You don't "Burn" your redshirt year if you play unless you're a 4th year player, haven't redshirted, and play more then 4 games. Any of the freshman now who don't redshirt this season can redshirt in any of the subsequent seasons. They're just are not taking their redshirt this season.

If they're good enough to have a significant role as a true freshman, then they're likely not going to stay for a 5th season unless they get hurt and use their redshirt during the season they get hurt.

Markowski Named Preseason All-Big Ten for Third Time
Huskers.com

Nebraska's Alexis Markowski captured Preseason All-Big Ten honors for the third consecutive season when the conference announced its annual awards on Thursday, Sept. 26.

Markowski, a 6-3 center/forward from Lincoln, Neb., was one of 10 players across the conference's 18 teams to earn preseason recognition from both the Big Ten coaches and media. She also earned preseason All-Big Ten honors as a junior in 2023-24 and as a sophomore in 2022-23, after being named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year following the 2021-22 season.

A two-time Lisa Leslie Award candidate, Markowski claimed first-team All-Big Ten honors at the conclusion of a 2023-24 season when she led Nebraska to an appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Markowski, who led Nebraska with team-best averages of 15.7 points and 10.5 rebounds while starting all 35 games for the 23-12 Huskers in 2023-24, produced 19 double-doubles a year ago to push her career total to 40. She has matched Husker first-team All-Americans Kelsey Griffin (2006-10) and Jordan Hooper (2011-14) for Nebraska's career double-doubles record.

Markowski earned a spot on the 2024 Big Ten All-Tournament Team by averaging 16.5 points, 11.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists over four games, including 23 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in the Big Ten Championship Game.

She enters the 2024-25 season just 44 rebounds away from becoming the sixth player in school history with 1,000 career rebounds. She is 324 rebounds away from Janet Smith's more than 40-year-old Nebraska career rebound record (1,280). Markowski, who had 369 rebounds last season, is also within striking distance of one of the top-five rebounding totals in Big Ten Conference history.

Markowski, who earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore in 2022-23, owns 1,363 points entering her senior season.

USC's JuJu Watkins was the only unanimous choice of both the coaches and the media to earn preseason All-Big Ten honors. The sophomore guard was the preseason Big Ten Player of the Year by coaches and media.

The coaches and media were also in agreement on the top five teams in preseason voting, beginning with No. 1 USC, No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 4 Maryland and No. 5 Indiana.

Markowski and 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Natalie Potts will join Nebraska Head Coach Amy Williams at Big Ten Women's Basketball Media Day in Rosemont, Ill., Wednesday, Oct. 2. Live coverage of the event will be provided by the Big Ten Network.

So when Favre was testifying before congress about welfare fraud in Mississippi… did he choose that time to talk about having Parkinson’s to throw them off his trail?

Nebraska at Purdue Prediction, Game Preview
by Pete Fiutak, CollegeFootballNews.com

Purdue is having a rough time.

It got obliterated by Notre Dame, pounded on by Oregon State, and it's going to be tough finding a win the rest of the way -- the team will almost certainly be the underdog in their last nine games.

Purdue has to figure out how to jump all over Nebraska right away.

This is the first road game of the season for the Huskers, but they have to get over yet another close loss -- this time to Illinois -- that's slowed the roll of the jacked up Nebraska fans.

Nebraska (3-1, 0-1) at Purdue (1-2, 0-0)
Saturday, September 28 - 12:00 PM (ET) - Peacock

Why Nebraska Will Win
There was a time not all that terribly long ago when Nebraska had the most fearsome rushing attack in all of college football.

The Big Red Machine steamrolled over everything in its path, Husker running backs were superstars, and the brutally methodical way it all worked made the program a superpower among superpowers.

If Nebraska decides to give that a try, it'll look like that this week.

It's hard to keep running when you have a quarterback like Dylan Raiola under center, but the Huskers pounded away 47 times in the opener over UTEP.

It got away from the the ground game, only ran for 48 yards against Illinois in last week's loss, and ......

......Purdue has allowed 703 rushing yards over the last two weeks to Notre Dame and Oregon State. Give #15 the day off by letting him hand off.

Why Purdue Will Win
For all of the issues and concerns with the Boilermakers, the plays in the backfield are there.

They have a decent pass rush, and they come up with tackles for loss -- they just can't hold up against the run on a consistent basis. But with the Huskers it's more than that.

It's the first Nebraska road game of the season. As much as they all like to say the past is the past, what did the team do last week?

It dropped a close game.

The first three -- including the win over Colorado -- were breathers. If Purdue can get a little bit of the time of possession back on its side, keep this close, the later it gets that Husker collar will get........

What Will Happen
......there won't be any problems for Nebraska.

It'll run, but it'll come up with a good offensive mix to offset a few Purdue first half scoring drives.

There will be moments when Purdue will have a shot to take over in the second half and make this a game, but will stall.

The Nebraska running game will take over from there.

Prediction
Nebraska 34, Purdue 17

Spread
Nebraska is favored on the road by 10 points. The over/under is set at 47.5 points.

Quick Rhule presser today before the team heads to Purdue.

> There will be several game-time decisions
> Gunnar Gottula likely getting the start at left tackle
> Rhule thinks the 74-man roster limit for away conference games is fair
> Purdue linebacker Kydran Jenkins
> Rhule continues to like what kicker John Hohl has shown in practice
> Rhule wants to see more players get reps in the defensive backfield, and an update with Blye Hill
> Rhule on players opting out after four games in college football

This Tropical depression that looks like will be forming into a hurricane headed for the Florida panhandle Thursday sometime is modeled to push up into the Ohio river valley region by Saturday morning. Could be wet around gametime at Purdue from it. Keep us informed @IndyHusker if it starts drifting your way

Will update this thread with the full rundown later tonight, but thought I'd start this right now and add in the kicker update for Purdue from Rhule.

The head coach said John Hohl will be the guy at Purdue. As for Tristan Alvano:

"Tristan is still out. Will probably be a couple weeks for Tristan."

This is the first time I have been aware that this is a thing in Holland. Three posts that I scrolled through this afternoon/evening of the people there that commemorate the start of Market Garden to liberate them. So cool to see what they do, one had young kids at every headstone of a para trooper that was lost there placing flowers. And this is a bit more upbeat but cool none the less. Yesterday marked that day for them.

Anyone else having trouble opening article on the Nebraska site home page? Getting "offsides" or "the article is not available" messages? Thanks in advance.

Run game continued to look solid at stretches, wish we'd stick with it more

Fidone is SPECIAL

we caught every punt LOL - kicking & special teams needs WORK - we need a kicker bad

Anyone have a couple extra tickets for this game? Going to be staying down at Newport Beach that week.

Trying to avoid secondary market if possible.

at the expense of the Mountain West, it seems

unfortunate to lose another great conference in an attempt to salvage one that's already lost
