FEATURE | “I wish people knew the ‘why.'"

Why does Antrell Taylor — Nebraska wrestling's first homegrown champion since 2000 — fight so hard?

His father + brother never gave up on him.

Now, after their deaths, he refuses to give up on them.

Why does Antrell Taylor 'fight so hard?' Because his father and brother never left his corner

"Let's go, Trelly. Turn up." Even after death, the voices of Antrell Taylor's father and brother push him forward. The result: a national championship run.

NEW | Matt Rhule didn't shy away from the Penn State questions — even though he didn't answer them in a way that would have put Nebraska fans at ease.

What's next? Weeks of speculation.

Amie Just: Matt Rhule didn’t dodge the Penn State talk — but the speculation won’t stop there

Matt Rhule is a candidate to lead his beloved alma mater, Penn State. But he also loves what he's building at Nebraska. What wins out?

If I had a nickel for every time I was on a flight while Nebraska volleyball beat a highly ranked team in 2025, I'd have three nickels — which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened thrice.

2 years ago Nebraska would've found 19 ways to lose this game. Tonight they only found 16, so they won

COLUMN | “That was monumental right there.”

Was it perfect for Nebraska? Sure wasn’t. But the Huskers found some late-game magic and they’re leaving College Park with more than a win.

They’re leaving with belief.
