Nebraska Cornhuskers Season Review: Special Teams

John Papuchis’s squad had some early season struggles, but also some early season bright spots. Unfortunately, due to the excellence that the team enjoyed in the early season, the return units did not do as well as they would have liked. Let’s take a look and some good, and not so good spots. Nebraska’s special teams unit had quite the busy game against the Fresno...

Fyfe an intriguing prospect at QB

Ryker Fyfe's decision to walk-on at Nebraska won't be the most high-profile decision in the final days before signing day, but it certainly is intriguing. More so than most walk-on QBs anyway. Why? Because, technically, he's listed as a "pro-style" QB. You don't see many of those coming out of Nebraska. And, lately, you don't see many of those coming...

How much does Nebraska spend on coaches?

The Omaha World-Hearld posted Nebraska's 2012 coaching salaries on Friday. The brief rundown is this: John Papuchis gets a 50 percent raise to $300,000 for his promotion. Almost every other coach gets a $20,000 raise except for Ross Els, who gets a $50,000 bump in pay, and Corey Raymond, who gets no raise. Make of that what you will but Raymond was already at $200,000, the highest...

Will the 2012 Class Live Up to 2007?

When it comes to recruiting, you're perpetually seeking to raise the bar on talent for your team. If the incoming class is inferior to the one you recruited 4-5 years ago, then presumably your overall talent declines. A decline in talent would presumably be evident on the field as would an improvement. The easy way to compare classes might just be to count stars or recruiting...

Osborne: Frank Solich needs to be honored by Nebraska

Current Ohio coach Frank Solich lasted six seasons at Nebraska in the unenviable position of having to follow in the footsteps of the great Tom Osborne. Despite a 58-19 overall record in those six seasons, Solich was shown the door by current Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson after Nebraska went 9-3 during the 2003 regular season. Now,…

Fixing Nebraska’s Cornerback Issues

For Nebraska, the 2011 season and 2012 recruiting class can be defined by one position - cornerback. Forget quarterback play. Forget the need for additional linebackers. The Husker fortunes have risen and fallen with their corners. A "Bo Pelini Defense" needs great cornerback play, something that was missing for large stretches of the season. Now, finding and landing cornerback...

No. 21 Huskers are humbled in 1st Big Ten season

Nebraska was the popular pick to end its inaugural Big Ten season with a Rose Bowl berth. After losses in three of its last five games for a 9-4 finish, the Cornhuskers might not make the final Top 25. The No. 21 Huskers' 30-13 loss to No. 10 South Carolina in the Capital One Bowl on Monday cost them a third straight 10-win season. It also started a long offseason of hand-wringing...

A List Of Alshon Jeffery's Accomplishments In The Capitol One Bowl

South Carolina defeated Nebraska 30-13 Monday, but the story inside the story was the story of Alshon Jeffery. So maybe more like a chapter. Whatever. I just wanted to see how many times I could write the word "story" in a single clause. Here's what Alshon was able to achieve on Monday. Continued his rather portly look: Had a fantastic catch for a touchdown...

Turning the page to 2012

In case you missed it yesterday the Capital One Bowl went something like this: "Damn." Nebraska, probably the fourth best team in the Big Ten, didn't get pounded by (probably) the fourth best team in the SEC. That was the good news. The bad news was that the Huskers decided to chain smoke exploding cigars in the second half, winding up with more penalty yards than offense...

Do the Husker Problems Start at the Top?

Nebraska’s loss was nothing less than ugly today. There is no way around it. A game in which Nebraska easily could have, and perhaps should have, won was instead turned into an ugly loss. How ugly was it? Nebraska’s star cornerback, Alfonzo Dennard, was ejected from the game for fighting with Alshon Jeffery. So does this problem start right at the top with Bo Pelini? You bet...

No. 21 Nebraska can't overcome miscues in Cap One

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini stressed the importance of his team avoiding in the Capital One Bowl the same self-inflicted mistakes that held back the Cornhuskers in their first year in the Big Ten. Instead, Nebraska's postseason was much like its regular season. Alshon Jeffery had four catches for 148 yards and a touchdown before getting ejected for fighting, and No. 10 South Carolina...

South Carolina’s Jeffery named Capital One MVP in spite of ejection

South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has a reputation that precedes him. One of the country’s most talented, and raw wideouts, Jeffery is also a hothead who tends to let his temper get the best of him at the worst possible times. Jeffery certainly didn’t make today an exception, as he turned in a solid performance in South Carolina’s 30-13 victory over...

Capital One Bowl: Nebraska Defensive Keys to Victory

Nebraska’s defense has not lived up to expectations this season. A unit which returned Jared Crick, Lavonte David, and Alfonzo Dennard never quite performed consistently. David and Dennard played well this season, but Crick got injured and only played a handful of games. Nebraska’s matchup  with South Carolina presents a challenge for this defensive unit. South Carolina has...
