November 5, 200718 yr Former Badger coach and NU alum Barry Alvarez is rumored to be a strong contender for the job. If he's interested, he'll get it before Gill or Bo P. The NU folks don't look at their HC job as being one that Gil and Bo should be legit candidates. They're looking for a big time coach.

He is a great football coach, I just can't see him leaving his current position in Madison. Hes a legend up there.
November 5, 200718 yr No doubt about it that this is the worst defense in the history of NU football. The following stats just make me want to puke. The Huskers have now allowed 30 rushing touchdowns, setting the new record for rushing touchdowns by an opponent in a season (previous record, 26, 1950) The Huskers have now allowed 47 total touchdowns, setting the new record for total TDs allowed by an opponent in a season (previous record, 41, 1948 & 2002) The defense has now allowed 4,776 total yards, just 291 yards shy of the worst season ever, with two games remaining The defense has allowed 359 points so far, already the record for most points allowed in a single season (prior record, 335 points, 2002, 14 games) The defense has allowed 35.9 points per game, and needs to hold K State and Colorado to fewer than 34 points total (17 apiece) to avoid the worst number of points-per-game in Nebraska history At 249 first downs allowed, the Huskers are only 23 first downs shy of the worst-ever showing in allowing first downs The Nebraska defense is 386 yards shy of setting the new record for rushing yards allowed With zero sacks in today's game, the Huskers need to get 8 sacks per game in the next two games to avoid having the worst sack total in school history The Huskers are 61 pass completions shy of allowing the highest number of opponent completions in a season The Huskers have allowed opponents to complete 57.4% of passes so far this season. That's on pace to be another "worst" - the 2004 team set the record at 56.7% The 1968 team set the record for lowest interception percentage (INTs/Attempts) by the Huskers at 3.19%. The 2007 team currently sits at 2.4% The most touchdowns ever allowed through the air in a season was set by the 1948 team (19). The 2007 team has allowed 16 so far. The fewest takeaways in a season by the Huskers were 19, set in 1962, 1993, and 2000. This year's team has only 11. With zero punt return yards today, the Huskers still have only 77 yards with two games left. The worst punt return yardage season was 141, set in 1955. Punt return average is still stagnant, with this year's average (5.92) coming in barely above the worst season (5.77). The 2007 Huskers have 58 kickoff returns this season, a new record (prior record, 48, 2002) The 477.6 yards allowed per game is well above the record of 379.5, set in 1948 (and has already assured that this team will "earn" this record as well, unless they hold Kansas State and Colorado to negative yards). Nebraska's turnover margin this season is -14. The worst season in Husker history is -18, set in 1967

The worst season in Husker history is -18, set in 1967 Back in the 80's I really enjoyed watching Nebraska, Oklahoma, and the Service Academies run the option. In the 90's Oklahoma abandoned it and won a title in 2000-01. Nebraska stuck with it and won a couple of titles. I never really was a Nebraska fan but college football is better when Nebraska is good, not when they are the Creamedcorn-huskers. Please get rid of Callahan and get back to Big Red Football.
