Six Huskers met with the media after Tuesday’s Nebraska football practice, and a common thread was having patience with the new coaching staff after the team’s 0-2 start. “I believe it 100 percent in my heart, if we trust in this process, it’s going to happen,” said freshman defensive lineman Cameron Lenhardt. Running back Gabe Ervin Jr. said solving the offense's struggles boils down to executing. “We just have to play free,” he said, “and execute the job.” Linebacker Mikai Gbayor, who got his first start Saturday against Colorado after not playing during his first two years with Nebraska, si...

The Nebraska football season is almost here. Proof came Friday with the first "game week" press conference and the release of the first depth chart of 2023. Coach Matt Rhule and half a dozen players previewed the Aug. 31 opener at Minnesota, a Thursday night affair that's just six days away. The press conference came the morning after the Huskers held a simulated game under the lights in Memorial Stadium. Rhule said he hoped the scrimmage would essentially serve as Game 1 when it comes to the old coaching adage that a team's greatest improvement comes between the first and second games. Placek...

The running game was a focus of attention after Thursday morning's Nebraska football practice, the fourth of preseason camp. Position coach E.J. Barthel spoke of instilling a "lion mentality" in the running backs. "Lion's going to hunt. If he doesn't kill, he doesn't eat. That's the reality of how we want to run the football. Everything we do needs to be with physical intent." Offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield indicated several backs are likely to share the load in the run game. “The preference is to have Bo Jackson, but you know there’s not a lot of Bo Jacksons out there. So we’ve got ...

Take it from me, if you want to bait a Nebraska football fan into a - ahem - friendly discussion, ask them their opinion about Matt Rhule keeping Donovan Raiola on staff and take a hard line either way. If you're a regular reader of mine, then you probably know where I stood on that decision. After Mickey Joseph torpedoed his career, I felt Bill Busch was the coach who should have been retained to continue coaching special teams, with Ed Foley handling the offensive line. At the same time, I believe Matt Rhule has earned the benefit of the doubt. He and and offensive coordinator Marcus Satterf...

Quarterback Jeff Sims will play an integral role in how successful coach Matt Rhule's first season at Nebraska is, but there's no way to downplay the importance of the offensive line making significant strides from last year. The Cornhuskers could have Bryce Young under center, but if the O-line is as inept as it was last season, it won't matter much. One thing this iteration will benefit from is the offense having an identity. There is a unified vision for how this offense will operate. For the first time in far too long, everyone will be on the same page. What does that mean? First things fi...
