I would suspect Kentucky, but they've already stolen a QB from us and he's starting for them. Several SEC powers will need to replace a QB after this season. How much will it take to get AC to leave Lincoln? $4M? $5M? Let the bidding begin. He does have an issue with height that might make him...

One step closer to a Premiere League with maybe 64 teams that play for a championship. One step closer to post-seasons resembling the NFL. Regular season games will have less meaning, so teams will be willing to upgrade their schedules to bring television better matchups to promote. FCS schools...

Nebraska 35, Oregon 28 TO=409 yards

Doc, in addition to Fairbury, we have another thing in common: one of my Dad's many odd jobs to earn his way through the University of Nebraska in the 1940s was to serve as a stadium usher. He claimed he once seated the governor of Kansas (Alf Landon, who lost in a landslide to Roosevelt in the...

I was five years old and had just visited my father's native Nebraska for the first time that summer. The team went undefeated that fall and earned a trip to the Orange Bowl to play Alabama. We lost and they tell me I cried about it, but I don't remember. The next year we lost to Alabama again...

Sarcasm. It's a service I provide.

1. People need to ease up on Cunanan. Remember, it takes a good snap, a good hold, and then a good kick. We're back to having operational problems on these kicks and that must stop. A good kicker is important, but so is making the most of red zone opportunities -- scoring touchdowns. That's one...

I hope I'm wrong, Doc, I really do... but this team is still so mistake-prone. If there is a blizzard of penalties like we saw against the Terps, this game will be another blowout loss to Indiana. I'm thinking they'll cut down on the mental errors and make a game of it. But the window of...

Indiana 31, Nebraska 21 TO=344

I still remember the fun we had when Rozier and Craig were in the backfield at the same time. Roger and his brother Curtis were Iowa imports who added lofty dimensions to the offense. Roger is on the short list of most successful NFL Huskers. Sad to read about his diagnosis. Happy to read he...

^^^^^^ This! Braun and his staff are solid, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Northwestern in a bowl game this year. I still have a lot of doubt about Chiles, but he showed in the second half that he is a capable (but inconsistent) QB. Full disclosure: I have a degree in journalism from...

I watch this at least once a week. They seem fairly balanced -- don't get too excited if we win and don't sprew doom and gloom if we lose. I also like Husker Doc, but you need to shuttle through all the craft beer talk sometimes.

Maryland 20, Nebraska 38 TO=407 yards

1. As a native Michigander, I would have preferred to beat a full-strength Spartan team. It's unfortunate their best offensive player and best defensive player were injured and out. But we were mostly without Jamal Rule, so there was pain on both sides. Here's hoping everyone heals and re-enters...

Nebraska 21, Michigan State 17 TO=401 yards

Beat Michigan State, Maryland, and Indiana, and Nebraska will probably move close to the top 10. I don't think that will happen. But my point is if we win, these poll numbers will take care of themselves.

The tradition continues with Will Stein. He got Minchey to tell Kentucky how much Nebraska had offered and upped the bid to bring Minchey to Lexington.

I hope you're right. But I am expecting calls from Kentucky. :(

1. Rhule said schematically, North Dakota was a very difficult team for which to prepare. They don't have FBS talent or depth, but they did present problems that had to be solved -- good experience for the more difficult games ahead. 2. I viewed this as a classic trap game, and I thought there...
