The Word on the Huskers Bowl Bid
I just received this information a little bit ago from a another Husker forum. The word is that Nebraska will be playing Clemson in the Gator Bowl on January 1st! Go Big Red!!!
The word on Cody Glenn
I know this might not be official but word I have received on Nebraska's defensive star Cody Glenn is that Bo suspended him indefinitely due to Cody's conduct regarding the illegal selling of tickets. The players and the University receive tickets to each game to give to friends and family so they can come to the game and watch their players. This is a privilege and not an opportunity for players to sell the tickets for a profit and this is understood by every player on the team. Word has it that Cody Glenn violated this and was selling the tickets to make money and was caught and it was brought to coaches attention. This is a huge disappointment to me because Cody Glenn was a huge asset to the defense and I really enjoyed watching develop this year but rules are rules!
Nebraska vs Colorado Post Game
What a game!! I was unable to make it to the game even though I had tickets, but due to the holiday. But, I was able to watch the game with friends and family.
I was very disappointed with the beginning of the first quarter when Nebraska gave up two unanswered TD's to Colorado. Both of the TD's were total blown coverages by the Husker's secondary. But, Nebraska came back and didnt let it get out of hand. They woke up and started playing like they were the Buffs in Lincoln. I'd have to say i thought the overall play was sloppy but they did what they had to do. If you can find some highlights you'll see some of the intensity the Skers were playing with. There was some trash talking at the end of plays, but that's not it the D was hitting hard and no matter what happened they jut didn't quit, it got me so fired up!
Lets talk about the end of the game. Its 31-30 Colorado and Nebraska faces 4rth and 25 yards to gain with a 1:40 left in the fourth quarter. I didn't know what they were going to do. I thought if Bo sent the field goal unit out there they would fake it, i thought no way they were going to try a 57 yarder to set the stage for the outcome. And as we all know Bo sent the field goal unit out their. Everyone out of their chair and completely quiet. The Skers snapped the ball and Henry kicked the hell out of it, and nailed a 57 yarder!
Their was still some time left for CU to make the comeback but don't tell Suh that! CU's ball and its 2nd and 10 to gain, Hawkins throws the ball it is tipped at the line and the ball fell right into the arms of Suh and he was off to the races, Suh wasn't touched until CU's QB thought it would be a good idea to take down a 300 pound freight train and was absolutely denied!!
All in it was an awesome to see and the better team won in dramatic fashion!

Nebraska vs Colorado pre-game
This is always a must win for Nebraska and especially the Husker Nation its a pride thing!! I've seen the Buffs play a few games this season and I think the Skers should have no problem beating em. Although I've seen Colorado play tough with some good teams like Texas for example. I know that game wasn't close or anything but CU plays tough and dont quit especially in the running game and on defense, so we don't to underestimate the Buffs and definitely not let up on them at all! The Skers need to lose some of the small mistakes and play controlled turnover free game.
My prediction is NU 35 CU 14

Nebraska vs Kansas State
The K State game was an expected win and a big win is what the Skers got. I think that the Huskers gave K State nearly every touchdown they got. The Huskers weren't perfect and have some things to work on said Bo Pelini after the game and i agree. Freeman was going to be a threat i predicted, but Nebraska's "D" line put great pressure on him and really put him on the move. That was nice to see. I thought Ganz had a pretty good game with the exception of the interception for 6 at the beginning of the game but i thought he came back nicely.
Offense
Ganz went 16 for 25 with 1 interception totalling 270 yards and 2 TD's through the air. More impressively Ganz led the rushing attack with 11 rushes for a net total of 95 yards with 2 TD's. Roy Helu Jr. was the leading rusher besides Ganz with 13 touches for 80 yards and 2 TD's. Nate Swift led the receiving attack with 4 catches for 98 yards.
Defense
Colton Koehler led the "D" with 8 total tackels. Asante, Suh, Wortman, and Lawrence all had 5 total tackles, with Suh having one sack resulting in a 15 yard loss.

Nebraska vs Kansas
This was a great win for Nebraska. Kansas isnt having quit the season they were last year but they are still playing tough and this was a crucial game to shape the 2008 season for the Huskers. I was unable to watch the game but did listen to it on the Internet until it quit working which was the end of the first half. But, from what i listen to we were playing well. The skers were tied the game late in the first half and then the Defense got the ball back and it looked like the Skers were going to march down the field and score again but unfortunately Ganz through an interception to end the half 14 to 14. I think the most exciting thing about this game other than to regain our dignity from last year is that the Huskers are bowl eligible again and winning out the rest of the season seems very likely! I would also like to comment on Suh's play against KU....Unbelievable. He pressured the QB all day, he through down blocks in the fullback position, had an interception, and he caught a pass for a touchdown.
Offense
Ganz out played Todd Reesing and had a decent game going 28 for 37 passing and throwing one interception and totalling 324 yards and 3 TD's. Lucky actually had a 4 yard TD pass as well. Nate Swift led receiving with 111 yards on 7 catches and 1 TD. Roy Helu Jr. and Todd Peterson also had decent days receiving both racking up over 60 yards a piece. Roy Helu Jr. led the rushing attack if 115 net yards on 16 rushes with 2 TD's. Helu played exceptional once again and i think Bo has found his new running back.
Defense
Suh, Ndamukong led the defensive attack with 12 total tackles and 2.5 sacks resulting in 18 yards. Allen, Pierre and O'Hanlon, Matt had decent days on the defensive side of the ball both totalling 7 tackles with Allen having a sack that resulted in a 15 yard loss

Nebraska vs Kansas pre game
I don't think that there is much to say about this game Nebraska needs to poll off the upset! The OU is long gone and it was going to be a shot in the dark that we were going to be able to play with those guys and we all know we surely didn't do that! But like I said that one is long gone NU needs this game badly!
