Huskers set to host 2026 four-star Miami Hurricanes commit

Former Husker Hoops Assistant Jimmy Williams Passes Away
Former Husker men’s basketball assistant coach Jimmy Williams passed away Monday at the age of 77.

Former Husker rival to call Week 2 Colorado matchup
Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy will join NBC Sports’ coverage of Big Ten football this fall. His first game will be the Colorado-Nebraska matchup in the second week of the season, according to On3’s Steve Samra. McCoy had a successful college career, recording 13,253 passing yards in four seasons with the Longhorns. He also has a Nebraska connection, as he beat the Huskers 13-12 in the 2009 Big 12 Conference Championship Game. McCoy struggled in that contest, recording 184 passing yards and three interceptions on the afternoon. The Nebraska defense did all it could, as Ndamukong Suh led the way with 12 tackles and 4.5 sacks. Nevertheless, it was not enough. Now, McCoy will view the game differently as the Huskers look to beat Colorado for the first time since the 2010 season. They were unsuccessful last year in their trip to Boulder, losing by a 36-14 score. McCoy will have his fingerprints all over this game in multiple ways. It’s an interesting subplot in what should be an exciting game.
