Lady Huskers basketball defeated #24 Florida State on the road, 66-63. Off to a hot 6-0 start.

Hardrick said there was a huge difference between playing in the Big Ten this year and the spread offenses of the Big 12 a year ago. “Every defense in the Big Ten was big and physical, not a lot of finesse,” Hardrick said. “In the Big Ten, you really get to know your opponent because you’re going to hit him about 80 times a game.” -- http://is.gd/Es5A9h

Anyone else notice that Braxton Miller looks like a young Johnny Rodgers? http://i.imgur.com/9fjIX.jpg

Thanks for playing for Nebraska, Lavonte. You'll be missed.

Multiple sources tell us that Rich Rod will be announced as the new head coach at Arizona tonight. -- @footballscoop

Congrats to Lady Huskers basketball team. They curb stomped #23 USC, 68-50. Never trailed the whole game. Jordan Hooper & Lindsey Moore had 22 pts. apiece. They're 3-0 on the season.

#Nebraska had not beaten a team ranked higher than 17 on the road since 1997 until today, Huskers win 17-14 in State College -- @CFBLIVE

Congrats, Northwestern. Their offense kept our defense off balance most of the day and it paid off. Salute!

How good was #Huskers D? #Spartans star WR B.J. Cunningham was held wo a catch, snapping 41-game reception streak. (via @JamesStevenson) -- @BTNBrentYarina

When #1 LSU meets #2 Alabama, it'll be the 4th time in CFB history that #1 & #2 play following a bye week. The last time it happened was 1971 when #1 Nebraska played #2 Oklahoma in The Game of the Century. #1 Army & #2 Navy was the first in back-to-back years of 1945 & 46. In all 3 of those games, #1 came out victorious. - http://is.gd/4vnYsp

Congrats to NEB's Lavonte David on being named a semifinalist for Butkus Award, given annually to nation's top LB -- @B1Gfootball

A fun storyline for NU-MSU game. Alfonzo Dennard & MSU's CB Darqueze Dennard are cousins.

Minus the Texas debacle last year, we played better in 2:30 time slot when we beat 2 ranked teams back-to-back in Mizzou & Okie State. We lost to a hot streaking A&M team and imploded against OU in night games. A 2:30 MSU game probably works best for us next weekend.

Husker volleyball DOMINATED #1 Illinois tonight, 3-1.

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen served as NU's guest coach today. http://nebraska.247sports.com/Board/142/Jared-Allen-serves-as-guest-coach-5034208 via @247Sports -- @michaelbruntz

Fun Fact: What do Chip Kelly, Mike Leach, Paul Johnson and Charlie Weis have in common? None of them played college football.

Glad we're heading into a bye week. We're due for it.

Who the hell do we think we are? The Detroit Lions? ;-) I'll take the W anyway I can get it. Way to go, fellas!
