In the CFP era, there have been some incredible runs with true freshmen quarterbacks. For Raiola and the

, 2024 has been in line with what most true freshmen quarterbacks have accomplished
Nick Saban coached against 88 teams in his incredible career. Only one team played him more than once and never lost to him - Tom Osborne and the

16 point win against
#1
Purdue is the 5th highest point differential against a
#1
team since 2010. UMBC historic upset of Virginia in the NCAA tournament is the only higher margin of victory of an unranked team over a
#1
team in that time span
Nick Saban has coached against 85 programs during his career. The
#Huskers
are the only team to have played his team more than once and never lose to him
So the Michigan WR ran into the defender at the 5.5 yard line, stopped his route, and the refs through a flag for PI and spot the ball at the 3 yard line?
This is the first
#Huskers
season since 1998 where the starting QB didn't throw a pick or lose a fumble in the first two games of the season. Monte Christo did lose a fumble in relief of Eric Crouch against UAB that season
Since 1900, the
#Huskers
now hold the record for most one possession losses in a 1 year span, 2 year span, 3 year span, 4 year span, 5 year span, 6 year span, 7 year span, 8 year span, 9 year span, and 10 year span
Here’s the Big Ten West 7-Way tie scenario with 4-8 Northwestern winning the Big Ten West. It involves Northwestern going 1-8 then rattling off three straight wins. Enjoy!!!
Green = Win
Red = Loss.
Texas A&M has allowed 300 made threes to opponents this season. The 13th most in college basketball. The

312 made threes are the 22nd most in basketball

EA Sports released the

Memorial Stadium hasn't been a tough venue lately, Nebraska has the 5th highest point differential at home in college football history
Adrian Martinez joins just JT Barrett and Johnny Manziel as freshman to have 1900+ yards passing and 450+ rushing through their teams first 9 games of the season
#Huskers
Strange but true: both
#Huskers
QB Dylan Raiola and
#ChiefsKingdom
QB Patrick Mahomes had the exact same stat line this weekend. Just another similarity between the two players
Adrian Martinez (
@MartinezTheQB
) became just the 7th freshman since 2000 to pass for 2600+ yards and rush for 600+ yards in the same season

No team has had worse foul luck on the road than
#Nebrasketball
this season getting called for nearly 6 more fouls per game than its opponents. The Boilermakers play clean basketball both at home and on the road
At the 1:23 mark: “if any of our coaches come in and start talking about a guy that’s been to 3 high schools in 3 years… those kinds of things are things that you really need to get answers for I think” - Kirk Ferentz on Dylan Raiola
So Nebraska will have at WR this year 6'4 Isaiah Neyor and Jahmal Banks and 6'5 Carter Nelson and Malachi Coleman. Not to mention the 6'6 Thomas Fidone. Raiola will have some big catch radii this season
I've seen some mentions that strong recruiting by Frost is the difference between this situation and Rhule's other stops. Of the top 10 recruits still at Nebraska in the last 4 classes, 5 were from Rhule's first class. Umanmielen, Lenhardt, and Van Poppel have already been
Arbitrary stat of the day: in both Scott Frost's and Matt Rhule's first games against Michigan as Nebraska head coach, the QB caught a pass from himself
#Nebrasketball
has 3 games this season where it has been called for 10 or more fouls than its opponent. Only Mercer, Kansas City, Texas A&M Commerce, and San Francisco have more such games
One thing the Big Ten needs to do with all this extra TV money - hire better refs. Its going to be one of the two premier conferences in the country. It can't have crews like the one today
The
#Huskers
82 point scoring margin through 3 games is tied with 1971 Nebraska for the program's 31st best scoring margin in the opening 3 games since 1900
Assuming he signs, he will become the 7th highest rated player the Huskers have signed out of Texas since 2000 (via 247 ratings). Rhule's Texas connections are already paying off

Fun fact: the Colorado mascot, Ralphie, is actually a bison and not a buffalo. Meaning even the Colorado mascot is rooting for North Dakota State tonight
REPORT: Former MLB player Monte Harrison has committed to Arkansas football, per

Harrison was a 4-star WR recruit in the 2014 class🤯
Of the 262,144 possible outcomes for how the rest of the Big Ten West games could play out, the
#Huskers
win the division outright in 14.8% of them (just behind Wisconsin at 15.3%)
The
#Huskers
have had two of the most dominant decades of football over the last 70 years of college football. However, if Alabama and Georgia can keep up their current run of success, they might surpass the 90s Huskers on this list
As it currently stands, the
#Huskers
2021 recruiting class would be the 3rd tallest class in college football since 2002 (class minimum 10 recruits). The average commit in this class is 6'3.85 inches tall

80 wins since joining the Big Ten have been bad by Nebraska standards but is still more wins over 13 years than over 70% of Iowa's 13 year spans

wore when he led his team to a win during the 2024 inaugural UFL Championship Game, along with a ball from the game.
Full story:
This season the
#Huskers
will play Ohio State for the 6th time in 6 years. In 2025 Iowa is scheduled to play it's 6th game against the Buckeyes since 2007
Here are the P5 QB stats for the entire 2021 Season so far. CJ Stroud and Matt Corral are your leaders, but Kenny Pickett is a GREAT storyline

#CollegeFootball
This
#MichiganFootball
season is a great reminder that if you're a struggling blue blood, one five star QB is all you need to change your entire fortune
The
#Huskers
joined 2019 Georgia as the only CFP era teams to not allow a rushing TD through 6 games. The defense is playing at a playoff caliber level, the offense needs to take another leap this season to make a push in the committee rankings
The average height of commits in Nebraska's 2021 class is 6'4.8". Only 2006 Louisville (12-1) has produced a class with 10+ commits who's average height was at least 6'4".
Data from:
@CFB_Data
#Huskers
QB Adrian Martinez has the 4th most rushing yards of any QB who completed over 70% of his passes in a season since 2000 (minimum 100 attempts)
The last time Nebraska was coming off six straight losing seasons, it made a change at head coach, made it to a bowl game, and then had another great 40 years after that. Today, the
#Huskers
have a chance to complete step two of that plan
So far in the 2020s, Iowa is in it's best decade of college football winning 69.4% of it's games. The
#Huskers
have 6 decades where they have won more than 70% of their games played
New potential hype song for the

from
@TechN9ne
right before the spring game. Hope to see the song embraced during pregame or games this season
The
#Huskers
have struggled against Texas head-to-head in football the past 20 years. Signing Ochaun Mathis was a good win for NU. The rivalry between Nebraska and Texas reached its breaking point in 2009. How have the two programs fared since that game?
With the
#Huskers
QB Dylan Raiola debuting on
#CFB25
as an 80 overall, he's tied with Jordan Adams, Mike Stuntz, and Garth Glissman (all from NCAA Football 2005) as the 21st best Nebraska QB to appear on a game (since NCAA Football 2003)
After the last 8 years of
#Huskers
football, it's hard to believe that the
#Huskers
at one point were 7-2 after facing teams with Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow....
If the
#Huskers
win today against Maryland, and Iowa loses against Rutgers, Nebraska is the sole winner of the Big Ten West in 22.2% of the remaining combinations of outcomes for the rest of the division games this year
