Is Nebraska Ready For The Big Ten?

All the contracts have been sign and now Nebraska must get ready for Big Ten play shortly. Are the Cornhuskers and their fans over confident entering the Big Ten? Many people wonder if Nebraska can adjust to playing in different venues and a different style of college football. The truth is the Big Ten style actually fits into the mode that Nebraska has played for many years. Line up and see who buckles first.

Running the ball has always been something Nebraska has done well and they will continue to do it in the Big Ten nothing will change there. The one thing that Nebraska will have to get use to is the pride factor that each Big Ten team has and will show them week after week. Big Ten teams know Nebraska is good, and they want to prove they can play with them on a consistent basis. Being over confident is something Nebraska must not let happen if they want to win a Big Ten title. Nothing has changed for the Cornhuskers they still must perform at a high level if they want to reach their goals. Big Ten or Big 12 you must perform on the field week after week.

Bo Pelini will have the Cornhuskers ready for the Big Ten, but you cannot go in over confident or counting on wins. You have to treat each game as important not looking past any opponent. The Big Ten has many good teams that would love to say they beat Nebraska in their first season in the Big Ten. Over confidence is something Nebraska must stay away in their first season in the Big Ten.

Big Ten Legends Preview: Your Winner Is?

Today we will look at the Big Ten Legends Division and predict the winner and where others will finish. This is an interesting division and should be fun to watch for Big Ten fans all season long. Let's get started with the preview and crown the Legends Big Ten Winner.

6th:-Minnesota Golden Gophers

It seems Minnesota always struggles in college football and being in the legends division does not help them one bit. The biggest problem for the Gophers is they just do not have enough talent to compete and it will be another dismal year in Minnesota.

5th:-Michigan Wolverines

Michigan has fallen a long way in a short time. After a horrible performance in the Gator Bowl Michigan decided they needed a new coach and brought in Brady Hoke. Michigan has weapons on offense with QB Denard Robinson and others. On defense they gave up a lot of yards last year, but should be better. It is going to take some time.

4th: Michigan State Spartans

Not alot was expected of Michigan State last season and they pulled on a 11-2 record. The schedule was favorable and they had some luck on their side as well. I do not see Michigan State having such luck this season though. Sparty must go to Notre Dame, Ohio State, Nebraska, Iowa and Northwestern. That makes it real tough on them.

3rd: Iowa Hawkeyes

Iowa was a disappointment in 2010 after a good season in 2009. It seems when Iowa disappoints one year they come back the next year with a vengeance. I look for it to be that way this season. Look for Iowa to be much better this coming season.

2nd: Northwestern Wildcats

Northwestern had a great year, but it could have been much better. If quarterback Dan Persa can stay healthy the sky is the limit for Northwestern. They no longer are a surprise in the Big Ten and could challenge for the title.

1st: Nebraska Cornhuskers

Nebraska comes from the Big 12 to the Big Ten, but it should not be that much of an adjustment for them. The Cornhuskers have loads of talent on both sides of the ball and should win the Legends division without a problem. The adjustment period should not last long for them.

2011 San Diego Chargers NFL Preview

The San Diego Chargers have high expectations, but they have that every year and it seems they never reach it. San Diego always starts slow it seems, but picks it up towards the end and they cannot continue to do that. The one thing the San Diego Chargers must do in 2011 and that is be more consistent on both sides of the ball.

On offense the Chargers have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Phillip Rivers. He can do anything you ask of him and has emerged as a team leader in the process. The one area that the Chargers need to improve on is being able to run the ball an area they struggled in last season. They have some talented wide receivers and one of the best tight ends in Antonio Gates.

The defense is something last season the Chargers can build on. Ranked No.1 based on yards per game given up. The problem for the Chargers were on special teams where they gave up plenty of big plays that put them in bad situations. This cannot happen this season if the Chargers want to contend.

San Diego is the class of the AFC West, but the problem is they do not play like it all the time. This has been a recurring problem for the Chargers. If they want to win a NFL title they must be more consistent and play like they want to win a title. They have the talent, but they still have to perform on the field. That is something so far they have not been able to do.

Adam Scott And Steve Williams Get Last Laugh

Adam Scott played virtually mistake free this weekend at Firestone and captured his first World Title. Scott was very happy with the win, but maybe his caddy was even more happier for him. Steve Williams caddie for Adam Scott after be let go by Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods also played in the tournament, but struggled for the most part.

Steve Williams was all smiles and called this is great victory as a caddie. Considering all the times that he won with Woods you can tell he harbors resentment for being let go like he was. I look for Scott and Williams to win a lot more times and I am sure he will continue to harbor ill will towards Woods.

Brett Favre Tells Miami No Thanks

The Miami Dolphins are so desperate for quarterback help even the drop of Brett Favre does not seem to help. Favre who is retired came out to say he is not interested in playing football for the Miami Dolphins. For Dolphin fans that was a blow to them. as they would do anything to have a big name quarterback leading their team.

Right now the Dolphins have Chad Henne leading them and most Dolphin fans boo him on the practice field these days. You really cannot blame Dolphin fans who have not had a good quarterback since the days of Dan Marino. All Miami fans want is someone they can attach to that will show up every week and give them a good performance. That is not Chad Henne and Dolphin fans know it.

Why Taylor Martinez Needs A Passing Game To Take That Next Step

Taylor Martinez came onto the scene last year an made an impact no Cornhusker fan could have expected or even dreamed about. For some time Martinez was being mentioned as a Heisman Trophy candidate, but after some injuries that dream was gone. If Nebraska has envisions of a National Championship they must keep Taylor Martinez healthy this season. Last season, Martinez threw for 1,631 yards last season and rushed for 1,195 yards. Those were great numbers, but could have been a lot better. If Taylor Martinez wants to take the next step the Cornhuskers he must have a passing game.

Last season Nebraska expected too much from Martinez. Early in the season he was able to make big plays, but later in the season teams knew he would not hurt them with his arm. That will need to change if Martinez and the Huskers have National Championship ideas. By getting a passing game it will also limit the hits Martinez will have to take, which should cut down on the injuries. If Nebraska continues to ask Martinez to do it without a passing game he will not make through a full season with the Huskers. It is paramount for Nebraska to keep Taylor Martinez upright and give him a legitimate passing game this season.
