“Probably Should Fire the Coordinator”: Dan Wolken Asks for Major Change as he Raises Question Marks Over Nebraska’s Recruitment Process

Last month, the Nebraska Cornhuskers finalized a deal with quarterback Anthony Colandrea to return in 2027 for his final year of eligibility. He joined Matt Rhule and his team this year and took over as the team’s starting quarterback. Colandrea started the season with a bang, leading the program to a five-game winning streak. However, the team has struggled in the past few games. After Friday’s 24-13 loss to the Illinois Fighting Illini, the Cornhuskers are on a four-game losing streak. Yahoo Sports College Football reporter Dan Wolken shared his thoughts on Colandrea’s future with the program after this game. “Nebraska’s offense can’t continue like this, and yet they just re-signed the quarterback, which is the kind of thing you do when you believe it can continue like this,” Wolken tweeted. After a fan responded to his tweet defending the quarterback, Dan Wolken explained his reasoning and also questioned the program’s recruitment process. “He’s a good quarterback,” Wolken said. “The point is, you probably should fire the coordinator at this point given the results. But then you’ve got to go get a new one who runs a system specifically for the QB you’ve paid millions to but will only be

Corn Flakes: Volleyball Clinches Share of Big Ten Title

Husker men’s and women’s basketball notched wins to remain undefeated and Nebraska football made a coordinator change. I was travelling part of this past week and ended up getting sick. As such, I was incredibly tired and didn’t last long on Friday night. I tried to watch the Husker football game but I woke up at 2 a.m. on the couch with my neck hurting and the cat staring at me. A quick check of my phone showed my fears were correct.

Nebraska holds off Providence to get 67-58 win in Hall of Fame Tip-Off

Nebraska men's basketball (2-0) flew out to the East Coast to take on Providence (1-1) in the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off. In a low-scoring battle, the Huskers fended off the Friars for a 67-58 win. Nebraska outscored Providence in both halves and leaned on its defense to win, despite scoring below 70. The Huskers shot 22-of-49 from the floor, 5-of-24 from three-point range and 18-of-24 from the free-throw line. However, Nebraska struck on defense, scoring 20 points on 18 turnovers. The Huskers also held the Friars to 19-of-62 in total, 7-of-38 from three and 13-of-14 at the line. Providence won the board battle, outrebounding Nebraska (33-31). The Huskers did topple the Friars in steals, however (12-2). Pryce Sandfort scored a game-high 25 points and earned game MVP honors. He hit 9-of-14, 3-of-8 and 4-of-4, respectively. Sandfort also earned four assists and three steals. Boden Kapke, Braden Frager and Cale Jacobsen all finished in double figures. Kapke scored 13 points after going 5-of-6, 1-of-2 and 2-of-2. Frager picked up 12 after shooting 3-of-13, 1-of-8 and 5-of-7. He also earned a game-high four steals. Jacobsen totaled 11 points by hitting 7-of-9 from the free-throw line and 2-of-3 from the floor.

Report Card: Illinois Fighting Illini 24, Huskers 13

First up: an admission. I didn’t watch this game live, as I was watching my son’s team in the state quarterfinals. Millard North beat Omaha North 21-0, setting up a rematch next week against Millard South in a game that will feature three Nebraska recruits. And for my money, Millard North’s Tory Pittman III is the best player in the state. I’m not a recruitnik, so I don’t know how this translates to the next level. I just know he makes plays no one else in this state can, at least that I’ve seen thus far.
