Huskers return home as 7 favorite over UCLA

Needless to say this is a must WIN game for Nebraska and Matt Rhule and his staff.

Tough part about losing the bucknuts game was the squandered opportunities we had not to mention the pathetic play calling again by Safferfield..And I’ll leave the terrible officiating on a scoring drive that we were hosed on for another thread.😡

GBR!

This defense pisses me off

How many damned gaps in our coverage are we going to leave? It's absurd. Tony White needs to figure this shit out or we will be a two to three loss team every year simply because of the defense. Of course I know our offense is putrid. That opening drive was terrible. But we gave up over 100+ yards to UCLA on the first two drives. I know Butler is new this year but come on coaches get your shit together.

Speaking of OCs...

Well-written article on PSU's OC Andy Kotelnicki, and how he's changed the game for them:


It has taken Franklin 6 tries to potentially get it right, but he was willing to make changes, so credit to him.

Volleyball Game Thread ***FINAL: #2 Nebraska SWEEPS #7 Wisconsin, first win in Madison in 11 years

***UPDATE***

There it is!

FINAL: #2 Nebraska SWEEPS #7 Wisconsin (25-21, 25-22, 25-19) on the road. Incredible.

The Huskers (21-1 overall, 11-0 Big Ten) win in Madison for the first time in 11 YEARS as they sweep the Badgers (15-5, 9-2) in a Top 10 national showdown.

Will Nebraska be ranked No. 1 in the country on Monday? Certainly will be under consideration. But Pittsburgh (51 first-place votes in latest Top 25) swept Virginia tonight and will certainly beat Virginia Tech (7-14) on Sunday just like Nebraska (9 first-place votes) will certainly beat Northwestern on Sunday.

So...we'll see!

Big one coming up tonight, boys and girls. I'll re-title this later today to make it the live game thread. But, for now, some updates from the Husker VB account + presser videos of John Cook, Andi Jackson and Bergen Reilly previewing the Nebraska-Wisconsin showdown are all ITT.

Hope the offense breaks out today

Hope this is the game were that last block is made, just that last little bit of execution that has been needed finally happens and the offense breaks out and looks good. Raiola hasn't had a great game, maybe today is the day, 300 yards, multiple TDs, 100 yard WR, 200 yards rushing from the RBs. Sure would take some pressure of the defense and help set up these last 4 games to be wins.

Football Hartzog likely out this week for UCLA game

According to Matt Rhule, starting DB Malcolm Hartzog Jr. will likely miss the UCLA game with a hamstring injury he sustained late in the game at Ohio State.

"Malcolm's doing his best to get back but I don't think that he will."

Rhule said he's still not sure if Tommi Hill will be able to play. He didn't practice Tuesday, practiced "a little bit" on Wednesday.

Big week for redshirt freshman Jeremiah Charles, who backed up Hartzog at corner against the Buckeyes.

"We're planning on Jeremiah to start," Rhule said.
