Nebraska will play tough today!
Bo Pelini likes a challenge. It doesn't matter who we play. Coach Pelini, I don't think, would care if we played the No. 1 team every week. He likes to complete. He doesn;t like to lose. That's just the way it is. He is a competitior. We wouldn't want anything less.
Nebraska is not following their team to Orlando this year in great bunches. I would guess it is because they don't want to travel to a game that they feel we will get slattered. It is too soon after the Big 10 Championship to get excited that we could pull off an upset.
But I think there will be some fans that wished they would have went to the game. I think it will be a close competitive game. Our offense will score some points. So will their's. Turnovers and penalties will be key. Will Georgia approach the game like we have the past two bowl games?
Nebraska has some NFL type players. More than Nebraska has. One of ours is not playing, Baker Steinkuhler. But the best players don't always win, Ask Texas. Maybe the best talent in the nation but they lose a lot of games.
Burkhead is back. He has averaged 7.2 yards a carry. Abdullah is our season's leading rusher with 1,089. Brandon Heard has a 6.7 yard average. Probably should play more. Taylor Martinez is always a threat with 973 yards tushing this year. The offensive line has played pretty well this season. They have a huge challenge today as Georgia's defensive line is very good. We will see at times maybe two down linemen but they will be sending more.
Martinez has completed 62.2% of his passes. Nice improvement. This is less than his goal of 70% but that was a nice goal but 62% is ok.
Kenny Bell is our top receiver with 46 catches for 803 yards. Enunwa has 40 catches and Jamal Turner is turning it on late in the season with 29 catches and 395 yards. Kenny Bell has 8 TD's which is by far the most.
On defense, Will Compton leads the Huskers with 101 tackles and Daimon Stafford has 89. PJ Smith (79), Alonzo Whaley (63), and Eric Martin (56) follow in tackles. Martin is the King in tackles for losses with 16.
Aaron Murray will be the best passer we have seen this year. He will play in the NFL. Nebraska has played against a bunch of NFL quarterbacks such as Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, Josh Freeman, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, and RG3. Aaron Murray will join them in the NFL in a year or two.
He has hit 65% of his passes for 3,564 yards. This compares to Martinez's 2,700 yards. Todd Gurley leads their rushing attack with 1,260 yards and a 6.3 average. Keith Marshall has 723 yards with a 6.6 yard average. As good as or maybe better than the Huskers.
Malcolm Mitchell has 40 catches for 572 yards ande Tavames King has 39 catches for 846 yards and a 21.7 yard average. Kenny Bell has a 17.6 yard average.
The Georgia defense is let by Alec Ogletree with 98 tackles. Shawn Williams has 87 tackles. Watch out for Jarvis Jones who has 77 tackles but has 22.5 tackles for losses. That's 6.5 more tackles for losses than Eric Martin.
Georgia is good. This isn't the most exciting game for them as they come off a loss to Alabama by three points which would have allowed them to play for the National Championship.
Nerbaska plays a great game. Makes it close. The prediction is:
Georgia 31 Nebraska 24

UNO women start Summit League play
I love the underdog and have become interested in the UNO women's basketball team. They are 8-2 and expected to finish last in the Summit League this year but they are playing good ball. UMKC 4-9 was expected to finish second in the league. They play tonight in KC and I will be interested in how they compete.
The NU basketball team may have a new starting lineup. They are looking at moving Talley to point guard and getting Shevon Shield in the game in place of Parker to give them a bigger lineup and offensive weapons. Some teams have played off of Peltz and a little bit on Benny Parker.
Georgia is still favored by ten points. I look to a game that will be closer than that.
Matt Brodine has signed with the practive squad with the St. Louis Rams.
Frank Solich's Ohio team plays today at 1:00 vs. Louisiana/Monroe. Ohio is seven point underdogs. They had a rash of injuries at the end of the year and lost some games.
Georgia runs a 3-4 defense and many times there will only be two down lineman so essentially it goes to a 2-5 defense. I bet they test our offensive line with some blitzs. We will see how the tight ends and the rest of the line handle this.
Aaron Murray will be by far the best throwing quarterback we have faced this year. He doesn't run, which is good for NU, but he will play in the NFL with his throwing ability.
Lets hope defensive juco tackle Ben Bradley agrees to go with NU today. We need lots of depth at that position. We need some high school players to develop also.

Osborne always remained calm.
Rob Zatechka, former member of the NU pipeline had this quote in the Kearney Hub tonight.
“Someone asked Osborne why he never cut loose emotionally. I remember Osborne making the point that if the players see you losing emotional control, whether good or bad, they’re going to lose emotional control, and that’s where you see games spiral out of control.”
Sad news today as Josh Jones announced he will not suit up for Creighton anymore because of his heart ailment. Josh Jones will find a way to make a contribution to society. Maybe coaching or a mentor to the young......he will find a way.
Steve Nash will turn the Lakers season around. He is that good and he is very unselfish.
Nebraska men's basketball player Deverell Biggs has been cited on suspicion of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident in Omaha last weekend.
Five Texas Longhorns made the Pro Bowl. How does Mack Brown do it? Keep his job that is.
The Huskers have arrived in Orlando. They have their first practice there tomorrow. Look to the Huskers to have a good game and keep it close.

Merry Christmas to all!
I would like to take this time to wish you all a Merry Christmas!! We are very Blessed. Pray for those that are having struggles through the loss of a loved one, or a loved one is sick, or pray for those that are lonely.
Every year, well-meaning but misguided people the world over spend $8.6 trillion on unwanted Christmas gifts. The amount of money wasted on Christmas gifts could greatly reduce all global debt and rebuild the devastated infrastructure of every Third World country.
Never thought of this one!! I had a discussion with an individual that thinks that if we switched our allegiance and contract with Adidas and went with NIKE, Michael Jordon, or Under Armour, we would do more for recruiting than all the facilities we have buildt. Their theory is that the uniforms and sportswear that is used at a college attracts the attention of athletes looking for a college more than the facilities we use. We should probably look into this. I would be curious to know what the athletes really think.
The Nebraska basketball team is rated #204 by the Pomeroy ratings. They are rated the lowest of all other Big 10 teams. Look to Nebraska to win at home against Penn St. and then pull off one or two upsets to end up with around three games in conference play.
Go see the men or women basketball teams this season. If nothing else, on the men's side, is you will see some great teams and athletes in the Big 10. Many will go on to the NBA.

Nebraska to win in a close one tonight!
Nebraska needs a win!! They should get it tonight against Jacksonville St. Nebraska is rated 204th and Jacksonville St. is 234th in the Pomeroy ratings. Jacksonville has a tough defense. I look to Shavon Shields to break out tonight with a nice game.
Nebraska wins 52-48 in a very low scoring affair But they should get the win!!
Gary Anderson of Utah St. may be the top candidate for the Wisconsin job. Will Bill Busch go with him. He is presently the defensive coordinator at Utah St. and he is a former asst. coach at Nebraska.

Nebraska/Creighton prediction!
The Huskers will see tonight where they stand in college football going against Top 20 team Creighton. Creighton is very talented. Nebraska has the home court and is rated 179th by Pomeroy. Creighton is 19th although other polls has Creighton as high as 13th in the nation.
Nebraska meets its match tonight. My head says Creighton 74 Nebraska 66. My heart says "Go Huskers!!!"

Nebraska basketball is doing well!
The Nebraska men's basketball team played a nice game versus USC. USC took several runs at the Huskers but this year they seem to stay with it and keep the lead. They have seldom had long scoring droughts like they have had in the past.
Brandon Ubel lead the team with seven rebounds and four assists adding nine points. Ray Gallegos is the real thing. He had his second 20 point game and has added a shooting touch that Nebraska hasn't had for a while. He scores 32% of the points in this game.
Dylan Talley had a nice game but far from his best. He has been the most consistent player on defense.
Andre Almeida is a blast to watch. Sometimes he looks a little clumsy but he has some real nice plays on offense and defense. Benny Parker continues to contribute and Mike Peltz is improving each game with more playing time. Shavon Shields looks very athlectic and when he gets completely health and gets a little more game time and think he will start to be a big factors in the upcoming games.
This was Nebraska's sixth game at home this year and they have averaged a five point margin in those games. Nebraska actually beat the spread by 14 points.
When the season started Nebraska was rated 216th in the Pomeroy ratings. They have now moved up to 177th. They are headed in the right direction.
The Big 10 is freshishly good this year. The next team up the later is Penn State at 131 and then you go up quite a ways before you find the next team.
Nebraska plays Creighton Thursday night and I would expect a full house for this one. Creighton should win by 10 or so but we will see how good Nebraska really is that night.

Georgia and USC
Nebraska didn't do so well Saturday night. Many turned off the tv so they didn't have to watch Wisconsin run all over us. Let's give credit to Wisconsin who named former Nebraskan Bart Miller, their offensive line coach, early after the season started. Chase Rome said that the Wisconsin offensive line was the best NU had faced this season and they were very well coached.
Our weaknesses were not a surprise. We are 95th in the nation in rushing defense. Then we lose Baker Steinkuhler who I think is as good or better than Jared Crick. This kid is good and we definately missed him Saturday night. We are 105th in the nation in turnover margin. That negative trend continued on Saturday night.
I wonder how many yards Taylor Martinez would have had if he played against the NU defense Saturday night. Martinez is only 360 yards short of 4000 total offensive yards in 2012.
Let's look at the positives. Nebraska won six games in a row to earn a chance to the Big Ten Championship. They made us proud. Nebraska is one of four teams in the nation to win nine games each of the last five seasons joins Alabama, Oregon, and Boise St.
Georgia will be a tough contest. They are ranked 5th in the nation and was worthy of playing in a BCS bowl. Georgia won the SEC East and should of won the championship last Saturday against Alabama who is playing in the National Championship game.
The game will be at noon on January 1st in Orlando, Florida. ABC will televise the game.
Georgia is led by junior quarterback Aaron Murray, who is second in the nation in passer rating and has thrown for 31 TD's. On defense they are led by LB Jarvis Jones. The pass defense has only allowed 120 yards passing yards a game. WOW!
Nebraska basketball (men) goes again at home tonight vs. USC. USC has three seven footers. Their record is 3-3 this year under head coach Kevin O'Neill. Kevin Kugler and BTN will televise the game at 7:06.
My prediction is NU 54 USC 53. Yes, a very close game. Should be a blast!!
Almeida is shooting 84% in the last four games. NU has won the last three contests in the last three years by a total of eight points. Nebraska's 51 points in the second half against Wake Forest was the highest point total since 2004. Nebraska's margin of win on the road by sixteen points was the alrgest since 2003.
Shavon Shields should make his second appearance of the year tonight. We need him!

With Rex Burkhead back and Steinkuhler and Jackson out, it should be an interesting game. Nebraska will be the stronger team and will win out 27-23 over Wisconsin!

Huskers Top Wake Forest, 79-63
One of the most surprising and finest wins I can remember for a while. Huge win against an ACC in their house. It was a really fun game to watch. Join in on the fun and we will see you Monday night in Lincoln against USC.
Nebraska is moving up but still doesn't have a lot of respect as they are rated No. 200 in the Pomeroy Poll.

Nebraska football!
On a blustery cold day and Nebraska down 7-3 at half at Iowa, Nebraska had lost two of their best players in center Justin Jackson and defensive lineman Baker Steinkuhler. Our defense was getting killed on 1st and 2nd down. Without some sensational plays by Eric Martin, we could have been down another touchdown. Iowa had recovered two of Nebraska's fumbles and Nebraska, except for their first time consuming drive of the game was lifeless.
But in the second half Nebraska got some help from Superman. Rex Burkhead entered the game. Rex Burkhead was a huge factor in Nebraska's win. Ameer Abdullah had replaced Burkhead very well but I had forgot how good Burkhead was. He is an NFL type player. He is fast, strong, and powerful.
Alonzo Whaley had his best half of the year and had a key interception. Looked like one of those plays that Pelini knew where it was going and Whaley was ready. Whaley led the Huskers with 11 tackles. And how about Chase Rhome. He had his best game ever. He stepped up to replace Steinkuhler and was key to the victory. Crazyman Eric Martin is increasing his value to possibly get drafted. He is playing real well.
And let's not forget about mark Pelini who took over for Justin Jackson. No missed snaps and some nice blocks.
Who thought Ben Cotton would be the leading receiver and Kenny Bell and Jamal Turner wouldn't catch passes. And we still won. Abdullah and Martinex neither one would have more than 50 yards rushing. Superman.
Burkhead had 70 yards on 16 carries in the second half. He scored the winning touchdown. He was inspiring. He was Superman.

Illinois will now be annual game!
Sounds like Nebraska will have Illinois join the West division with Maryland and Rutgers going to the East Division. Will this addition help Nebraska recruiting. We will see. There are a lot of Nebraskans in the New Jersey and Washington DC area. Should be great for them!
The Nebraska basketball team will have their biggest challenge on Wednesday night. Tulane can play basketball. They are expected to win 20+ games this year.
I see another very close game with Nebraska 56 Tulane 55.
Tonight the Nebraska women play in Lincoln against 1-2 Sam Houston State. They won't be easy but the Husker women should get one in the win column.

Nebraska's record goes to 2-0. UNO is next on Sunday.

Nebraska basketball runs into a formidable opponent!
Thursday night at 8:00 pm Nebraska will play a team that won 20 games last year. Valporaiso was 22-12 last year and lost in the Horizon League finals by Detroit who played in the NCAA tournment.
They are expected to win close to 20 games again this year.
In a rating system I follow, Valporaiso is rated 96th with Nebraska coming in at 216th. Valporaiso is 2-0 this year and they also won both exhibition games they played in.
Tomorrow night will be a close game but look to Nebraska to get beat 70-67.
I am a Nebraska fan but to look at the Big 10 this year, wow!! From top to almost the bottom the Big 10 is strong. Nebraska may not win a game in the Big 10. I hope they do a lot better than that. But the rest of the Big 10 is WAY ahead of Nebraska. Look for Nebraska to go about 7-23. Anything better than that is exciting.
Hopefully I will see you at the game tomorrow night!!

It won't be until 2021 but Nebraska has scheduled two games with Oklahoma in 2021 and 2022. In 2021 Nebraska will travel to Norman and 2022 its to Lincoln. Should be fun. A lot of things can change before then but the fans will love the game.
Deverell Biggs will redshirt this season for the NU men's basketball team. Freshman Shavon Shields will be out two to three weeks with an elbow injury. Nebraska only has seven scholarship players with Shields hurt.
Cornerback Antonio Bell is no longer on the NU football team due to a team rule violation.
P.J. Smith, Tim Marlowe, Rex Burkhead, and Mike Marrow all sat out practice on Monday.
Remember this name. Sam Burtch. He is a walk-on who has impressed the coaching staff at wide receiver.

The Game 7:32 to go 4th and 1 down 24-14
Nebraska had driven to the 39 yard line of Michigan St. but got held down on three plays for a total of nine yards. It was go time for Nebraska. It was 4th and one. Nebraska was down 24-14. There was 7:32 left in the game.
Nebraska went old school and line up in the I formation. Abdullah took the ball over the right side of the line and made a first down plus three more yards. The offensive line blocked well.
Only just a little earlier, Michigan St. intercepted a Taylor Martinez pass and went 95 yards for a TD. Michigan St 31 Nebraska 14. Game over. Wait a second!! No. 5 had a personal foul, a really stupid personal foul and the ball comes back 95 yards. Still Michigan St.'s ball but no touchdown.
Now back to 7:32 to go in the game. Nebraska breathes a breath of fresh air. They have a first down on Michigan St.'s 36 yard line. Next play.....Martinez runs for a touchdown. Michigan St. 24 Nebraska 21
Nebraska is moving again but ends up with a 4th and nine and only makes about six yards on a catch by Enunwa.
With 40 seconds left in the game, Nebraska has a 4th and ten. The ball is located on the Nebraska 42. What the heck, how does this even happen!!?!? Martinez hits Kyle Reed for a pass and he runs all the way down to the Michigan St. 20. 31 seconds to go.
Martinez throws short to Kenny Bell. It is 2nd and ten. Maher is warming up on the sideline. Second down. Martinez throws low to Kyler Reed. Martinez is being very careful with his passes. 3rd and ten. Martinez just misses Kenny Bell for the touchdown but Michigan St. is called for pass interference. Maybe not a good call but great for Nebraska. 1st and goal Nebraska at the five.
Incomplete pass to Reed.
Next play, with six seconds left, Martinez hits Jamal Turner for the winning touchdown. First touchdown for Turner. Nebraska wins 28-24. Another win and probably lucky to have it. Championships have luck sometimes.
Nebraska is still in the driver's seat for the Legends Division representative for the Big 10 Championship game in Indianapolis.

Huskers to win in a close one today!
I'm picking the Huskers today in a road game at Lansing, Michigan vs Michigan St. This is a huge game, as most of them are, for the Huskers. They control their own destiny right now.
This should be a low scoring game. The mid 20's should win it. The Michigan St. defense will be tough. I think early on their defensive line will get the best of us. Our offensive has to be penalty free, our coaches have to be level headed, and our defense will need to get two or three turnovers. If this happens, we win!!
I look to Nebraska winning today in a close one.
Nebraska 23 Michigan State 21
Nebraska (football) picked up their 14th verbal commitment Thursday night. He is a 6'6" 235 defensive end from Arizona Western C.C. He has three years remaining to play. He had 16 offers from other colleges. His high school coach says he is one of the better ones to go through his program at Hamilton Southeastern. He was even used as a wideout his senior year. His junior college coach calls him "a game-changer."
Rex Burkhead is a "possibility" to play today. Don't see that happening though.
It will be interesting to see if they play Santos and Fisher this week. Both played real well last week. Also it will be interesting to see how they rotate the corners.
