Great idea by HuskerOnline (Rivals) to run this series of articles leading up to the start of the season. Better than most offseason stuff there is to read.Key Huskers: Courtney OsborneSean Callahan HuskerOnline.com Publisher
Osborne's strengths
Osborne is a rangy, athletic safety at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. He plays with good technique and fundamentals and is usually in a position to make a play on the ball. Ever since his insertion to the line-up during the Missouri game, Osborne brought a consistency to the position that had been missing at the start of the 2010 season.

Most memorable play or moment
Osborne came up with an interception in the Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma, but clearly his most memorable play was the bone crushing sack he landed on Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert. The hit caused a fumble that was scooped up and ran back for a touchdown, but the officiating crew did not call the play a fumble, even though video evidence clearly showed Gabbert put the ball on the ground. ESPN's Ed Cunningham also suggested Osborne's hit was dirty, which was the second week in the row he called out a Husker player during a national TV broadcast. The week before, Cunningham played a hand in getting Eric Martin suspended after a hit he made on special teams at Oklahoma State.
