Breaking down the Big Ten non-con sked

By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 2 years ago

The formula for building a non-conference schedule is pretty standard: play one challenging game vs. a team from a Power 5 league (ACC, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC, Big Ten) and three games vs. foes from “lesser” conferences. And ideally, three of the four games are at home. But, as you can see, not all non-conference games are created equally. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Big Ten’s non-conference schedule. Power 5 foes: 17 Bowl teams: 24 FCS foes: 11 Foes by Power 5 league Pac-12: 5 (Cal, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Washington State) ACC: 4 (Pitt, Syracuse, Miami, Virginia Tech) Big

Big Ten Football Spelling Bee: Try to spell these names

By BTN.com staff, 2 years ago

With the Scripps National Spelling Bee taking place Thursday, it got us thinking about some of the most challenging names to spell in the Big Ten. One our out favorite parts of the college football season is introducing Big Ten fans to some of the best names to keep an eye on, and these are ones that you may have to break out the ol’ game program to spell correctly. Some of the names are hard to spell because of a unique spelling (think Maxx Williams), and some are hard because they’re just very unique names (think Ifeadi Odenigbo). Either way,

What's your Big Ten team's toughest non-con game?

By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 2 years ago

We’ve reached the right side of 100 when it comes to the countdown to the college football season. Three months from now, there will be football. Get excited! Until then, we’re previewing the season. It’s time for Tom Dienhart to single out your team’s toughest non-conference game. ILLINOIS A Sept. 13 trip to Washington will be a good test. The teams met last season in Chicago’s Soldier Field, with the Huskies taking a 34-24 victory to be a buzzkill to a 2-0 Illinois start. The Illini won just two times after the loss to U-Dub, killing the party mood along

Photo: Nebraska's Kenny Bell loses bet, popular hairdo

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 2 years ago

Nebraska receiver Kenny Bell lost a recent bet, and it cost him his recognizable hairdo. Yes, Bell’s afro is no more. The Husker posted a picture on Twitter of his new, less recognizable look. To the surprise of no one, the photo garnered plenty of attention. Even Bo Pelini chimed in with a funny tweet about Bell’s new look, saying “Gone but not fro-gotten.” See a picture of the new hairdo and Pelini’s tweet in this post. [ MORE: Like this post?

Dienhart: Nebraska's 2014 schedule analysis

By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 2 years ago

Hopes are high in Lincoln for the program’s first conference championship since 1999. The defense looks like it could be the strongest part of Bo Pelini’s seventh Nebraska team. The front seven looks especially stout. The offense has some great building blocks, paced by a nice collection of running backs and receivers. Yes, the o-line needs to develop and Tommy Armstrong needs to take the next step in his development as a quarterback. Still, there’s a lot to like about the 2014 Huskers. The schedule will make Nebraska’s quest for a title difficult. There are three tough Big Ten road

Where B1G teams rank in Preseason Power Index

By Sean Merriman, BTN.com web editor, 2 years ago

Now that spring football is in the books, we are slowly starting to see preseason rankings trickle in for the 2014 season. Our friends over at ESPN recently created an automated set of preseason ratings for every team. The ratings are designed to predict how strong each team will be in the upcoming season. This is calculated using the Football Power Index, which according to ESPN is a predictive measure of team strength that uses the EPA breakdowns that correlate most with future results. The efficiency rankings are the point contributions for the Off/Def/Special Teams units to the team’s opponent-adjusted

Tommy Armstrong mentored by Brett Favre

By Sean Merriman, BTN.com web editor, 2 years ago

One of the biggest questions facing Nebraska’s football team this season is who will replace Taylor Martinez? It looks like the leading candidate right now is sophomore Tommy Armstrong Jr., who played in nine games last season as a redshirt freshman following an early-season injury to Martinez. It looks like Armstrong is doing everything in his power to get the upper hand on Nebraska’s quarterback competition, including receiving tips from future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre. Armstrong tweeted out the following message on his Twitter account and attached a photo with Favre on Instagram. Blessed to workout with
