Remember a couple of weeks ago, when quite a few people (including me) were optimistic about Nebraska’s chances in the Big Ten West this season based on the logic that the Cornhuskers had the best coach-quarterback combination in the league? Well, we don’t look so smart now. The Scott Frost-Adrian Martinez connection is off to an unexpected stumbling start in…

Former coach Urban Meyer analyzes the Blackshirt defense of Nebraska and the abilities of the Huskers' starting quarterback, Adrian Martinez, in these two BTN videos. Why does @CoachMeyerOSU think @MartinezTheQB can be "exceptional"?

The good news: there were no thunderstorms in Lincoln Saturday. The bad news: There was very little thunder or lightning in the Nebraska offense Saturday. So you were ready for a big opening-game statement. So you figured Adrian Martrinez and the Husker offense would slice up South Alabama and the second-team offensive line could get some much-needed work in the…
Big plays by the defense, including two returns for touchdowns, bailed out the Huskers in their season opener Saturday against heavy underdog South Alabama. While the Nebraska offense sputtered most of the day, defensive touchdowns by Eric Lee and Alex Davis provided the winning margin. The offense accounted for just two of Nebraska's five touchdowns as another Husker score came…
It’s Scott Frost’s second season in Lincoln, but Nebraska football seems newer than ever, and excitement was at a high level on campus despite rainy Saturday morning weather. New faces bring new expectations, and my pregame question focused on Cornhuskers making their first game appearance. I asked 100 Husker fans this question before they entered the stadium for the NU-South…
It's not just on defense where Nebraska needs to vastly improve to become a Big Ten contender. The special teams units for the Huskers have bounced between below-average and atrocious for the last four seasons. Jovan Dewitt's unit struggled for the first half of the 2018 season but started seeing some improvements as the season wore on. A big bugaboo…
Travis Fisher did a remarkable job with this secondary last season. It's hard to remember now, but a year ago the lack of proven depth at defensive back was one of the biggest concerns on the team heading into Scott Frost's first season. Fisher said last years game against Northwestern was the most difficult for him. The Wildcats threw it 64…

Stopping the run has been a popular talking point among defensive players this offseason. They know they have to get better. Last year they got pushed around too often, rarely stuffed their opponents in short-yardage situations and gave up 195.8 rushing yards per game, which ranked 96th nationally. Nebraska's defense finished 107th in rushing yards per carry allowed (5.0) and…
THE REASON WHY A reader (Craig from Connecticut) sent me an email recently, opining about Scott Frost. I'm paraphrasing, "Frost didn't leave a 13-0 program at Central Florida to come to the cold climes of Nebraska just to go 7-5 or 8-4 and play in second rate bowl games each year. He came here for two reasons: to win conference…

Nebraska has all the makings of an elite offense. Scott Frost's system is dynamic, it's multiple, it's dangerous, it's explosive, it's proven. They have one of the best quarterbacks in college football, and the skill positions are deep and full of potential game-breakers.

Stanley Morgan was the most productive receiver in Nebraska football history, breaking six school records and becoming the program's first-ever 1,000-yard receiver last season (1,004). He and JD Spielman formed one of the best duo's in the Big Ten over the last two seasons. But production outside of those two was minimal. Between Morgan and Spielman, you're looking at 77…

Last season, Adrian Martinez became the first true freshman in program history to start an opener at quarterback. In doing so, he became the first freshman and just the seventh player ever to accumulate 3,000 yards of offense in a season.
