Nebraska will play Oklahoma in football.
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.

Nebraska defense dominates Michigan!
The Nebraska blackshirts are improving. They played real well against Dennard Robinson and the Michigan team. Robinson didn't make it to the first half before he was injured. Without him Michigan didn't have much offense. Almost none.
Nebraska started the game on a sad note as Tariq Allen appeared to blow at his knee on the opening kickoff. Allen was becoming a bigger part of the Nebraska offense and he will be missed. We hope he is back next year.
Michigan started on offense and went three and out. Great start. similar to last week.
The Michigan defensive front dominated our line the first series but Martinez did hit Kenny Bell for 20 yards on 3rd down. Then Abdullah is stopped for a big loss when the defensive lineman goes in untouched.
That's how a lot of the first half went or even the whole game. There might be an offensive play or two on both teams but the defense dominated.
Players of note that I thought played real well on defense was Ciante Evans and Baker Steinkuhler. Will Compton and Sean Fisher had some great plays!! Good day for the linebackers as Whaley played well also.
Starting the second quarter, Nebraska picked up the tempo and hit Cotton and Abdullah on nice gains. Enunwa catches one for six yards. Osborne catches one for twenty yards. Then Martinez hits Kenny Bell for a 35 yard touchdown. Just a great drive and the best of the day as it turned out. It looked easy. Nebraska 7-0.
In the second quarter, our defensive line got some good push off their o-line. That's encouraging.
Then with 3:51 to go in the half Robinson runs to the ten and gets hurt. Game pretty much over. Without him they have very little offense.
Nebraska 7-6 at the half.
PL Smith picks one off and runs it back to the four. First and ten Nebraska and we end up with a field goal. Martinez is limping pretty bad. Nebraska 10-6 with 11:48 to go in the third inning.
Nebraska's defense is gaining confidence with the new quarterback. Red-shirt freshman Bellomy looks a little scared.
Ciante Evans gets a sack with 10:40 to go in the third. Michigan has negative yardage.
Brent Maher kicks a field goal from 51 yards!!! Nebraska 13-6 lead.8:41 to go in the third.
Where's Braylon Heard at? Imani Cross?
Nebraska does pass its way down the field on its other great offensive drive. Enunwa, Marlowe and Reed all make great catches. A pass to Bell creates a pass interference call. Nebraska has the ball on the Michigan 11 with 5:43 to go in the third.
Maher hits another field goal. Nebraska 16-6 4:43 to go in the third.
Bellomy gets his first completion late in the third. this coming after 30 yards in penalities on one play. One on 150 Josh Mitchell for tarketing the head and the other on the Husker bench. Then Nebraska gets a paa interference call and 45 total yards in penalties on this drive. Michigan is at the 18 with 2:00 minutes to go in the third.
Michigan gets a field goal Nebraska 16-9. Still too close to call. The third quarter ends.
Nebraska is marching again in the fourth with runs by Abdullah and a great catch by Reed keeps them moving. Nebraska gets in field goal range and then we have a ten yard loss on a sack.
But Nebraska gets an interception from Staford. 11:25 left in the game. Nebraska on Michigan's 42 yard line. Martinex explodes for 29 yards.
Abdullah makes a great run for a touchdown from 13 yards out. Nebraska 23-9. 10:20 to go in the game.
Nebraska has run 19 plays for 11 yards in the second half with 8:15 to go.
Abdullah ends up with 101 yards rushing and plays a great game.
Nebraska wins 23-9.
Nebraska was 20th in the BCS standing today. they are back in the rankings.
Other news.
Jimmie Johnson wins at Martinsville and is heading to another championship.
Notre Dame is back. They jump Oregon to take 3rd in the BCS. K-State is 4th.
The Washington Huskies knocked off Oregon State.
The Nebraska volleyball team knocks off Penn State in five sets. WOW!
Christian Lacouture has decommitted from Nebraska. He is a defensive tackle who moved to Lincoln to attend Lincoln Southwest. He was from Texas. He planned to start school in January. Now he is going to visit LSU. I wonder what the rest of the story is.

Bill Snyder, wizard!
Bill Snyder continues to impress eveybody. He has twice now taken K-State from the bottom and brought them back. This time they are rated 4th in the nation. Doesn't even seem real. His last four years' recruiting classes have been ranked 58th, 68th, 63rd, and 92nd. Unbelievable! You have to admire him as a tremendous coach! I just wonder what he does that others don't.
Gerry DiNardo, a Big 10 analyst, says the Big 10 is down because of recruiting. The SEC is beating everybody in recruiting and the Big 10 is definately down. He says with Urban Meyer at Ohio State and Brady Hoke at Michigan they will be head and shoulders above everybody else in recruiting which he says will equate to wins.
He says that Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, and Penn State have to be in the top 10 in recruiting annually with at least three more Big 10 teams 11-15. This isn't happening right now except for Michigan and Ohio State

Sunday thoughts!
First of all I wanted to mention the comment that Vice President Joe Biden said at the debate that he is personally opposed to abortion while supporting its legalization. Abortion, as I view it, is the unjustified killing of a human person. The Catholic Church has said that you can not oppose personally and support abortion publicly. You can't take such a position and then call yourself a practicing Catholic. Its that simple.
Vice President candidate Paul Ryan said "I don't see how a person can separate their public life from their private life or from their faith. Our faith informs us in everything we do." Enough said.
