Illini Big Test for Huskers’ Struggling Defense

Posted on October 4, 2013

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — What once looked like a cushy October schedule for Nebraska just might be more of a challenge.

The way the Cornhuskers’ defense has performed through four games surely has Illinois thinking it could steal a win at Memorial Stadium on Saturday and end its 14-game Big Ten losing streak.

Nebraska (3-1) is 107th nationally in total defense and no higher than 75th in any major category. Illinois (3-1) has displayed a versatile offense that’s averaging almost 480 yards a game.

The Huskers allowed 465 yards to FCS South Dakota State in their last game and used their bye week to shore up deficiencies ranging from missed tackles to attitude.

Tommy Armstrong Jr. will start at quarterback for Nebraska in place of the injured Taylor Martinez.

Huskers Confident Heading Into Weekend without Martinez

Posted on October 4, 2013

Lincoln – The Nebraska football team finished up preparations for Illinois by practicing for two hours on the Ed and Joyanne Gass practice fields and inside the Hawks Championship Center on Thursday.

Head Coach Bo Pelini spoke to the media after practice, and said the team got a lot of good work done this week and addressed the quarterback situation.

“We’ll start Tommy (Armstrong),” Pelini said. “Ron (Kellogg III) will be ready to go and Taylor (Martinez) will not play.”

Pelini said that whether Armstrong and Kellogg will split reps depends on how the game goes. Pelini added that Martinez is making progress but won’t put him on the field until he is 100 percent. Martinez hasn’t played since the turf toe injury he suffered on Sept. 14 against UCLA.

“(Both quarterbacks) had a good week,” Pelini said. “They are feeling good. I think their confidence just grows. They’ve been getting a lot of reps. No matter who the quarterback is, the key is playing good around them. I think our guys understand that and we’re ready to do that.”

Pelini also talked about the MIKE linebacker position and said David Santos will “probably” get the start.

“(Santos) had a good couple weeks,” Pelini said. “He’s had a good last few days. I have to check out today’s film but that’s where we are leaning.”

Pelini added that he thought today’s communication in practice was the best it has been since the Huskers started fall camp.

“I didn’t feel good after yesterday’s practice but I felt really good after today’s practice,” Pelini said. “With our guys, it’s a consistency issue and it’s a focus issue. It’s a discipline approach of playing the way you need to play.”

Nebraska’s Homecoming game against the Fighting Illini kicks off at 11 a.m. at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. ESPNU will carry the TV coverage.

Papuchis Sees Progress in Defense

Posted on October 3, 2013

Lincoln, Neb.-The Nebraska football team continued its preparation for Saturday’s Big Ten conference opener against Illinois on Wednesday afternoon. The team practiced in shoulder pads and shorts for just over two hours inside the Hawks Center and outside at the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Fields.

Defensive Coordinator John Papuchis met with media after practice, noting that as a whole, the defensive staff has had a few sleepless nights while preparing for Illinois dynamic offense.

“One of things they do a nice job of is they have a lot of diversity in their offense. They do pretty much anything you can do.” Papuchis said, “They have all the personnel packages, spread packages, it forces you to prepare for a lot of things and obviously that is the challenge this week.”

One of the reasons the Illini have such a dynamic offense is the play of their senior quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, who has recorded 1162 passing yards including 12 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Scheelhaase not only displays talent throwing the ball, he also is a tremendous dual-threat quarterback, racking up 1,826 rushing yards with 16 touchdowns in his career, making Papuchis and the rest of the defensive staff respect not only what he does in the air, but on the ground as well.

“We have a lot of respect for him as an athlete, so whether he runs it or not is out of our control in terms of what they call. We’ve got to be prepared for it.” Papuchis said.

Much has been said about the Nebraska Blackshirt defense over the past few weeks, but one thing that is certain is that during the bye week and so far this week, Papuchis believes that the Husker defense has came out and worked hard every day at practice. Papuchis did note that the coaches can’t fully measure how much progress has been made until they see the team in action Saturday.

“One thing about our guys is that they come to work every day, I thought our guys have worked hard over the past few weeks.” Papuchis said, “We will see the progress Saturday. I think we have made strides but until you really test it, sometimes it is a little bit difficult in how far you have come.”

A key thing the Nebraska defense has been working on has been communication on the defensive side of the ball. Papuchis believes that one of the biggest things the Husker defense struggled at while playing South Dakota State was not communicating enough on the defense.

“It was a lot communication issues, just getting our guys comfortable and making the calls and taking command.” Papuchis said, “One thing we have been blessed with while we have been here is a Mike linebacker that is willing to take charge. Whether it was Phil Dillard or Lavonte or Will Compton those guys took charge. That is what we need, a field general that is going to help people get lined up.”

Nebraska will hit the practice field again on Thursday as the team moves closer to its fifth game of the season. NU will face the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU.

Fans Invited to Big Red Tip-Off Tuesday

Posted on October 3, 2013

Lincoln – The Nebraska women’s basketball team will celebrate the start of the 2013-14 season with Big Red Tip-Off Tuesday at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Oct. 15 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Coach Connie Yori and the Huskers, who are coming off their second NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in the past four years, are inviting fans for a sneak peek at this season’s crop of Huskers. Fans are encouraged to arrive at 5 p.m. to get a glimpse of Nebraska at practice on their new home court.

Fans also will have the opportunity to select their seats for tickets to watch the Nebraska women’s basketball team play throughout the year in Season One at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Ticket office representatives will be available throughout the event to process season ticket orders. Fans also can purchase tickets right now at Huskers.com/arena with lower level season tickets starting at just $80 for Nebraska’s 20 home games throughout the season.

In addition to the chance to watch the Huskers during a portion of their practice, fans will be introduced to the team, which returns four starters and eight letterwinners from a team that went 25-9 overall and 12-4 in the Big Ten in 2012-13. The Huskers will be available to meet and greet fans while also signing autographs during the event. Nebraska’s returning starters are led by two-time All-American and two-time first-team All-Big Ten forward Jordan Hooper. The 6-2 senior from Alliance, Neb., enters her final season at Nebraska in position to challenge school scoring, rebounding and three-point records.

Hooper will be joined by fellow two-year starting forwards Emily Cady and Hailie Sample. Cady, a 6-2 junior from Seward, Neb., is a two-time honorable-mention All-Big Ten pick. Sample, a 6-1 junior from Flower Mound, Texas, has started 67 consecutive games alongside Hooper and Cady in the Husker lineup. Junior Katie Simon, a 6-2 junior from Roseville, Calif., and freshman Allie Havers, a 6-5 center from Paw Paw, Mich., will add more size to the Husker front court.

Sophomore Rachel Theriot, who earned Big Ten All-Freshman honors a year ago, also returns to the Husker starting five. The 6-0 point guard from Middleburg Heights, Ohio, will be joined in the Husker backcourt by experienced junior guards Tear’a Laudermill and Brandi Jeffery, and sophomore guard Sadie Murren from Wahoo, Neb. Another native Nebraskan, Hannah Tvrdy from Seward, joins fellow freshman guard Esther Ramacieri (Repentigny, Quebec, Canada) as newcomers to the NU backcourt this season.

Admission to Big Red Tip-Off Tuesday is free and concessions will be available at the arena during the event.

The candidates also comprise the list of semifinalists for the 2013 William V. Campbell Trophy, endowed by HealthSouth, which recognizes an individual as the absolute best scholar-athlete in the nation.

Long, a senior offensive guard has been a mainstay in the Husker offense line the past two-plus seasons. The 6-foot-4, 315-pounder has started 31 straight games for Nebraska. As a junior, he earned second-team All-America and first-team All-Big Ten honors, as Nebraska lead the Big Ten in rushing offense and total offense. A team co-captain this season, Long has helped Nebraska rank 14^th nationally in both rushing offense (280.8 yards per game) and scoring offense (43.3 points per game) heading into Saturday’s Big Ten opener.

In the classroom, he has been a first-team Academic All-District VII pick in each of the last two years and has been on the academic honor roll in each of his eight semesters at Nebraska. Long, who originally walked on to the Husker program, is active in the Huskers’ Life Skills program, volunteering his time for visits to local hospitals and schools.

Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates for the awards must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first-team player or significant contributor and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship.

Huskers Confident in QBs, Ready for Illini

Posted on October 2, 2013

Lincoln, Neb.- The Nebraska football team continued its preparation for Saturday’s Big Ten conference opener against Illinois on Tuesday afternoon. The team practiced in full pads for just over two hours inside the Hawks Center and outside at the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Fields.

Offensive Coordinator Tim Beck addressed the media after practice, beginning with the status of senior quarterback Taylor Martinez.

“We’re just getting (Taylor Martinez) ready mentally right now by making sure he understands the game plan,” Beck said. “He’s played a lot of football around here. If there’s a guy who could miss a couple of practices, it’s probably him, but it’s a day-to-day situation.”

Martinez, suffering from turf toe, sat out the Sept. 21 game against South Dakota State, snapping a 32-game starting streak that dated back to his redshirt freshman season in 2010.

However, Coach Beck made it clear that he has confidence in backup quarterbacks Ron Kellogg and Tommy Armstrong to get the job done if needed on Saturday.

“Those guys are competing hard and having a really good week of practice,” Beck said. “I like how they’re running the offense and competing. It’s very similar to what they were doing leading up to the last game.”

Kellogg and Armstrong combined for 305 yards passing and two touchdowns in Nebraska’s 59-20 victory over South Dakota State. The two quarterbacks alternated series in that game, which is something Beck said he isn’t opposed to doing again.

“I kind of play it by ear as we go into a game,” Beck said. “I like to see if someone’s got a hot hand or is seeing things better. There are so many scenarios that go into the decisions that are made, and those guys understand that. But they’ll both play if it helps us win.”

A large part of the two quarterbacks’ success has been a focus on the mental aspect of the game. Kellogg and Armstrong combined to complete 20 of 24 passes without an interception against the Jackrabbits, helping the Huskers convert seven of 10 third down opportunities.

According to Beck, that’s the recipe for success.

“Most teams that are winning games aren’t turning the ball over,” Beck said. “They’re converting on third downs and they aren’t shooting themselves in the foot with penalties. You are going to win more games than you lose if you’re doing that. I liked our mentality going into last game and I like where we’re at right now.”

Nebraska will hit the practice field again on Wednesday as the team moves closer to its fifth game of the season. NU will face the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU.
