HUSKERS FOOTBALL: The QB Order, Running Back Depth – Week One of Practice Is In the Books

Andy Ketterson The first week is in the books and the fans got their first and last live peek. So what do we know? Well, probably not much, but let’s take a swing. One week of practice is down and we don’t know much except what the coaches are telling us which, to be honest, isn’t that much. They’re not to blame for that, though, because while they might have a good idea about things, they’re about three and a half weeks from kickoff which...

Michigan Wolverines 2025 Football Preview

Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images After suffering through a decade of Ohio State’s dominance on the football field, the 2020’s have been a Michigan fan’s dream. Three Big Ten titles and a national championship have a way of resetting your perspective. Of course, a bevy of NCAA violations that occurred under former head coach Jim Harbaugh cloud those trophies to all — except Michigan fans, of course. Harbaugh fled to the NFL in San Diego before any more sanctions could be applied to His Khakiness....

Photo by Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Reasons didn’t need to be explained, just pop the button on the one which meant the most to you. And the winner was a little bit of a surprise which made complete sense. We are mere weeks away from kickoff, which will take place in Arrowhead Stadium against Cincinnati.

Nebraska Football Needs Developmental Players to Make a Leap in 2025

Photo by Nick Tre. Smith/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Fall camp is underway in Lincoln, and as always, optimism is in the air.

This is the season where his culture, system, and player development philosophy must begin producing real results. Rhule’s approach—recruiting high-upside athletes and molding them into contributors—has worked before. Now, with both stars and sleepers on the roster, Nebraska needs...
