Apparently the #3 graded CB in the B1G, per Sean Callahan on Twitter. Get Tommi up to speed and we will feel pretty comfy about corner play the rest of the season.

At this point is there anything Nebraska can do. I saw multiple holding calls not called. Obviously submitting terrible calls to the Big Ten is not having any effect. We had more problems than the non holding calls. I just think at this point we prepare the team to get ****ed by the officials.

The latest on a lot of big names here:

Won this game. Fire Foley tomorrow!! Paging Bill Busch. This special team's garbage is inexcusable!! Oh and Go Big Red!!

Can’t wait to see that offense against our blackshirts! Go big red!

Nebraska is tied for 13th in turnover margin with a +6 margin.

This year through 6 games:

4 TO’s
10 TO’s forced
+6

Last year though 6 games:
13 TO’s
6 TO’s forced
-7

Incredible turnaround by staff and team - keep it going boys!

More importantly … 5-1 vs 3-3 last year! GBR!

Press release via Husker Athletics:

Nebraska junior middle blocker Rebekah Allick was named Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, the Big Ten Conference announced.

It's the second time Allick has received the honor this season after also being named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 2.

Allick averaged 2.00 blocks per set to go along with 2.17 kills per set on .455 hitting in the Nebraska's sweeps of Illinois and Iowa last week.

At Illinois, Allick played a huge role in shutting down the Illini with nine blocks, and she also put down four kills on .300 hitting. Allick took over in the third set as she was involved in scoring NU's final seven points. Against Iowa on Sunday, Allick posted three blocks with nine kills and hit .583 as the Big Red held the Hawkeyes to .155 hitting.

It's better than:

#1 Alabama who lost 40-35 to unranked and 2-2 Vanderbilt
#4 Tennessee who lost 19-14 to unranked and 3-2 Arkansas
#9 Missouri who lost 41-10 to #25 and 4-1 Texas A&M
#10 Michigan who lost 27-17 to unranked and 3-2 Washington
#11 USC who lost 24-17 to unranked and 2-3 Minnesota
#22 Louisville who lost 34-27 to unranked and 4-1 SMU
#25 UNLV who lost 44-41 in OT to unranked and 3-1 Syracuse

We beat a team that was regarded higher than all those winning teams except Texas A&M, Considering what has happened this week in college football, I'm pretty darn happy with our win over Rutgers. Throw in Miami barely escaping from Cal and it was an exciting week of college football capped by a quality win by Nebraska.

“Mary Weatherholt was the first singles All-American in the history of Nebraska women’s tennis. She earned her spot among the nation’s elite tennis players in 2013 when she was the national runner-up.”

WRITE IT DOWN!

“Who was the woman hired to take over the Nebraska rifle program in 2021 after she spent two seasons as a Huskers assistant coach? She is a former All-American at TCU and a USA Shooting National Team member.”

Did he play today ??

Are they still going to RS? Both have played well, I think they've played multiple games.

I did not think the defense would be able to keep Rutgers in check. I really thought they would control the clock with quick passes and rushing.

The defense stood tall won this game today. I expected a 10 point loss today. The team deserves a week off and collect themselves. Good job boys.

Who won?

In the six games we have played so far, we have scored 30 total points in one half (average 5ppg) and 138 total points in the other (average 23ppg). To look at it another way we've scored 30 points in 12 quarters and the other 12 quarters we've scored 138 points. Here's the break down

vs UTEP 30 points first half..10 points second half
vs CU 28 points first half..0 points second half
vs UNI 21 points first half..13 points second half
vs Illinois 17 points first half..7 points second half
vs Purdue 0 points first half..28 points second half
vs Rutgers 14 points first half..0 points second half

In three of our games we have gone scoreless in three halves (CU, Purdue, Rutgers) and scored a lone TD in one (Illinois). The two game we scored more than once in both halves were against juggernauts UTEP (10) and Northern Iowa (13).

Summation: We need to fix some things and figure out how to put 4 quarters together. If we can I see us 8-4 and maybe 9-3. If we can't we may have to scratch and claw to be 6-6.
