Nebraska Cornhuskers (corn)



Just sayin': Ohio State tried a cell phone light show Saturday night in the game against WMU. They did it with your cell phone light after loading some APP; the cell phone lights were supposed to blink with the stadium PA music. However, it was in the 4th quarter with the score 49-0 and over half the fans had already left. It wasn't all that impressive......:sad3:

Yeah - I've seen it when they did it in the first quarter. Or maybe between first and second quarter. It's kinda neat. Not really worth the price of admission, on its own. But still neat.

Nebraska received a commitment from three-star quarterback Dayton Raiola on Sunday evening. Raiola, the younger brother of current Cornhuskers starting quarterback Dylan Raiola and son of former Nebraska offensive lineman Dominic Raiola, is the No. 53 quarterback prospect in the class of 2026.

"THE LEGACY CONTINUES," Raiola wrote in his commitment announcement on social media.



The younger Raiola is in his first season starting at Georgia's Buford High School, where he has stepped in for his older brother, and has thrown for 564 yards and four touchdowns through four games. He chose Nebraska over reported offers from Appalachian State and Charlotte.

Huskers in fine form after 5-week hiatus

The 1918 Cornhuskers, ending a five-week layoff forced by the Spanish influenza pandemic, shut out an Omaha Balloon School team studded with college players from such schools as West Virginia, Georgia, Penn, Washington and Penn State.
The game with the Army trainees from Fort Omaha was arranged after Nebraska’s Nov. 2 game at Missouri was canceled because of the deadly flu outbreak.
It was a colorful Saturday in Lincoln. The Balloonists brought with them a brass band, a live black bear mascot, an airplane and a big yellow balloon.
With about two minutes left in the first quarter, quarterback Harry Howarth’s one-yard plunge gave Nebraska a 6-0 lead. In the second period, halfback Elmer Schellenberg ran 14 yards to the one-yard line and scored from there for a 13-0 advantage. The final tally came late in the game when Howarth found with Clarence Swanson in the end zone for a five-yard touchdown pass.
The Lincoln Star reported that Schellenberg and fullback Ernest Hubka “were the main driving rods of the Nebraska attack, while on the defense the Husker forwards played rings around the Balloon team’s line. The fact that the army players failed to negotiate a single first down provides the best evidence of the defensive improvement of the Nebraska forwards.”
Schellenberg would not play again in 1918. He left the team the following week to enter officers training school.
