1983: Racking up the most points in a game for NU since 1917, the Huskers’ “Scoring Explosion” offense lives up to its name in an 84-13 laugher over Minnesota. Meanwhile, quarterback Turner Gill wonders whether football or baseball is where his future lies.

Tommy Armstrong Jr. and Ron Kellogg III filled in at quarterback for the injured Taylor Martinez. The win capped a tumultuous week for Bo Pelini, who apologized after he was heard in an audio recording cursing about Husker fans and reporters after the 2011 win over Ohio State.

2018: The Huskers are off to an 0-2 start for the first time in more than 60 years as Troy pulls off a 24-19 upset in Lincoln.

Henrich Haarberg looked fairly poised.  Not sure yet about his downfield throws. 

 My Dad reminded me his dad was a walk on FB around 30 years ago. 

[FearlessF]

his downfield throws weren't great, but they didn't go to the fellows wearing the opposing jerseys

Nebraska's starting RB and his back-up now out for the season? Jeff Sims gonna have to throw more?

Rahmir Johnson, Gabe Ervin and Dwight Bootle out for the season

RB Anthony Grant was supposed to be the starter, but fumbled too much in practice and then fumbled in the 4th quarter vs the gophers.  He's a big senior that is strong, but I doubt he holds up the entire season.

Behind him is Emmett Johnson, a redshirt frosh out of Minneapolis.
Gonna have to grow up quick.

Bootle was 2nd string corner.

Plans for a $450 million renovation* of Memorial Stadium have been unveiled and will go before the board of regents next week.

The plans are for a $450 million renovation that will:

South Stadium demolition and replacement with chair-back general seating.
New chair-back seating in West and East stadiums.
360-degree main-level concourse connection and 270-degree upper-level concourse connection.
Concession upgrades, refurbished menu options and added points of sale throughout the stadium.
Restroom modernization throughout the stadium.
Academic curriculum space, with specific uses guided by UNL’s academic leadership.
Enhanced student life amenities.
ADA upgrades throughout the stadium.


“One hundred years ago, Nebraskans came together to celebrate the first game at Memorial Stadium – the start of what would become a century’s worth of memories for students, alumni, fans and families all across our state,” Alberts said. “Now our fans have an opportunity to come together again to ensure that we can make memories for another century. After 100 years, the reality is our stadium needs significant modernization.

Funding is to be paid equally from private funds ($225 million) and other funding sources, including up to $50 million from the university’s internal lending program. No student tuition dollars or university general operating dollars will be used.

The target completion for the entire project is July 2026.
