Report Card: South Carolina Gamecocks 30, Huskers 13
Oh, what a frustrating game for Nebraska fans. On one hand, you can say that Nebraska was just a handful of plays from taking a commanding lead over South Carolina in the Capital One Bowl. The blocked extra point, the Ameer Abdullah fumble, and the Taylor Martinez interception just before halftime...
Report Card: Huskers Nowhere-Near-Enough, Michigan Wolverines Way-Too-Many
Boy, did this suck. I could go into more detail, but the bottom line is that this game absolutely sucked. The defense played less horrific than the offense, which was less horrific than the special teams. And after Nebraska's third conference loss of the season, Nebraska looks even further away...
Report Card: Huskers 17, Penn State Nittany Lions 14
We wondered it last week, and after the game, Bo Pelini came out and said he didn't think this game should have been played. But the game went on, and other than the broadcast, it doesn't appear there were any incidents. We'll still debate whether it was the right thing to do, but it's become clear...
Report Card: Northwestern Wildcats 28, Huskers 25
Once again, we're left to figure out where things went wrong. Was it a hangover from a big victory the week before? Maybe, but I don't think that completely explains it. Was it another example of a Bo Pelini-coached team losing their annual hairball game? I don't see that trend; what was the game...
Report Card: Huskers 24, Michigan State Spartans 3
"Inconsistency has been the hallmark of Nebraska's 2011 football season. At times, the Huskers have looked like the team that prognosticators rated in the top ten in the preseason. But those times, such as Nebraska's third quarter against Washington, first quarter against Wisconsin, and fourth...
Report Card: Huskers 41, Minnesota Golden Gophers 14
While Nebraska dominated Minnesota in the first half, I think that was more "Minnesota's that bad" than "Nebraska's that good." Truth be told, the Huskers played well at times. For one thing, we saw fewer defensive breakdowns than we had in any other game this season. Bo Pelini thought he saw the...
Report Card: Huskers 34, Ohio State 27
You have to believe that throughout the Big XII and Big Ten regions, the snickering and guffawing had to be epidemic around halftime. The Huskers trailed Ohio State 20-6, just one week after getting blasted by Wisconsin. Is Nebraska going to jump conferences again? Maybe the Big East is more...
Report Card: Huskers 17, Wisconsin Badgers Way-Too-Many-More
Saturday night sucked. Royally. There, it's been said. When I started these report cards in 2007, we had a bunch of report cards like this. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. We even had one in 2008 after the Missouri game. But I had hoped that we had moved past this. ...
Report Card: Nebraska 38, Wyoming Cowboys 14
One day following Nebraska's victory over Wyoming hasn't done much to change my thoughts on the game. Nebraska won - beat the betting spread even - but left me wanting more. I get the feeling that the coaching staff has a good handle on the situation. Doesn't mean they are pleased with where the...
Report Card: Huskers 51, Washington Huskies 38
Remember just two weeks ago when we were worried about the offense and pleased with the defense? Now we've got the opposite concerns. The Husker offense looked dominant, but the defense had some issues against Washington...mostly in the fourth quarter. Let's give credit where credit is due:...
