Paul Velander is having a great year on offense. He is rated 2nd in the nation in turnover percentage, 6th in field goal percentage, and 14th in the overall offensive rating for all players.

Nebraska plays at Oklahoma tomorrow night. If NU can stay within 10 points, it is a good night. NU doesn't have an answer for the top player in college basketball, Blake Griffin. He is averaging 22 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. The question is: "Will Brian Diaz play and how good is he?"

Oklahoma coach Jeff Caper had a 39-27 record coming into this season at Oklahoma. He has built them back to a national power. The game will be played at the Lloyd Noble Center which has a capacity of 12,000.

As an attendee of Football 202 last year, it was easy to see that one of the major positives of the football program was James Dobson. He is NU's head strength coach. He has a great passion for his job and the players! He is taking conditioning to a new level and with another year, the Huskers will be in better shape next year.

Look for a lot of new starters in 2009 on the football field. The defensive secondary could feature a lot of different faces.

Bill Self may have committed a recruiting violation. All he did was say hello to a recruit and told him "nice game". The rules have gotten way out of hand.

Augie Garrido, baseball coach from Texas, may lose his job because of his DUI. In this era, there is little tolerance for this type of arrest.

In 1971, NU had nine players on the All Big Eight team. Assistant coaches Monte Kiffin, Jim Walden, Carl Selmer, and Warren Powers all went on to be head coaches at the college level.

Who's the better QB, Mark Sanchez from USC or Matthew Stafford from Georgia? The top pick may be Stafford and his reward? may be to get drafted first by Detroit.

Football recruiting team ratings show LSU first, Ohio State second, and Texas third. USC is fourth with Nebraska 24th. Put whatever value you want on the rankings but we all know it doesn't mean much.

Cody Glenn may be our first draft pick as scouts are pretty high on him.

This writer doesn't think Chase Daniel will get drafted!!

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BAR IN THE LEFT COLUMN. THERE IS SOME NEAT STUFF ON THERE!!!!!!!!!!
