SEASON NOTEBOOK

FROST SET FOR SECOND SEASON

Scott Frost is set for his second season at Nebraska in 2019. The consensus 2017 national coach of the year, Frost boasts a 23-15 career record in three seasons as a collegiate head coach. • Although Nebraska finished with a 4-8 record in 2018, five of the Huskers’ eight losses were by five or fewer points, including a trio of three-point defeats. • Frost led Nebraska to four wins in its final six games last fall. The two losses during that stretch were a five-point loss at an Ohio State team that ended the year ranked No. 3 in the nation and a threepoint loss at Iowa, when the Hawkeyes kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired. Iowa finished with a No. 25 ranking. • Frost looks to continue a trend of success for Husker coaches in their second season. Each of Nebraska’s last five head coaches won at least eight games in their second season, while the four head coaches previous to Frost each produced their best winning percentage at Nebraska in year two. • As the head coach at UCF, Frost improved from 6-7 in his first season to 13-0 in year two. A similar turnaround at Nebraska could be historic. A nine-win season by Nebraska in 2019 would tie for the second-largest win improvement from one season to the next in school history (five games), while a 10-win campaign would tie the largest win improvement (six games). • In Orlando, Frost posted the greatest two-year turnaround in college football history. He inherited an 0-12 team and guided 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, when he led UCF to a 13-0 season in his second season in 2017. • Of Frost’s 10 assistant coaches, nine have been with him in each of his four seasons as a collegiate head coach dating back to the 2016 season at UCF. • Frost has been a proven winner in his coaching career. In 12 seasons as a full-time assistant or head coach, Frost’s teams have posted a 126-33 record, averaging nearly 11 wins per season. Frost has been a part of seven conference championship teams and coached in two national championship games in his 12 seasons. • Frost’s teams have been ranked in the top 15 in 10 of his 12 seasons, including eight final top-10 rankings and six final top-five rankings.

COACHING STAFF NEARLY INTACT FROM 2018

Nine of Nebraska’s 10 assistant coaches will return for their second season in 2019, with all nine having coached with Scott Frost in each of his four seasons as a head coach. It appeared the Huskers would return their entire coaching staff until Mike Dawson was hired in February by the New York Giants. • Despite Dawson’s departure, Nebraska still returns nine assistant coaches, its highest number of returning assistants since 2013. That was also the last time a Husker coaching staff had zero turnover during the offseason, as Nebraska has had at least one coaching change each of the last six seasons. • The lone new addition to the staff is Tony Tuioti, who will coach the Husker defensive line. Tuioti comes to Nebraska after spending the past two seasons at Cal, including the 2018 campaign as the Bears’ defensive line coach. Tuioti was also an assistant defensive line coach for two seasons in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns in 2014 and 2015.

Note: Riley, Pelini, Callahan and Solich each posted the best winning percentage of their Husker career in their second season. • Nebraska’s coaching staff has been lauded the past three seasons. In addition to Scott Frost being recognized as the 2017 national coach of the year while at UCF, the Husker staff features a 2017 Broyles Award finalist in offensive coordinator Troy Walters (2017) and two Broyles Award nominees in defensive coordinator Erik Chinander (2016) and quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco (2018). The Broyles Award is presented annually to the nation’s top assistant coach.

2019 SCHEDULE FEATURES SEVEN BOWL TEAMS

This fall, Nebraska will face seven teams that played in a bowl game a season ago and three squads that ended the 2018 season in the Associated Press top-25 poll. • Nebraska will open its season on Aug. 31 against South Alabama. The Huskers are 13-0 all-time in the month of August and will be playing their first game in the month since opening the 2014 season with a 55-7 victory over Florida Atlantic on Aug. 30. • After playing 12 consecutive weeks during the 2018 season, NU will have two byes (Oct. 19 and Nov. 9) during the 2019 season. The last time Nebraska had two byes in the same season was in 2014. • Nebraska will face three defending conference division champions in a four-game stretch from Sept. 14 to Oct. 5. The Huskers host Northern Illinois, winners of the Mid-American West Division, on Sept. 14. Following a game at Illinois (Sept. 21), the Huskers host reigning Big Ten champion Ohio State (Sept. 28) and defending West Division champion Northwestern (Oct. 5) in consecutive weeks. The Huskers played both 2018 Big Ten division champs close on the road, losing by a combined eight points at Northwestern and Ohio State, including an overtime loss to the Wildcats. • The Huskers will take on a 2018 bowl team in three straight weeks against Ohio State (Sept. 28), Northwestern (Oct. 5) and at Minnesota (Oct. 12). NU will then face a bowl team in three of its four November games, traveling to Purdue (Nov. 2) and hosting Wisconsin (Nov. 16) and Iowa (Nov. 29). • In addition to facing seven teams that made a bowl game last season, the Huskers will take on five teams that appeared in the AP top-25 poll at least once last season. Ohio State was ranked as high as No. 2 last season before finishing with a No. 3 ranking. Northwestern was No. 21 in the final poll - one spot lower than its highest ranking of the season - while Iowa was No. 25 after climbing as high as No. 18 during the regular season. Wisconsin was as high as No. 4 in the 2018 rankings and Colorado climbed as high as No. 19, but both teams finished the season unranked. • Nebraska will face four teams with a new head coach in 2019: Colorado (Mel Tucker); Northern Illinois (Thomas Hammock); Ohio State (Ryan Day); and Maryland (Michael Locksley).


NU BOLSTERED BY LATE-SEASON IMPROVEMENT

Nebraska was a much improved team over the second half of the 2018 season. NU started 0-6 last season, but the Huskers rebounded to win four of their final six games. Nebraska’s 4-2 finish featured three wins by at least three touchdowns and included victories over bowl teams Michigan State and Minnesota. The Huskers’ two losses both came on the road by a total of eight points to opponents who finished the 2018 season ranked in the top 25. Nebraska had a second-half lead at Big Ten champion Ohio State before losing by five, and the Huskers lost the season finale at Iowa, 31-28, when the Hawkeyes kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired. The Huskers improved by nearly four touchdowns per game in the second half of last season, scoring 13.4 more points per game and allowing 14.1 fewer points per contest. NU also had 14 takeaways in the final six games last season, compared to six in the first six contests.

HUSKER OFFENSE MADE BIG STRIDES IN 2018

Despite a new system and a true freshman starting quarterback, Nebraska featured one of the nation’s top offenses in 2018. The Huskers were also one of the nation’s most improved units. • Nebraska ranked 25th nationally in total offense in 2018, averaging 456.2 yards per game. The Huskers’ average was the program’s highest in six seasons, and Nebraska finished in the top 25 in total offense for the first time since 2008. • NU gained at least 450 yards of offense in seven consecutive games during the 2018 season, the longest such streak in school history. • The Huskers eclipsed 500 yards of total offense five times last fall, the program’s most games with 500 yards of offense since 2000. • Nebraska featured a balanced offense in 2018, gaining more than 2,500 yards rushing and 2,500 yards passing, marking just the fourth time the Huskers had reached both of those marks in a season. • In its eighth season as a member of the Big Ten Conference in 2018, Nebraska posted its highest point total (54 vs. Illinois) and most total yards (659 vs. Minnesota) in a Big Ten game. • Nebraska averaged 71.2 more yards of total offense per game in 2018 than it did in 2017, which marked the 14th-largest improvement in the country. NU also went from a No. 87 ranking in total offense in 2017 to a No. 25 ranking in 2018, with the 62-spot improvement ranking as the seventh-largest improvement nationally. • A big part of Nebraska’s offensive success was an improved rushing attack. The Huskers ranked 28th nationally in rushing in 2018, averaging 209.0 yards per game. In 2017, Nebraska ranked 119th nationally in rushing at 107.5 yards per game. The Huskers ranked second nationally with a 91-spot improvement in the rushing offense rankings and were third nationally with a rushing improvement of 101.5 yards per game from the 2017 to the 2018 season.

SPIELMAN CONTINUES TO CLIMB HUSKER CHARTS

Wide receiver JD Spielman has been a big part of the Husker offense each of his first two seasons, and his impact could be even greater this fall as Nebraska looks to replace Stanley Morgan Jr., the Huskers’ all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards. Spielman has 121 catches for 1,648 yards in his first two seasons. He already ranks seventh on Nebraska’s all-time receiving yards list and is eighth in receptions. Spielman has earned All-Big Ten accolades in each of his first two seasons, and he was a freshman All-American in 2017. • Spielman enters his junior season needing 69 receptions and 1,100 yards to become Nebraska’s all-time leader in both categories. He has averaged nearly 61 catches and 842 receiving yards per season. On a per-game basis, Spielman averages 5.8 receptions per game and 78.5 receiving yards per game. With those averages, he would become NU’s all-time leader in receptions in a 13-game season and would tie the all-time receiving yards record in a 14-game season. • Spielman reached 1,000 career receiving yards in only 15 games. He reached the mark faster than any other Husker, eclipsing Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers, who recorded his 1,000th career receiving yard in his 16th game. • Spielman is the only player in school history to record 100 career catches prior to his junior season. It took Spielman just 18 games to record his 100th career reception. • Spielman owns the only two 200-yard receiving games in Husker history (200 vs. Ohio State in 2017; 209 at Wisconsin in 2018). • Spielman boasts two career games with 10 or more receptions (11 vs. Ohio State in 2017; 10 vs. Purdue in 2018). He is the only Husker wide receiver with two career double-digit reception games and just the second player overall (running back Marlon Lucky had two career games with double-digit catches). • Spielman had more than 800 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons. The only other Huskers with two 800-yard receiving seasons in a career are Johnny Rodgers and Stanley Morgan Jr. No Husker has ever had three 800-yard receiving seasons. • Spielman had at least 55 catches in each of his first two seasons. The only other Huskers with two 50-reception seasons in a career are Johnny Rodgers, Kenny Bell and Stanley Morgan Jr. No Husker has ever had three 50-catch seasons. • Spielman had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in his first career touch against Arkansas State in the 2017 season opener, and last year against Bethune-Cookman, he returned a punt 77 yards for a score. Spielman is one of only eight players in program history to return both a punt and kickoff for a touchdown.

SPIELMAN AMONG NATION’S TOP WIDEOUTS

In addition to leaving his mark on the Nebraska record books, JD Spielman is one of the top returning receivers in the country in 2019. The two-time All-Big Ten selection has earned a spot on the Biletnikoff Award watch list each of the last two seasons, and he was a freshman All-American in 2017. • Spielman has totaled 1,648 receiving yards in 21 career games. That total ranks third nationally among non-seniors. Spielman is one of only five non-seniors who enter the 2019 season with 1,600 career receiving yards, and Spielman is the only member of that quintet who has played fewer than 24 career games. • Spielman averages 78.5 receiving yards per game in his career, a total that ranks second nationally among all 2019 FBS receivers and first among any receiver who has played more than one season. • As one of the nation’s most productive receivers the past two seasons, Spielman is also one of the top wideouts in the Big Ten Conference. His career totals of 121 receptions and 1,648 receiving yards both rank third among all 2019 Big Ten receivers and are the highest totals among non-seniors. • In Big Ten play, Spielman has posted 1,339 career receiving yards. He owns more receiving yards in conference play than any other active Big Ten player, an impressive accomplishment considering Spielman has only played in 15 career Big Ten games, missing the final conference game of the 2017 season and the final two Big Ten contests last season.

MARTINEZ BACK AFTER BIG FRESHMAN YEAR

Adrian Martinez returns for his second season as Nebraska’s starting quarterback in 2019 after earning freshman All-America honors in 2018. Martinez started 11 of 12 games last fall, more than all other true freshmen quarterbacks in NU history combined. He led an offense that ranked 25th nationally with an average of 456.2 yards per game. Martinez completed nearly 65 percent of his passes, threw for 2,617 yards and 17 touchdowns and rushed for 629 yards and eight scores. • Martinez averaged a school-record 295.1 yards of total offense per game in 2018, an average that ranked 12th nationally and was first among freshmen. The average was the ninth-highest total offense average by a freshman in NCAA history, even though Martinez played only one snap in the second half at Michigan and sat out the entire second half against Bethune-Cookman. • Martinez also set Husker season records for 300-yard total offense games (7) and 400-yard total offense games (3), while also tying the Nebraska career record with three 400-yard total offense games. • Martinez set NU freshman records in completions (224), completion percentage (64.6), passing yards (2,617), passing touchdowns (17), total offensive yards (3,246) and total touchdowns (25). His 629 rushing yards were the most ever by a Husker true freshman quarterback and the most by any true freshman since 2002. • In addition to his school records, Martinez ranked fifth on Nebraska’s season chart in total offensive yards and eighth in passing yards. • Martinez averaged 237.9 passing yards per game and 57.2 rushing yards per game in 2018. He was one of only four FBS quarterbacks who averaged 225 passing yards and 50 rushing yards per game in 2018. • Martinez became the sixth freshman in NCAA history to average 200 passing yards and 50 rushing yards per game and just the second true freshman to hit those marks (first at a Power Five school). • Martinez was a three-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week selection in 2018, earning the honor against Minnesota, Ohio State and Illinois. He was the first quarterback to win the award three times since Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett in 2014.

BOOTLE, BARRY RETURN AFTER BIG SEASONS

Senior inside linebacker Mohamed Barry and junior cornerback Dicaprio Bootle both return in 2019 after breakout seasons in 2018 in which both players earned third-team All-Big Ten recognition. • Barry led NU with 112 tackles in 2018, the most by a Husker since Lavonte David made 133 stops in 2011. Barry was second in the Big Ten and 38th nationally with an average of 9.3 tackles per game, and he is the Big Ten’s leading returner in that category. Barry will look to become the sixth Husker to have back-to-back 100-tackle seasons, joining David (2010-11), Barrett Ruud (2003-04), Lee Kunz (1977-78), Clete Pillen (1975-76) and Jerry Murtaugh (1969-70). • Bootle broke up 15 passes in 2018. That total ranked ninth nationally and was the second-highest total in school history.

NU RANKS AMONG ATTENDANCE LEADERS

Nebraska averaged 89,034 fans over seven home games in 2018 to rank 10th nationally in average attendance. Nebraska has ranked in the top 11 nationally in attendance each of the past six seasons, in the top 15 every season since 2006 and in the top 20 every year this century.

RECORD SELLOUT STREAK CONTINUES

Nebraska has sold out every game at Memorial Stadium since Nov. 3, 1962, an NCAA-record streak of 368 consecutive sellouts, 100 more than second-place Notre Dame. Nebraska is 310-58 (.842) during the streak and overall attendance during the streak is more than 27 million fans.

HUSKERS OWN BIG HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE

Nebraska has rewarded its fans with great success at Memorial Stadium. The Huskers have won at least six home games in 24 of the past 32 seasons. Nebraska is 175-36 (.838) at home over the last 30 seasons. • Since 1970, Nebraska has had three home winning streaks of 20 or more games and has posted 41 perfect home seasons. • The Huskers are 544-155-20 all-time in Lincoln (.771 in 129 years) and 419-132-13 (.756 in 95 years) in Memorial Stadium (since 1923). • Nebraska won its final four home games in 2018.

NEBRASKA AMONG TOP ALL-TIME PROGRAMS

Nebraska will play its 130th season of football in 2019, and the Huskers boast an 897-388-40 all-time record (.692) in 1,325 games. NU is one of 10 programs with 800 all-time victories, ranking sixth with 897 wins. • Nebraska will look to join the 900-win club this fall. Entering the 2019 season, Michigan (953), Ohio State (911), Texas (909) and Alabama (905) are the only teams with 900 all-time wins. • Since 1970, Nebraska owns a 463-146-5 record (.758), and the Huskers are the nation’s wins leader over the last 40 and 50 years. • Nebraska boasts 27 10-win seasons in school history, including 24 since 1970. The Huskers also have 12 seasons with 11 or more wins, seven seasons with 12 or more wins and three 13-win seasons. • The Huskers own 50 all-time nine-win seasons, an NCAA record. Forty-two of those nine-win seasons have come since 1970 and 48 since 1962, 13 more than any other school. • Nebraska was the first team in NCAA history to win 100 games in consecutive decades, leading the nation with 103 wins in the 1980s and ranking second with 108 wins in the 1990s.

HUSKERS IN TOP SIX ALL-TIME IN NATIONAL TITLES

Nebraska has won five national championships, including three outright titles and two shared championships. The Huskers’ four Associated Press national titles rank sixth all-time behind Alabama (11), Notre Dame (8), Oklahoma (7), Miami (5) and USC (5). NU’s four coaches poll titles rank fourth behind Alabama (9), Oklahoma (6) and USC (5).

HUSKERS SECOND IN CONFERENCE CROWNS

Nebraska is one of only three schools in NCAA history that has won 40 conference championships, ranking second all-time with 46 conference titles, one behind Oklahoma (47) and four more than Michigan (42). In 36 seasons (1962-97) under Hall-of-Fame coaches Bob Devaney (8) and Tom Osborne (13), the Huskers won 21 conference titles.

2019

QUARTER BACKS RETURNING PLAYERS NO. PLAYER 17 Andrew Bunch 2 Adrian Martinez 16 Noah Vedral 18 Matt Masker

ADRIAN MARTINEZ Nebraska brings back every quarterback from its 2018 roster, while adding two freshmen to the fold. The Huskers return 100 percent of their passing production from last season. The returning experience comes after Nebraska entered each of the last two seasons without a single quarterback on the roster who had taken a snap for the Huskers. Last year, all four Husker quarterbacks were underclassmen, three of the four were in their first season on campus and the only quarterback with FBS experience - first-year UCF transfer Noah Vedral - was not granted eligibility by the NCAA until the seventh game of the season. This year, the Huskers return three quarterbacks who saw action in 2018. Adrian Martinez won the job as a true freshman and started 11 of Nebraska’s 12 games, more than all other true freshman quarterbacks in program history combined. Martinez completed nearly 65 percent of his passes while throwing for 2,617 yards and 17 touchdowns. On the ground, Martinez ran for 629 yards and eight scores. Behind Martinez, junior Andrew Bunch earned one start and appeared in five games last season, throwing for 320 yards and two touchdowns. Vedral, who appeared in eight games as a true freshman at UCF in 2017, played the entire second half against Bethune-Cookman and scored a rushing touchdown but preserved a season of eligibilty by only appearing in that game and taking a redshirt for the 2018 season. Martinez and Bunch each earned a letter a season ago, giving Nebraska its first returning letterwinners at the quarterback position since 2016 and two returning letterwinners for the first time since 2013. • The play of Nebraska’s quarterbacks helped lead a Husker offense that ranked 25th nationally with an average of 456.2 yards per game and set a school record by gaining at least 450 yards of offense in seven consecutive games. • The Huskers also posted the second-highest team completion percentage (63.6) in school history and the fifth-highest passing yards per game average (247.2). • Martinez set a school record by averaging 295.1 yards of total offense per game in 2018. That total ranked 12th nationally and was the top mark among all freshmen. Martinez also set school records with seven 300-yard total offense games and three 400-yard total offense games. Overall, Martinez posted three of the top 15 total offense games in program history as a true freshman in 2018. • Martinez earned freshman All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America, earning a spot on the team along with Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence.

BIG TEN TIDBIT Maurice Washington had a 100-yard rushing game against Minnesota and a 100-yard receiving game against Iowa as a true freshman in 2018. Washington and Illinois’ Josh Ferguson (2015) are the only Big Ten West players to have a 100-yard rushing and 100-yard receiving game in the same conference season since the West Division was created in 2014.

MAURICE WASHINGTON Nebraska’s backfield figures to be one of the most exciting positions to watch this fall. What the Huskers lack in experience they make up for in talent and potential. Ten of the Huskers’ 13 running backs are either freshmen or sophomores, while collectively the group has fewer than 115 carries in a Nebraska uniform. The Huskers have only three upperclassmen at the running back spot. Of those three, senior Wyatt Mazour is the only one to carry the ball in a Husker uniform, as he had the first 11 carries of his career last season. Leading the way is sophomore Maurice Washington, who emerged as a dangerous runner and receiver as a true freshman in 2018. Washington carried the ball 77 times for 455 yards last season, scoring three touchdowns. He also caught 24 passes for 221 yards and one touchdown. Washington was Nebraska’s third-leading rusher and third-leading receiver, and he averaged 6.7 yards per touch out of the backfield. Mazour is the only other returning running back who toted the ball for the Huskers in 2018. Mazour gained 76 yards on 11 carries last fall, scored the first touchdown of his career at Michigan and caught the first pass of his career with a 21-yard reception against the Wolverines. Jaylin Bradley redshirted last season after playing in seven games as a true freshman in 2017. His 24 carries and 93 rushing yards trail only Washington for the most production at Nebraska by any Husker back. Although he is in his first year in Lincoln, the Huskers’ most experienced running back is junior college transfer Dedrick Mills. Mills played his freshman season at Georgia Tech in 2016, where he carried the ball 152 times for 771 yards and scored 12 touchdowns while averaging 85.7 yards per game. Even though he has played just one season at the FBS level, Mills has more attempts, rushing yards and touchdowns than every other running back on Nebraska’s roster combined. • The versatile Washington had both a 100-yard rushing and 100-yard receiving game and was the only Husker to score both a rushing and receiving touchdown in 2018. He became the fourth running back in NU history to have a 100-yard receiving game, and his 24 receptions in 2018 were the second-most catches by a true freshman in school history, regardless of position. • Mills was an honorable-mention junior college All-American for Garden City (Kan.) Community College in 2018 after ranking fourth in the junior college ranks in rushing yards (1,358). He was also tabbed as the nation’s No. 1 junior college running back. • Nebraska also signed three of the nation’s top six all-purpose backs in the 2019 recruiting class: Wan’Dale Robinson (No. 1), who is expected to primarily line up at wide receiver; Ronald Thompkins (No. 5); and Rahmir Johnson (No. 6).

WIDE RECEIVERS RETURNING PLAYERS

JD SPIELMAN Nebraska lost its all-time leading receiver, Stanley Morgan Jr., to graduation, but the Huskers return one of the nation’s top wide receivers in junior JD Spielman. While Spielman and Cal graduate transfer Kanawai Noa give the Huskers proven production at the position, Nebraska’s other wideouts have significantly less experience. Thirteen of the 19 receivers on the roster are underclassmen, and only three Husker wide receivers have more than one season of FBS playing experience. Spielman owns more career receptions and receiving yards than the rest of Nebraska’s returners combined, and he is the only wideout on the roster who has caught a touchdown pass at NU. A 2017 freshman All-American and two-time All-Big Ten honoree, Spielman has caught 121 passes for 1,648 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first two seasons. Spielman had a career-high 66 catches and totaled 818 receiving yards in only 10 games last season, and he led NU with eight touchdown grabs. Behind Spielman, only five other Husker wideouts have a career reception. Noa joined the Huskers this summer as a graduate transfer from Cal, where he caught 96 passes for 1,267 yards and six touchdowns over the past three seasons. Senior Mike Williams began his career at Georgia Southern, then spent one season in junior college before joining Nebraska in 2018. He caught 12 passes for 122 yards in 10 games last year and has 15 career receptions for 149 yards. Sophomore Kade Warner, senior Jaron Woodyard and redshirt freshman Miles Jones each made their FBS debut in 2018. Warner earned seven starts and had 17 catches for 95 yards. A former junior college AllAmerican, Woodyard played in eight games and caught one pass for 10 yards in his first season at NU. Jones appeared in two games and caught one pass for 21 yards in 2018, before suffering a season-ending injury. • Spielman averages 78.5 receiving yards per game in his career, a total that ranks second nationally among all 2019 FBS receivers. • Spielman enters 2019 in seventh place on Nebraska’s all-time receiving yards list (1,648) and eighth in receptions (121). He is 1,100 yards from becoming NU’s all-time leader in receiving yards (2,648) and 69 catches from becoming the all-time receptions leader (190). • Spielman has the only two 200-yard receiving games in Husker history, and he is the only wide receiver in program history to have two career games with 10 or more receptions. • This fall, Spielman will look to become the first Husker ever to post three 50-catch seasons and three 800-yard receiving seasons. • NU signed the nation’s No. 61 overall recruit in Wan’Dale Robinson and three of the top 50 receivers in the 2019 class: Jamie Nance (No. 40), Darrien Chase (No. 42) and Demariyon Houston (No. 49).

BIG TEN TIDBIT Nebraska returns four tight ends who had at least one reception in 2018, the highest total among Big Ten teams. While the Huskers return four tight ends who had a catch in 2018, the other six Big Ten West teams have a combined nine returning tight ends who caught a pass in 2018.

Nebraska returns every tight end from its 2018 roster, highlighted by junior Jack Stoll. Stoll is the only Husker who has played more than one season for the Big Red. While four of Nebraska’s nine tight ends are freshmen and a fifth is a first-year transfer, sophomores Austin Allen and Kurt Rafdal joined Stoll by playing in every game last season and Katerian LeGrone played in three contests while utilizing his redshirt season. The only returning Husker who has started at tight end, Stoll has played in almost as many games himself (24) as the rest of Nebraska’s returning tight ends combined (27). He has caught 29 passes for 334 yards and five touchdowns in his career, while the other five returning Husker tight ends have combined for seven receptions and 129 receiving yards. Each of Nebraska’s four returning tight ends who had a catch last year set career highs in both receptions and receiving yards. Stoll led the way with 21 receptions for 245 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. Stoll finished the season strong, catching 11 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns over the final five games. Rafdal, Allen and LeGrone each caught the first pass of their career last season, with Rafdal hauling in four catches for 67 yards. Allen averaged 27.0 yards per reception by catching two passes for 54 yards, and LeGrone made an eight-yard grab against Bethune-Cookman. • Nebraska returns 100 percent of the receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns it recorded from its tight ends corps in 2018. All production from the tight ends in 2018 came from underclassmen, and none of Nebraska’s nine tight ends is a senior. • The Husker tight ends also played a big role in a Nebraska running game that was the second-most improved rushing attack in the country in 2018. Nebraska ran for more than 2,500 yards last season, averaging more than 5.0 yards per carry and 200 yards per game. • Stoll was on the preseason watch list for the John Mackey Award in 2018, which is presented annually to the nation’s best tight end. The last Husker to appear on the Mackey Award watch list in backto-back seasons was Kyler Reed as a junior and senior in 2011 and 2012, respectively. • In addition to six returning players at the position - including four who have played in multiple games - Nebraska added three new tight ends to its roster during the offseason. Included in that group is Chris Hickman, who was the No. 18 tight end recruit in the 2019 class and enrolled early to participate in spring practice. • Travis Vokolek joined the team in the summer, although he must sit out the 2019 season. Vokolek played in 19 games the past two years at Rutgers, making 17 catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns.

NEWCOMERS BRENDEN JAIMES & BOE WILSON With one of the top returning quarterbacks and wide receivers in the country, Nebraska’s skill position players may steal the headlines, but it is up front where the Huskers have their most veteran talent, returning three starters from last year’s offensive line. Despite having only two seniors, Nebraska’s 15 returning offensive linemen have combined to play in 111 career games. The Huskers return three proven starters in juniors Matt Farniok (right tackle), Brenden Jaimes (left tackle) and Boe Wilson (right guard). That trio will anchor a line that will feature a first-year starter at both center and left guard. Senior Christian Gaylord is the only other returning letterwinner on the offensive line, and the majority of his playing time has come as a protector on Nebraska’s kicking units. Junior John Raridon and sophomores Trent Hixson, Hunter Miller and Matt Sichterman all gained valuable experience as underclassmen last season. • The offensive line helped Nebraska rank 25th nationally in total offense in the first year of a new scheme in 2018. Three starters return from that unit, which also helped the Huskers post the nation’s No. 2 most improved rushing attack and No. 7 most improved offense in terms of yards per game. • Jaimes has started 21 consecutive games. He earned honorablemention All-Big Ten recognition last season, when he started every game at left tackle. In 2017, Jaimes started the final nine games at right tackle, setting a record for the most starts by a true freshman offensive lineman in Nebraska history. • Wilson was also an honorable-mention All-Big Ten pick in 2018, despite not opening the season as a starter. Wilson moved into the starting lineup in the fourth game of the year and started the final nine games at right guard. • Matt Farniok started all 12 games at right tackle in 2018. He has made 16 career starts in two seasons. • Even though it’s rare for true freshmen to make an impact on the offensive line, NU welcomes an impressive group of newcomers. The group is highlighted by Bryce Benhart, who ranked among the nation’s top 150 overall recruits and top 20 offensive tackles.

BIG TEN TIDBIT Nebraska is one of four Big Ten teams in 2019 who return multiple defensive linemen who earned all-conference recognition in 2018.

CARLOS & KHALIL DAVIS The most experienced unit for Nebraska in 2019 is the defensive line, which features more seniors (six), more returning players with game experience (11), more career games played (190) and more career starts (47) than any other Husker position group. Nebraska returns two of its three starters from last year in Carlos Davis and Ben Stille, in addition to bringing back Khalil Davis, who was the leading tackler among defensive linemen in 2018. The Davis twins each earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition in productive junior seasons last fall. Carlos started nine games and registered 27 tackles and five pass breakups, the most by a Husker defensive lineman since Ndamukong Suh in 2009. Khalil played in all 12 games last season and led the Husker defensive line with career highs of 41 tackles and eight tackles for loss. Stille returns after starting more games last season (11) than any other returning defensive lineman. He led the defensive line and was second on the team with 5.0 sacks in 2018. The defensive line also returns letterwinners DaiShon Neal, Damion Daniels and Deontre Thomas. Nebraska further bolstered its defensive line depth with the addition of graduate transfer Darrion Daniels, who transfered from Oklahoma State and arrived on campus in January. The older brother of Damion Daniels, Darrion was limited to four games in 2018 due to injury, allowing him to redshirt. In 2017, he started 10 games for the Cowboys and had 26 tackles and five tackles for loss. In his Oklahoma State career, Daniels totaled 64 tackles, 9.5 TFLs and 2.0 sacks. • The defensive line will be led by a new coach in 2019, as Tony Tuioti begins his first season in Lincoln. Tuioti is Nebraska’s third defensive line coach in the past three years. • Carlos Davis has started 25 games in his career, the most of any Husker on the 2019 roster. • In 2017, Stille became the first freshman to lead the Huskers in TFLs since the stat began being tracked (1968) and the first freshman to lead Nebraska in sacks since the stat became official (1981). • The Huskers also signed an impressive group of defensive linemen in the 2019 recruiting class. The class is highlighted by Ty Robinson, who was ranked among the nation’s top 100 overall recruits.

MOHAMED BARRY Nebraska returns starting inside linebacker Mohamed Barry, but the Huskers must replace the lost production of Dedrick Young II, who graduated as the fifth-leading tackler in program history. Nebraska is inexperienced behind Barry, a 2018 third-team All-Big Ten selection, as 10 of the 13 inside linebackers on the roster are freshmen and only three players - Barry and juniors Will Honas and Collin Miller - have ever played in a collegiate game. Barry enjoyed a breakout season as a junior in 2018. He started all 12 games and led Nebraska with 112 tackles after totaling just 44 tackles in his first two seasons combined. Barry, who added 12 TFLs and 2.0 sacks, led the Huskers in tackles nine times last season, ranking second in the Big Ten and 38th nationally with an average of 9.3 tackles per game. Injuries limited Honas to four games in his first season at Nebraska in 2018, and he used his redshirt after suffering a season-ending injury. A junior college All-American, Honas registering 15 tackles with one tackle for loss in his four games. Miller had a career-high 17 tackles last season and made his first career tackle for loss. In his career, he ranks second among NU’s inside linebackers in games played (24) and tackles (28). • In 2018, Barry had the most tackles (112) by a Husker since AllAmerican Lavonte David made 133 stops in 2011. Barry had seven games with 10 or more tackles, becoming the fifth Husker to have seven double-figure tackle games in one season. • Nebraska welcomes six newcomers to the inside linebacker position in 2019. Highlighting that group is in-state product Nick Henrich, who enrolled early and participated in spring drills before suffering an injury. Henrich was regarded as one of the nation’s top 100 overall players and the No. 6 inside linebacker prospect in the 2019 recruiting class. Tennessee native Jackson Hannah was rated as the nation’s No. 14 inside linebacker prospect.

BIG TEN TIDBIT Nebraska returns three outside linebackers - Alex Davis, JoJo Domann and Tyrin Ferguson - who started multiple Big Ten games last season.

Nebraska brings back three outside linebackers with starting experience in 2019, but the Huskers also must replace Luke Gifford, who was NU’s leader in sacks and tackles for loss in 2018. Seniors Tyrin Ferguson and Alex Davis both return after splitting time as starters opposite Gifford in 2018, while junior JoJo Domann is back after he emerged as a playmaker at the position late last season, starting two of the final four games after lining up at safety for the first two-and-a-half seasons of his career. Ferguson, who had eight tackles in his first two seasons, battled injuries to appear in eight games with four starts as a junior, making 36 tackles. He added 1.0 sack and six tackles for loss, the first TFLs of his career. Davis started four games in 2018 and his nine career starts are more than the rest of Nebraska’s outside linebackers combined. Domann totaled 19 tackles splitting time at safety and outside linebacker in 2018, but he had one sack, two pass breakups and two forced fumbles from his outside linebacker spot in the month of November. Domann worked exclusively at outside linebacker in the spring. Sophomore Caleb Tannor is the only underclassmen among the outside linebackers who has game experience. He played in every game as a true freshman last season, recording 10 tackles and 1.0 sack. • Three Huskers started multiple games last season, as Ferguson and Davis each made four starts and Domann earned a pair of starts. Outside linebacker is Nebraska’s only defensive position group with three players who have started multiple games in a Husker uniform. • NU added two scholarship players and three walk-ons at outside linebacker. In-state product Garrett Nelson was ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in Nebraska in the 2019 recruiting class, and Nelson enrolled early and participated in spring ball. The Huskers also added Jamin Graham, one of the top prospects in Alabama.

DICAPRIO BOOTLE & LAMAR JACKSON

NEWCOMERS

Nebraska returns every cornerback from its 2018 roster, including both starters. The position is full of experience as six of Nebraska’s 12 cornerbacks begin at least their third season in the program this fall. Junior Dicaprio Bootle (12 starts) and senior Lamar Jackson (11 starts) were the Huskers’ starters a season ago. The duo is one of the top cornerback tandems in the Big Ten. The pair combined for 22 pass breakups last season, helping the Huskers rank 34th nationally in pass efficiency defense. Bootle posted a big sophomore campaign in his first year as a starter in 2018, earning third-team All-Big Ten accolades. He led the cornerbacks with a career-high 39 tackles and broke up a team-high 15 passes, the second-most in NU history and the ninth-highest total nationally in 2018. Jackson enters his third season as a starter in 2019 after starting 23 of Nebraska’s 24 games at corner the past two seasons. He enjoyed the best season of his career last fall, registering 29 tackles while intercepting the first two passes of his career, totaling a career-high seven pass breakups and forcing his first fumble in a Husker uniform. Promising sophomore Cam Taylor played in 11 games as a true freshman in 2018, and he recorded 12 tackles and broke up three passes. Junior Tony Butler, a converted safety, and sophomore Ethan Cox have also earned playing time in the secondary during their careers in addition to contributing on special teams. Braxton Clark played in four games as a true freshman in 2018 and had one tackle while preserving his redshirt season. • In addition to ranking 34th nationally in pass efficiency defense in 2018 - a 61-spot improvement from the 2017 season - Nebraska broke up 58 passes, the ninth-highest total in program history. The Husker cornerbacks contributed 25 of those 58 breakups. • This season marks the first time in three years that Nebraska returns a pair of cornerbacks - Bootle and Jackson - who each started at least 10 games the previous season. • Bootle earned third-team All-Big Ten honors in 2018 to become the first NU cornerback to earn all-conference honors in three seasons. • Jackson has made 24 career starts at corner, ranking second on Nebraska’s 2019 roster in career starts, regardless of position. He posted his first career interception against Troy last season, which was the first interception by a Husker cornerback in 21 games. • Among the newcomers, Quinton Newsome was ranked among the nation’s top 35 safety prospects while Javin Wright was rated among the nation’s top 70 cornerback recruits.

BIG TEN TIDBIT Deontai Williams is one of only two returning defensive backs league-wide who forced multiple fumbles during the 2018 Big Ten Conference season.

While Nebraska boasts plenty of returning experience at corner, that is not the case at safety. The Huskers primarily used a four-safety rotation last season, and three of those safeties were lost to graduation. Nebraska returns only 20 percent of its 2018 tackles from the safety spot, and the player with the most career production - Eric Lee Jr. - is a converted cornerback in his first year lining up at safety. Junior Deontai Williams saw extensive playing time as a first-year junior college transfer in 2018, and he is the only returning safety who played in all 12 games last season. Williams proved to be a ballhawk, tying for the team lead with two interceptions, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, while also adding a pair of pass breakups. Junior Marquel Dismuke has appeared in 20 games with one career start. Dismuke has totaled 44 tackles in his career, the most among any Husker who has earned the majority of his playing time at the safety spot. Dismuke appeared in eight games last season and registered 10 tackles, including four special teams stops. Senior Eric Lee Jr. is a converted cornerback who brings much needed depth to the safety spot. Lee started seven games at cornerback in his first three seasons and his 45 career tackles, two tackles for loss and two breakups are the most career production of any Husker safety. Seniors Avery Anderson and Jeramiah Stovall and junior Eli Sullivan have also seen playing time in the secondary, with all three have made their biggest career contributions on special teams. Anderson has played in 14 career games and made four tackles, while Stovall has played in 20 games and recorded 12 tackles. All 16 tackles from Anderson and Stovall have come on special teams. Sullivan played in all 12 games last season and registered three tackles, including one on defense. • In 2018, Williams tied for the team lead in interceptions, forced fumbles and fumble recoveries. He became just the third player in the recorded history of Nebraska football to lead the Huskers in all three takeaway categories, joining Lavonte David (2011) and Fabian Washington (2002), both of whom were selected in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft following their Husker careers. • Nebraska added several talented members to its safety position, although none of the signees participated in spring ball. Highlighting the newcomers is Noa Pola-Gates, who was ranked among the nation’s top 120 overall recruits and top dozen safety prospects. NU also added a top 50 safety recruit in Myles Farmer.

NEWCOMERS BARRET PICKERING Nebraska returns both its starting punter (Isaac Armstrong) and placekicker (Barret Pickering) in 2019. Both had productive seasons as firstyear starters last fall. Armstrong emerged as the Huskers’ punter midway through last year, starting the final seven games. In the first punting action of his career, Armstrong averaged 43.6 yards per punt on 32 attempts, ranking second in the Big Ten Conference in punting average. Pickering returns as Nebraska’s starting place-kicker after winning the job as a true freshman in 2018. Pickering was impressive in his rookie year, connecting on 14-of-18 field goal attempts and 40-of-41 PAT tries while leading Nebraska in scoring with 82 points. Armstrong and Pickering also saw the first action of their careers as Nebraska’s kickoff specialist in 2018. Pickering ended the year as the Huskers’ primary kickoff specialist, and he had six touchbacks in 18 attempts. Armstrong had one kickoff last season. • Armstrong, an honorable-mention All-Big Ten choice, ranked second in the Big Ten by averaging 43.6 yards per punt in 2018, the ninthhighest average in Nebraska history. • Armstrong had only seven of his 32 punts returned, and two of those seven returns were muffed punts resulting in fumbles recovered by Nebraska. Opponents returned those seven punts for only 23 yards, an average of just 3.3 yards per return. • Pickering’s directional kicking ability also limited opponents in the kickoff return game. In 12 kickoff returns against Pickering - each in the final three games of the season - opponents averaged only 16.9 yards per return. Only once in Pickering’s 18 kickoffs last season did an opponent begin a drive past its own 28-yard line. • Together, Armstrong (3.3 yards per punt return) and Pickering (16.9 yards per kickoff returned) combined to allow just 11.9 yards per return in 2018. • Pickering made his final 10 field goals of 2018. Including PAT tries, Pickering has made 37 consecutive kicks entering the 2019 season. • By leading Nebraska with 82 points in 2018, Pickering became the first Husker freshman to lead the team in scoring since 2015 and just the fifth overall. He joined fellow kickers Jordan Congdon (2005), David Dyches (2003) and Kris Brown (1995) and I-back Calvin Jones (1991) as the only five Husker freshmen to lead the team in scoring. • Nebraska also added Michigan State transfer William Przystup to its punting unit. Przystup redshirted while playing in four games for the Spartans as a true freshman in 2018, averaging 40.6 yards per punt.

BIG TEN TIDBIT JD Spielman is the only active Big Ten player who has returned both a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown.

ISAAC ARMSTRONG In addition to bringing back their starting punter and place-kicker from last season, the Huskers also return their starting long snapper, holder and several return specialists. Senior Chase Urbach saw the first action of his career as Nebraska’s long snapper in 2018. He was inserted into the lineup in the third game of the season because of his coverage abilities on the Husker punt unit, and he finished with three tackles and a fumble recovery in addition to his flawless snapping. Junior Isaac Armstrong, who was an honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection as Nebraska’s starting punter in 2018, returns as the Huskers’ holder. He held for every extra-point and field-goal try in 2018, and Armstrong also had experience as a holder in 2017. In the return game, junior JD Spielman is Nebraska’s most experienced returner, although his return duties could be limited this year due to his importance to the Husker offense. Spielman has averaged 23.9 yards per return on 35 career kickoff returns with one touchdown, and he has also returned six punts for 104 yards and one touchdown. He is the only player on the roster who has returned a punt. Sophomore Maurice Washington had the most kickoff returns of any Husker last season, as he totaled 204 yards on his 13 returns, averaging 15.7 yards per return. Sophomore Jaylin Bradley, who redshirted last season, returned six kickoffs for 124 yards as a true freshman in 2017, averaging 20.7 yards per return. Senior Jaron Woodyard had four kickoff returns for 50 yards in his first season as a Husker in 2018. Senior Wyatt Mazour and junior Jack Stoll have also combined for five pooch kickoff returns in their careers. • Spielman, who has returned more kickoffs and punts than every other player on the Nebraska roster combined, has returned both a punt and kickoff for a touchdown. He is one of only eight players in Husker history to have both a punt and kickoff return touchdown. • Spielman has totaled 838 career kickoff return yards, which ranks 10th all-time at Nebraska. Only eight Huskers have ever recorded 1,000 career kickoff return yards. • In the coverage game, Nebraska brings back players who combined for 44 of the Huskers’ 54 special teams tackles a year ago, including Collin Miller and Jeramiah Stovall, who tied for the team lead with eight special teams tackles apiece. • Marquel Dismuke also returns after he blocked a punt for a safety against Illinois last season, NU’s first blocked punt in three seasons.

• 43 Years of Coaching Experience • 33 Years of Collegiate Experience Verduzco was a nominee for assistant coach of the year in 2018 after Adrian Martinez was the second true freshman in NCAA history to average 200 yards passing and 50 yards rushing. In 2017, UCF’s McKenzie Milton was second nationally in pass efficiency.

Nebraska’s defensive staff and their aggressive approach resulted in the Huskers dramatically increasing their total number of sacks, TFLs, pass breakups and turnovers from the 2017 season. At UCF, the staff allowed nearly two fewer touchdowns per game in their two-year tenure compared to the unit they inherited. The coaches also developed as many defensive NFL Draft picks in their two years as UCF had in the previous six years combined.

2016 BROYLES AWARD NOMINEE

COORDINATOR

ERIK CHINANDER • 17 Years of Coaching Experience • 4 Years as a Defensive Coordinator Nebraska improved in nearly every statistical category in Chinander’s first season. A former NFL assistant, Chinander earned a nomination for the Broyles Award at UCF in 2016, when his defense was the primary reason the Knights qualified for a bowl game one year after a winless campaign. The defense then preserved UCF’s perfect season in 2017 with a pair of game-clinching interceptions in the conference championship game and the Peach Bowl.

JOVAN DEWITT • OLB COACHING EXPERIENCE

• 21 Years of Coaching Experience • 9 Years as a Defensive Coordinator

COACHING NOTES

Dewitt helped each of NU’s outside linebackers post career highs in tackles in 2018. At UCF, Dewitt coached NFL Draft pick and conference defensive player of the year Shaquem Griffin, who had only nine career tackles before Dewitt’s arrival.

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. Two years ago, 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 2018-19, all 10 of Nebraska's ticketed sports where attendance is tracked ranked in the top 30 nationally in average attendance, including five sports that ranked in the top 10. This incredible interest and support enables Nebraska Athletics to invest in the student-athlete experience, as well as the overall gameday 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, 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

Eight 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

Nebraska’s study hall program is housed in the Scott Technology Center within the Student Life Complex. Student-athletes 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 neuropsychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined a studentathlete 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

New laptops are provided to all studentathletes for use during their academic career at Nebraska. The Herman Student Life Complex has printers and desktop computers available for student-athletes to use in the facility.

The Life Skills staff provides proactive education to all incoming and returning student-athletes designed to promote responsible decisionmaking, enhance one's personal brand and preparing student-athletes for life after sports. Interactive presentations are delivered during summer bridge sessions, orientations and year-byyear tiered development workshops.

INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS

Every Nebraska student-athlete is assigned a Life Skills staff member who will assist with personal and career development. The meetings help each student-athlete identify a career focus and implement a plan to increase career marketability.

CAREER COMMITMENT & NETWORKING

Nebraska Life Skills organizes an annual StudentAthlete Career Fair Networking Night and other career events aimed at connecting Huskers with companies desiring competitive, hard-working, accountable candidates. Athlete Network and UNL's Handshake Link provide opportunities to explore career opportunities across the country.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Nebraska student-athletes readily accept the role-model challenge, collectively giving more than 8,000 hours annually to impact thousands across the state of Nebraska. Outreach events include but are not limited to hospital visits, mentoring, school assemblies, statewide rallies, Make-A-Wish, School is Cool and Husker Heroes. During the 2018-19 academic year, 384 Husker student-athletes completed at least six service projects earning spot on the coveted Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.

LEADERSHIP

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

RECOGNITION

In 2018-19, 76 Husker Football student-athletes were named to both the Tom Osborne and Brook Berringer Citizenship teams for completing a minimum of six service projects in the calendar year. A host of other recognition opportunities at the institutional, Big Ten and NCAA levels that all reflect the high ideals, character and servant leadership nurtured through community involvement also are available.

POST-ELIGIBILITY OPPORTUNITIES

Since 2015, every student-athlete who letters and graduates will have a three-year window to benefit from one of three post-eligibility opportunities each valued at $7,500. Upon completion of required seminars, graduates can either study abroad, complete an internship or begin graduate school within the University of Nebraska-Lincoln or the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

The Life Skills program also is responsible for all Diversity and Inclusion initiatives for Husker Athletics. Since 2016, the Diversity and Inclusion Summit has reached all student-athletes and staff with programming emphasizing respect, acceptance and unity. Numerous other special events are coordinated in collaboration with campus departments highlighting the diversity within Husker Nation. N-Vest is a new mentoring program aimed at fostering successful transitions while connecting participating athletes with campus or community mentors to aid in personal and career development.

ATHLETIC MEDICINE

Nebraska features one of the most welltrained and highly skilled athletic medicine staffs in the country. Under the guidance of Director of Athletic Medicine Dr. Lonnie Albers, Head Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist Jerry Weber (pictured, bottom) and Football Head Athletic Trainer Mark Mayer, the 2019-20 Nebraska athletic medicine staff consists of five physicians, 13 full-time athletic trainers and eight graduate assistant athletic trainers. Nebraska’s medical facilities have long been among the nation’s best, and NU’s athletic medicine center within the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex will keep the Huskers on the front line of technology for decades to come. In addition to Nebraska’s North Stadium facility, Haymarket Park, the Bob Devaney Sports Center, Pinnacle Bank Arena and the Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex all feature athletic medicine areas. The Devaney Center’s Athletic Medicine facility underwent an extensive expansion as part of the Hendricks Training Complex addition in 2011. Nebraska uses advanced equipment, including two anti-gravity treadmills (pictured, top) to help athletes recondition after injuries. Nebraska’s Athletic Medicine Center also features a hydrotherapy area that includes a three-level laned pool, as well as hot and cold plunge tanks (pictured, middle). The Hydroworx 1000 Treadmill Pool is equipped with two cameras underwater for evaluation and assessment.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA

The University of Nebraska, celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2019, 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.

SCOTT FROST

CAREER HONORS

HEAD COACH 2ND SEASON 23-15 CAREER RECORD NEBRASKA (2018-19) • Head Coach • 4-8 Record (1 Season) UCF (2016-17) • Head Coach • 19-7 Record (2 Seasons) OREGON (2009-15) • Offensive Coordinator (2013-15) • Assistant Coach (WR) (2009-12) NORTHERN IOWA (2007-08) • Co-Defensive Coordinator (2008) • Assistant Coach (LB) (2007) KANSAS STATE (2006) • Graduate Assistant NEBRASKA (2002) • Graduate Assistant

Scott Frost's rapid rise up the coaching ranks culminated with the former Husker returning to his alma mater in December of 2017. Frost enters his second season as Nebraska's head coach in 2019 and his fourth season overall as a head coach. It took Frost little more than a decade to rise from a first-year FCS assistant to head coach of the sixth-winningest program in college football history. It also took Frost just two years to post his first undefeated season as a head coach, as Frost guided UCF to the greatest two-year turnaround in NCAA history. He inherited an 0-12 team, made a bowl game in his first season and then led the Knights to a 13-0 record in

his second and final season in 2017. In addition to his impressive success as a head coach - Frost was the consensus national coach of the year in 2017 - Frost was successful at every stop along his journey to becoming a head coach. His teams posted a 103-18 record in his 10 seasons as an assistant coach, with Frost coordinating both a top-10 defense and multiple top-10 offenses. Frost served as defensive coordinator for an FCS semifinalist, was Oregon's offensive coordinator in the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship Game and called the plays for Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota. The 44-year old Frost is a proven winner familiar with the Nebraska culture and tradition. He was a part of two national championship teams as a Husker player, coached in two national championship games as an assistant at Oregon and led UCF to a 13-0 record in 2017, when the Knights were the nation's only undefeated team. Frost has been a winner throughout his coaching career, winning seven conference championships in his 12 seasons as a full-time coach. Frost's teams have won 126 games in his dozen years, averaging nearly 11 wins per season. In addition to coaching in two national championship games, Frost has coached in five other New Year's Six bowl games in the last decade. His 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.

NEBRASKA (2018) Nebraska showed tremendous improvement throughout Frost's first season in Lincoln. Nebraska won four of its final six games and improved its scoring margin by nearly 28 points per game in the second half of the season compared to the first half. The Huskers finished with a 4-8 record, but Nebraska faced eight opponents who were ranked during the 2018 season. Five of Nebraska's losses were by five or fewer points, with the Huskers' final three losses coming in a three-point overtime loss at Northwestern, which finished with a No. 21 ranking, a five-point setback at No. 3 Ohio State and a three-point loss at No. 25 Iowa as time expired. Frost also lived up to his reputation as one of the best offensive playcallers in the country in 2018. Frost inherited an offensive unit that ranked 87th nationally in total offense in 2017. Led by true freshman quarterback Adrian Martinez, Nebraska ranked 25th nationally in total offense in 2018, the program’s first top-25 finish in the category since 2008.

UCF (2016-17) Frost went 19-7 in two seasons at UCF, helping turn an 0-12 team into a 13-0 squad in just two years. 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.

86

• 2017 Consensus National Coach of the Year (AP, Bear Bryant, FCA, Eddie Robinson, Home Depot) • 2017 American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year • 2014 Broyles Award Finalist (Nation's Top Assistant Coach) • Led the best two-year turnaround in NCAA history (0-12 to 13-0) 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 Club of Columbus, the Lombardi Award and FCA in addition to winning the Home Depot, Paul "Bear" Bryant and Eddie Robinson coach-of-theyear awards. 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.

ASSISTANT COACHING CAREER

OREGON: Frost took his first head coaching job at UCF after spending seven seasons as an offensive assistant at Oregon from 2009 to 2015, including serving as the Ducks' offensive coordinator in his final three seasons. 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 quarterback, Marcus Mariota, won the Heisman Trophy and was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. NORTHERN IOWA: 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 Panther linebackers in 2007 and helped UNI 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 final ranking both years. KANSAS STATE: Frost began his coaching career as a defensive graduate assistant at Kansas State in 2006, helping the Wildcats to a bowl game NEBRASKA: Frost's first coaching experience came during a brief stint on Nebraska's staff as a defensive graduate assistant in 2002, coaching the Huskers in the Independence Bowl.

PLAYING CAREER (STANFORD, NEBRASKA & NFL) Frost spent two seasons at Stanford - where he was a two-way starter at safety and quarterback - 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 NFL Draft and played six seasons as an NFL safety.

PERSONAL Frost earned his degree in finance from Nebraska in 1997. Scott and his wife Ashley have a son, Ryan James (RJ) and an infant daughter.

The Huskers held two of their final five opponents to single digits, including a 9-6 victory over Michigan State, where the defense led Nebraska to its first victory without scoring a touchdown since 1937. The 2018 season marked the first time in six years that the Huskers had held more than one opponent to fewer than 10 points. The Blackshirts improved by 26 spots in the national scoring defense rankings from the unit Chinander inherited, and NU saw dramatic improvements in its pass defense, sack totals and takeaways.

BEFORE NEBRASKA

UCF: Chinander led a dramatic defensive turnaround in his two seasons at UCF. He 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 in Orlando. A trademark of Chinander’s UCF defense was creating takeaways. The Knights forced 58 turnovers in 26 games under Chinander, ranking second nationally in takeaways in 2017 and 18th in 2016. The 58 takeaways over the 2016 and 2017 seasons combined ranked third nationally. 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 the first perfect season in school and American Athletic Conference history.

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 2010, UCF won 11 games, a Conference USA title and produced the program’s first bowl win and the school’s first national ranking. Two of Beckton’s defensive backs were first-team all-conference selections that season. 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 also coached the wide receivers at his alma mater for eight seasons from 1996 to 2003 in his first full-time collegiate coaching position. During that time he coached a slew of top wideouts, including three who went on to NFL careers. His most high-profile 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 played 13 seasons in the NFL and was a six-time Pro Bowler who has amassed 970 catches and 12,351 receiving yards. Beckton also received his start in the coaching profession as an offensive graduate assistant at UCF in 1992 and 1993. ORLANDO PREDATORS (AFL): 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, helping the team to a 9-7 record and a playoff berth. MAINLAND (FLA.) HIGH SCHOOL: Beckton also boasts experience in the prep ranks, as he was an assistant coach for Mainland (Fla.) High School from 1993 to 1996, where he also taught history. He helped Mainland to a pair of state championships and also worked with the basketball team, where he coached future NBA star Vince Carter.

PLAYING CAREER (UCF) Originally from Daytona Beach, Fla., Beckton was a star wide receiver at UCF from 1987 to 1990. He ended his career as the program’s all-time leader with 196 receptions and 2,493 receiving yards and was one of the first two football players to be enshrined in the UCF Athletics Hall of Fame. Against Texas Southern as a senior, Beckton scored a touchdown four different ways (passing, rushing, receiving and punt return).

PERSONAL Beckton earned his degree from UCF in liberal studies in 1993. He and his wife, Zorana, have one son, Sean Jr., and one daughter, Zaria. Sean Beckton Jr. is a performance intern with the Nebraska football team.

NEBRASKA (2018)

Dewitt helped a pair of upperclassmen post career-best seasons. An All-Big Ten performer, Luke Gifford totaled 62 tackles and led Nebraska with 13 TFLs and 5.5 sacks in 2018, after producing 47 tackles, six tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in his first three seasons combined. Gifford posted the most sacks by a Husker linebacker in 13 seasons and recorded the most TFLs by any Husker in four seasons. Tyrin Ferguson also put up career numbers in his junior season, despite being limited to eight games due to injury. Ferguson had 36 tackles, six tackles for loss and 1.0 sack under Dewitt's guidance in 2018 after totaling eight career tackles in his first two seasons combined. The play of Dewitt’s linebackers helped Nebraska nearly double its sack total from the 2017 season and record the program’s most turnovers (20) in four seasons. As special teams coordinator, Dewitt's units showed continued improvement throughout the season. Nebraska returned its first punt for a touchdown in four seasons in 2018 and blocked its first punt in three years, with the blocked punt resulting in a safety. Individually, JD Spielman ranked sixth nationally in punt return touchdowns, while Isaac Armstrong, who took over the Husker punting duties midway through the season, ranked second in the Big Ten and ninth in Nebraska history in punting average (43.6 yards per punt). Armstrong was an honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection while true freshman place-kicker Barret Pickering connected on 14-of-18 field goals and made his final 10 attempts of the season.

BEFORE NEBRASKA

UCF: In two seasons at UCF, Dewitt helped Frost and defensive coordinator Erik Chinander turn around the Knight defense. The UCF staff inherited a unit that ranked among the nation’s bottom 10 defenses in both scoring and total defense in 2015. But in just two seasons, Dewitt helped the Knights improve their scoring defense ranking by 65 spots, as UCF went from allowing 37.7 points per game in 2015 to 25.3 points per

Two of Dewitt’s four starting linebackers earned all-conference accolades in 2017, when the Knights posted the first perfect season in AAC history and were the only undefeated team in the country. Butkus Award candidate Shaquem Griffin was a first-team all-league selection and was the only player to be a unanimous All-AAC pick. Griffin went on to be a fifth-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft. In Dewitt’s first season at UCF in 2016, his linebacking corps played a lead role in the Knights ranking in the top 10 nationally in four defensive categories and in the top 25 in nine categories. UCF ranked second nationally in red zone defense, sixth in third-down defense, ninth in tackles for loss, 17th in sacks, 18th in turnovers forced and 24th in fumbles recovered. The defense was the key to UCF leading the nation with a six-win improvement from the 2015 to 2016 season. Griffin was named 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). Dewitt also made an impact as special teams coordinator. UCF ranked fourth nationally in kickoff returns in 2017 and sixth in punt returns.

FAU also set a school record with 32 sacks in 2013 and cornerback D’Joun Smith was second nationally in passes defended and third in interceptions. NORTHERN IOWA: Dewitt replaced Frost as Northern Iowa's defensive coordinator in 2009 and spent three seasons with the Panthers. UNI reached the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs twice and posted a 24-11 record in Dewitt’s three seasons. He coached linebacker LJ Fort to All-America honors and Fort was the 2011 FCS National Defensive Player of the Year. In Fort’s 2012 NFL debut, he became the first player since 1996 to record a sack and an interception in his first career NFL game. ST. NORBERT, NORTHERN MICHIGAN, FAIRMONT STATE & FORT SCOTT CC: Before moving up to the FCS level, Dewitt was the defensive coordinator at Division III St. Norbert for three seasons (2006-08).

TRAVIS FISHER DEFENSIVE BACKS 2ND SEASON Travis Fisher is in his second season on the Husker sideline in 2019, where he coaches the defensive backs. Fisher entered UCF (2015-17) the coaching ranks following a • Assistant Coach (DB) (2016-17) nine-year NFL career, and he • Assistant Coach (CB) (2015) is in the seventh season of his SOUTHEAST MISSOURI ST. (2014) coaching career, the last four of • Assistant Coach (CB) which have been as a member of Scott Frost's staff. UCF (2013) Fisher has been able to transfer • Defensive Quality Assistant his success and experience as a player into his coaching. In his short coaching career, Fisher's defensive backs have consistently held opposing passing attacks in check while showing a knack for interceptions. One year after allowing more than 275 passing yards per game, Fisher helped Nebraska hold five opponents to fewer than 200 passing yards in 2018 and two more under 215 passing yards. The Huskers ranked 34th nationally in pass efficiency defense, a 61-spot improvement from the unit Fisher inherited. Fisher led UCF to a No. 12 ranking in pass efficiency defense in 2016, and the Knights ranked second nationally with 20 interceptions in 2017. Fisher has excelled developing individual talent. Nine of Fisher's defensive backs have signed NFL contracts in the last three years alone. In just one year, Fisher turned junior college transfer Mike Hughes into an All-American and first-round NFL Draft pick. Hughes was selected with the 30th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, surpassing Fisher as the highestdrafted defensive player in UCF history. Fisher had been the highestdrafted defensive player in program history, as he was selected in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft following three seasons as a Knight. NEBRASKA (2018-19) • Assistant Coach (DB)

NEBRASKA (2018) Fisher made an instant impact on the Husker secondary in 2018, when Nebraska produced impressive results as a team and individually. NU ranked 34th nationally in pass efficiency defense in 2018, a 61-spot improvement from 2017, when the Huskers ranked 95th in that category. Sophomore Dicaprio Bootle shined under Fisher's guidance in 2018, earning All-Big Ten accolades. Bootle set career highs in every category and led the Big Ten and ranked ninth nationally with 15 pass breakups, the second-highest total in school history. At the opposite corner spot, Lamar Jackson posted his best season as a Husker, intercepting the first two passes of his career, breaking up a career-high seven passes and recording the first tackle for loss and forced fumble of his career. Jackson's interception against Troy was the first pick by a Husker cornerback in 21 games. Each of Nebraska's four primary safeties had at least one interception and one fumble forced or recovered in 2018. All told, Fisher's secondary recorded eight interceptions, forced 10 fumbles and had four fumble recoveries, helping Nebraska post its highest turnover total in four seasons. The secondary also combined for 41 pass breakups, helping Nebraska rank ninth in school history with 58 total pass breakups.

BEFORE NEBRASKA UCF: At his alma mater, Fisher helped Frost and defensive coordinator Erik 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 in 2016 and 2017. 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

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS • Ranked in the top 25 in interceptions twice in the last three years • Five all-conference defensive backs in the last three years • Nebraska ranked 34th nationally in pass efficiency defense in 2018 • All-Big Ten pick Dicaprio Bootle was 2nd in NU history with 15 PBUs • Coached two top-10 teams in four seasons at UCF • Helped UCF to a 13-0 record and No. 6 final ranking in 2017 • UCF ranked second nationally in interceptions in 2017 • UCF ranked fifth with 35 interceptions in 2016 & 2017 combined • All-American Mike Hughes was a 2018 first-round NFL Draft pick • Five UCF defensive backs signed NFL contracts in 2017 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 - who followed Fisher to Nebraska as a graduate transfer in 2018 - 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 UCF 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. He began his coaching career as a defensive quality assistant with UCF in 2013. SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE: Fisher began his coaching career as a defensive quality control assistant with UCF in 2013, when the Knights went 12-1 and finished with a No. 10 ranking after defeating Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl. Fisher also spent one season as the cornerbacks coach at Southeast Missouri State in 2014 before returning to Orlando.

PLAYING CAREER (UCF & NFL) As a player, Fisher totaled 130 tackles with the Knights from 1999 to 2001. He was selected in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft with the 64th overall pick by the St. Louis Rams. Fisher had been the highest drafted defensive back in UCF history before his pupil Hughes was selected in the first round with the 30th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Fisher went on to spend nine seasons in the NFL and led the NFL with two interception returns for touchdowns and 205 interception return yards in 2003.

NEBRASKA (1997; 2018) Held's running backs produced impressive results in 2018. The group helped Nebraska rush for more than 2,500 yards, as NU boasted the thirdmost improved rushing attack in the country, averaging 209.0 rushing yards per game, an improvement of more than 100 yards from 2017. Leading the way was All-Big Ten back Devine Ozigbo, who ran for 1,082 yards as a senior in 2018, becoming Nebraska's first 1,000-yard rusher since Doak Walker finalist Ameer Abdullah in 2014. Ozigbo, who was one of three Husker running backs to have a 100-yard rushing performance in 2018, had never even rushed for 500 yards in a season before Held's arrival. Ozigbo ranked 11th nationally with an average of 7.0 yards per carry in 2018, an impressive total considering he averaged 4.2 yards per carry in his first three seasons. Ozigbo also led Nebraska with 12 rushing touchdowns and 90.2 rushing yards per game. In addition to Ozigbo's success, true freshman Maurice Washington made an immediate impact under Held's leadership. Washington, who was third on the team in rushing yards (455) and fourth in receiving yards (221), had both a 100-yard rushing and 100-yard receiving game as a true freshman, becoming just the fourth running back in Husker history to have a 100-yard receiving game. He averaged 5.9 yards per carry and 9.2 yards per reception. Washington's 24 receptions were the second-highest total ever by any Nebraska true freshman, regardless of position. Held also began his coaching career at Nebraska as an undergraduate assistant coach in 1997. After being a part of two Husker national championship teams as a player, Held helped Nebraska to the 1997 national title with Scott Frost as the Huskers' starting quarterback.

With help from Held’s running backs, the Knights’ offense showed dramatic improvement, increasing their scoring production by nearly 35 points per game from 2015 to 2017 and their total offense output by more than 260 yards per game. Held’s running backs helped UCF rush for more than 2,500 yards during its perfect season and run to the American Athletic Conference title in 2017. Adrian Killins Jr. averaged 6.5 yards per carry en route to earning all-conference accolades as a sophomore.

BARRETT RUUD

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

INSIDE LINEBACKERS 2ND SEASON

NEBRASKA (2018-19) • Assistant Coach (ILB) UCF (2016-17) • Quality Control Administrator NEBRASKA (2014) • Defensive Intern

Barrett Ruud, the all-time leading tackler in Nebraska history, is in his second season as the Huskers' inside linebackers coach in 2019. Ruud entered the coaching ranks shortly after an eight-year NFL career. He is in his fifth season as a coach and has been a member of Scott Frost's staff in four of his five seasons,

including each of the last four years. Ruud spent his first four years in the profession in an off-field coaching role, but he was elevated to inside linebackers coach in January of 2018 on the first day that FBS programs were permitted to add a 10th full-time assistant coach. Ruud made a big impact in his first season on the Nebraska sideline, as his starting inside linebackers were the top two tacklers on the team, combining for 195 stops. Mohamed Barry had the top tackling season by a Husker linebacker in seven seasons in his first year working with Ruud, making 112 tackles, ranking second in the Big Ten in tackles per game and earning all-conference accolades. Dedrick Young II also had a career high in tackles in his lone season with Ruud as his position coach, which is worth noting considering Young ranks fifth at Nebraska in career tackles. It should come as no surprise that Ruud produced two prolific tacklers in his first season coaching Nebraska's inside linebackers. As a Husker linebacker himself, he recorded 432 tackles, 90 more than any other player in program history. Ruud then went on to make more than 650 tackles during his NFL career.

NEBRASKA (2014; 2018) In his first season as a full-time assistant coach in 2018, Ruud's inside linebackers helped Nebraska improve by 27 spots in the national scoring defense rankings from the 2017 season and by 61 spots in pass efficiency defense. Both of Ruud's starting inside linebackers put together impressive seasons in 2018, with Mohamed Barry leading the team with 112 tackles and Dedrick Young II ranking second with 83 stops. Barry enjoyed a breakout season under Ruud's tutelage en route to AllBig Ten honors. Barry recorded 112 tackles in 2018 after totaling just 44 stops in his first two seasons combined. He ranked second in the Big Ten and 38th nationally with an average of 9.3 tackles per game, and Barry's 112 tackles were the most by a Husker since All-American Lavonte David had 133 tackles in 2011. Barry had seven games with 10 or more tackles, becoming only the fifth Husker to have seven double-figure tackle efforts in one season and the first in eight years. Barry also set a career high with 11 tackles for loss and posted the first 2.0 sacks of his career. Young was nearly as productive in his only year under Ruud, setting career highs in what was one of the most impressive statistical careers by a Husker defender. Young totaled a career-high 83 tackles in 2018 to end his career with 284 tackles, the fifth-highest total in Nebraska history.

CAREER CAPSULE JoJo Domann was one of Nebraska’s most versatile defenders in 2018, and will look to make an impact with his play-making ability again this fall. The 6-1, 235-pound Domann began last season as a safety, but was moved to outside linebacker midway through the season where he made an immediate impact. This spring, Domann worked almost exclusively at outside linebacker and joins fifth-year seniors Alex Davis and Tyrin Ferguson as the most experienced players at the position. Domann’s athleticism allows him to be a disruptive pass rusher, and an effective run stopper who can also drop into pass coverage. The Colorado native earned playing time as a true freshman in 2016, before missing the 2017 season with a knee injury. He has also performed well in the classroom as a two-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll and a 2017 Academic All-Big Ten selection.

2018 (SOPHOMORE) Domann saw action at both safety and outside linebacker, starting two games at outside linebacker in November. He finished with a career-high 19 tackles while recording his first career tackle for loss and first career sack. Domann also tied for the team lead with two forced fumbles, and he recovered one fumble and broke up a pair of passes. Domann played in the season opener against Colorado and had a tackle on special teams but missed the next four games with an injury. He returned in a special teams role at Northwestern and saw action on special teams and defense in the win over Minnesota. Against BethuneCookman, Domann had one tackle, a forced fumble and the first pass breakup of his career. Domann then earned his first career start the next week at No. 8 Ohio State and had a career-high seven tackles - including a seven-yard sack - while forcing a fumble and breaking up a pass for the second straight game. Domann started again the next week against Illinois, and he made five tackles and recovered a fumble. In a win over Michigan State, Domann had four stops, his third straight game with at least four tackles.

tackles for loss, and averaged 43 yards per punt, made three field goals and connected on 34-of-37 extra-point tries. As a junior in 2014, Domann helped Pine Creek to a Class 4A state title and a 14-0 record. He had 49 receptions for 797 yards and 10 touchdowns, while also rushing for 205 yards and one touchdown. On defense, Domann recorded 61 tackles, while adding seven TFLs and seven interceptions. He made 59-of-60 PAT attempts and connected on 7-of-8 field goals and was an All-Colorado selection. As a sophomore, Domann had 44 tackles and earned first-team all-area honors. Domann was ranked as the top player in Colorado and among the top 350 players nationally by 247Sports, while Rivals listed him as the No. 2 prospect in the state. Domann, who was selected to play in the Semper Fi all-star game, also visited Colorado and had numerous offers.

PERSONAL JoJo was born on July 28, 1997, and is the son of Craig and Teddi Domann. He is majoring in advertising and public relations. Domann has volunteered his time with the Nebraska Football Road Race, School is Cool Week, the Nebraska 150 Charter Day event, Husker Heroes and local hospital visits.

CAREER CAPSULE Matt Farniok returns for his junior season in 2019, and is expected to team with fellow junior Brenden Jaimes to give Nebraska a pair of bookend offensive tackles. Farniok started all 12 games at right tackle in 2018 and held down the spot again during spring practice. Farniok is one of three returning offensive line starters who will be counted on to help the Husker offense continue to make strides in the second season of Coach Scott Frost’s offensive system. A versatile performer, Farniok started games at both tackle and guard as a redshirt freshman in 2017.

Nebraska totaled 606 yards of offense in a win over Illinois, setting a school record by gaining at least 450 yards in seven consecutive games.

2017 (REDSHIRT FRESHMAN) After redshirting in 2016, Farniok was a key contributor to the Husker offensive line in 2017, appearing in seven games and earning four starts. One of two Huskers to start at multiple positions on the offensive line in 2017, Farniok earned two starts at right tackle against Oregon and Northern Illinois and started two games at right guard against Northwestern and Minnesota. Farniok and the line helped the Huskers rank second in the Big Ten in passing (277.5 yards per game) while throwing for 3,330 yards, the fifth-highest total in Husker history.

Nebraska averaged 456.2 yards of total offense per game in 2018 - ranking 25th nationally in that category - while producing more than 560 yards of offense in four games. Jaimes and the offensive line helped Nebraska post its most yards (659 against Minnesota) and highest point total (54 against Illinois) in a Big Ten Conference game dating back to the Huskers joining the league in 2011. Jaimes specifically helped protect true freshman quarterback Adrian Martinez, who ranked 12th nationally in total offense per game and led all FBS freshmen nationally in that category while setting three Husker season records. Nebraska also produced its first 1,000-yard receiver in school history in 2018 and had its first 1,000-yard rusher since 2014. Jaimes and the offensive line helped Nebraska total 565 yards in the season opener against Colorado. After Nebraska posted back-to-back games with more than 500 yards of total offense against Purdue and No. 16 Wisconsin, Jaimes helped the Huskers total 606 yards of offense in a win against Illinois, when Nebraska set a school record with its seventh straight game producing at least 450 yards of total offense.

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. 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.

BEFORE NEBRASKA (LAKE TRAVIS HS) 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.

CAREER CAPSULE Adrian Martinez is set for his sophomore year at Nebraska after posting the most prolific season for a Husker freshman quarterback in 2018. The 6-2, 225-pound Martinez proved to be the perfect fit to operate Nebraska’s fast-paced offense, using his skills as a passer and runner to present challenges for opposing defenses. Martinez won the starting quarterback job in fall camp and became the first true freshman quarterback in school history to start the season opener. The California native went on to break nearly every Nebraska freshman passing and total offense records en route to being named a freshman All-American and honorable-mention All-Big Ten quarterback. Martinez also set a school record for any player by averaging better than 295 yards of total offense per game. Beyond his statistical accomplishments, Martinez quickly established himself as a team leader despite his youth. Nebraska coaches routinely noted Martinez’s football intelligence and his natural leadership qualities. Those qualities have carried over to the classroom, where Martinez has made the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in each of his first three semesters.

CAREER CAPSULE

CAREER CAPSULE Sophomore Caleb Tannor heads into the 2019 season as one of four outside linebackers with significant game experience. Tannor is expected to push for playing time at a position that also includes veteran seniors Alex Davis and Tyrin Ferguson and junior JoJo Domann. The 6-2 Tannor has good quickness off the edge, and has added 10 pounds of muscle during his time in Lincoln, giving him the necessary strength to be an effective pass rusher in the Big Ten Conference.

Sophomore Cam Taylor is a versatile defensive back who is expected to play a much larger role for the Husker defense in 2019. The Alabama native contributed on both defense and special teams as a true freshman last fall, and showed his play-making ability. This spring, the 6-0, 215-pound Taylor worked primarily at cornerback where Nebraska returns 2018 starters Lamar Jackson and Dicaprio Bootle. Taylor also figures into many of Nebraska sub packages where he can be utilized in a nickel or cornerback role.

He was named a first-team all-state selection in Class AAAAA, Georgia’s largest classification, by both the Georgia Sports Writers Association and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Tannor was tabbed as a four-star recruit by Rivals, ESPN and 247Sports. Rivals listed him as the No. 26 linebacker prospect in the country, while he came in at No. 19 among defensive ends in the 247Sports Composite rankings.

MAURICE WASHINGTON #28 RB l 6-1 l 190 l SO. l 1 LETTER

STOCKTON, CALIF. TRINITY (TEXAS) CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

CAREER CAPSULE Sophomore running back Maurice Washington flashed his play-making potential as a runner and receiver during the 2018 season. The 6-1, 190-pound Washington finished his freshman campaign as Nebraska’s third-leading rusher and fourth-leading receiver. This season, Washington is expected to play a more significant role in the backfield, as Nebraska replaces 1,000-yard rusher Devine Ozigbo. In addition to his talents as a runner and receiver out of the backfield, Washington’s speed and elusiveness makes him a candidate to play a major role on kickoff returns.

2018 (FRESHMAN) Washington earned immediate playing time as a true freshman, appearing in 11 games with starts against Ohio State and Iowa. He showed flashes of his big-play ability throughout the season, totaling 455 rushing yards and 221 receiving yards. Washington displayed his versatility by ranking third on the team in rushing yards and fourth in receiving yards, while having both a 100-yard rushing game and a 100-yard receiving game. He was also the Huskers’ top kickoff returner with 204 yards on 13 returns. Washington averaged 5.9 yards per carry and scored three rushing touchdowns, while adding one touchdown reception. His 24 receptions were the second-highest total by a true freshman at Nebraska, regardless of position. After debuting with 34 rushing yards and 16 receiving yards in the season opener against Colorado, Washington led Nebraska with 92 rushing yards on 14 carries against Troy. Washington was limited to only three carries in his Big Ten debut at No. 19 Michigan. He then sat out the Purdue game after missing the entire week of practice due to an illness. He was used in a variety of ways in Nebraska’s game at No. 16 Wisconsin, carrying the ball five times for 27 yards and adding four catches for 53 yards, setting then-career highs in receptions and receiving yards. He also took over duties as Nebraska’s kickoff returner and produced a 25yard return en route to a then-career-high 115 all-purpose yards against the Badgers. The next week at Northwestern, he returned a pair of kickoffs for 39 yards, including a career-long 27-yard return. Washington also had nine carries for 32 yards against the Wildcats, including scoring his first career touchdown on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter. Washington had a career game in the Huskers’ win over Minnesota, rushing 14 times for 109 yards and one score. While posting his first career 100-yard rushing game, Washington became Nebraska’s first true freshman running back to run for 100 yards since Imani Cross against Idaho State in 2012. Washington also totaled a career-high 142 all-purpose yards against the Gophers. The next week vs. BethuneCookman, Washington played only the first half and had six carries for 48 yards, including an eight-yard touchdown run. He then totaled 48 all-purpose yards at No. 8 Ohio State. Washington got off to a fast start against Illinois, carrying the ball three times for 67 yards in the first half before suffering an injury that kept him out for the remainder of the game. Washington had a career-long 49-yard run against the Illini in the first quarter. Washington returned from the injury and had 55 all-purpose yards in a defensive battle against Michigan State the next week, rushing three times for 19 yards, catching two passes for seven yards and returning a pair of kickoffs for 29 yards. He closed his freshman season with an impressive performance as a receiver at Iowa, catching seven passes for 102 yards, both of which were career highs. Washington became only the fourth Husker running back to have a 100-yard receiving game and the first since Marlon Lucky in 2007. He had a career-long 35-yard reception in the second quarter and hauled in a 28-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter for his first career receiving touchdown. Washington also added 30 kickoff return yards and nine rushing yards against the Hawkeyes to finish with 141 all-purpose yards, one shy of his career high.

BEFORE NEBRASKA (TRINITY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY) Washington was a big addition to Nebraska’s class, announcing his decision to join the Huskers on signing day in February. Washington was a three-time state champion at Trinity Christian Academy in Texas and was MVP of the 2018 Under Armour High School All-America Game. Washington carried the ball 123 times for 1,253 yards as a senior in 2017 for Coach Aveion Cason. Washington averaged 10.2 yards per carry and 113.9 rushing yards per game and scored 15 rushing touchdowns. He also excelled as a receiver out of the backfield, catching 26 passes for 582 yards and nine touchdowns, while averaging 22.4 yards per reception. Washington amassed 2,112 all-purpose yards – an average of 192.0 yards per game – and boasted an average gain of nearly 13 yards every time he touched the ball in 2017. Following his senior season, Washington competed in the Under Armour All-America Game, where he was named MVP. He shined in the all-star event, totaling 159 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. He set an Under Armour All-America Game record for touchdowns scored (3) and became the first player in the 10-year history of the game to post both a rushing and receiving touchdown. Washington was tabbed as a four-star prospect by ESPN and 247Sports. ESPN listed him as the No. 93 overall prospect in the country and as the nation’s fifth-best running back. Washington also visited Arizona State and had offers from many of the nation’s top programs, including Clemson, Ohio State, LSU, USC and Washington, among others.

PERSONAL Maurice is the son of Donna Chambers and Maurice Washington II. The elder Maurice Washington spent one season in the Oakland Raiders training camp as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2005. Maurice was born on Dec. 17, 1999. He has not declared a major. Washington volunteered with local hospital outreach visits.

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 1978-79. 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 threeyear 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.

129 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).

Cole coached Nebraska to an 85-0 win over Doane in the last game on the field that preceded the Nebraska Athletic Field. His final season as coach marked NU's first unshared Missouri Valley Conference title. His last game as coach was a 119-0 win over Haskell, which still ranks as the most points a Cornhusker team has ever scored.

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. 7 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 reached 200 (21 seasons) and 250 wins faster than any coach in college football history. 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.

ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION

BILL MOOS

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Honor the past. Live the present. Create the future. Nine simple words that carry impressive significance and undeniable responsibility. Words that Nebraska’s athletic director uses to lead his programs and set the tone for building champions in competition and in life. HUSKER ATHLETIC DIRECTORS William H. (Bill) Moos was 1928-1931 H.D. Gish named Nebraska’s Athletic 1932-1936 Dana X. Bible Director on Oct. 15, 2017, and fully assumed those 1937-1942 Lawrence McCeney responsibilities on Oct. 23, “Biff” Jones 2017. 1942-1947 A.J. Lewandowski Moos, who became the 1948-1953 George “Potsy” Clark 15th athletic director in 1954-1960 J.W. “Bill” Orwig the history of the storied 1961* Charles Miller & Cornhusker program, has Joseph Soshnik more than 25 years of 1962-1966 W.H. “Tippy” Dye experience as an athletic 1967-1992 Bob Devaney director at three Division 1993-2002 Bill Byrne I schools (Nebraska, 2003-2007 Steve Pederson Washington State, Oregon, 2007-2012 Tom Osborne Montana). More importantly, 2013-2017 Shawn Eichorst he owns an impressive 2017-pres. Bill Moos track record of success *Interim Co-Directors in building outstanding programs, developing long-term relationships and for doing what is best for his schools, its fans and most importantly, its student-athletes. In less than two full years at Nebraska, Moos has hired eight Husker coaches, including high-profile hires in football and men’s basketball. He drew universal praise for hiring national coach of the year Scott Frost as Nebraska’s head football coach in December of 2017. Fifteen months later, Moos was lauded for another hire that made a major national splash when he tabbed Fred Hoiberg to lead the Husker men’s basketball program. In addition to hiring Frost during his first season, Moos hired Mark Hankins to coach the men’s golf team and Sean Maymi to lead the men’s tennis program. Hankins led Nebraska to its best conference finish since 1999 in his first season, while Maymi won as many Big Ten matches in his first year as the Huskers had won in the previous two seasons combined. Moos hired four more coaches during his second year, including former Huskers to lead the women’s gymnastics (Heather Brink), rifle (Rachel Martin) and baseball (Will Bolt) programs. All three were among the most successful student-athletes in their sport’s history, as Brink and Martin were both individual NCAA champions at Nebraska, while Bolt was a member of two College World Series teams. In 2019, Moos also tabbed Lisa Johnson to lead the women’s golf team. Moos has hired first-class coaches who fit his championship culture, one that he continues to instill within the department. In his first year, Moos watched the volleyball team win its fifth national title and second in three seasons, while bowling finished third at the NCAA Championships and both the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams, the rifle squad and the wrestling team posted top-10 NCAA finishes. Four of those six teams finished in the top 10 again in Moos’ second season, highlighted by the volleyball team’s national runner-up finish and another third-place performance by the bowling team. Nebraska has also continued its excellence in the classroom, producing nine CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in Moos’ tenure, including four firstteam selections. The awards have increased Nebraska’s nation-leading total to 338 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans 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 all-inclusive 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 (199095), 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.

Out-of-state media can contact Vicki Capazo in the Communications Office at (402) 472-7769 for assistance. As a general rule, working space in the Nebraska Press Box is allotted on the following basis: (1) writers covering for same or next day publication; (2) radio personnel for broadcast originations; (3) sports editors of Nebraska daily newspapers; (4) press and TV working photographers; (5) official school student daily newspaper, one seat and/or sideline only; (6) approved special coverage as space allows. Visiting freelance and amateur photographers are not eligible for media credentials, except by approval of the Nebraska Communications Office.

MEDIA ACCESS

The game-day entrance to Memorial Stadium for the media is at the Media Gate entrance on street level on the west side of the stadium (main lobby of West Stadium). The working press area is on Level 6 (Don Bryant Media Facility) with the photo and television deck on Level 7. Level 3 (West Stadium Club) and Levels 4 and 5 (Skybox Suites) of the West Stadium and Level 7 of the North and East Stadium Suites are not open to the media or public. Single-game media credentials can be picked up at West Stadium Lobby Media Will Call on game days, beginning five hours prior to kickoff. Those picking up credentials must show a photo I.D., and all credential holders must receive a wristband to accompany their credential in order to be admitted into Memorial Stadium.

Shortly following the press conference, a complete video with captioning of the press conference will be made available to media members. A press conference transcript will also be available.

INTERVIEW POLICY

During the season, Coach Scott Frost is available in person for media interviews at the Monday news conference and on the field after practice on Thursday. Any other interviews with Coach Frost must be arranged through the Communications Office at least one day in advance. Nebraska players are available for interviews in person or by telephone at the Monday press conference or on Tuesday and Wednesday following practice. Player interviews can occasionally be set up for other times with at least one day advance notice to the Communications Office. All requests for player and coach interviews must go through the Communications Office. Assistant coaches will be available on Tuesday and Wednesday following practice. Additional post-practice interviews with players and coaches are prohibited from being streamed live online via apps such as Periscope. Complete

video/audio of the post-practice press conference will be made available to the media shortly after the conclusion of practice. No interviews are to be conducted in the locker room, training room, weight room or Nebraska Student Life Complex. As a general rule, freshmen and redshirt freshmen are not available for interviews until they have participated in a game.

DAILY PRACTICES

During the season, practices are normally conducted either in Memorial Stadium, in the Hawks Championship Center or on the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Fields northeast of the stadium. Practices will be held in the mornings. Practices are generally closed to the media and public. Media wishing to interview Nebraska players or coaches after practice should come to the designated location based on the practice site shortly before the end of practice. Photographers and videographers should contact Communications regarding any days and times that may be open to shoot practice. Media are asked to remain on the sideline or behind the fence at Memorial Stadium during this time. When on the Gass practice fields, media may not stand between the two practice fields during this time. No interviews are to be conducted during this time period and these segments may not be aired or streamed live on television or the internet. Live practice reports of any kind are not permitted from the practice site (social media, radio, blogs, etc.).

Interview requests, home and away, will be taken by Keith Mann and the Communications staff at the end of the third quarter. Non-requested players making significant plays in the fourth quarter will be added as needed. Nebraska players and coaches will not do interviews on the field after the game.

If media are planning to do live shots on the field after the game, they should make advance arrangements with the Communications Office, as well as contact Scott Guthrie in HuskerVision (402-472-4645).

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 (60) 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.

FACILITY USE RESTRICTIONS

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has an interest in protecting its facilities, property and reputation associated with its intercollegiate sports. Therefore, no person shall be permitted to access or use the arenas, facilities and other University of Nebraska intercollegiate athletic venues without first securing the permission of the Athletic Director or his/her designee. The only exception is an individual who records an image (e.g. photograph, videotape) for his/her non-commercial personal use. In no case shall any person be permitted to use these venues for the purposes of promoting the sale or manufacture of alcohol or tobacco or the promotion of any venture associated directly or indirectly with legal or illegal gaming or gambling.

MEDIA RIGHTS & RESTRICTIONS

Nebraska, its opponent and the respective conference designate the broadcast rights for all games. No pregame coverage shall be permitted for two hours before the game without the express permission of the University of Nebraska, the Big Ten Conference and the broadcast rights holder. Live postgame interviews may not be aired while the television rights holder is still on the air.

Any secondary use of any picture, photograph, audio description, video, film/tape, drawing or other description of a game taken or made by the accredited organization or individual to whom a credential has been issued (including, but not limited to use in delayed editorial or non-editorial advertising, sales promotion or merchandising) is prohibited without prior specific written approval of the Big Ten Conference. Nothing in the terms and conditions authorizes or allows a credential holder to violate any of the trademarks, copyright and other proprietary rights of the Big Ten Conference. A maximum of two minutes (2:00) of game video footage (without audio) may be utilized during the seven days following the conclusion of the game solely within regularly scheduled bona fide news programming distributed via television, including such television programming simulcast on the internet, wireless or other forms of media, but otherwise may not be distributed on the internet, wireless or other forms of media. This restriction also includes highlights of games while in progress (live or recorded). Use of video highlights in any other manner or any media distribution platform without the advanced written permission of the Big Ten Conference is expressly prohibited. Any agency wishing to use film or video in any other manner must obtain written permission from the Big Ten Conference. Local television stations may not originate a preor post-game show from inside Memorial Stadium. Any blogs, tweets, live chats, social media posts, etc. from the game site should not serve as a substitute for, or approximate, play-by-play accounts of a game in any medium. Non-originating radio stations or internet sites may not provide play-by-play coverage, live or delayed, but may provide short news updates provided such news update is one minute or less occurring no more than once per hour. No pregame coverage from the stadium shall be permitted for two hours before the game without the express permission of the University of Nebraska and the broadcast rights holder. Media are also prohibited from live coverage of any Nebraska press conference on any digital media platform or website, with the exception of live television coverage.

INTERNET/WIRELESS

Media will have use of the Internet in the Memorial Stadium press box. A limited number of Ethernet ports are available in the press seating area and the photographer’s area. Contact the Communications Office before the start of the season for information regarding cost of Ethernet ports at a specific seat. The Memorial Stadium press box is equipped with wireless internet. Media members using wireless frequencies at Memorial Stadium will be asked to register that equipment in advance. Media will be prompted to complete a frequency coordination form when they fill out their on-line credential application. (Note: This does not apply to those registering for wireless internet access). Any media sources that want to install a telephone in the media facility should contact Nebraska Telecommunications (402) 472-2000 at least two weeks before the game. Information such as statistics, postgame quotes, play-by-play, etc., will be available online at Huskers.com. If arrangements are made in advance, postgame notes, quotes and game statistics may be e-mailed.

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, 1895, then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders 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 bona fide, 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 revenuesharing 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

24 8

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 Student-Athlete 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 country-wide 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 1,800 events across all platforms each year. BTN is in almost 60 million homes in the U.S. and Canada via the nation’s major video providers and more than 300 additional video providers across the country. BTN is also available through the majority of OTT providers, and via the Fox Sports App, which delivers live and on-demand programming to computers, smartphones and tablets. BTN Plus streams hundreds of additional events each season. 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. On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten announced that Johns Hopkins University had been accepted as the conference’s first sport affiliate member. Johns Hopkins’ addition in men’s lacrosse gave the Big Ten six institutions sponsoring the sport, allowing the debut of men’s lacrosse as an official conference sport and building on the Big Ten’s tradition of broad-based sports competition. On June 17, 2015, the conference announced that Johns Hopkins was accepted as a sport affiliate member for women’s lacrosse beginning with the 2016-17 academic year. On March 23, 2016, the conference announced that Notre Dame will join the Big Ten for men’s ice hockey beginning with the 2017-18 academic year. 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 2,000 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel, and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten. On March 4, 2019, Delany announced he would conclude his term as commissioner in 2020 following a 30-year career with the conference. On June 4, 2019, the Big Ten Conference Council of Presidents and Chancellors introduced Kevin Warren as the sixth commissioner of the Big Ten Conference. Warren will start on September 16, 2019 providing an opportunity to transition alongside Delany who will officially step down on January 1, 2020. 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.


BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

The ninth annual Big Ten Football Championship Game will be played on Dec. 7, 2019, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The game will be televised to a national audience on FOX with kickoff set for 7 p.m. Central. The game will match the winners of the East and West divisions, and the winner of the contest will be presented the Stagg Championship Trophy. In 2011, the Big Ten Conference announced that Lucas Oil Stadium would host the first five football championship games through the 2015 season before the agreement was extended to 2021. During the first eight seasons, Wisconsin (2011, 2012), Michigan State (2013, 2015), Ohio State (2014, 2017, 2018) and Penn State (2016) have captured titles. Nebraska made its first title game appearance in 2012 and lost to Wisconsin. While a member of the Big 12 Conference, Nebraska participated in the league title game six times. Nebraska captured Big 12 crowns in 1997 and 1999, and was also the North Division representative in the game in 1996, 2006, 2009 and 2010.

2019 BIG TEN BOWL LINEUP

COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES COMMITMENT TO COMPLIANCE

On behalf of the University of Nebraska student-athletes, coaches and Athletic Department staff, I would like to express my appreciation for your continued support of our entire athletic program. The University of Nebraska is known for its loyal, passionate, and knowledgeable fans. It is this type of fervent support that not only assists Nebraska student-athletes in reaching their full potential on and off the playing field, but also draws the next generation of student-athletes to our campus. However, as a University of Nebraska booster, please remember that you are also required to know and follow NCAA regulations. Our coaches, student-athletes, and Athletic Department staff members are knowledgeable about NCAA regulations because they receive on-going education. But, to truly attain the excellence the University of Nebraska strives for, we also need our supporters to be educated about these same regulations. In turn, you will be assisting us with protecting the eligibility and well-being of our current and future student-athletes. Please review the information listed below, which includes some of the most important and frequently asked questions about NCAA regulations for boosters. Since this document cannot address everything you may need to know, I encourage you to contact our office with questions that may arise. Our staff can be reached at (402) 472-2042 or Compliance@ Huskers.com. Thank you and Go Huskers! Jamie Vaughn, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance

DEVANEY LEGACY SOCIETY

For 35 years, Bob Devaney was the driving force behind Nebraska Athletics. The endowment and planned giving program is proudly named in his honor. Members of the Devaney Legacy Society carry on the tradition by ensuring the long-term financial future and national prominence of Nebraska Athletics. By establishing a scholarship endowment, program endowment or planned gift with Nebraska Athletics, you will support our student-athletes by funding expenses directly related to education, personal development and sports performance.

PLANNED GIVING

Institutional Control It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA and the Big Ten Conference.

Compliance The University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.
