Quick. Name all the head coaches in the history of Florida Atlantic football who have coached at least one full season and left the Owls with a winning record? The answer will appear later in this column. At this writing, it's not official that Casey Thompson is going to enroll FAU. But it's a pretty good bet he will. Last week, I wrote about Casey Thompson's recent entrance into the transfer portal. Thompson, as most Husker fans know, was the starting QB for Nebraska last season. He led the Huskers to a 4-8 record. He transferred last spring from the University of Texas and became the Husker ...

Over the past week, Nebraska has lost half of its scholarship quarterbacks via the transfer portal. It was bound to happen. Matt Rhule wasn't going to keep 6 QBs on scholarship going into this fall. No way, Wade. The question was, how many Husker QBs would leave the team? And who would they be? Losing Richard Torres and Logan Smothers wasn't a real surprise, but when last year's starter Casey Thompson also entered the portal there were some gasps heard around Huskerland. Surprising as that may seem, even Thompson's leaving shouldn't be a shock. Why? Because Casey has just one more year of elig...

Husker Heisman Edition On a cold and windy afternoon, head coach Matt Rhule took the field at Memorial Stadium for the first time in front of 60,000 Husker fans who were just as tough as the team that walked through the tunnel, weathering the conditions to watch the Red and White scrimmage. And that was the best way to describe Coach Rhule’s Huskers: tough. Rhule announced before the game that the quarterbacks would not wear green jerseys and tackling would be live, which set the tone. On both sides of the ball, Nebraska played fast and physical. Here were the pros and cons. Pros: One of the m...

Dr. Rob Zatechka shows why the 87-yard touchdown play worked for Nebraska Quarterback Casey Thompson set the tone early in Nebraska's game Friday against Iowa with a deep bomb to wide receiver Trey Palmer. The rest, as they say, is history. In this edition of the Doc's Diagnosis presented by Centris Federal Credit Union, Dr. Rob Zatechka draws up the play and shows us why it was successful. Palmer, a transfer from LSU, had another great game for the Huskers and declared for the NFL draft shortly after, ending his Nebraska career after one season with the Huskers. Get your Huskers tickets from ...

It wasn’t pretty with Purdy against Illinois, but don’t hit the panic button just yet It's official. Nebraska has a backup quarterback problem. It became painfully obvious when Casey Thompson was knocked out of the game against Illinois. Chubba Purdy came in and was 3 of 8 passing for 15 yards and one interception. On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka admits the backup quarterback situation is concerning but says don't hit the panic button just yet. He believes if Purdy had a whole week working with the No. 1 offense and getting the majority of ...

Nebraska’s offense takes rest of day off after Illinois knocks out Thompson late in first half There were no bye-week miracles, no magic from Mickey Joseph or anyone else on his staff, who found no answers on how to end a 19-game losing streak against rated teams while getting the bejeebers hammered out of them at the line of scrimmage by a physical, disciplined team. A 26-9 Illinois victory on an otherwise beautiful Saturday at Memorial Stadium provided evidence that nobody in the Cornhusker quarterback room is within shouting distance of Casey Thompson, that the Donovan Raiola experiment at ...

Mickey Joseph and players comment on challenges posed by No. 17 Illinois Nebraska is preparing for a test of its toughness in Saturday's game against Illinois, and Mickey Joseph says he has seen improvement in the Huskers' physicality. "It's gotten a lot better," Nebraska's interim head football coach said Tuesday. "I like where they are right now. It has to be up there because Illinois is a physical football team, so we have to match that physicality." The 17th-ranked Illini have one of the nation's top defenses statistically, and the offense is powered by the country's leading rusher, Chase ...

Husker QB Casey Thompson can make things happen with his feet Quarterback Casey Thompson should not be the Huskers' primary run threat, and he's not. However, more and more, we are seeing his ability to make plays with his feet, and that's a good thing. Casey does a good job of deciding when to throw the ball away and when to take off and pick up much-needed yards. On this Doc's Diagnosis presented by Centris Federal Credit Union, Dr. Rob Zatechka breaks down a Thompson run in Nebraska's game at Purdue on Oct. 15. Despite the offensive line failing the quarterback, Thompson makes the right rea...

Huskers can’t handle Purdue’s balanced offense in shootout loss It was gritty; it was enjoyable, but it was not sustainable. Despite the eye candy and the fireworks and the pile of points on the scoreboard, an old hidebound football maxim held true: the team that can run the ball and stop the run will win the game. That team was not Nebraska, which ran the ball just 23 times for 122 yards and allowed Purdue 217 yards on the ground as the Boilermakers held onto their share of first place in the Big Ten West with a 43-37 win. Purdue had an second-team all-conference-caliber quarterback, a superi...

Mickey Joseph: ‘We embrace playing in a hostile environment’ Mickey Joseph says Nebraska will need solid play in all three phases Saturday night at Purdue, where he expects a more hostile environment than what the Huskers faced last week at Rutgers. "I think the boys did a great job at Rutgers with the so-called sellout crowd," the Huskers' interim head football coach said Tuesday. "...We hope Purdue has a sellout because at the end of the day we embrace playing in a hostile environment. You know, chaos, we embrace that. Controlled chaos, we embrace that in the kids. That really gets their foc...
