    Crick sees progress; Combine next step
    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Jared Crick stepped off the treadmill and climbed off the exercise bike feeling pretty good about himself this week in Indianapolis. The recovery from a torn pectoral muscle is still in progress, and the former Nebraska defensive tackle doesn't discount being 100 percent when he returns for the NFL Combine. »

    Wildcats go long, outlast Huskers

    Nebraska's defense Thursday night at Northwestern made a major miscalculation. The Husker men chose to clog the lane in the first half, daring the opponents to shoot 3-pointers. Northwestern obliged, hitting 10 of 19 from long range to take a 15-point halftime lead, then hung on for an 84-74 victory. Nebraska, down 41-26 after 20 minutes, cut the deficit to 54-53 with 10:39 left in the game and to 75-72 with 1:36 left.

The senior from Tipton, Iowa, has done so well in every event she's competed in this winter that distance coach Dave Harris said they'll have a hard time deciding which events to enter her in at the Big Ten track and field indoor championships Feb. 24 and 25 in Lincoln.

    Huskers lose Cooper to leg injury

    A leg injury will force two-sport athlete Khiry Cooper to sit out the season with the Nebraska baseball team, head coach Darin Erstad announced Thursday. Cooper suffered the injury while contributing as a wide receiver for the football team last fall. He had to be helped off the field after the first offensive snap in the third quarter against Penn State on Nov. 12.

    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.With the No. 7 Nebraska wrestling team set to face a pair of top five-ranked opponents this weekend, it would be easy for Husker fans to dial up the hype to unprecedented levels. But NU's 184-pounder Josh Ihnen said while defending national champion Penn State and No. 4 Minnesota offer the Huskers a measuring stick for their ability, this weekend's outcomes won't be the full measure of Nebraska's season.

"Notre Dame's got nothing on us," he said to Jordan Westerkamp. By all accounts, Pelini is a low-pressure recruiter. And throughout Nebraska's courting of the most prolific receiver in Illinois state history, he'd been just that. But on the night of Dec. 15, as Westerkamp chewed on whether to visit the Fighting Irish, Pelini was animated in Westerkamp's house.

    McKewon: Peat's pick hurts, but defense reloads

    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Don't just ignore the elephant in the room. Offensive tackle Andrus Peat chose Stanford over Nebraska (and his defensive tackle brother Todd, and his cousin and 2012 commit Avery Moss). And that decision stings. "As I understand, It went down to the last few seconds beforehand," coach Bo Pelini said. He found out when you did. A potential All-American is heading to The Cardinal Farm for "school" and "fit" and all the other things you say when you don't want to admit, well, Stanford is closer,...

    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Two years, two Peats ... and almost too much drama. The only difference was that this one didn't go Nebraska's way. Touted offensive tackle Andrus Peat went relatively deep into national signing day before picking Stanford over the Huskers. The added punch in the gut was that the Nebraska staff basically found out along with those watching his announcement on ESPNU.
