HUSKER

OFFENSE

Anticipation is high for the debut of Nebraska’s new offense, as fans prepare for Scott Frost’s fast-paced system. The excitement is understandable given Frost’s history that includes being a part of seven top-five scoring offenses in nine seasons as an offensive coach. Frost’s offense led the nation in scoring and ranked fifth in total offense last season at Central Florida. With Frost’s reputation and the fact that the entire offensive coaching staff followed Frost to Lincoln, expectations are high for the Husker offense this fall. While expectations are always welcome at a traditional power like Nebraska, it may take time for the offense to look like fans expect. While UCF ranked in the top five nationally in both scoring and total offense last season, the Knights took time to hit their stride in Frost’s first season in 2016. Add in the facts that only 24 offensive players on the NU roster have played in a game and no eligible Husker quarterback has ever taken a snap at the FBS level, and 2018 may prove to be a year of growth. Still, there are plenty of positives that suggest Nebraska’s adaptation to Frost’s offense may happen quicker than many think. That optimism largely starts up front, where the Huskers return five players who started multiple games on the offensive line last season (Cole Conrad, Tanner Farmer, Matt Farniok, Jerald Foster and Brenden Jaimes). At the skill positions, Nebraska returns its top five rushers from 2017 and adds twotime first-team junior college All-American Greg Bell to the fold. At wideout, Nebraska features Stanley Morgan Jr. and JD Spielman, who form one of the most formidable receiving combinations in the country. And despite no returning experience at quarterback, Nebraska features a pair of highly regarded freshmen in California natives Tristan Gebbia and Adrian Martinez.

NEBRASKA OFFENSIVE NOTEBOOK

• Nebraska’s returning offensive linemen have combined for 60 career starts, the Huskers’ highest total to begin a season since 2013. That year, Nebraska featured four linemen currently playing in the NFL (Spencer Long, Brent Qvale, Jeremiah Sirles and Zach Sterup). • The Huskers’ three senior returning starters on the offensive line Jerald Foster, Cole Conrad and Tanner Farmer - have combined for 47 starts at Nebraska. • NU’s two other returning starters on the line - sophomores Matt Farniok and Brenden Jaimes - combined for 13 starts as freshmen in 2017. • Foster has started 16 consecutive games at left guard, and he was an honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection last season. • Jaimes, who is expected to move to left tackle this season, started the final nine games at right tackle in 2017. The nine starts were the most by a Nebraska true freshman offensive lineman. Jaimes became the fifth true freshman offensive lineman to start at Nebraska and the four before him combined for only 11 starts, just two more than Jaimes. • In the backfield, NU is hopeful that junior Tre Bryant can make a healthy return. A knee injury limited Bryant to the season’s first two games in 2017. In those two games, Bryant rushed for 299 yards and his 149.5 rushing yards per game ranked ninth nationally after two games.

• In addition to Bryant, the Husker backfield will feature seniors Devine Ozigbo and Mikale Wilbon. Both players have increased their rushing total each of their first three seasons, culminating with Ozigbo rushing for a career-high 493 yards and Wilbon a career-high 379 yards in 2017. • Jack Stoll is Nebraska’s only returning tight end with game experience. Stoll caught eight passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns last season. • Stanley Morgan Jr. returns after setting a Nebraska season record with 986 receiving yards in 2017. Morgan led the Big Ten with 89.6 receiving yards per game and is the first player to return after leading the Big Ten in receiving yards per game since Penn State’s Allen Robinson in 2013. • JD Spielman led all freshmen with 830 receiving yards en route to freshman All-America honors last season. He set Nebraska freshman records for receptions (55), receiving yards and all-purpose yards (1,572) and had a school-record 200 receiving yards vs. Ohio State. • Morgan and Spielman combined for 165.1 receiving yards per game in 2017. That ranks as the nation’s second-highest returning total.

INTRODUCTION

RETURNING HONOREES

FREEDOM AKINMOLADUN, SR., DL • 2015 BTN All-Freshman Team

DEFENSE

CARLOS DAVIS, JR., DL • 2016 Honorable-Mention BTN All-Freshman Team

Chinander inherited a UCF unit that ranked 113th nationally in total defense and 117th in scoring defense. But in his first year, Chinander’s defense allowed 13 fewer points and 94 fewer yards per game as the Knights climbed 74 spots to 39th in total defense and 75 spots to 42nd in scoring defense. Aiding Chinander’s efforts for a similar first-year turnaround at Nebraska is the fact his entire UCF defensive staff joined him in Lincoln.

RETURNING SCHOOL RECORD HOLDERS

Nebraska’s defense looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2017 season. The Blackshirts will be led this fall by first-year defensive coordinator Erik Chinander, who thrived in a similar situation in 2016 as a first-year coordinator on Scott Frost’s Central Florida staff.

Nebraska is expected to field a defense this fall that includes a mix of proven veterans and promising newcomers. The Blackshirts return 15 players with starting experience, including six Huskers who have spent at least one season in a full-time starting role. Nebraska also added several transfers - both from the FBS and junior college levels who are expected to compete for immediate playing time.

CALEB LIGHTBOURN, JR., P • Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week (vs. Oregon in 2016) BEN STILLE, SO., DL • 2017 BTN All-Freshman Team • Big Ten Freshman of the Week (vs. Illinois in 2017)

BEN STILLE, SO., DL • First Freshman to Lead Nebraska in Sacks (3.5 in 2017) (stat began being tracked in 1968) • First Freshman to Lead Nebraska in TFLs (10 in 2017) (stat became official in 1981) DEDRICK YOUNG, SR., ILB • Tackles by a True Freshman (61 in 2015)

The defensive line is an experienced unit which is expected to be the strength of the defense. The group includes three-year starter Freedom Akinmoladun and two-year starters Mick Stoltenberg and Carlos Davis. At linebacker, NU returns Dedrick Young II, who has started more games than any other Husker. Junior college All-American Will Honas and Ole Miss transfer Breon Dixon have the potential to make an impact as newcomers. The secondary lost two key starters to graduation but returns a starter at cornerback and safety in Lamar Jackson and Aaron Williams, respectively. Nebraska also returns two players who have started games at cornerback (Eric Lee Jr. and Dicaprio Bootle) and two more who have started at safety (Antonio Reed and Marquel Dismuke). The Huskers also bolstered the secondary with the addition of two junior college transfers, and Nebraska hopes for the healthy return of JoJo Domann, who played in all 13 games as a true freshman in 2016 before missing last year due to injury.

• At inside linebacker, Dedrick Young II owns a team-high 201 career tackles and is the fourth Husker to record 200 tackles before his senior season. Young’s 201 tackles are the most by a Husker entering his senior season since his position coach Barrett Ruud had 289 tackles entering his senior season in 2004. • Young is looking to make history this fall as the first Husker to record at least 60 tackles all four years of his career. • Nebraska has three outside linebackers with starting experience in Alex Davis, Luke Gifford and Sedrick King, each of whom made their first career starts in 2017 and set career highs in tackles and TFLs. • In the secondary, sophomore Lamar Jackson has started 13 straight games at cornerback. Those 13 consecutive starts are more starts than all other Husker cornerbacks have made in their combined careers (6). • At safety, Aaron Williams has made 134 career tackles and is NU’s active leader with 10 career breakups and five interceptions. His five career interceptions are three more than the rest of the roster combined. • Junior Caleb Lightbourn returns for his third season as Nebraska’s starting punter. He averaged 42.1 yards per punt last season and pinned the opponent inside the 20-yard line on 36 percent of his punts.

Following the 1949 season, the N Club voted to retire jersey No. 60 in honor of Tom “Train Wreck” Novak’s stellar career with the Cornhuskers. Novak, the first Nebraska player to earn this honor, had been a four-time All-Big Seven choice and a 1949 All-American. Today, all major national award winners and College Football Hall of Fame inductees at Nebraska automatically have their jerseys retired, but their numbers will still be available to active Huskers.

NEBRASKA FOOTBALL HISTORY OF THE BLACKSHIRTS

One of Nebraska’s most well-known traditions is the Blackshirts, the common nickname for the Husker defense. The term originally dates back to the early 1960s and refers to the black jerseys that Nebraska’s first-string defenders wear in practice. With the return of the two-platoon system in college football in 1964, Head Coach Bob Devaney looked for a way to distinguish the defensive units on the practice field. Devaney sent an assistant coach to a local sporting goods store to find “contrast jerseys”, a sleeveless pullover that went on top of the players’ practice jerseys. While the top offensive unit practiced in red jerseys and the second-string offense worked in green pullovers, the first-string defense wore black and the second string wore contrasting gold jerseys. The term quickly caught on then gained momentum during Monte Kiffin’s tenure as defensive coordinator in the mid-1970s. The Blackshirts earned national recognition under Charlie McBride, who served as the Huskers’ defensive coordinator from 1982 to 1999. The Blackshirts celebrated their 50th season in 2013. As a former Husker with former Blackshirts on his coaching staff, Head Coach Scott Frost is very familiar with the long-standing tradition.

DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE

• Nebraska has ranked in the top 10 nationally in total defense 22 times since 1964. • Nebraska has ranked among the top 10 in all four major defensive categories (rush defense, pass defense, total defense and scoring defense) on five occasions, including national title seasons in 1994, 1995 and 1997, and most recently in 2009. • Nebraska has ranked in the top 10 in scoring defense 23 times since 1964, including leading the nation in scoring defense in 1984 and 2009. • Opponents have traditionally found moving the ball through the air difficult against the Blackshirts, as the Huskers have ranked in the top 10 in passing defense 18 times in the past five decades.

N CLUB MISSION STATEMENT

Provide opportunities to letterwinners from all sports for connection, engagement and involvement through events, special reunions and communication while supporting the athletic, academic and career success of Husker student-athletes.

N CLUB ADVISORY COUNCIL

Letterwinner alumni meet monthly to provide feedback and assistance with upcoming events insuring a commitment to the N Club mission.

N CLUB PROGRAMMING/EVENTS

Memorial Stadium N Club Gameday Lounge – Located in the southeast corner of Memorial Stadium, letterwinner alums and guests with a gameday ticket can enjoy connecting with fellow Huskers, athletic staff and Student-Athlete Advisory Committee members. Open 90 minutes prior to kickoff through halftime, the lounge features snacks, Pepsi products and flat screens to enjoy other games. Social Events – The N Club will host several social functions allowing letterwinner alums from all sports the opportunity to come back to campus, see facilities, meet athletic staff and reconnect. Letterwinner Induction Ceremony – Held once each semester, first-time letterwinners are presented with their Husker letter jacket by their Head Coach and a letterwinner alumni. The banquet features comments from past Husker greats along with a special video tribute.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ENGAGEMENT

Striving to connect the past with the present, letterwinner alumni are invited back to campus to participate in the annual Student-Athlete Career Fair, Networking Night and Inner Circle Leadership group. Additionally, letterwinner alumni serve as email mentors providing life and career insights. Letterwinner alumni will also have an opportunity to volunteer with current student-athlete leaders for various service projects including an annual service abroad trip in May.

INNER CIRCLE

Emerging leaders further develop leadership qualities while being inspired from letterwinner alums and collaborating with other student organizations. Inner Circle also assists with numerous service projects throughout the year.

CHAMPIONSHIP REUNIONS

Championship teams and those finishing at an elite national level are invited back to campus every 10 years from the date of the accomplishment. Last season, the 1997 national championship football team was reunited to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE

Nebraska Athletics is one of the few selfsustaining athletic programs in the country. In 2017-18, nine of Nebraska's 10 ticketed sports where attendance is tracked ranked in the top 25 nationally in average attendance and every sport ranked in the top 35. This incredible interest and support enables Nebraska Athletics to invest in the student-athlete experience, as well as the overall game-day experience. Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary for student-athletes to become successful in Academics, Athletics and Life. Nebraska will continue to strategically plan for avenues to strengthen the resources to support more than 600 Husker student-athletes across 24 sports.

UNMATCHED SUPPORT

In August of 2014, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors restructured the way member institutions and conferences, including the Big Ten, govern themselves. Nebraska has a great history and tradition of providing unmatched benefits and support to student-athletes. However, this change in governance, and subsequent legislation, paved the way for Nebraska to enhance the benefits and experiences for student-athletes. A few examples of these enhanced benefits are: • All scholarship student-athletes have their scholarship calculated based on the full cost of attendance. • Each student-athlete is offered a free Apple MacBook Air laptop computer to enhance their learning opportunities. • Nebraska has increased resources and support in all academic and performance related areas including but not limited to Academic Services, Life Skills, Athletic Medicine, Athletic Training, Strength and Conditioning, Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory, Nutrition and Sports Analytics. • As part of Nebraska's innovative PostEligibility Opportunity (PEO) program, where every student-athlete graduate who has exhausted their athletic eligibility has the opportunity to pursue (with Nebraska support) an internship, participate in a study abroad program or attend graduate school within the University of Nebraska system.

ACADEMIC COUNSELING

Seven academic counselors, three learning specialists and two assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/ registration process and monitor eligibility and progress toward graduation.

TUTORIAL SUPPORT

A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support from approximately 75-100 tutors on staff is available from day one up to college graduation in all subject areas. The tutorial program is certified as a model tutoring program by the College Reading and Learning Association.

STUDY HALL

Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s study hall program is housed in the D.J. Sokol Enrichment Center within the Student Life Complex. Studentathletes attend a supervised, flex-time study hall that features day, evening and weekend hours. Student-athletes are required to complete a specific number of study hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Additional performance-based or tutorbased study hall also may be determined by the academic counselor. MENTORING Academic support staff serve as mentors to all incoming student-athletes and select returning student-athletes. The studentathletes meet with their mentor weekly to develop time management skills, gather and report academic progress information and discuss academic success strategies.

EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

Assessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach. Learning specialists are available to administer and score informal assessments, which include a reading comprehension and a writing assessment. When more in-depth assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined a student-athlete has a learning disability or another medical condition that impedes the student from reaching their academic potential, appropriate accommodations are implemented by the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ORIENTATION

Each new student-athlete attends an orientation at the beginning of their academic career. Student-athletes are introduced to staff, faculty, administrators, and a variety of resources that help facilitate the transition into college while enhancing awareness of support services in the Athletic Department and across campus.

PERSONAL COUNSELING

Student-athletes will find a supportive and caring environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress management, time management, academic focus and problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner throughout the year. If necessary, counseling referrals are also made to designated practitioners.

COMPUTER RESOURCES

The Herman Student Life Complex has two computer labs available for studentathletes. The Scott Technology Center features two tech tables for use on group computer projects and group study sessions. New laptops are provided to all student-athletes for use during their academic career at Nebraska.

LEADERSHIP

Nebraska Life Skills provides studentathletes with countless opportunities to enhance leadership skills while distinguishing themselves from the competition. Student-athletes can be members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Nebraska Football Road Race, Inner Circle or INVOLVED. UNL offers more than 600 recognized student organizations allowing athletes to collaborate with other campus leaders for common goals. Nebraska Life Skills funds and coordinates an annual one-week service abroad trip that allows 20 student-athletes to work together toward a common goal while enriching cultural competencies.

RECOGNITION

In 2017-18, 49 Husker Football studentathletes were named to both the Tom Osborne and Brook Berringer Citizenship teams for completing a minimum of six service projects in the calendar year.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA

The University of Nebraska was chartered by the Nebraska Legislature in 1869 as the state’s public university and landgrant institution. Founded in Lincoln, the University of Nebraska was expanded in 1968 into a state educational system now comprising four campuses under the guidance of a Board of Regents and a central administration. Nebraska, which joined the Big Ten Conference in 2011, is a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, a consortium of Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago, which has generated unique opportunities for students and faculty by sharing expertise, leveraging resources and collaborating on programs.

BIG TEN ACADEMIC ALLIANCE

As a member of the Big Ten, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is a member of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA), formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, which is the academic consortium of the universities in the Big Ten Conference. The consortium was renamed on June 29, 2016. The BTAA includes all 14 Big Ten Institutions and the University of Chicago. The Big Ten Academic Alliances and the institutions together have annual research expenditures topping $10.2 billion — more than the Ivy League and the University of California System combined — and they educate a total of nearly 600,000 students with approximately 50,000 full-time faculty members.

After nine years as an assistant, Frost accepted his first head coaching job and promptly guided Central Florida to the nation’s most improved record in his first year in 2016. The next season, he was the unanimous choice as the American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year and was named National Coach of the Year after leading the Knights to the first undefeated season (regular and overall) in UCF or AAC history. In two seasons, Frost helped UCF become the first team in FBS history to go from a winless season to an undefeated campaign in only a two-year span. Frost has been a winner throughout his coaching career, winning seven conference championship teams in his 11 seasons as a full-time coach. In addition to coaching in two national championship games, Frost’s teams have won 122 games in his 11 seasons, averaging more than 11 wins per season. Frost’s winning reputation dates back to his playing days, when he helped Nebraska to a 36-2 record in his three-year career, including a 24-2 record in two seasons as the Huskers’ starting quarterback. He won two national titles at Nebraska, while all other 128 FBS coaches combined to win a total of three national championships as players. After helping his teams to a 103-18 record in his nine years as an assistant, Frost went 19-7 in two seasons at UCF, helping turn an 0-12 team into a 13-0 squad in just two years’ time. In Frost’s first season, he took the Knights to a bowl game and finished with a 6-7 record. The turnaround was historic, as Frost became the only first-year coach in FBS history to make a bowl game with a team that was winless the previous season. UCF led the nation with a six-win improvement in 2016 and exceeded that mark in 2017 with a win over No. 7 Auburn in the Peach Bowl to complete a 13-0 season as the nation's only undefeated team. The Knights put together the first undefeated regular season in UCF and AAC history in 2017, posted the longest winning streak in school history (13 games), achieved the highest in-season ranking in program history (10th), highest final ranking (6th) and set an AAC record with 16 all-conference selections. UCF was led by its high-powered offense and improved defense under Frost. The Knights led the nation in scoring at 48.2 points per game and were the only FBS team to score at least 30 points in every game. Defensively, UCF improved its scoring defense by 65 spots in Frost’s two seasons. In addition to being the unanimous choice as the 2017 AAC Coach of the Year, Frost was honored as the national coach of the year by the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association, the Touchdown NEBRASKA (2018) • Head Coach

He was also a semifinalist for the George Munger Coach of the Year Award in each of his two seasons at UCF, making Frost one of three coaches to be a semifinalist for the award in both 2016 and 2017. Before taking his first head coaching job at UCF, Frost was a highly accomplished assistant who coordinated both a top-10 offense and defense. He came to UCF after spending seven seasons as an offensive assistant at Oregon from 2009 to 2015, including three years as the Ducks’ offensive coordinator (2012-15). Frost helped Oregon post a 79-14 record in his seven seasons, during which time the Ducks won four conference titles and twice played for the national championship. Oregon never ranked lower than eighth nationally in scoring offense during Frost’s seven seasons on staff, and the Ducks led the nation in scoring in 2010. Frost was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2013, and Oregon ranked in the top five nationally in both scoring and total offense each of his three seasons calling plays. The Ducks scored 681 points in 2014, the second-highest total in NCAA history. Oregon made it to the College Football Playoff Championship Game that year, when Frost was one of five finalists for the Broyles Award, presented annually to the nation’s top assistant. Frost’s first full-time coaching job came in the FCS ranks at Northern Iowa, where he spent two seasons on the Panthers’ defensive staff. He coached the UNI linebackers in 2007 and helped the Panthers to the No. 1 seed in the FCS playoffs and a quarterfinals appearance. Frost was promoted to co-defensive coordinator the next season, when UNI ranked ninth nationally in scoring defense and advanced to the FCS Semifinals. The Panthers finished with a 24-4 record in Frost’s two seasons, winning two Missouri Valley Conference titles and earning a No. 4 ranking both years. The 43-year old Frost began his coaching career as a defensive graduate assistant at Kansas State. He also served briefly on NU’s staff as a defensive graduate assistant in 2002, coaching the Huskers in the Independence Bowl. Frost was also an outstanding player. He spent two seasons at Stanford before returning home to Nebraska for the Huskers’ 1995 national championship season. He took over as NU’s starting quarterback the next season and was the 1996 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year. In 1997, he was a Johnny Unitas Award finalist and an Academic All-American as Nebraska went 13-0 and captured the program’s fifth national title. Frost was then selected in the third round of the 1998 National Football League Draft and played six seasons as an NFL safety.

HISTORIC TURNAROUND AT UCF

At Central Florida, Frost produced the greatest two-year turnaround in college football history, inheriting an 0-12 team and leading the Knights to a 13-0 record just two years later. • In his first season in 2016, Frost made history as the only first-time head coach in FBS history to make a bowl game with a team that was winless the previous season. • UCF tied for the national lead with a six-win improvement from the 2015 to 2016 season. The Knights then ranked third nationally after improving by seven wins from the 2016 to 2017 season. • The Knights' seven-win improvement from 2016 to 2017 ranked 11th in NCAA history and marked just the second time ever a bowl team improved by more than six wins the next season. • UCF was the American Athletic Conference and Peach Bowl champions and was the only FBS team to go undefeated in 2017. • Frost called UCF's plays, orchestrating the greatest two-year offensive turnaround in NCAA history.

Chinander inherited a Knight defense that had allowed 37.7 points per game in 2015 and two years later, UCF lowered that average to 25.3 points per game, allowing nearly two fewer touchdowns per game. Chinander also helped UCF improve its national ranking in scoring defense by 65 spots in his two seasons. A trademark of Chinander’s UCF defense was creating takeaways. The Knights forced 58 turnovers in 26 games in Chinander’s two seasons, ranking second nationally in takeaways in 2017 and 18th in 2016. The 58 takeaways over the 2016 and 2017 seasons combined ranked third nationally, and UCF was one of only six teams to force 25 turnovers both seasons and one of just eight teams to rank in the top 20 nationally in takeaways in both 2016 and 2017. In helping the Knights to a perfect 13-0 season and a conference title in 2017, Chinander’s defense played a major role in UCF’s 11-0 regular season, the first perfect regular season in school and American Athletic Conference history. UCF led the AAC in defensive touchdowns and ranked third in the AAC in scoring defense and pass efficiency defense. Individually, six Knights earned all-conference accolades, including a league-high four first-team honorees. Linebacker Shaquem Griffin, who was on the preseason watch list for several national defensive honors including the Butkus Award, was the only player in the conference to be a unanimous All-AAC selection. Cornerback Mike Hughes, a first-year transfer from Garden City Community College, earned second-team All-America honors in 2017, becoming the Knights’ first All-American in four seasons. Hughes (first round), the highest defensive draft pick in school history, and Griffin (fifth round) were also selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. Their selections marked just the second time in school history that UCF had multiple defensive players drafted. In his first season at UCF, the defense was the key to Central Florida leading the nation with a six-win improvement from the 2015 to 2016 season. The Knights ranked in the top 10 nationally in four defensive categories and in the top 25 in nine categories. UCF was second nationally in red zone defense, third in defensive touchdowns, sixth in third-down defense, ninth in tackles for loss, 12th in pass efficiency defense, 17th in sacks, 18th in turnovers forced, 22nd in interceptions and 24th in fumbles recovered. Griffin was the 2016 American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year after ranking ninth nationally in tackles for loss (20.0) and 11th in sacks (11.5). He was also a first-team all-conference selection as a total of four Knights earned All-American Athletic Conference accolades. UCF marked Chinander’s first defensive coordinator job. Previously, he coached the outside linebackers at Oregon in 2014 and 2015, when Frost was the Ducks’ offensive coordinator.

Chinander also served as a defensive graduate assistant at Oregon in 2011 and 2012, when the Ducks ranked in the top 25 nationally in scoring defense, and as an intern in 2010. In Chinander’s five total seasons on the Duck staff, Oregon posted a 58-10 record, won three conference titles and twice played for the national championship. In between his two stints at Oregon, Chinander gained NFL experience by serving as the assistant defensive line coach on Chip Kelly’s Philadelphia Eagles staff in 2013. With the Eagles, Chinander worked as an assistant to defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro and helped with game and practice plans, coordinating the scout teams and evaluating current and future personnel. The Eagles won the NFC East that season with a 10-6 record. Previously, Chinander served as an offensive assistant, coaching the tight ends at Northern Iowa for six seasons from 2004 to 2009, including two seasons when Frost was on the Panther staff (2007 and 2008). In addition to coaching the tight ends, Chinander assisted with the defensive and specialist scout teams. He also made a huge impact in the Panthers’ recruiting, helping UNI win three conference titles and make three appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs, including a runner-up finish in 2005 and a semifinal appearance in 2008. In his first coaching stop in 2003, Chinander was the offensive and defensive line coach for Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa, where he also coordinated the strength and conditioning programs for football and men’s and women’s basketball. The Panthers finished second in the region and three of his players garnered first-team, all-region accolades. As a player, Chinander was a walk-on offensive lineman for the Iowa Hawkeyes from 1998 to 2002. As a senior, Iowa shared the Big Ten title and earned a spot in the Orange Bowl.

Austin has spent a total of • Graduate Assistant (2011-12) five seasons coaching with Frost. • Intern (2010) In 2017, Austin’s line paved the way for the culmination of the Knights’ remarkable two-year offensive turnaround. The Knights were the only FBS team to score 30 points in every game, and they led the nation in scoring. UCF averaged 48.2 points per game in 2017, just two seasons after UCF scored the third-fewest points in the country in 2015, averaging just 13.9 points per game. UCF won the American Athletic Conference title in 2017, putting together the first perfect regular season in school and AAC history en route to a 13-0 record and No. 6 final ranking. The Knights not only led the country in scoring but ranked fifth in total offense, second in passing efficiency and 10th in passing. Austin’s offensive line allowed only 13 sacks to rank fifth nationally, and his unit helped the Knights average 5.2 yards per carry and score 39 rushing touchdowns, which ranked ninth nationally. In a testament to his line's versatility, UCF ranked in the top 25 nationally in both yards per pass and yards per rush in 2017. Both offensive tackles and UCF’s center were recognized as all-conference performers, while quarterback McKenzie Milton was the AAC Offensive Player of the Year. Austin’s first year at UCF in 2016 marked his first full-time coaching job at the collegiate level. He helped the Knights become the nation’s most improved team in 2016, as UCF won six games following a winless season in 2015. Austin’s line helped the offense make tremendous strides in Frost’s first season, as the Knights moved up 59 spots in the scoring offense national ranking. Previously, Austin spent three seasons as the assistant offensive line coach from 2013 to 2015 on Chip Kelly’s Philadelphia Eagles staff. The Eagles ranked in the top five in the NFL in total offense in both 2013 and 2014. Philadelphia won the NFC East in 2013, when LeSean McCoy led the NFL in rushing. Offensive tackle Jason Peters earned a Pro Bowl selection in each of Austin’s three seasons in Philadelphia, while guard Evan Mathis was a Pro Bowler in 2013 and 2014 and center Jason Kelce was a 2014 Pro Bowl selection. Before coaching in the NFL, Austin coached with Frost for three seasons at Oregon, serving as an intern in 2010 and as the Ducks’ offensive graduate assistant in 2011 and 2012. Oregon posted a 36-4 record and finished in the top five in each of Austin’s three seasons on staff, winning two conference titles and playing for the 2010 national championship game, when the Ducks led the country in scoring and total offense. Overall, Oregon ranked in the top 10 nationally in both scoring and total offense in each of Austin’s three seasons in Eugene. As a player at Nebraska, Austin battled injuries throughout his career. He made 18 career starts at offensive guard and was an honorable-mention All-Big 12 pick as a senior in 2006, when the Huskers played in the Big 12 Championship Game and the Cotton Bowl. Austin was also a two-time academic All-Big 12 selection in the classroom. Originally from Cypress, Texas, Austin earned his bachelor’s degree in management from Nebraska in 2006. He went on to earn two master’s degrees in business management and sports management from UCF, and before entering the coaching ranks, Austin spent time as an event manager at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort.

In his final season at UCF in 2017, Beckton helped the Knights post the first perfect season in program history and the first undefeated season in AAC history. UCF was the only FBS team to go undefeated in 2017, and the Knights finished with a No. 6 ranking after defeating No. 7 Auburn in the Peach Bowl. Beckton contributed in a variety of ways to Frost’s success in his two seasons at UCF. Beckton’s tight ends helped UCF post the nation’s most improved offense in 2017, when the Knights led the nation in scoring and ranked fifth nationally in total offense. As UCF’s recruiting coordinator, he helped Frost land several of the Knights’ standout players. Sophomore quarterback McKenzie Milton was the 2017 American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year and each of the Knights’ three leading rushers and four of the top six receivers were either freshmen or sophomores. As the Knights’ tight ends coach, Beckton’s group recorded 87 catches for 1,345 yards and seven touchdowns the past two seasons. In 2017, the unit totaled 49 receptions for 818 yards and caught five touchdown passes while averaging 16.7 yards per reception. In 2016, UCF’s tight ends combined for 38 catches, 527 receiving yards and a pair of touchdown catches. Individually, Jordan Akins posted his best two seasons under Beckton’s coaching. Akins set career highs with 32 receptions for 515 yards and four touchdowns as a senior in 2017, when he was a first-team all-conference selection and was named to the John Mackey Award preseason watch list. In 2016, Akins caught 23 passes for 347 yards. Following his senior season, Akins was selected in the third-round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Before Frost’s arrival, Beckton coached the UCF wide receivers from 2012 to 2015, his second stint in that role. Working with a young unit in 2015, Tre’Quan Smith finished with 52 catches for 724 yards, both of which set UCF freshman records. The 2015 American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year, Smith went on to be a first-team All-AAC selection and Biletnikoff Award nominee in 2017. In 2014, four Knights totaled 500 receiving yards for the first time in program history, led by Breshad Perriman’s 1,044 yards. Perriman went on to be a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. In 2013, three wideouts had at least 500 receiving yards to help UCF to a 12-1 record, an AAC title and a Fiesta Bowl win over Baylor. In Beckton’s first year coaching the wide receivers in 2012, the Knights totaled more than 3,100 receiving yards and 28 receiving touchdowns. Beckton coached the wide receivers after leading the UCF defensive backs from 2009 to 2011. The Knights ranked in the top 25 nationally in passing defense in 2011 when cornerback Josh Robinson was a first-team all-conference selection before being selected in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

In 2009, he guided Robinson to freshman AllAmerica honors and helped converted quarterback Michael Greco earn an NFL free agent contract after just one year as a safety. Beckton’s first full-time coaching stint at UCF came as the wide receivers coach from 1996 to 2003. During that time he coached a slew of top wideouts, including three who went on to NFL careers. His most highprofile pupil was Brandon Marshall, who caught 74 passes for 1,195 yards in 2005 before being selected in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Marshall has played 12 seasons in the NFL and is a six-time Pro Bowler who has amassed more 950 catches and 12,000 receiving yards. Beckton also received his start in the coaching profession as an offensive graduate assistant at UCF in 1992 and 1993. In addition to his 19 total seasons at UCF, Beckton coached the wide receivers for the Orlando Predators of the American Football League in 2008 and spent three years as an assistant coach at Mainland (Fla.) High School from 1993 to 1996, where he also taught history.

At UCF, he helped Frost CENTRAL FLORIDA (2013) and defensive coordinator Erik • Defensive Quality Assistant Chinander turn the UCF defense into one of the top units in the American Athletic Conference. Fisher’s defensive backs were a big reason why the Knights were able to record 58 takeaways and score nine defensive touchdowns the past two seasons. UCF ranked third nationally in takeaways over the 2016 and 2017 seasons combined, and the Knights ranked fifth with 35 interceptions, including 26 from Fisher’s defensive backs. In 2017, UCF led the AAC and was second nationally in interceptions. In 2017, Fisher’s unit helped UCF go 13-0 as the nation's only undefeated team while posting the first perfect season in school and American Athletic Conference history. The Knights led the league in interceptions and defensive touchdowns and ranked third in scoring defense and pass efficiency defense. UCF’s 20 interceptions not only led the conference but ranked fifth nationally, with 15 of the interceptions by Fisher’s defensive backs, two of which were returned for touchdowns. One of those interceptions was a game-ending pick by Tre Neal in the second overtime of the American Athletic Conference Championship win over No. 16 Memphis. Another was an interception by Antwan Collier with 24 seconds remaining that sealed the Knights' Peach Bowl win over No. 7 Auburn. Cornerback Mike Hughes and safety Kyle Gibson were both first-team all-conference selections and both players ranked in the top 25 nationally in interceptions. Hughes, a first-year junior college transfer, went on to earn second-team All-America honors before being a first-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, eclipsing Fisher as the highest-drafted defensive back in Central Florida history. The production of Fisher’s defensive backs in 2017 came after five defensive backs from the 2016 roster signed NFL contracts following the season, including third-round draft pick Shaquill Griffin. Led by Griffin, Fisher’s defensive backs played a big role in UCF’s 2016 season, when the Knights were the nation’s most-improved team. UCF posted the top pass efficiency defense in the American Athletic Conference and the 12th-best mark nationally, while the defensive backs totaled 12 of the Knights’ 15 interceptions – a total that ranked 22nd nationally. The group also returned four interceptions for touchdowns, helping UCF rank third nationally with five defensive touchdowns. Individually, Griffin led the AAC and was fifth nationally with 1.5 passes defended per game, and his 15 pass breakups in 2017 and 36 career breakups were both the second-most in UCF history. Drico Johnson also set a school record by becoming the first UCF player to score two defensive touchdowns in one game, accomplishing the feat against Tulane. A former Knight cornerback, Fisher also spent the 2015 season at UCF, where he coached the cornerbacks in his first season as an FBS assistant.

SEASON NOTEBOOK

2018 NEBRASKA SEASON NOTEBOOK FROST SET FOR FIRST SEASON

Scott Frost will lead his first Nebraska team as head coach this fall. Frost is in his third season overall as a head coach after guiding Central Florida to a 19-7 record the past two seasons. • Frost was the consensus 2017 national coach of the year after leading UCF to a 13-0 season. The Knights were the only FBS team to go undefeated in 2017. • In Orlando, Frost led the greatest two-year turnaround in college football history. He inherited an 0-12 team and led the Knights to a bowl game in his first season on the UCF sideline in 2016. That set the stage for Frost to become the first coach in FBS history to turn a winless team into an undefeated team in just two years. • Frost brought all nine of his UCF assistant coaches with him to Lincoln. Barrett Ruud also followed Frost to Lincoln after serving as a quality control administrator with the Knights. Ruud was promoted to inside linebackers coach in January, when the NCAA permitted schools to add a 10th assistant coach. • Before becoming UCF’s head coach in 2016, Frost spent seven seasons at Oregon (2009-15) and two years at Northern Iowa (200708). Included in those stops were stints as the Ducks’ offensive coordinator from 2013 to 2015 and as the Panthers’ defensive coordinator in 2008. • Frost has been a proven winner in his coaching career. In 11 seasons as a full-time assistant or head coach, Frost’s teams have posted a 122-25 record, averaging more than 11 wins per season. Frost has been a part of seven conference championship teams in his 11 seasons and has twice coached in the national championship game. • Frost’s teams have been ranked in the top 15 in 10 of his 11 seasons, including eight top-10 final rankings and six top-five final rankings. • A Nebraska native, Frost is the fifth Husker player to return to Nebraska as head coach. His staff also features former Husker players Greg Austin (2003-06), Ryan Held (1993-96) and Barrett Ruud (2001-04). • Frost will begin his Husker coaching career against the Akron Zips, the same team he faced in the season opener of his senior season at Nebraska. Against Akron on Aug. 30, 1997, Frost led Nebraska to a 59-14 victory by rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries and completing 7-of-13 passes for 67 yards. Nebraska went on to go 13-0 en route to sharing the national championship.

STAFF FEATURES FAMILIAR & FRESH FACES

All 11 members of Nebraska’s 2018 coaching staff are in their first season with the Huskers. None of the 11 had ever been a full-time coach at Nebraska before, but the staff still has plenty of Husker ties. Head Coach Scott Frost played for Nebraska from 1995 to 1997 and served as a graduate assistant coach during the Huskers’ preparations for the 2002 Independence Bowl. Running backs coach Ryan Held also played for Nebraska (1993-96) and was an undergraduate coach on Nebraska’s 1997 national championship team. Barrett Ruud (2001-04) and Greg Austin (2003-06) are also former Huskers, although neither had ever coached at Nebraska prior to this season.

Scott Frost is the fifth former Husker to return to Nebraska as head coach. Frost's staff features three other former Huskers in Greg Austin (offensive line), Ryan Held (running backs) and Barrett Ruud (inside linebackers). The fresh faces on staff are seven assistants who are Nebraska newcomers: defensive coordinator Erik Chinander, offensive coordinator Troy Walters, special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach Jovan Dewitt, tight ends coach Sean Beckton, defensive line coach Mike Dawson, defensive backs coach Travis Fisher and quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco. Although all 11 members of the staff will be coaching in the Big Ten for the first time this fall, the staff boasts plenty of big-time experience. The staff owns a collective 25 years of coaching experience at nine different Power Five programs. Austin, Chinander and Dawson also spent a combined five seasons coaching in the National Football League.

COACHES RANK AMONG NATION'S BEST

Nebraska Head Coach Scott Frost brought a top-notch staff with him from Orlando to Lincoln. In addition to Frost being named the 2017 conference, regional and national coach of the year, both Husker coordinators have been nominees for the Broyles Award - presented to the nation's top assistant coach - in the past two seasons, while Zach Duval was selected as the 2017 National Football Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year. • Frost was the consensus choice for 2017 national coach of the year, after he led UCF to a 13-0 record as the nation's only undefeated team. Frost was named the 2017 national coach of the year by the following eight organizations: - AFCA Coach of the Year - Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year - Associated Press Coach of the Year - ESPN Home Depot Coach of the Year - Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year - Lombardi Award Coach of the Year - Touchdown Club of Columbus Coach of the Year - Fellowship of Christian Athletes Coach of the Year • Frost was also a semifinalist for the George Munger Award in 2016 and a finalist in 2017. He joined Alabama's Nick Saban and Wisconsin's Paul Chryst as the only two coaches nationally to be a semifinalist for the Munger Award in both 2016 and 2017. • Duval was named the 2017 Football Scoop National Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year. • Defensive coordinator Erik Chinander was one of 40 nominees for the 2016 Broyles Award, when he helped UCF rank in the top 10 nationally in four defensive categories and in the top 25 in nine categories. • Offensive coordinator Troy Walters was one of five finalists for the 2017 Broyles Award after helping UCF lead the nation in scoring and rank fifth in total offense.

MORGAN SETS SIGHTS ON BECOMING NEBRASKA’S ALL-TIME LEADING RECEIVER

After setting a school record with 986 receiving yards in 2017, Stanley Morgan Jr. will look to become Nebraska’s all-time leading receiver this fall. Morgan enters his senior season with 119 career receptions, which rank seventh on Nebraska’s all-time list. He needs 62 receptions to tie Kenny Bell (181) atop the Husker chart. Morgan has also totaled 1,743 receiving yards in his first three seasons, ranking sixth on Nebraska’s alltime list. He needs 946 yards in 2018 to tie Bell (2,689) for the most receiving yards in program history. The New Orleans native put himself in position to challenge Nebraska’s all-time records thanks to a breakout junior season, when he earned All-Big Ten accolades. Morgan caught 61 passes for 986 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2017 after entering the year with 58 career receptions, 757 career receiving yards and five career touchdown catches. • Morgan set Nebraska records with 986 receiving yards and five 100yard receiving games in 2017, while ranking third in school history in touchdown receptions (10) and fifth in catches (61). • He led the Big Ten and ranked 14th nationally in receiving yards per game (89.6) in 2017.

SPIELMAN LOOKS TO BUILD ON FRESHMAN ALL-AMERICA SEASON

STILLE BACK AFTER STRONG FRESHMAN YEAR

Wide receiver JD Spielman returns for his sophomore season in 2018 after earning freshman All-America accolades in 2017. Spielman emerged as one of the nation’s most productive freshmen in 2017 after redshirting in 2016, when he was named Nebraska’s Offensive Scout Team MVP. Spielman was named as a freshman All-American by both USA Today and the Football Writers Association of America and was a third-team All-Big Ten pick by the league’s coaches. He also made the Big Ten Network’s All-Freshman team as both a wide receiver and kickoff returner. Spielman hauled in 55 receptions for 830 yards as a redshirt freshman in 2017, both of which were Nebraska freshman records. He also totaled 669 kickoff return yards to finish with 1,572 all-purpose yards, the most by a freshman in school history. • Spielman led all FBS freshmen in receiving yards (830) in 2017 and averaged nearly 10 more receiving yards per game than any other freshman. Spielman also ranked second among all freshmen nationally in kickoff return yards (669) and catches per game (5.0), was third in all-purpose yards (1,572) and fifth with 55 total receptions. • Among all FBS players, Spielman ranked 13th nationally in allpurpose yards and was one of only five players in the country to total 1,500 all-purpose yards in fewer than 90 attempts. He also led all FBS players in fourth-down receptions (7) and receiving yards (89) and ranked fifth in third-down receiving yards (350). • Spielman led the Big Ten in kickoff return yards and kick return average and was third in all-purpose yards and receiving yards per game. He also led the league with 88.1 receiving yards per game in conference play and tied Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor for second with an average of 157.8 all-purpose yards per game in league play. • An explosive playmaker, Spielman posted Nebraska’s longest return in 2017 (a 99-yard kickoff return vs. Arkansas State), the Huskers’ longest rush (40 yards vs. Northwestern) and the team’s secondlongest reception (77 yards vs. No. 9 Ohio State). • Spielman had 11 catches for a school-record 200 yards against No. 9 Ohio State. In addition to posting the only 200-yard receiving game in school history, Spielman’s 11 catches were the most ever by a Husker freshman and ranked third overall in program history. • In addition to setting freshman records for receptions, receiving yards and all-purpose yards, Spielman posted the sixth-most overall receiving yards in school history and the seventh-most receptions.

Ben Stille flourished as a redshirt freshman in 2017 in his first season as an outside linebacker in NU’s 3-4 defensive scheme. Stille did not play in the first three games but was a major contributor over the season’s final nine games, earning one start against Wisconsin. He totaled 24 tackles on the season and led the Huskers with 10 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. • With his 10 TFLs, Stille became the first Husker freshman to lead the team in tackles for loss since the stat began being tracked in 1968. • Stille led all Big Ten freshmen and ranked eighth overall in the league in tackles for loss per game (1.06). All 10 of his TFLs came during Nebraska’s nine-game Big Ten schedule. • With his 3.5 sacks, Stille became the first Husker freshman to lead the team in sacks since the stat began being tracked in 1981. • For his efforts, Stille was named to the Big Ten Network All-Freshman team. He was also named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week after registering four tackles, three TFLs and his first career sack and forced fumble in the Huskers’ win at Illinois.

YOUNG CLIMBING HUSKER TACKLE LIST

Linebacker Dedrick Young II enters his senior season with 201 career tackles, nearly 70 more than any other Husker. Young will look to move into the top five on Nebraska’s all-time tackle list this fall. • Young is the 35th Husker to record 200 career tackles and just the fourth to reach the mark prior to his senior season. • Young needs 55 tackles to move into 10th place on Nebraska’s alltime tackles list and 75 to crack the top five. Young has averaged 67 tackles per season over his first three years. • This fall, Young will look to become the first player in school history to total at least 60 tackles all four seasons. He set a Nebraska true freshman record with 61 tackles in 2015, added 60 stops as a sophomore in 2016 and totaled 80 tackles as a junior in 2017.

CLEAN SLATE AT QUARTERBACK

Nebraska's 2017 roster features five quarterbacks, none of whom have ever taken a single snap for the Huskers. Among the five quarterbacks, only a pair of transfers - junior Andrew Bunch (Scottsdale CC) and sophomore Noah Vedral (UCF) - have taken a snap at the collegiate level. Vedral is the only quarterback on the roster who has appeared in an FBS game, but he must sit out this fall due to NCAA transfer rules. • This year marks the first time since 1972 - Bob Devaney's final year - that the Huskers open a season without a single quarterback who has ever taken a snap at Nebraska. In that 1972 season, Dave Humm emerged as the starter and threw for 2,259 yards, which at the time was both a Nebraska and Big Eight Conference record. Humm was a freshman on the Husker roster in 1971, but freshmen were ineligible per NCAA rules. • None of the top three contenders for the starting quarterback spot - Bunch, redshirt freshman Tristan Gebbia and true freshman Adrian Martinez - have played in a game since the 2016 season. Bunch last played in a game on Nov. 12, 2016, with Scottsdale CC. Gebbia's last game action came on Dec. 9, 2016, with Calabasas High School in the Division 2-AA Regional Final of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Football Championship. Martinez missed all of his senior season in 2017 due to injury and last played in a game on Nov. 25, 2016, for Clovis High School in the semifinals of the Central Section CIF Division I Championships.

NU RETURNS 104 PERCENT OF 2017 RUSHING TOTAL

In a statistical oddity, Nebraska returns 103 percent of its 2017 rushing total. NU rushed for 1,290 yards last season, but the seven returning Huskers who had a carry last fall combined for 1,335 rushing yards. Accounting for the difference is the departure of quarterback Tanner Lee, a 2017 NFL Draft pick who lost 97 yards rushing in 2017 due to sacks.

Senior Stanley Morgan Jr. enters the 2018 season set to make a big impact in Nebraska’s explosive new offensive attack.

A Texas native, Jaimes earned honorable-mention BTN All-Freshman honors in 2017.

2017 (FRESHMAN)

Jaimes was arguably the most productive true freshman offensive lineman in school history during an impressive debut season. After the coaching staff initially considered a redshirt season, Jaimes started the final nine games at right tackle. When he made his career debut by starting the Rutgers game, Jaimes became just the fifth true freshman offensive lineman to start at Nebraska and only the 11th Husker offensive lineman to play as a true freshman. Jaimes’ nine starts were not only a school record for a true freshman offensive lineman, but he nearly matched the combined total of the four previous Husker true freshmen starters on the offensive line (11). Jaimes was one of only three true freshmen offensive linemen in the Big Ten to start every conference game in 2017, and he was an honorablemention All-Freshman team selection by the Big Ten Network. Jaimes and the Husker offensive line helped Nebraska rank second in the Big Ten in passing (277.5 yards per game) in 2017. Nebraska totaled 3,330 passing yards, the fifth-highest passing total in school history (3,330 yards). The line protected Tanner Lee as he threw for 3,143 yards in his only season as a Husker, while Stanley Morgan Jr. set a school record with 986 receiving yards and JD Spielman posted the first 200-yard receiving game in school history against No. 9 Ohio State.

Jaimes was a standout on the offensive line at Lake Travis High School in Austin. Jaimes paved the way for an offense that averaged nearly 500 yards per game in 2016, including better than 290 passing yards per game. Lake Travis posted a 15-1 record en route to a Class 6A Division 1 state title. Coach Hank Carter’s team was also ranked among the nation’s top prep teams in 2016. Jaimes was named the District Offensive Lineman of the Year, was firstteam All-Centex and was a Class 6A honorable-mention all-state choice as a senior. He was a second-team all-state honoree and all-district choice in 2015, when Lake Travis posted a 15-1 record and was the Class 6A state runner-up. Lake Travis was an area finalist in 2014 when Jaimes earned honorable-mention all-district accolades. Jaimes was ranked among the top 300 overall prospects in the nation by Scout.com, which also listed him as one of the nation’s top 30 offensive tackles and the third-best tackle prospect in Texas. He was also listed among the top 50 tackles in the nation by both ESPN and 247Sports. Jaimes only visited Nebraska. He also had offers from Baylor, California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa State, TCU, Texas and Texas Tech among others. Jaimes participated in lacrosse as a freshman and was also a track standout.

HEAD COACH, 1973-97 RECORD: 255-49-3 (.836, 6TH ALL-TIME)

HEAD COACH, 1962-72 RECORD: 101-20-2 (.829, 13TH ALL-TIME)

The field inside Memorial stadium is called Tom Osborne Field in honor of a man, who in 25 seasons, built a total program based on more than winning. Osborne’s coaching career came to a poetic end in the 1998 Orange Bowl. In his final game, the Huskers defeated No. 3 Tennessee, 42-17, giving him a share of a third national title in his final four seasons. The victory left Osborne as the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion, along with the nation’s best active winning percentage (.836, 255-49-3), which ranks sixth all-time among Division I coaches. Osborne guided the Huskers to back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, then capped his career by sharing the 1997 title with Michigan. Nebraska’s back-to-back national titles in 1994-95 made Osborne the first coach to accomplish that feat since Bear Bryant in 197879. Under Osborne, NU became just the second school all time to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons. In fact, Osborne’s last five Nebraska teams put together the best five-year run in collegiate football history with an amazing 60-3 record. Osborne-coached Nebraska teams captured 13 conference crowns and all 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl. Achievements of that magnitude earned Osborne an immediate ticket to the College Football Hall of Fame in December of 1998, after it waived the customary three-year wait for entrance into the hall. The Memorial Stadium field was re-named Tom Osborne field in 1998. A Hastings, Neb., native, Osborne served Nebraska for three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Osborne served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 2007 through 2012.

One man tops the list of people responsible for the success of the University of Nebraska athletic teams – Bob Devaney. For 35 years he was the driving force behind the University of Nebraska championships, first as a Hall of Fame football coach (1962-72), then as Athletic Director (1967-93) and Athletic Director Emeritus (1993-96). Devaney retired in 1996 and lived in Lincoln until he passed away at the age of 82 on May 9, 1997. Devaney’s mark will remain forever. The memories of the storybook national championship seasons of 1970 and 1971 will continue to inspire generations of Husker fans for years to come. His commitment to building one of the nation’s best athletic programs is reinforced with every athletic and academic honor earned by Husker student-athletes. From the time he took over athletic director duties in 1967, to his final year in 1993, his vigor, enthusiasm and administrative excellence earned him a reputation as one of the nation’s outstanding athletic directors. Those characteristics helped make him a football coaching legend. A 1981 inductee into the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame, under Devaney’s leadership Nebraska developed one of the nation’s most successful all-around athletic programs. During his 11-year stint as Husker football coach, Devaney’s teams won 101 games, lost only 20 and tied two for an .829 winning percentage. His career mark of 136-30-7 (.806) ranked him as the nation’s winningest active coach at the time of his retirement in 1973. Today, he ranks 13th on the all-time list, seven spots behind the man he tabbed as his replacement, Tom Osborne. In all, his Husker gridiron teams won eight Big Eight titles and two national championships (1970, 1971) and went to nine bowl games. He had three straight Orange Bowl wins, two Outland Trophy winners, a Lombardi Award winner and a Heisman Trophy winner. Twice his teams won four consecutive Big Eight titles, 1963-66 and 1969-72.

The highest honor the NCAA can bestow on a student-athlete is The NCAA Today's Top 10 Award. The award is based not only on outstanding athletic accomplishments, but on excellent academic records and leadership ability in community and campus activities. Nebraska earned its NCAA-leading 17th Top 10 Award in January of 2014 when women's tennis standout Mary Weatherholt, the 2013 NCAA singles runner-up, was recognized at the NCAA honors dinner. The Husker football program has nine of Nebraska's 17 Top 10 Award winners, the most of any single sport in NCAA history. The most recent football player to earn a Top 10 Award was All-America rush end Grant Wistrom, who was a 1998 honoree. Wistrom's selection gave Nebraska nine overall Top 10 honorees in the 1990s. Two Huskers received the award in both 1990 and 1991, marking the first two times that a school had more than one student-athlete honored. In the 1990s, six Husker football players were awarded the Top 10 honor, including Aaron Graham (1996), Rob Zatechka (1995), Trev Alberts (1994), Pat Tyrance (1991) and Jake Young (1990). Randy Schleusener (1981) was the first Husker to win the award, followed by Dave Rimington (1983) and Mark Traynowicz (1985). Nebraska's success in the classroom also extends to other sports. Along with nine football players who have won the Top 10 Award, four Husker volleyball players (Sarah Pavan-2008, Virginia Stahr-1990, Janet Kruse-1992, Nancy Metcalf-2002), two men's gymnasts (Tom Schlesinger-1989, Patrick Kirksey-1991), one women's gymnast (Richelle Simpson-2005) and one women's tennis player (Weatherholt-2014) have also claimed the honor.

2018 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

NEBRASKA FOOTBALL

HUSKER HISTORY

128 YEARS OF NEBRASKA FOOTBALL Notes on the Associated Press Poll: The rankings indicated in all instances below are at game time, with Nebraska’s to the left of the slash and the opponent’s to the right. If a slash is alone, neither team was ranked at game time. Early-season games from 1936 to 1949 have no slash because the first polls in those seasons were not taken until after the season began. From 1936 to 1960 and 1968 to 1988, AP ranked the top 20 teams, from 1961 to 1967 the top 10, and since 1989, the top 25. The source for the weekly rankings from Oct. 19, 1936, through Jan. 3, 1984, is Football Rankings, College teams in the Associated Press Poll, 1936-1984, compiled by Lowell R. Greunke (Jefferson, N.C.; McFarland & Co., Inc., 1984).

The Associated Press poll began in 1936 and Nebraska came in at No. 15 in the first-ever regularseason poll on Oct. 24. The Huskers finished with a No. 9 national ranking that year. From 1936 through 1949, the AP polls did not come out until October. Beginning in 1950, AP polls were issued weekly throughout the entire regular season. Until 1964, all final rankings were based on regular-season finishes and did not include bowl game results. In 1965, the AP final rankings became post-bowl rankings (with the exception of 1966). In 1974, the UPI final ranking also became post-bowl, and since then all final rankings have included bowl results. The AP has tracked its all-time poll rankings based on finish in each of its final polls. NU checks in at No. 6 in the All-Time AP Poll and has appeared in 64 percent of all AP polls since 1936.

COACH TOM OSBORNE

1976

(Hastings, 1959) 255-49-3 (.836), 1973-97 Tom Osborne was hand-picked by Bob Devaney as his successor and served as assistant head coach in 1972. Osborne is credited as the offensive genius behind Devaney's national championship teams and served as a full-time assistant from 1967 to 1972. Osborne won back-toback national championships in 1994 and 1995, and a third national title in 1997. During his 25 seasons, Nebraska won 13 conference championships and went to 25 consecutive bowl games, including 17 "major" bowls. His teams won nine or more games every year and 11 national rushing titles. His athletes won six Outlands, three Lombardis, one Heisman, one Butkus and one Johnny Unitas Award. He was the fastest coach in college football history to win 200 games, doing it in just 21 seasons, and the fastest coach to reach 250 wins. In his last five seasons, Osborne's teams posted a 60-3 record, the most wins in a five-year span by any team in collegiate history. He served as Nebraska's Athletic Director from 2007 to 2012.

COACH FRANK SOLICH

(Nebraska, 1966) 58-19 (.753), 1998-03 Frank Solich was named Tom Osborne's successor on Dec. 10, 1997. He guided NU to a 12-1 record, Big 12 Championship and No. 2 final ranking in the coaches poll in 1999. In 2001, Solich led the Huskers to an 11-2 record and an appearance in the BCS title game in the Rose Bowl. In 2003, Solich coached Nebraska to a 9-3 regular-season record, but did not coach NU in the Alamo Bowl, as defensive coordinator Bo Pelini served as interim head coach. Solich was a member of Bob Devaney's first recruiting class in 1962. As a fullback, Solich earned All-Big Eight honors in 1965 and was the first Husker to rush for 200 yards in a game.

HANK

BOUNDS, PH.D UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESIDENT On January 12, 2015, the Board of Regents appointed lifelong educator Hank M. Bounds, Ph.D., as the seventh president of the University of Nebraska (NU). Bounds began his tenure on April 13, 2015, bringing a demonstrated record of expanding opportunities for students, improving higher education outcomes and efficiencies, and building successful partnerships with policymakers, donors and business leaders. He has continued working to improve educational outcomes and build partnerships since his arrival in Nebraska. Bounds has connected with leaders within the university, in the private sector, in government and in the military to increase collaboration and innovation. In late 2015, he worked with the University of Nebraska Foundation to launch a two-year, $200 million fundraising initiative to increase access and create success for current and future students. In 2015, Bounds also launched a universitywide Food for Health initiative—the first of several programs designed to increase collaborations across NU and incentivize new research that addresses critical issues important to Nebraskans and result in greater research funding opportunities. Supporting quality teaching is an important focus for Bounds, and in spring of 2016, he made a $3.5 million strategic investment to hire additional faculty and expand NU’s online course offerings. And, Bounds announced in late 2015 that NU’s enrollment has grown to its highest level in 22 years — marking progress toward the Board of Regents’ goals to expand educational access to Nebraskans and attract more talent to the state to meet workforce needs. Bounds grew up in Mississippi. His service in the Army National Guard helped him pay for college, and he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi and a doctorate from the University of Mississippi. Bounds has devoted his 25-year career to helping change students’ lives in the same way education opened doors in his own life. He began as a high school teacher, then rose to principal, superintendent and state superintendent before becoming Mississippi’s commissioner of higher education in 2009. In that role, he oversaw a complex system of eight public universities. Today, under his leadership, the University of Nebraska enrolls nearly 52,000 students, employs over 13,000 faculty and staff, and operates with an annual budget of $2.5 billion - including $235 million in research expenditures. He has identified four cornerstones that will separate NU from the rest of higher education and define a new era in university history: 1) The University of Nebraska will be the best university in the nation to be a student. 2) The University of Nebraska will transform lives through research and innovation. 3) The University of Nebraska will work hand in hand with our partners to achieve our goals. 4) The University of Nebraska will win with people. Bounds holds a faculty appointment in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and courtesy faculty appointments in the Colleges of Education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He serves on the board of directors for several organizations, including the National Association of System Heads (NASH), the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute, the Nebraska Innovation Campus Development Corporation, the Nebraska Advanced Manufacturing Coalition and the Consultation Committee for US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). He is also on the Board of Governors for the Knights of AKSARBEN. Bounds and his wife, Susie, are the parents of a son, Will, and a daughter, Caroline. They reside in Lincoln.

He drew universal praise for hiring Scott Frost, the 2017 consensus national coach of the year, as Nebraska’s head football coach in December. Following the spring semester, Moos also hired Mark Hankins to coach the men’s golf team and Sean Maymi to lead the men’s tennis program. He also oversaw several team successes in his first six months in Lincoln. Moos watched the volleyball team win its fifth national title and second in three seasons in December. In 2018, both the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams finished in the top six at the NCAA Championships, while bowling finished third and rifle finished eighth. Nebraska also continued its excellence in the classroom, producing four CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans, including three first-team selections. The awards increased Nebraska’s nation-leading total to 333 all-time CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans across all sports. Moos came to Lincoln after spending seven-plus years at Washington State (2010-17). He previously served 12 highly successful seasons as the athletic director at Oregon (1995-2007). During his time at his alma mater, Moos wasted little time in making his impact felt in Cougar Athletics, spearheading a department-wide rebranding effort with Nike while securing a 10-year, $35 million marketing rights agreement with IMG College. In addition, the 2004 WSU Alumni Achievement Award winner gained Regents approval for a $130 million addition and remodel of Martin Stadium, featuring a remodeled press box with luxury seating, including suites, loge boxes and club room. Also included in the project was a state-of-the-art video board and an 80,000-square-foot football operations building that served as the stadium’s showpiece and opened in May 2014. As the dean of Pac-12 athletic directors, Moos was at the forefront of the conference’s procurement of a 12-year, $3 billion television contract with FOX and ESPN, a landmark agreement in college athletics. Under Moos’ direction, the Cougar Athletic Fund’s Annual Giving program saw an 81 percent increase in gifts while CAF donor members rose from nearly 4,000 to more than 7,500.

Additional facility enhancements under Moos included a center-hung video board in Beasley Coliseum that was installed prior to the 2011-12 season, giving Cougar basketball one of the premier fan experiences in the conference. An indoor golf hitting facility was also completed in early 2013, and Lower Soccer Field underwent a major renovation making the venue TV-ready while also providing one of the best playing surfaces on the West Coast, along with the addition of lights and a new scoreboard. Other enhancements were made to the Moobery track facility, BaileyBrayton Field, the basketball practice gym, Gibb Pool and the Simmelink Indoor tennis courts. In Moos’ seven years at WSU, Cougar student-athletes and coaches accounted for 805 academic all-conference selections, 130 all-conference accolades, 45 All-America honors and three Pac-12 Coachof-the-Year honors. Moos served as Oregon’s director of athletics from July of 1995 to 2007. While at Oregon he oversaw a 17-sport athletic department that grew to national prominence during his tenure.Oregon’s annual athletic department budget grew from $18.5 million in his first year to more than $40 million by 2007, becoming 100 percent self-sufficient during that time. Under his direction the Duck Athletic Fund donor base increased from 4,930 to 12,290, resulting in an annual gifts increase from $4.1 million to $15.3 million. Moos initiated more than $160 million in facility improvements while at Oregon. Included in that was the $90 million Autzen Stadium renovation in 2002, which added 12,000 new seats, 32 new suites, a new Club at Autzen and a new press box to the stadium. In his 12 years, the Ducks ranked first in Pac-10 football attendance 11 times, reaching 100 percent capacity in each of those seasons. During Moos’ tenure, Oregon athletics captured 13 Pac-10 championships across six different sports. He increased opportunities for women by adding two intercollegiate programs, soccer and lacrosse, and negotiated an allinclusive shoe and apparel contract with Nike, one of only 14 in the country at the time. From an academic standpoint during Moos’ tenure, Oregon student-athletes collected 722 academic all-conference selections, 34 Academic All-America selections, nine NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients and one NCAA Top Ten Award. During his first stint as a collegiate athletic director at Montana (1990-95), Moos created an academic support program and hired its first athletic academic coordinator, developed a facility enhancement plan that created more than $4 million in improvements, and lifted the school’s fund-raising efforts to show a 300 percent increase in private and corporate gifts. Academically, Montana student-athletes were equally successful as the athletic department achieved a graduation rate 20 percent higher than the general university enrollment. Under Moos’ watch Montana garnered 269 academic all-conference selections, five Academic All-Americans and two NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients. Moos began his athletic career as an athletic administrator in 1982 as assistant athletic director at Washington State. He also served as the school’s associate athletic director (1988-90). At Washington State, he was director of development for more than five years and associate director for nearly two years, supervising all external operations. Prior to that, he managed and owned private businesses in Washington and Oregon for eight years. He was a student assistant football coach at Washington State for the 1973 season, then spent part of 1974 in Washington, D.C., serving as a government intern. Raised on a wheat and cattle ranch in eastern Washington, Moos attended high school in Olympia when his father served in the governor’s cabinet. Moos earned his bachelor’s degree in history from WSU and was a three-year letterman in football before concluding his collegiate career by representing Washington State in the 1972 East-West Shrine All-Star Game in San Francisco. He served as co-captain on the Cougars’ 1972 squad and garnered firstteam All-Pac-8 Conference honors. Moos and his wife Kendra have three daughters, Christa, Brittany and Kaiti; and two sons, Bo and Benjamin.

SIDELINE POLICIES

The Big Ten Conference maintains a strict sideline control policy in an effort to keep the playing area as safe as possible. All sideline photographers must have a photo vest and a photo pass, and both must be clearly visible. Vests will be issued beginning three hours before game time. Vests will be issued to media members with a photo pass who will be shooting still photos or video during the game. Media without a photo vest may access the sideline during pre-game and in the final five minutes of the game. Special exceptions to this also include interviews with special guests on the field at halftime, quarter breaks, etc. All other media should work from their assigned location on Level 6 or Level 7. Those individuals receiving a photo vest will be asked to sign a waiver concerning the usage of photos at the time they check out the vests. Vests may be returned to one of four locations following the game: Nebraska post-game interview room, opponent post-game interview room, press box, photographers work area. The Big Ten sideline control policy: (1) Only those photographers on assignment from a newspaper, magazine, television station or a participating institution, are given credentials. Each student publication may be limited to one press and/or one sideline photo pass. (2) Only those newspapers with Sunday and/or daily editions are eligible for sideline passes. (Special requests must be submitted to the Communications Director for review). (3) Cutline writers, equipment carriers, and/or other so-called “assistants” will not be allowed on the sideline. (4) Photographers must display their credentials (photo pass and vest) at all times. (5) University personnel are to be deployed on the sideline to ensure that all credentials are properly displayed. Those possessing bench passes (45) must remain inside the team bench area (between the 25-yard lines). (6) Photographers may not enter the bench area at any time. (7) Photographers are not permitted to congregate in the writers’ section of the media facility during halftime, during or after the game. A photographers work area is available on field level, just off the southeast corner of the playing field.

THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal. The history of the Big Ten traces back more than 120 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on January 11, James E. Delany 1895, then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders Commissioner from the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics. At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for intercollegiate athletics. On February 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905. Indiana University and the State University of Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State University joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987. As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence. In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse over the last four years. Big Ten schools compete in a total of 42 different sports, furthering the conference’s commitment to broad-based programming and providing more participation opportunities than any conference in the country. One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations. But Michigan’s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century. In January 2014, Michigan State defeated Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game. Coupling the academic goals set forth by the leaders of the charter members of the conference and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. For more than 100 years, it has been the most prestigious honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive. In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics.” Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in 1989. After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again. In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions. While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) in 1958. The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities. Annually, the schools currently constituting the Big Ten Academic Alliance produced over $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference.

In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions which would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten StudentAthlete Advisory Commission and other organizations. In 1981, the conference presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992. In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Pennsylvania State University for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members. In 2004, the Big Ten implemented a pilot program of instant replay for college football. Following the season, the conference forwarded replay proposals to the NCAA regarding the future use of instant replay, where it approved countrywide testing in 2005. In 2006, the NCAA approved the use of instant replay for all conferences. In 2006, Delany announced the creation of the first conference-owned television network, a 20-year agreement with FOX Networks to create what would become the Big Ten Network (BTN). Launched on Aug. 30, 2007, BTN now produces more than 1,500 events across all platforms each year. BTN is in more than 60 million homes in the U.S. and Canada via the nation’s major cable, satellite and telco providers and more than 300 additional cable operators across the country. BTN2Go is the digital extension of BTN, delivering live and on-demand programming to computers, smartphones and tablets and also is accessible outside the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean via BTN2Go International. On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by the University of Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12 institutions. Nebraska officially joined the Big Ten on July 1, 2011. The conference expanded its footprint further in 2012 when the COP/C approved formal membership applications from the University of Maryland and Rutgers University on November 19 and 20, respectively. Maryland and Rutgers became official Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the conference almost 9,500 students participating in intercollegiate athletics and more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams. Since opening in the fall of 2013, the Big Ten conference center hosts more than 300 meetings annually for member institutions, Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly CIC) related committees and coaches’ groups. The headquarters also features an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience – which brings the conference’s storied academic and athletic history to life. For more information on the Big Ten Experience, go to bigten.org. In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service, while other conference and institutional administrators utilize the space as necessary when conducting business on the East Coast. The Big Ten and its member institutions also have access to satellite office space in Washington, D.C. Delany and his staff work to meet the educational needs of students competing in intercollegiate athletics to allow them to excel in all areas of their lives. The conference office manages 28 different championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of more than 1,400 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten. More than 120 years after its inception, the Big Ten remains a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field. Big Ten programs have combined to win more than 450 team and 1,800 individual national championships, consistently taking home individual honors for athletic and academic accomplishments and fulfilling the Big Ten’s mission of academic achievement and athletic success.
