In the aftermath of a tumultuous week for Nebraska, Bo Pelini, and QB Taylor Martinez, it looks like sophomore QB Cody Green will get the start for Nebraska’s season finale against Colorado for the Big 12 North championship. Pelini cited turf toe in Martinez’ left foot and a sore right ankle that will keep the shifty QB sidelined for the must win Colorado game. This will be Green’s second start of the season (4th career start) who is coming...
The first part of this Iowa news series received such a warm reception by Hawkeye Nation, hopefully part two promises more of the same. Apparently, Hawkeye football in Iowa is more popular than corn subsidies. Iowans from Sioux City to Waterloo either left comments or shot-off emails, sticking up for their head coach, with some using a few choice words to do so. Nonetheless, I would not expect any different from any true college football fan in coming to the aid and defense of their...
As Nebraska prepares for its last season in the Big 12, head coach Bo Pelini is keeping a tight wrap around the progress of preseason. To limit distractions, yesterday Pelini announced that practices will be closed to the media until the weekend. He did not give any particular reason but one can suspect he wants to exit the conference with a bang and doesn’t want the next couple of days leaked to the public. He also suggested that he was...
The Nebraska faithful have reason to worry as their top receiver can’t seem to stay out of trouble. This past weekend, senior WR Niles Paul was picked up for possession of alcohol by a minor and urinating in public in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska.

He was immediately arrested,...

On Wednesday, coach Bo Pelini informed the media that Okafor left the team on his own accord. It is presumed, that Okafor left because he was deep in the depth chart behind junior fan favorite Roy Helu an frosh sensation Rex Burkhead. Okafor did not speak of his intentions, but for Pelini, this is his second back...
Dr. Bob breaks down Nebraska: Former Nebraska defensive coordinator Bo Pelini was brought in as head coach after a disappointing 2007 season under Bill Callahan, whose final team was very good offensively (6.3 yards per play against teams that would combine to allow 5.2 yppl to an average attack), but went from good to horrible defensively, allowing 6.1 yppl to a schedule of mostly good offensive teams that would average a combined 5.7 yppl against an average stop unit....
Nebraska’s legs just took a hit this weekend. Coach Bo Pelini dismissed Quentin Castille from the Cornhuskers. Per the norm, Castille’s dismissal was for violation of team rules. Pelini is a strict enforcer of team rules and believes everyone on the team must abide by the rules regardless of where the player stands on the depth chart. “It’s pretty black and white my expectations and what we lay out as a staff, and if someone doesn’t follow those policies...
