It’s safe to say freshman tight end Nate Boerkircher will never forget his first catch as a Nebraska Cornhusker. There’s just no way that’s ever going to happen.

Nebraska’s win Saturday over FCS Fordham will be long forgotten by many. While it was a much-needed win for a confidence-starved group, it just won’t register for most fans.  However, Nebraska’s 52-7 win over Fordham will be remembered for a long time by the Boerkircher brothers.

 It’s no secret the Betterhalf is possibly one of the top female Husker football fans. A week ago her Husker loyalty took a challenge after the Cornhusker’s loss to Illinois. She was asked if her Husker loyalty was fading. That was a silly question!

Captain Oz sure has a nice ring to it.  Austin Allen made it no secret since spring ball that his goal was to become a captain for the Nebraska football team.  A young man who has so many Nebraska youth looking up to him, both literally and figuratively, proved achieving your goals is possible.

“How’s it going, Oz?” The voice Austin Allen heard through the zoom call was all too familiar. The Aurora native has heard it quite a bit in his lifetime.  The smile that came over his face when his former coach asked him a question was all that needed to be said.
Aurora native Nate Boerkircher had his first Nebraska football game experience during the Husker Spring Game earlier this year, including the tunnel walk as shown here.

The beautiful, flowing hair from the back of his helmet makes him stand out in the crowd.  It’s a unique look, something that’s required a ton of patience to come in and now, enjoy the spoils of a business in the front, party in the back look.
Austin Allen was one of three Nebraska football players to represent the Huskers at Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis last week.

Austin Allen isn’t much of a coffee guy. He doesn’t drink any soda, either -- hasn’t since 2011.  The former Husky has plenty of natural energy, leaving before dawn Thursday morning on a flight for Big Ten Media days in Indianapolis as the spokesman for the Huskers offense.  That’s a huge deal.
