Husker Dan: Scores don't paint a pretty picture. Even though the Huskers had a bye week Saturday, there was at least one compelling game Husker fans still watched. I'm talking about Kansas State taking on the Sooners in Norman and beating them 41-34. As Husker fans painfully know, just a week ago, Nebraska was throttled by these same Sooners 49-14. Nebraska looked lost, underprepared and ill coached. But not the Wildcats Saturday night. K-State jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and hung on to give first year Sooner head football coach Brent Venables his first loss of the season. K-State ...

Dr. Rob Zatechka shows how Nebraska's defense made it way too easy on the touchdown that put Oklahoma ahead by 21-7 With Oklahoma knocking at the door on the 1-yard line, you would expect Nebraska's defense to make a huge push to stop the Sooners. Nope! In reality, a hole was so big that a semi-truck could have driven through it. In this Doc's Diagnosis, Presented by Centris Federal Credit Union, Dr. Rob Zatechka explains what happened on the play early in the second quarter Saturday and how the Sooners' Marcus Major could literally walk into the end zone virtually untouched. If this play didn...

Husker Dan: Are there more changes coming in the Nebraska coaching staff? When Mickey Joseph came to Lincoln in January he never could have imagined he'd be thrown into a coaching maelstrom like the one he finds himself in. Joseph was originally hired to shore up the receiving corps and be the Husker Associate Head Coach. But just 3 games into the season, after Scott Frost was fired, Husker A.D. Trev Alberts named MJ as the interim head coach. Before he coached his first game at NU, MJ knew the Husker defense was not very good. So what did he do? He rescinded the coveted Blackshirts that had b...

Will there be more changes after Erik Chinander’s firing? Dr. Rob and Travis Justice discuss Last week it was Scott Frost. This week it's defensive coordinator Eric Chinander who is fired. Let's be honest; this is not exactly a huge shock as many people think he should have been fired right along with Frost. The Nebraska defense was horrible again against Oklahoma, giving up 312 rushing yards and 49 unanswered points. Mickey Joseph was left with little choice as he tries to salvage a season where Nebraska is off to a 1-3 start. If there was ever a time for a bye week, this is it! Will there be...

Every week we repeat the same old litany as ten of the Husker’s last 11 losses have now come by one score or less and Frost’s record in one-score games is now 5-22. On a pleasantly cool fall evening in Memorial Stadium the Georgia Southern Eagles outlasted the Nebraska Cornhuskers 45-42 in a game that featured five ties, five lead changes and 1,217 yards of total offense. It was the second time a Scott Frost led team lost to a Sun Belt foe, after losing to Troy in 2019. On a day in which Sun Belt teams knocked off No. 8 Notre Dame (Marshall) and No. 6 Texas A&M (Appalachian State), if the Big ...

Fans have little reason to take Huskers seriously after defensive collapse against Georgia Southern The mood of the crowd as it filed out of Memorial Stadium and made its way home late Saturday night was strangely familiar, and completely out of place. As someone who’s covered hundreds of high school games in outstate Nebraska, I recognize the lighthearted-conversational feel of folks who know not to take their football team too seriously this year. Have you walked away from an eight-man game with parents who dutifully followed, and even enjoyed, the efforts of their kids, but know in their he...

Whipple: ‘We've got to finish’; Chinander: Blackshirts didn’t ‘put out the fire’ Nebraska defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said the Blackshirts’ performance Saturday was “not up to our standard at all,” while offensive coordinator Mark Whipple said his unit needs to figure out how to finish after the 31-28 loss to Northwestern. The two spoke to the media after Wednesday morning's Husker football practice. “We take great pride in this unit in putting the fire out,” Chinander said. “When we get put in an unfavorable situation, we fix it. That's life. That happens in football. ... We need to ...

Middle-Age-Ball-Coach previews the Husker and Northwestern game Matchups to Watch vs. Northwestern 1. Mark Whipple (Offensive Coordinator) vs Jim O’Neil (Defensive Coordinator) Nebraska’s new (but very veteran) Offensive Coordinator was described by his last coach (Pat Narduzzi, Pittsburgh) as being overly committed to passing the ball. Jim O’Neil’s NFL experience as a Defensive Coordinator with the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers showed a coach who was focused on stopping the passing game. Northwestern’s defense struggled mightily against the run in 2021 in O’Neil’s first year, a...

Blackshirts issued to nine players on defense ahead of opener against Northwestern Nebraska football coaches ran the Huskers through two hours of practice Wednesday, the first drills in Ireland for the team. After handing out Blackshirts to nine of his players, defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said he's looking forward to seeing how the defense performs come game time Saturday against Northwestern. "I want to see if these guys are who I think they are," he said. "By that I mean, will they play as hard as they have, can they step it up a bit? I want to see big-time effort. ... Some of these...

Blackshirts will be issued early next week, Erik Chinander says after Tuesday’s practice There are decisions still to be made at some positions on defense as Nebraska football enters the final week of fall camp. Defensive coordinator Erik Chinander said it’s a good “problem” to have at the nickel spot, where Isaac Gifford, Chris Kolarevic and Javin Wright are battling for the top job. “We’ve got the luxury right now of having some guys that can all go out there and be a starter,” said Chinander, speaking Tuesday after the Huskers’ 16th practice of preseason camp. “I think it’s a great problem ...
