Husker Roundup

Bo Pelini and Tom Osborne negotiated Bo’s contract one-on-one without agents. There is no truth to the rumor that they don’t have a contract, just a handshake.

In his championship game, Cody Green completed 21 of 34 passes with six TDs.

Huskers have four days off for the holidays.

Nebraska's recruiting strategy includes targeting players from great high school programs:

“We’re not targeting guys only from great teams,” NU defensive coordinator Carl Pelini said, “but we put a strong emphasis in our recruiting on character. And it’s amazing, when you zero in on character, you’re finding kids who are winners and who are winning championships.”

A correlation exists, the Huskers believe, between success at the prep level and the attributes for which Nebraska is searching to infuse at home.

The theory goes like this: Players from dominant high school programs understand the work necessary during the season and offseason to ease the transition into college. In addition, the Huskers hope the winning ways of their recruits will infect the hallways and meeting rooms at Memorial Stadium.
