Can Nebraska RB Rex Burkhead win the Big 10 Silver Football?

August 12, 2012 By paulmbanks

Perhaps the position with the most tradition at Nebraska is tailback. The starter this fall is Rex Burkhead, a senior who's been inspired by some of the past greats in Lincoln. "Roy (Helu) last year, he was a guy I looked up to quite a bit. He was a great player, but also a great person. Seeing how he went about his business, and his daily routine," Burkhead said. … [Read more...] about Can Nebraska RB Rex Burkhead win the Big 10 Silver Football?

Will Compton: Nebraska Cornhuskers leader on defense

August 12, 2012 By paulmbanks

will-compton

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will be without their three superstars on defense from last year: Alfonzo Dennard, Jared Crick and Lavonte David. All are in the NFL now. Even with the trio, the team's defense wasn't all that spectacular in 2011. Linebacker Will Compton may not have as much NFL potential as Baker Steinkuhler, or some of the other blackshirts, but he's the heart and … [Read more...] about Will Compton: Nebraska Cornhuskers leader on defense

Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez Continues Throwing Progression

March 28, 2012 By paulmbanks

While college students across the nation were enjoying a week-long break from the pressures of schoolwork, Nebraska's Taylor Martinez was doing something quite different. The quarterback, instead of relaxing at the beach, went back home to California and used the time to work on his throwing. Talk about commitment. Martinez worked for three days with quarterback coach … [Read more...] about Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez Continues Throwing Progression

After ending their 2011 campaign with a disappointing defeat at the hands of the South Carolina Gamecocks, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are more than happy to herald in a new season with the return of spring football. Nebraska began its spring football season on March 10 and ran three practices before ending temporarily on March 14. The season has been idle since as players … [Read more...] about Nebraska spring football: preview of the Cornhuskers offense and defense

#16 Nebraska vs. #18 Michigan: Brutally Honest Game Preview

November 19, 2011 By paulmbanks

In both the present and the future these two teams matter much for Big Ten. The loser between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Michigan Wolverines is officially eliminated from the conference title. The winner stands as the #2 should Sparty falter down the stretch, and would grab the trip to Indianapolis in place of Michigan State. That's the short term. In the long run, … [Read more...] about #16 Nebraska vs. #18 Michigan: Brutally Honest Game Preview

Penn State is “Radioactive” to Bowl Selection Committees; Big 10 Bowl Projections

November 14, 2011 By paulmbanks

"They're radioactive," a bowl official told Herb Gould of the Chicago Sun-Times yesterday. "[Bowls] wanted Joe Paterno 's last game, not a nightmare." The Nittany Lions finish the season at Ohio State and Wisconsin. The OSU game looks like a toss-up, and the Badgers will likely destroy them. That season ending tilt is looking like it'll be the Leaders division championship … [Read more...] about Penn State is “Radioactive” to Bowl Selection Committees; Big 10 Bowl Projections

#12 Penn State Nittany Lions #19 Nebraska Cornhuskers: Brutally Honest Game Preview

November 12, 2011 By paulmbanks

Penn State news that actually focuses on college football? Hhmm, yeah, we'll try. It's hard to think about football when you have a campus in mutiny due to the firing of one of the game's biggest icons. And that firing was justified because of the university's looking the other way while a defensive coordinator raped children. It's also harder to preview this game when … [Read more...] about #12 Penn State Nittany Lions #19 Nebraska Cornhuskers: Brutally Honest Game Preview

Big 10 Bowl Projections; Much Hinges on Wisconsin Badgers

November 6, 2011 By paulmbanks

When looking at the Big Ten conference standings, and trying to figure out the hierarchy for the college football bowl system, I can't help but think of one of my favorite lines from the '80s movie "Fletch." "I'd say we're in a gray area." "How gray?" "Charcoal." We do know this however- the Big Ten bellcow is still Wisconsin (get it bellcow, dairy state?). The … [Read more...] about Big 10 Bowl Projections; Much Hinges on Wisconsin Badgers
