Nebraska signed a pair of promising slot receivers in the 2023 class with Jaylen Lloyd and Jaidyn Doss seemingly having bright futures ahead. The staff continued to stockpile the position by adding Bellevue West standout Isaiah McMorris. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound McMorris - who is related to former Huskers Ahman Green and Niles Paul - is one of the state's best three-sport athletes. He's one of the top sprinters in the state with PRs of 10.65 (100m), 22.65 (200m) and 7.07 (60m), while also being a member of the 4x100 relay team. McMorris has also jumped 20' 10.75" in the long jump. He's also a ...

In the last few years, I've been handing out midseason grades of the Nebraska coaching staff. (Here's 2021 and 2022). It's an interesting exercise to evaluate how the assistants, coordinators, and head coach are doing in four key areas. These grades are intended to be a reflection on what I've seen through the first half of the season, as well as providing a reference post for future review. MethodologyWhen I grade coaches, I look at four key areas: On-field performance. How is their unit playing? Are they a bright spot, weakness, or somewhere in between?Improvement. Has the overall unit (and/...

Nebraska sits at 0-2 and finds itself in a position where it needs to win six of its remaining 10 games to reach a bowl game for the first time since the 2016 season. To do that, the Huskers will need to win at least four conference games, something else they haven't done since 2016. The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of an offense that has lacked cohesion and has failed to demonstrate any kind of identity. When Matt Rhule put his staff together, I highlighted three coaches who I was skeptical of - at least initially. I've softened my stance a bit on wide receivers coach Garret McGuire....

With Zavier Betts gone and Marcus Washington injured, there are opportunities for Nebraska's younger wide receivers to step up. "We have some young wideouts who are very talented and explosive, and they're going to get a chance," offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield said after Monday's practice. True freshmen face a daunting learning curve, but two of them in particular have caught Satterfield's attention: "You look at Jaylen Lloyd and [Jaidyn] Doss, those guys have made some plays." Satterfield also elaborated on the offense's struggles during Saturday's scrimmage. "Those young kids got i...

Nebraska's struggles building up its wide receiver room have been well chronicled. Even with the transfer portal, it's not something that can be rectified in one offseason. Thanks to six new additions from the 2023 recruiting class, the numbers are getting better, but proven top-end talent is still lacking for the most part. The team lost three receivers to the portal after spring ball, with junior Alante Brown's attrition coming as a bit of a blow. Brown left the team in February, but the door had been open for a possible return. Instead, a week before the Red-White game, Brown put his name i...

Huskers enter final two weeks of spring drills with practice No. 10 Eleven days before the Nebraska football spring game, coach Matt Rhule said the format for the annual scrimmage in Memorial Stadium is still being decided It comes down to numbers of available players at various positions, Rhule said after Tuesday's practice, but "we're planning on playing a game. ... My goal is for it to be a competition." In recent years when numbers have been an issue, an offense-vs.-defense format and special scoring rules have been used. A scrimmage scheduled for Saturday will provide a chance to assess h...

The media had their first chance to speak with Bob Wager and Garret McGuire The last two assistant coaches on Matt Rhule's staff were introduced today. Tight ends coach Bob Wager and wide receivers coach Garret McGuire spoke to the media for the first time Thursday. Wager led off the dual press conferences. Wager, an incredibly successful Texas high school football coach, said he had previous opportunities to coach at the college level before, but the timing with his family and other factors were never right. Wager called the opportunity to coach at Nebraska “different" from those in the past....

But history has shown that new Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule is no slouch at selecting collegiate assistants Yesterday I summarized the job that new Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule has done so far and did an overview of his coaching beliefs. If reading it gave you a Kool-Aid mustache, that's understandable. Like I admitted yesterday, I love the hire for Nebraska. So everything must be sunshine and roses, right? Rhule has a reputation for remaking programs with his approach - and his success speaks for itself. He's afforded the benefit of the doubt, at least initially. It's my stance to...
