Husker Dan: Husker “Frostration”

11/4/19 | Husker Dan
 I feel sorry for Scott Frost - not financially (he has a 7-year, $35 million contract that pays him over $400,000 a month).  But had he said no to Bill Moos in 2018, Frost probably would still be leading his Central Florida Knights to perhaps another successful season and looking to go to another good bowl game.  He and his…

Stryker: Martinez, Huskers giving away everything gained last year

11/2/19 | Tad Stryker
Back in August, Nebraska was a narrow favorite for the Big Ten’s West Division title, and Husker quarterback Adrian Martinez was one of the main reasons for that line of thought. Man, does that ever seem like a long time ago. The Cornhuskers’ gut-wrenching 31-27 defeat at Purdue — Scott Frost’s eighth one-score loss at Nebraska — was the latest…

Husker Dan: Frost’s Own Will Change the Culture

There were many "memorable" moments that plagued the Huskers Saturday when they hosted the 5-2 Indiana Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium.  We all saw the dumb mistakes NU made most of the afternoon including a shanked punt that sailed a whopping 19 yards and gave Indiana the ball on the Husker 35 yard line, the absence of a consistent pass rush,…

Stryker Report: Blackshirt downturn requires further Husker fan patience

10/27/19 | Tad Stryker
It was a day of black shirts. But not a day for the Blackshirts.

Stryker Pregame Perspective: Who will carry the ball?

10/26/19 | Tad Stryker
As the Nebraska football team comes off its first bye week of 2019, Husker Nation is faced with many more questions than answers. NU is 4-3 and has scored only one touchdown apiece in its last three games. Injuries and suspensions have reduced coach Scott Frost’s options on offense. Today’s Pregame Perspective question takes aim at the uncertainty. On a…

High expectations at Nebraska? Grumbling from fans after early struggles? This is nothing new for Scott Frost. After all, this is a guy who took over for Tommie Frazier.

Stryker: Huskers needlessly embarrassed by Gophers

Heading into a bye week, Scott Frost said he wanted his team to empty the tank. But I don’t think he meant before the opening kickoff.

Husker Dan: A B1G, Big Win for the Huskers!

9/24/19 | Husker Dan
I had a chance to visit Sunday morning with former Husker assistant and current Director of Player Development, Ron Brown, about what he thought was the feeling of the team after Saturday's 42-38 nail-biter win over the Fighting Illini. "Whew!" was his response. That pretty much sums up the feelings of most Husker fans, too.  What is important to remember…

Stryker: Four-D defense slams door on Northern Illinois

9/15/19 | Tad Stryker
It may be a bit much to call it the “Big D Family Reunion,” but the Davis brothers and the Daniels brothers stood shoulder to shoulder to accomplish a rarity for a Husker defense these days — keeping the opponent out of the end zone all game long. Nebraska found a bit more more offense during the first-ever night game…

Husker Dan: Have Husker Fans Drunk Too Much Kool-Aid?

After two weeks of inconsistent play, Husker fans might be wondering what is going on with the team and what is going to happen to the Husker football team this fall.

Stryker: Belief in Frost, Martinez takes big hit in Colorado loss

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…

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…
