LETTER FROM THE EDITOR All I don’t think I’ll ever forget going home for fall break my freshman year. I was stressed out trying to learn how to balance homework and studying and sleeping more than a few hours every night thanks to my 7:30 a.m. class. I was learning how to cover volleyball, a game I’d never played, for The Daily Nebraskan and was all but at the end of my rope. And then, fall break came and saved me a bit. I pulled into Kansas City at about 8 p.m., the Killers blaring from my red s-10 Chevy pickup and acorns popping under my tires as I drove around my block a few times. It wasn’t that I hated Lincoln and wanted to get away. I loved my new Nebraska home. I’m a staunch believer that you should be in college while you’re in college. You should figure out Lincoln and learn to love it, go home as little as possible and truly enjoy college. But with that said, fall break comes at the perfect time to head home and rejuvenate. Don’t be afraid to blow off a road trip to head home. It might just be what you need. Classes have officially geared up, and the inevitable common cold has already gone through campus twice now. Head home and eat a homecooked meal for once and catch up with what your parents are doing. It’s easy to forget that their lives have probably changed more than yours just by you not being there. Go play fetch with your dog outside or walk him around the block and say hi to your neighbor you used to see all the time. Drive by your high school. Maybe catch a football game Friday night. Go see your high school friends who go to different schools, go hang out where you used to every Saturday growing up.

Slow down a bit. Take a breath. Take time to not do anything. I remember driving back into Lincoln my freshman year ready to tackle the rest of the semester. Soon, it was colder and I had a new list of problems, including not having gloves on those 7:30 a.m. walks in November. But I was way more ready to handle tests and my to-do lists because for a little bit over fall break, I took a load off. There’s a sense of home that gets lost a little bit during college. We’re so consumed by our to-do lists and squeezing every ounce of productivity and entertainment in each thing we do every day, a trip home to do the little things can sometimes save us a little bit from ourselves.

Staff at the Nebraska Innovation Campus and the Nebraska Alumni Association brought people together to celebrate both Football Friday and the newly-opened research campus

Innovation Campus holds joint tour day for Football Friday JACOB ELLIOTT DN The Nebraska Innovation Campus opened with a session of tours in combination with the Nebraska Alumni Association’s Football Friday last Friday. The tours went through the new Food Processing Center and the

Greenhouse Innovation Center. Tour guides revealed much of the Food Processing Center ’s new, state-of-the-art technology. According to the guides, the area has increased dramatically in size, and includes new appliances for baking, freezing, texturizing, pressure cooking and much more. The number of students the facility can

hold has also increased from 30 to 90 students, not including those who can tune in online. As well as conducting university sponsored work, the new center also lends a hand to outside companies for additional funding. As noted on the tour, some 60 percent to 65 percent of work is funded by outside organi-

zations. This allows both students and staff to further examine the taste, texture and other variables in food. “I have clients throughout Nebraska, and some throughout the country, that send in product,” said Julie Reiling, a food scientist at the center. “I serve it to our panelists. We have touch screen monitors on the other

It comes back to my computer, analyze the data and send it back to my client.” At the Greenhouse Innovation Center, guests were shown around several violet-lit rooms where plants moved on small conveyer belts. These belts connected to the LemnaTec machine, a gigantic device that filled up most the room. The machine would, periodically, take measurements and photos of each of the plants in the room, moving each plant by conveyor belt. Depending on the measure-

ments, the machine would then water and feed each of the plants. According to tour guide Vincent Stoerger, by using this machine, those at UNL can find out more information about the day-to-day growth cycle of plants. Scientists can also more accurately test these plants for drought conditions as well as other factors by changing the conditions that each plant face. Many university alumni at the event were excited for the new Innovation Campus. “I think the innovation campus brings to Nebraska the ability to attract private indus-

try,” said alumnus Gene Crump, “It’s allowing them to collaborate with the university. Food sciences, computerization, structural things... it’s a good partnership with private business and the university. It allows them to do bigger and better things.” The Football Friday event was held at the Nebraska Innovation Campus main building as a joint event to make the Innovation Campus opening that much bigger. The UNL marching band started the night off with fanfare, as guests watched, eating Runzas and snacking on Dairy Store Ice cream.

The Football Friday event started with a quick opening by Dan Duncan, who remarked how quickly the Innovation campus had come since the initial ground breaking ceremony in November 2012. The speech was followed by a brief panel on the Husker ’s current season and two short videos about the innovation campus.

Car accidents, MIPs dominate weekly crime 5 medical emergencies, 5 traffic accidents and 5 Minor in Possession charges comprise this week’s crime LUKAS ZIEMBA DN The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department responded to four vandalism incidents — including vandalism to the Nebraska Union — as well as three stolen bikes and five car accidents. After 7 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 11, UNLPD officers were dispatched to investigate vandalism at the Nebraska Union. A brick was thrown through the window pane of a southeast glass door. The police report said the unknown persons did not gain access into the building. The vandalism caused $200 in damage, according to the report. On Thursday, Oct. 8 and Friday, Oct.

9, officers responded to three separate reports of stolen bicycles. On Thursday, a surveillance camera observed a male cutting a lock off of a bicycle and stealing the bike from the rack near the Kauffman Residence Center. Later, the male was located riding the bike near 16th and C streets. He dropped the bike and eluded capture. The bike was tagged by UNLP and is waiting to be picked up by the owner. Srgt. Zachary Byers at the UNLPD said it is best for students to protect their bikes with a proper lock. “Students can make sure that their bikes are locked with a lock that cannot be easily manipulated,” he said. “The thicker the cable, the harder it is to cut through.” There were five separate car accidents this week, none of which involved injuries. On Tuesday, Oct. 6, UNL police were contacted because of a vehicle vs. building accident at East Campus Activities Building. It was determined that the vehicle involved was too tall for the entryway located on the southwest side of the building, which was not marked with a maximum height sign. The building received no structural damage, according to the report.

On Wednesday, Oct. 7 around 10:45 p.m., a non-UNL affiliate Artis Pruitt, was contacted on a traffic stop, and the officer observed signs of being under the influence of drugs. In a probable cause search, officers found an open bottle of alcohol, a marijuana grinder and four marijuana roaches, according to the report. Pruitt failed standard sobriety tests and admitted to being “high,” according to the report. The vehicle had no registration, and Pruitt was cited for DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, open container and no valid registration. Two UNL student athletes reported theft of items while participating in an athletic competition at Michigan State University between Sept. 19 and Sept. 20. One of the students had credit card information used to make an unauthorized purchase. Another student had a pair of Beats headphones taken from the team’s bus, according to the report. The case was turned over to the Michigan State University Police Department.

Still no results for required fall assault training EMMA OLSON DN A team of University of Nebraska-Lincoln officials are still waiting for results from the sexual misconduct training offered to university students and staff. For the first month of the fall semester, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Juan Franco emailed students weekly to encourage them to participate in the sexual misconduct training. The training, a 45-minute program comprised of videos and information about sexual misconduct, ended with a quiz. According to Franco’s emails, students were required to take the program. Rumors were circulated that the program was also required of graduate students before they could complete their studies. “It is not required to take before gradu-

ate students are able to graduate,” Laurie Bellows, the associate dean to the office of graduate studies, said. “It’s a shame that such misinformation is out there.” Susan Foster, the director of Institutional Equity and Compliance, said staff communicated that the training was required to encourage as many students as possible to take it. “We feel it is important that every student understands expectations, resources and reporting options,” Foster said. The university will not receive specific results of the test at the end of the training. It will, however, see how many students passed the quiz with an 80 percent or higher. If they do not pass, they have to retake the quiz in order to complete it. The team of university personnel involved in the training is hopeful for promising results when they receive the information

on completion from a third party service. Bellows said there are two reasons why students, faculty and staff have been asked to complete the program. First, the Office of Civil Rights, the Department of Education and the Clery Act require the above groups to receive training in specific categories. These categories include campus policy addressing sexual misconduct, the potential consequences for violating the policy, the available resources, reporting options, what to do if you experience sexual assault and information on the scope of the problem of sexual assault on college campuses. Bellows said the other reason the program was offered was UNL’s commitment to maintain and enhance a safe campus community. “The university hopes to maintain and enhance a safe campus community by having students, faculty and staff complete the

online training.” Bellows said. “The community must be educated as to conduct that constitutes sexual misconduct sot that we all understand expectations.” Foster said. Foster said the videos in this program provide this crucial information for our community. “They need to understand consent is required to engage in sexual activity,” Foster said. “They need to understand what consent is and how to obtain it.” Although this training is required by the Office of Civil Rights guidance, Foster said, “The university also seeks to eliminate sexual misconduct on our campus.” “To do that, we must raise awareness about what it is, how to prevent it and how to report concerns,” Foster said.

UNL above national average in student loan debt FLORA ZEMPLENI DN The smallest student loans may be the bigger problem, according to Justin Chase Brown, the director of Scholarships and Financial Aid at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “Nationally, there’s sort of a prevailing myth that students struggle with crippling debt, or they have a hundred thousand dollar debt,” Brown said. “But I think nationally, the bigger issue is actually the students with the smallest debts. And the reason they are smaller debts is probably because they were only in school for a semester or a year, and then, they drop out.” Brown said students who drop out have the most difficulty repaying their student loans. “I would make sure to talk with their loan servicers, or they even talk with their schools,” he said. “We wouldn’t really work with them, unless they knew to come and talk to us and try to get back into school because it will benefit them to get their degree and be able to successfully be able to pay off their loans.” However, student debt remains an issue for students at UNL. Emily Curtis, a senior mechanical engineer major, has never had to take out a loan but has been concerned with finances since starting college. Curtis has avoided loans while at UNL, going so far as quitting the UNL Crew team her sophomore year to focus on academics to keep her scholarship. “I just don’t want to have a debt, I guess,” Curtis said. “I think I’ve grown up in a household where debt is something that we really want to avoid and that we don’t want to acquire. So, I have this mentality that if I can avoid it at all cost, I should.” However, avoiding loans through the rest of her time at UNL might not be possible. “Recently, I might have to (take out a loan),” she said. “I’m trying really hard to get enough scholarship dollars so that I won’t have to.” For students who do take out loans, Brown said a standard repayment plan is 10 years. He said students should consider their overall debt and their potential salary after college when making these decisions. “You wouldn’t want your overall student loan debt, if you could help it, to be above what you think you would make your first year out of college,” Brown said. The median debt at UNL is $22,500, according to the College Scorecard, a website run by the U.S. Department of Education. “So, if you look at the median salary after attending UNL is $43,800, so I think we are, you know as an average, we are within that.” Curtis, who is originally from Oregon, said finances played a large role in deciding to come to UNL. “Cost-benefit or a return on an invest is very difficult to compare school by school,” Brown said. “I think UNL is very competitive in that regard.” The median debt calculated by College Scorecard includes only federal loans, not private student loans or Parent PLUS loans. “($22,500) is well below the national average, which hovers between 29,000 and 30,000,” Brown said. “It sounds like a lot when you’re talking about the lump sum, but when you go into repayment, your standard repayment is ten years and there are options for students, for graduates, to choose a

ART BY HALEY HEESACKER | DN different repayment plan, one that works better for them.” Students at UNL also pay down their debt at a higher rate, with 91 percent paying down their debts, compared to the 67 percent national average. According to the College Scorecard, this means 91 percent of students repay “at least $1 of the principal balance on their federal loans within three years of leaving school.”

Statewide, the numbers are similar. At Creighton University, the average federal student loan debt is $23,750. At the University of Nebraska Omaha, it is $21,000, and at Nebraska Wesleyan University, the average is $27,000. However, Brown said students shouldn’t directly compare with schools based on these numbers. “When you’re looking at something like that,

you are often times comparing apples to oranges. So, there are a lot of different factors going on. I think this is good descriptive information if you are looking at one school,” he said. “It doesn’t measure what kind of positive influence we are able to have on students. You wouldn’t be able to get that kind of information from this.”

House mother finds home in Delta Tau Delta LINDSAY ESPARRAGO DN Patricia Wade considers herself a mother of 120 boys. She lives with about 70 of them in a fraternity house and keeps all of her belongings in a room reserved just for her: the house mom of Delta Tau Delta. For Wade, Greek Row is her home and her family. “People look at me and laugh when I say I live with that many college boys,” Wade said, shaking her head. “People think it’s hilarious, but I’m proud of it. I take my job very seriously.” Wade is a Lincoln native and attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for a year. All of her family members joined a Greek house when they were in college, but Wade decided against it. Her mother was a member of Delta Gamma and her father, a member of Beta Theta Pi. Although never initiated, Wade said she feels as if she’s a part of the community. Living under the same roof as the men of Delta Tau Delta for four years now, and gaining insight into what really goes on in a fraternity house led Wade to label herself a “Greek.” “I know my mother in heaven is smiling down at me,” she said. Her transition from having no kids of her own to having to look over 120 fraternity men all began at a lunch date with Director of Greek Affairs Linda Schwartzkopf, who suggested that Wade try out a house mom position. “I laughed about it and said I would think about it,” Wade said. “But I also snuck in a preference… I told her to let me know if the Delts have an opening. I’ve never met a Delt I didn’t like.” Soon enough, Wade got the phone call and received her new title of “house mom.” She didn’t know how much time she would PHOTO BY ANDREW BARRY | DN spend getting to know names and faces, how much time would be occupied by laughing Patricia Wade has been the house mother of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity chapter at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln for the over the things she’d hear down the halls or, past four years.

Beau Poehlman juggles during bom circo!, a circus in Lincoln on Friday.

Yo-yos zipped, a gymnast flipped and a small group of performers graced the stage of the Wyuka stables on 3600 O St. The circus, bom circo!, has come and gone over the weekend, but drew more than a hundred audience members to its three performances. The show was about an hour long and involved six main performers. “I think it helps people break out of their everyday lives,” said Julia Utter, a gymnast. “I think it really helps people learn about the arts and appreciate the arts.” The show started off with a young girl in white face paint, played by Utter, as she pulled a bronze watch from a treasure box and flipped, twisted and cartwheeled around the stage to a cover of Fiona

Apple’s “Pure Imagination.” Utter was then shooed off stage as Kyle Maxwell, who called a volunteer up from the audience, placed a quarter on the person’s ear. Using only two yo-yos, he knocked the quarter off of the volunteer’s ear. The crowd laughed as Maxwell teased the volunteer, noting how dangerous the trick was and that the sound of the yo-yos whizzing past her ear was likened to “death approaching.” The third performance was that of “Ms. Wonder Fawl,” who snapped a whip to a remix version of “Rawhide.” Other performances included a juggling stunt by Beau Poehlman, hoop dancing by Brittney Pasika and a brisk, passionate dance done by Carlos Servan. Once all the performer showcased their act,

the performers began to mix. Multiple performers slowly popped on and off the stage, showing rivalries and friendship among each of the characters. The show ended with all the performers dancing in a small, tight circle in the dark; their wrists and props were lit by glow sticks and small lights, which gave it an eerie glow. Utter’s character then took the bronze watch, put it back in the box and snapped the lid tightly shut, ending the show with a loud clap. Beau Poehlman, president of bom circo! and performance juggler, said one of the reasons the circus went so well was the crowd’s enthusiasm. “A bigger crowd naturally gives me a little bit more excitement, which makes me a bit more nervous, which is actually required or normal,” Poehl-

man said. “If you are doing a performance of any kind and you’re not a little bit nervous, then something is wrong.” According to Poehlman, the future of bom circo! is unknown. While they still plan on performing shows in Lincoln, a committee of members will decide what their next show will be and when it will take place. But Poehlman is optimistic. “The fact that we had a bigger showing is a true testament that we are growing and gaining a bit of momentum,” he said.

10 SPORTS Week seven match up score predictions MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2015 DAILYNEBRASKAN.COM

STAFF DN

consin. Nebraska will win, but it won’t be a very high-scoring game. The Huskers have a hard time delivering on third down and especially in the red zone. Kicker Drew Brown tied an NCAA record this season; a few field goals against Minnesota are inevitable. And the Husker defense? It looked good against Wisconsin. Joshua Kalu, Chris Weber, Jonathan Rose and Marcus Newby really stepped it up on Saturday, and Wisconsin suffered because of it. Still, the defense will most likely give up some points to the Golden Gophers. And there’s something to say for the fact that it’s a road game, too. On top of that, we can’t forget the fact that Minnesota is 4-2. Its record is better than Nebraska, and maybe it’s because the team’s schedule has been easier, but that also means its confidence is higher. Regardless, it’ll be another close game. But at this point, are we even surprised?

Josh Kelly, Senior Sports Editor Minnesota 27, Nebraska 23

Heading into the season, no one would’ve been able to guess that a 2-4 Nebraska team would be visiting a 4-2 Minnesota team. No one would’ve guessed that the Gophers would be tied for third in the Big Ten West with Wisconsin and Illinois, either. But that’s just how this season has gone so far. Nebraska has lost by a combined 11 points in its four losses, and Minnesota hasn’t lived up to expectations at all. The Gophers’ largest margin of victory this season came on Saturday when they defeated Purdue 41-13. The next closest is a three-way tie among their wins against Colorado State, Kent State and Ohio, which were won by a field goal. So, neither have done anything special this season. It’s tough to tell whether the worst is behind Nebraska. Each week, you think they’ll bounce back and yell the “Hip-Hip-Hooray” chant along with Mike Riley. But each week, they’ve manage to let the game slip away at the last second. This week, Nebraska and Minnesota will exchange leads plenty of times. Minnesota will be the last to get the ball, though. The Gophers will win their third game in a row against the Huskers.

Brett Nierengarten, Online Sports Editor Nebraska 17, Minnesota 13

In my season preview for the Huskers, I had them dropping this game to Minnesota, but as bad as things have looked for Nebraska, this season things may be worse at Minnesota. The Gophers are 4-2 and have also won a conference game, but those numbers are not indicative for how bad Minnesota has been this season. The Gophers four wins have come against Colorado State, Ohio, Kent State and Purdue. The first three were by a combined nine points. This is going to be one of those cringe-worthy games for Big Ten offenses. Minnesota’s offense had struggled moving the ball until Saturday’s 41-13 win against Purdue. And they moved the ball on the ground, rushing for 326 yards as a team. Even with 41 points last week, the Gophers still have the worst scoring offense in the Big Ten. Mitch Leidner has struggled this season. He has thrown only six touchdown passes and has

Michael Dixon, Football Beat Writer Nebraska 20, Minnesota 10 GRAPHIC BY DUNCAN REED | DN

completed 57 percent of his passes for 1,009 yards, with only 59 against Purdue. Minnesota does most of its damage in the run game, Nebraska has the third best run defense in the league. I expect a good game from the Husker defense, and think, Nebraska gets just enough done on offense to win.

Nick Wilkinson, Print Sports Editor Minnesota 27, Nebraska 17

Jerry Kill and his Golden Gophers are working on their third straight win against Nebraska. With the way Nebraska’s season is going, things are looking great for kill this weekend. I’ve heard countless times this season that Nebraska is so many seconds from being undefeated. Why is that relevant? The Huskers made mistakes late in the game, and they lost. Mark Banker’s defense gave up more than 60 yards in less than a minute to Wisconsin last Saturday. Those final minutes that have kept Nebraska from a 6-0 record are there for a reason. Besides an embarrassing loss to Northwest-

ern in Evanston two weeks ago, the Gophers are hoping a win against Nebraska will vault them into leading the Big Ten West. I’ll bet you they want this win more than the Huskers do. But who needs it more? There are a handful of Huskers dying for a consistent leap into the rest of the season, one of which is junior quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. To me, Armstrong looks like a completely different player than last year and has what it takes to lead his team to victories. All that’s stopping Armstrong is the defensive secondary playing musical chairs. They can’t find the right pieces to complete their deep pass protection. Again, they let a quarterback pass for more than 320 yards. When that stops, they will win.

Vanessa Daves, Football Beat Writer Nebraska 20 – Minnesota 17

Minnesota’s 4-2, and Nebraska’s record is the opposite of that. The last two meetings have resulted in a Minnesota win, but this time, it’ll be different. Minnesota was defeated by Northwestern last weekend, and Nebraska almost won against Wis-

Can it get any worse? The answer’s yes, and a loss in Minneapolis could be the darkest moment in the program’s history. For all intents and purposes, Nebraska is three first downs away from being 5-1. But the revered Bill Parcells used to say, “You are what you are.” I tend to believe that to be true, and for that reason, look for Nebraska to finally turn this disastrous season around with a win. The Huskers are better than Minnesota, but they badly need to play like it. While a run to Indianapolis is all-but-farce, bowl eligibility isn’t out of the question. Nebraska’s pass defense, outside of Wisconsin’s final two drives, has improved significantly, and next up is Mitch Leidner, who was benched against Northwestern and wasn’t too far away from losing his job completely against Purdue. In general, with the Gophers’ 41-point breakout against Purdue an outlier, Minnesota won’t move the ball easily. Nebraska’s defense is stout enough to keep UM at bay long enough for quarterback Tommy Armstrong to regain his footing and lead Nebraska to victory. It’ll be close, but Nebraska will finally break this nasty curse of losing on the final play -- if not, 3-9 or 4-8 becomes a haunting reality.

Freshman volleyball player makes early impact AUSTIN MOYLAN DN Any season is going to have its ups and downs, both from a team perspective and on an individual basis. For freshmen, these peaks and valleys are usually more notice-

able and often more dramatic as they try to adjust to the college game. For Nebraska freshman Mikaela Foecke, consistency seemed to come easy during the first month of the season. She notched at least seven kills in each of her first 13 matches of the season and tallied double digit kills in six

straight matches from Sept. 5 to Sept. 19. After posting a career-high 22 kills in Nebraska’s upset of No. 1 Penn State, Foecke slipped into what seemed to be the first real slump of her young career. The following night, against Ohio State, Foecke only managed four kills and had a negative hit-

Rifle team faces early struggle in season opener The Nebraska rifle team’s season started off rocky in Colorado Springs with losses to Air Force and West Virginia last weekend STAFF DN The Nebraska rifle team began the 2015-16 season with back-to-back matches in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The team faced No. 7 Air Force on Saturday, Oct. 10 and No. 1 West Virginia on Sunday, Oct. 11. The team narrowly lost to Air Force: the final score was 4,662 - 4,680. Two days in a row, the Nebraska rifle team produced strong air rifle performances, including a 594 by freshman Hannah Virga. However, the Huskers were defeated on Sunday by defending national champion West Virginia by a score of 4,654 - 4,714. In air rifle against Air Force, Nebraska held close with a final score of 2,357-2,358.

Junior Jaycee Carter and Virga finished with scores of 591, while junior Rachel Martin finished with a score of 593. Despite the strong performance in air rifle, Air Force managed to stretch out the lead in small bore. Air Force ended up beating Nebraska in the event with a score of 2,322 to 2,305. Senior Denise Martin scored 581, senior Magdalena Mical scored 577, and Martin scored 575. Coach Ashley Rose-MacAllister said she is hopeful that the team was simply dealing with the nerves that come with the first match of the season. “Today was a great start to the year,” Rose-MacAllister said. “The amount of effort I saw was wonderful. The nerves seemed to get the best of us overall. With it being the first match, that is to be expected, but we are going to take what we have learned from today to better prepare us for our match on Sunday.” Nebraska has a bye week, but is back in action when the team travels to Fort Worth, Texas, to take on Memphis on Oct. 24 and TCU on Oct. 25. Both matches are set to begin at 8 a.m.

KELLY: Hope in Husker football starting to fade JOSH KELLY DN After all of the misfortunes that happened this season, Nebraska football was exciting for a moment. Fullback Andy Janovich had just tore up the field for a 55-yard touchdown run, the longest score of the season, to give Nebraska a 21-20 lead against Wisconsin with 3:38 left. The Husker sideline was as ecstatic as ever and the 89,886 fans inside Memorial Stadium, young and old, were dancing with joy as DJ Kool’s “Let Me Clear My Throat” was being blasted through the speakers. For a brief moment, fans were excited about this program. But, after the song stopped with plenty of time for Wisconsin to score, all of the energy slowly faded away as the Huskers let another game slip through their hands. These losses are a perfect microcosm of the impression coach Mike Riley and his staff get each week. Fans want them to be successful. They think the staff could be successful. But ultimately, it ends up falling short, leaving fans in a confusing state that is rare at Nebraska. Fans want the excitement back. It’s something that’s easy to harness, but tough for teams like this to hold onto. What we know about this season so far is that Nebraska isn’t a team that wins by luck. There wasn’t going to be another missed field goal by Wisconsin on the last drive. What separates the Huskers from those moving ahead of them in

the College Football food chain, is the ability to put the game away when it needs to happen. That was evident yet again on Saturday. Last week, they couldn’t put the game away because of miscommunication on the play calls. This week, they weren’t able to produce on the last drive. The three runs straight up the middle were a pretty straight forward attempt that didn’t pan out at all. Wisconsin knew it’d get the ball back. Nebraska was trying to play a game of hide the ball under the cup. The problem was that the Huskers never mixed it up to throw the Badgers off. This year’s Nebraska team is a team that forgot how to win and how to put a game away when they have sole control of it. The coaches don’t really know what it feels like to win at Nebraska, either. Both wins this season came against South Alabama and Southern Mississippi, which are low-tier programs no matter which angle you look at it. Every week we’ve all heard the same thing over and over again from Mike Riley. “I really like this team, and I like how they come practice and they did that and got ready to play and we fell short.” Let’s face it. We’ve all heard it before and Riley acknowledged it by saying it’s “a broken record” that he’s told the media many times, more than he probably wanted to when he took the job. As soon as the clock hit zero with another loss to Wisconsin, there were two groups of

The Huskers lost Saturday in another hearbreaking loss, this time to Wisconsin.

Nebraska swim-dive pick up their first win Nebraska earned their first regular season win at the Devaney Natatorium Friday afternoon STAFF DN The Huskers picked up their first victory of the season by beating Iowa State, 187-113 during the Friday afternoon meet at the Devaney Natatorium. Coming into the meet Nebraska was sitting at 0-1 after a tough loss to SEC powerhouse Arkansas. Nebraska swept the top three spots in the 50-yard freestyle with Taryn Collura leading the way with a time of 23.53. She was followed by teammates Alexandra Bilunas (23.78) and Erin Oeltjen (24.43). Collura led the team again in the 100yard freestyle with a time of 51.47 followed by freshman Lindsay Helferich (53.05) and Bria Deveaux (53.16). Nebraska continued to sweep events. Katt Sickle and Kaylyn Flatt placed first and second in the 500-yard freestyle with times of 5:05.12 and 5:10.54. Flatt also took advantage of another opportunity to seize a victory in the 1,000-yard freestyle in which she grabbed a first place time of 10:30.22.

Like Flatt, Sickle wasn’t just satisfied with a single victory. In the 200-yard freestyle, Sickle swam to a first place win with a time of 1:53.79. Teammate Bria Deveaux finished closely behind with a time of 1:55.17. Much like her last meet, Anna Filipcic dominated the diving well by securing first place wins in the three-meter dive with a score and in the one-meter dive. Nicole Schwery finished second in the three-meter with a score of 285.75 and Francesca Giganti secured the third sweep for Nebraska with a third place score of 250.35. This marks the second straight week that Filipcic has taken home first in both of her diving events. During the meet’s backstroke events, Jacqueline Juffer took care of business for the Huskers by taking first place in the 100-yard backstroke with a solid time of 56.29. In the 200-yard backstroke, Oeltjen secured a second place finish with a time of 2:03.77 In both 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke events, Jordan Ehly took home second place with a time of 1:05.77 in the 100 and 2:20.34 in the 200-yard event. Ehly also finished with a third place time of 2:09.71 in the 200-yard individual medley. Overall the meet, proved to be a dominating one for the Huskers as they seized victories in 10 of the 16 events. One of those events being the final one of the day with the 400-yard freestyle team of Collura, Oeltjen, Deveaux and Helferich who posted a golden time of 3:31.86

KELLY: FROM 12 fans in Memorial Stadium. There were the fans who were wanting to leave as soon as possible, trying to wipe out the last couple minutes from their memory. Then there were the confused fans sitting in their seats, still in disbelief that they’re team lost yet another one. The second group grew immensely in numbers since the last home loss. Those fans had to face the fact that Wisconsin exited Memorial Stadium with its first ever win in Lincoln. They now have to face

the fact that the team they hold so dear is on the verge of missing bowl action for the first time since 2007, the year coach Bill Callahan was fired. Defensive coordinator Mark Banker was on point when he said after the game there aren’t any moral victories. A loss is a loss, and is that ever so true for this team. This season, the Huskers have lost by a combined 11 points. Compare that to last year when Wisconsin beat Nebraska by 35 points, though. Which one is worse for fans

to swallow? Nebraska’s on track to possibly its worst season this generation has ever seen. The last time Nebraska’s lost more than seven games was back in 1957 when Bill Jennings went 1-9 in his first season as Nebraska’s head coach. It didn’t get much better for him as he never surpassed a record above .500 in his five seasons at Nebraska. Whether Husker Nation handles a season like that or not is an even scarier scenario that I myself don’t even want to think about

in early October. There’s still six games left in the season and the excitement continues to fade away. The fans who were in attendance at Memorial Stadium on Saturday probably wish they could back and relive the moment when “Let Me Clear My Throat” was being blasted. Ironically, though, their team choked after the pump-up song was played.
