good things to come out of the win over Oklahoma last Saturday, none of them may have been better than this quote from recruit Jay Guy: "I don't know if you watched the game, but the Nebraska defensive line is ridiculous. I think Nebraska can take me to the next...

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...

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 was a Pac-10 uprising this week in the BlogPoll. There might not be a better conference top to bottom in the country right now. Oregon's loss essentially ends any chance of having a national title contender and that will hurt their status overall as a conference. But, in a year...
Oklahoma Post-Mortem

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...

Nebraska versus Oklahoma is never a small affair in Lincoln. Even if the teams aren't rivals, even if a national title isn't on the line, it means something to the fans of both programs. And while the action took center stage on Saturday night, it may ultimately be the visiting...

This week's game was going to be the ultimate barometer of where the Huskers stood in their second season. Going into the season, it looked like the toughest game on the schedule. Even if the Sooners aren't the same team they were a year ago, they still recruit well, are coached...

The news this week sure has been interesting. If so many people are complaining about the lack of prominence involved with the NU-OU rivalry the past couple of years, then why has this game received so much coverage from local, regional, and national media? The fact of the matter is...
