Official Nebraska Cornhuskers Football Thread
New coach, new era, returning to the roots of Husker Football. I don't get to follow the Huskers as much as I used to but I'll be glad to talk about them if this thread is active.
Nebraska fans, I know you are out there...
Hopefully, we'll be seeing magazine covers like this one again in the near future.

We have an old one from last season in the directory, but this is fine.
I'm anxious for the Bo Pelini era to begin more than anything. There will be rough patches along the way of course, but with Lucky finally becoming the key part of the offense, this team can succeed. Hell, the lack of a fired coach who's name shall not be named essentially means the team will be better than last year.
There will be a battle going on this Saturday against Western Michigan. We should win with the game being in Lincoln, but I expect WMU to come to play.
Irish, that Tommie Frazier cover gives me chills. I miss those days so much.

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised at any loss Nebraska receives this season -- the defense is a long way from being where it needs to be.
Like c_f said though, just removing Callahan and Pederson from the equation has immediately improved the chances of the team -- for the immediate and long term future.
Pederson can go ruin some other school's football tradition.

i really think our O-line will push some people around this year and with Lucky running behind it, we should be a running team. Ganz i think has a lot of potential and swagger to be a very good QB, but has very little at the TE position and nothing more than average college receivers starting.
the defense is verrry scary (not in a good way). obviously pelini will help but how much talent do they have? i really hope that pelini starts to develope his younger talent, starting this saturday. there aren't many quarantees on the schedule this year, and i HATE mediocrity, but i'll be happy......gulp....... with a bowl game this year. the schedule has Va Tech, Mizz, Okla, Tex Tech, and Kan (and maybe Kan St.). all those games, nebraska will more than likely be the underdog.
GOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIG REEEEEEEED
Go Big Red!

Good win to start out the season. Sounded like Cody Glenn played amazing, finishing with 12 tackles in his first game ever on defense. Alex Henery was awesome, kicking field goals from 44, 44, 43, & 44, and improving to 12/12 kicking in his career. Lucky, meh, got a touchdown but averaged under 4 YPC. Ganz played good outside the picks on back-to-back possessions. All in all, very good start to the Pelini era against a good Bronco team.

as much as i'd like to give nebraska praise you have to be scared about that defense. the front 4 got absolutely NO pressure. if they cant get a pass rush without blitzing...watch out. with the passing powerhouses of mizzou, tex tech, oklahoma, and new mexico state, the defense could be torched for 400+ passing yards a game. i'm optimistic though and 1-0 sounds good to me!
next week should be a 30 point win vs san jose st. i'd really like to see nebraska establish a dominate running game.

GO BIG RED!!!!!
Exciting game, we got off to a good start then we declined and looked pretty bad in the last half, We should have whooped up on Western Michigan, But we didn't the running game was horrible but Ganz looked like an absolute stud.
Now i right now live in the heart and soul of Cornhusker Country, only 20 miles from Lincoln, unfortunatly, i was at the state fair working the tractor pull, but the guys had the huskers on tv, but i was to tired to watch, however from the talk of them today when i worked at the pull again, They were not to happy, and most of the fans i talked to were dissappointed in the defense, and lack of running game.
But it was the first game of the season and i think that Bo, will have this team ship shape in no time.

Yeah Ganz looked real good, made some nice plays with his feet and his arm. The defense still is aways from blackshirt level, but i'm sure it will improve over the year.
Yes i'm an Oklahoma fan but, pretty much my hole family is from Nebraska so i do watch a lot of Nebraska football.

All i gotta say is, with Joe Ganz, Nate Swift, Marlon Lucky, Quentin Castille, and Alex Henry, we have an offense that can run with the best of them, if our defense can step it up Nebraska can have a very good season.

How did he looked in the first game of this season?
I have big expectations for this kid, he has a lot of those tools you want to see in a runningback. Good behind the backfield, caught a lot of balls last season etc.
I just hope he can continue to develop as a senior before he heading to the big league. Nebraska got theirs own roughdiamond in him and he won't let them down. Hopefully Bo P. can turn this team to success, I wish you guys of Big Red Nation luck for this season!  |

he wasn't very impressive running im afraid but had two very nice catches, but quentin castille looked worse, as far as that goes, the o-line didn't generate much of a push and that didn't help either, or the fact that Western Michigan stacked the box, Lucky was 12 carries, and 43 yards, and 1 td, he also had 2 catches for 35 yards and another TD

Thanks for the information, I haven't the possibility to watch all games and specially Nebraska which is a big shame. They have to meet some of the big contenders then I might have a fair shot at it!
