You may know Henery is one of the best kickers in the country (despite getting snubbed for the Groza), but even I didn't realize just how well he stacks up historically:

http://huskersgameday.com/2010/12/02...s-might-think/

Quote:
* Alex Henery has made 89.2% of his career field goal attempts (66-of-74). The NCAA record is 87.8% by Florida’s Bobby Raymond. (min. 45 attempts)

* Alex Henery has made 77.4% of his career field goals from 40 yards or longer (24-of-31). The NCAA career record is 72.1% by Georgia’s Billy Bennet.

* Alex Henery has made 97.7% of his career field goals from inside 40 yards (42-of-43). The NCAA career record is 97.0% by Florida’s Bobby Raymond.

* Alex Henery is tied for the NCAA record with six career games with at least four field goals.

* Alex Henery has combined to make 256 of his 265 career kicks (PATs and field goals), a 96.6% accuracy rate. The NCAA FBS career record is 94.9% set by Missouri’s Jeff Wolfert.

Congrats OU fans. Another tough championship game loss to swallow on this side. We've been to three Big XII title games in the last half of the decade, had outstanding defensive performances in all of them, but lost because of turnover prone offenses that couldn't cross midfield for quarters at a time.

Time to take a serious look at what is up with the offense. For years now we've looked good on that side against mediocre teams, but gotten completely shut down by teams with any speed or talent (i.e. OU, Texas, Texas A&M). We're in for a world of hurt if we can't establish something more dependable (or at the very least not fumble 50 times in a year).

Again, tough loss. They teased us with a big lead, they teased us with golden opportunities at the end to have a game winning drive. OU's QB showed his poise and growth and their defense stepped up.

You have to be ****ing kidding me. The Holiday Bowl (where we played just last year) vs. Washington (a 6-6 team we beat 56-21 earlier this year and will be meeting again early next season.)

Somehow Mizzou, a team we trounced and had the same record as (prior to the championship game) gets the Insight Bowl against Iowa, which would have been a great match-up. Christ, did this season end on some sour notes.

As it stands, #8 rated recruiting class by Rivals, #1 in the Big Ten. Reassuring to see our classes have gotten stronger each year under Pelini.

Martinez made for Big Ten.

http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/insid..._kc&id=6170158

I think he will be a stud if he takes coaching and developes. I have also heard good things about the young guys. QB is one of the positions I'm not worried about. Receiver is a position I am very worried about.

Taylor broke the all time 10 yard dash record (for a Cornhusker QB) with a 1.47..... glad to see he has his quicks back.

Go Big Red...skins? Washington just drafted THREE Nebraska players today. Good luck Gomes, Helu and Paul! I guess Shanny was watching some Husker tape this offseason.

The ironic thing is he rarely took Huskers while at Denver. He seemed more enamored with the SEC and Big12 South.

From what I have heard a lot of that had to do with NUs emphasis on agricultural studies and lack of a medical school. The University of Nebraska at Omaha has the medical school.

I really want to go to the Wyoming game but I hear it's a really small stadium so tickets will be hard to come by. Also the rest of the tickets at home got a huge price jump because of the move to B10. I think the OSU game would be worth the money though.

Nebraska fans can do what they do every year for the first few games....enjoy demolishing cupcake teams to pad your won-lost record.

A couple more weeks until Husker football starts up again. Can't wait to see what we have this year. If they can get a good offense, the team will be fighting for the division title and possibly the national title. This was said last year as well though. Hopefully Martinez can stay healthy this year.

Played for the championship in 2001 after Colorado destroyed them 62-36. They should be ashamed! BTW, Oregon should have played Miami in that game.

The worst part is the B12 North NEEDED CU to get back to being a creditable team. Maybe there would have been more balance in the B12 and UT might not have got everything handed to them when they asked for it.

NU falling off didn't help any either but hell man at least we voted against UT.
