NEBRASKA FOOTBALL MONDAY PRACTICE COMMENTS – MATT RHULE:
RHULE – TEAM CONTINUES TO IMPROVE HEADING TO COLORADO:
Nebraska Football Head Coach Matt Rhule addressed the media on Labor Day and opened his comments saying the team continues to work to get better coming off their Week One loss…
The Huskers look to even their record against a Colorado team coming off the biggest upset in Vegas history – upsetting a Top 20 TCU squad as nearly 21 point underdogs.
RHULE – INJURY UPDATES GOING INTO COLORADO:
Matt Rhule, Nebraska Football Head Coach, gave a solemn injury update to the receiving corp and the rest of the Husker squad heading into their Colorado matchup…
The Huskers now remain extremely thin at receiver, as Rhule added he expects more true freshmen to see playing time moving forward.
RHULE – ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR RECEIVERS AFTER IGC INJURY:
Isaiah Garcia-Castenada ended his season in Week One with a torn ACL, and head coach Matt Rhule was adamant that his young receivers will need to step up to fill the void…
Aiding the passing game could be targeting receiver Billy Kemp and tight end Thomas Fidone more often – as both combined for only two targets and no receptions in the Week One loss.
RHULE – SIMS AIMS TO BOUNCE BACK:
Jeff Sims first start for the Nebraska Football team was one to forget, as the Georgia Tech transfer threw three interceptions in the 13-10 loss at Minnesota. Head Coach Matt Rhule spoke during Monday’s media session that Sims is working hard to shake off the performance…
The Huskers had four total turnovers in the Week One loss.
RHULE – COLORADO HAS EXCELLENT COACHES:
Nebraska Football Head Coach Matt Rhule spoke to the media on Labor Day, and was asked how his team prepares for Colorado with only one week of game film…
Nebraska aims to even their record on the season in Boulder as the Big Red hit the road for the second straight week.
HUSKER RECEIVER ROOM GETS THINNER; IGC OUT FOR YEAR:
Nebraska Football’s receivers room was already thin to begin with to start the 2023 season. But it officially got thinner Monday.
During his weekly press conference Monday morning at Memorial Stadium, head coach Matt Rhule announced starting receiver Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda is out for the season with an injury he suffered in the season-opener last Thursday at Minnesota.
Garcia-Castaneda was targeted a team-high five times, but caught just one pass for five yards. He was last seen on the field early in the fourth quarter running a route in the end zone.
UNK ATHLETICS BEGINS LOPER LUNCHEONS TODAY:
The annual “Loper Luncheons” return to the Nebraska Kearney Athletics calendar with the first one being held today.
In-season head coaches will recap the weekend and look ahead to upcoming games and events. Cost is $7 per person with the meal provided by Billy Jack’s Pizza Pub.
For the fall semester (Sept.-Dec.), the Luncheon will be held in the Joel Wiens Room on the third floor of Ron & Carol Cope Stadium.
The Luncheons start around noon and last around one hour.
LOPER SOCCER DROPS SECOND CONTEST IN OKLAHOMA:
Super senior Cammie Davis converted a penalty kick in the 76th minute but it wasn’t enough as Northwestern Oklahoma State downed Nebraska Kearney, 2-1, Monday afternoon Alva.
The Lopers (0-2-0) host Drury (Mo.) and Quincy (Ill.) this upcoming weekend at Cope stadium.
Drury and Eastern New Mexico play an 11 a.m. game at Forster Field before the Lopers and Hawks square off at 2 p.m on Friday.
BIG RED VOLLEYBALL SWEEPS K-STATE IN LITTLE APPLE:
The No. 4 Nebraska volleyball team rolled on with its fifth straight sweep to start the season after a 25-21, 25-15, 25-19 win over Kansas State in front of a sold-out crowd of 3,044 at the new Morgan Family Arena.
The Huskers (5-0) hit .277 and held Kansas State to .056 hitting for the match. Merritt Beason had 10 kills and six blocks to lead the Big Red. Eight of her kills came in the first set. Andi Jackson also had 10 kills and hit .750 to go with five blocks.
