Corn Flakes would tackle a Buckeye too

So been busy lately, but managed to get some mid-week articles for you happy Husker fans. Why don't we start with some volleyball?

Slow-starting Huskers roll past KU

For the first time ever, Nebraska dropped the first set to Kansas, but the fourth-ranked Huskers rallied for a 21-25, 25-13, 25-18, 25-18 win on Wednesday at the NU Coliseum.

I've been following this all week, but have been unable to post it while it blew up everywhere.

Bobcat's goal: Take down Brutus Buckeye - KansasCity.com

"It was actually my whole plan to tackle Brutus when I tried out to be mascot," said Brandon Hanning, formerly known as Ohio University's Rufus Bobcat. "I tried out about a year ago, and the whole reason I tried out was so I could come up here to Ohio State and tackle Brutus."

Well it's always good to have goals in life, and if you're going to go, go big. -JL

Chatelain: Suddenly seeing nothing but daylight - Omaha.com

Article about NU's explosive offense. It's good, but I think it ignores the planning that the coaches do for the offense. It's not just Martinez running around.

Michael Vick, Matt Schaub, Josh Freeman impressed in Week 2 - Peter King

The Cornhuskers will have another top-five pick next April, again from the defensive side: 6-0, 205-pound cornerback Prince Amukamara. Pronounced "ah-MOOK-ah-mar-ah.'' I spoke with Suh about him the other day. "He's going to be a lockdown corner in this league,'' Suh said. "He's really good.''

Unless there's not a NFL season next year, of course. Otherwise, here's to hoping Prince makes the money - JJ

Scout.com: Who's Hot ... The Week Three Hot List

Scout.com: Who's Not ... The Week Three List Of Duds

1. Washington QB Jake Locker Has a Heisman campaign ever blown up this quickly? Locker was Nebraska’s whipping boy on Saturday, holding him to 4-of-20 passing for 71 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. He did rush for 59 yards and a score, but his start has been so spotty, you’ve got to wonder if that sure-fire No. 1 overall pick next April is in serious jeopardy.

A little satire...but to a Washington fan, there was nothing funny about what the Blackshirts did to Locker... HM

5. Nebraska 3-0 Last Week: W Washington 56-21 Next Up: South Dakota State Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Playing what appeared to be a bear trap game, the Huskers authored the most impressive performance of Week 3, mauling Washington. Three Huskers rushed for 100 yards as part of a 383-yard explosion on the ground. Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Maybe Nebraska’s rather modest passing attack never catches up with it this season. We’ll know more about the need for balance once the Huskers actually trail in a game and have to travel a long distance in a short time.
