2015 HUSKER OFFENSEThe 2015 Husker offense will feature a new look in the first year under Head Coach Mike Riley and Offensive Coordinator Danny Langsdorf. Nebraska has the talent across the board to continue the versatility Riley’s offenses have exhibited throughout his coaching career.

Quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. returns after starting the past two seasons. Armstrong has posted 16 victories as the Husker starter and has shown outstanding leadership skills, while possessing the ability to hurt defenses through the air and on the ground. Armstrong accumulated 3,400 yards of total offense as a sophomore, the third-best single-season total in Nebraska history.

A talented group of receivers provide Armstrong with an array of targets in the passing game. Junior Jordan Westerkamp caught 44 passes in 2014, including five touchdowns and has made a habit of making the difficult catches look routine. Sophomore De’Mornay Pierson-El was a dynamic playmaker in his freshman campaign last fall. In addition to being the nation’s top punt returner, Pierson-El showed late in the season that he can be a regular threat as a receiver.

A group of talented backs will be called on to replace All-American Ameer Abdullah. Senior Imani Cross and junior Terrell Newby are the most experienced of the Husker backs and have extensive playing experience in their Nebraska careers.

Up front, senior Alex Lewis is expected to line up at left tackle and anchor the offensive line. Fellow seniors Zach Sterup, Ryne Reeves, Givens Price and Chongo Kondolo are also game tested and ready to lead the offensive line in 2015.

HIGHLIGHTING THE HUSKER OFFENSE· Tommy Armstrong Jr. accounted for 3,400 yards of total offense in his sophomore season, including four games with more than 300 yards of total

offense. He finished the season with a Nebraska bowl-record 422 yards of total offense in the Holiday Bowl.

· Senior I-back Imani Cross has 22 career rushing touchdowns, reaching the end zone on one of every 10 carries over the last 3 seasons.

· Nebraska has had at least one 1,000-yard rusher each of the past six seasons, the longest streak for the Huskers since having a 1,000-yard rusher seven straight years from 1979 to 1985.

· Sophomore place-kicker Drew Brown set a Nebraska freshman scoring record with 101 points in 2014, including a perfect season on PAT attempts.

2015 HUSKER DEFENSEThe Nebraska Blackshirts are poised to continue their long-standing tradition of dominance in the 2015 season. The foundation of the 2015 edition of the Blackshirts should be a powerful front four and a deep and talented secondary.

Junior defensive tackle Maliek Collins earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore in 2014, and appears poised to contend for bigger honors this fall. Fellow junior Vincent Valentine combines with Collins to give Nebraska one of the nation’s top defensive tackle tandems. Defensive ends Greg McMullen and Jack Gangwish each have extensive playing experience and help anchor the front four.

In the secondary, junior safety Nate Gerry is poised to continue to progress after a breakout sophomore campaign when he intercepted a team-leading five passes, all in Big Ten play. Gerry is joined in the secondary by senior cornerback Daniel Davie, who started every game last fall and should again play a key role in a stingy pass defense. Gerry and Davie will provide leadership to a secondary that includes an impressive collection of young talent and athleticism.

Lincoln native Josh Banderas is expected to hold down the middle of the Nebraska defense at MIKE linebacker. Banderas is the most veteran player in a young group of linebackers that should continue to progress throughout the 2015 campaign.

The other standout “defensive” player for the 2015 Huskers should be junior punter Sam Foltz. The Nebraska native ranked among the Big Ten’s top punters last fall and has regularly shown the ability to flip field position for Nebraska.

HIGHLIGHTING THE HUSKER DEFENSE· Nebraska returns six defensive players with at least 10 career starts.

· Defensive tackle Maliek Collins is among the Big Ten’s top returning players in tackles for loss (14) and sacks (4.5). Collins had nine of his TFL in the season’s final six games.

· Safety Nate Gerry intercepted five passes during his sophomore season, all in conference play. Gerry had a takeaway in six of eight Big Ten games and also returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown.

· Nebraska forced at least three turnovers in five games in 2014.

· Nebraska ranked fifth nationally in third-down defensive percentage in 2014, allowing opponents to convert only 30.1% of their third-down attempts into first downs.

DEFENSIVE DOMINANCEOne 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, and new Head Coach Mike Riley and defensive coordinator Mark Banker have readily embraced the long-standing tradition.

From left to right: Grant Wistrom, Ndamukong Suh, Barrett Ruud and Lavonte David


BLACKSHIRT DOMINANCE"We have a great (defensive) tradition at Nebraska. As a former Blackshirt, it is basically the sense of urgency you play with. That is what it means to be a Blackshirt. It is being able to trust the guy next to you. It is 11 guys getting to the football.” Trev Alberts, 1993 All-American and Butkus Award Winner

· 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.

BLACKSHIRTS IN THE NFL· Seventeen former Nebraska Blackshirts were on NFL rosters as of June 20, 2015.

· Nebraska has had 17 defensive linemen, 13 linebackers and 20 defensive backs drafted since 1997.

· Twenty-one Blackshirts have been taken in the first four rounds of the NFL Draft since 2000.

· Recent Blackshirts Ndamukong Suh and Lavonte David have earned All-Pro honors during their respective NFL careers.

· Suh was the second overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft and signed the richest contract ever for a defensive player in March of 2015.

BANKER DEFENSE“To be a part of that Blackshirt unit you have to do things at a certain level to carry that distinction and have that responsibility. As players enter your program they should all aspire to be a part of that excellence and want that responsibility to continue that tradition.” - Mark Banker, Defensive Coordinator

First-year defensive coordinator Mark Banker has a history of success while working on Mike Riley’s defensive staff at Oregon State.

· 70 defensive players at Oregon State earned all-conference honors under Banker’s direction

· The 2007 Beaver defense led the nation in rushing defense, while ranking fourth in sacks and eighth in total defense

· 19 Oregon State players coached by Banker have been chosen in the NFL Draft since 2004, including five Beaver defenders taken in the 2009 draft

strength and conditioning. Nebraska was the first NCAA school to have a paid strength and conditioning coach, the first to lift

weights in-season, the first to hold an official summer conditioning class for student-athletes and the first to offer a degree for strength coaching.

Husker Power is a nationally recognized brand and a source of pride for Nebraska Football.Nebraska football student-athletes train throughout the year in the Ndamukong Suh Strength and

Conditioning Center, one of the nation’s finest facilities of its kind. Built in 2006, the facility is one of the largest in the country and is a unique, state-of-the-art complex.

The facility gives Husker student-athletes a technological and strategic advantage by combining state-of-the-art strength training innovation with top-notch coaching and programming. The Ndamukong Suh Strength and Conditioning Center contains a field turf agility track adjacent to the strength training equipment allowing for high impact strength programming on different dynamic surfaces.

The strength and conditioning staff consists of five full-time staff members, led by Head Football Strength Coach Mark Philipp. The staff works with Husker football student-athletes teaching proper strength and conditioning techniques, allowing them to reach their maximum potential.

The latest upgrade to the Ndamukong Suh Strength and Conditioning Center took place in the summer of 2015. The facelift nearly doubled the number of lifting platforms and included new equipment and new apparel. The layout

changes allow the strength staff to redesign and implement a program that accommodates each individual athlete with the most beneficial exercises in an efficient period of time.

Components considered in the new weight room layout included accommodating a larger number of athletes per group and the time and space required to enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury.

* Permanently retired numbers

All-TiMe gReATSFollowing 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.For 55 years, Novak was the only NU player to have the distinction of a retired number. In 2004, that finally changed as College and Pro Football Hall of Famer Bob Brown’s No. 64

joined Novak’s hallowed No. 60 among the only two permanently retired numbers at Nebraska. All major national award winners at Nebraska automatically have their jerseys retired, but their numbers will still be available to active Huskers.Nebraska’s group of 17 players with retired jerseys certainly ranks among the best in the nation. Huskers who have earned the distinction of jersey retirement include three Heisman

Trophy winners (Johnny Rodgers, Mike Rozier, Eric Crouch), eight Outland Trophy winners with nine awards (Larry Jacobson, Rich Glover, Dave Rimington (2), Dean Steinkuhler, Will Shields, Zach Wiegert, Aaron Taylor, Ndamukong Suh), five Lombardi Award winners (Rich Glover, Dave Rimington, Dean Steinkuhler, Grant Wistrom, Ndamukong Suh), one Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner (Tommie Frazier), one Davey O’Brien Award winner (Eric Crouch), one Butkus Award winner (Trev Alberts) one Rimington Trophy winner (Dominic Raiola), one Bednarik Award Winner (Ndamukong Suh) and one Nagurski trophy (Ndamukong Suh). Nebraska football has 17 players who have been honored with the distinction of having their jerseys retired. Those players have combined for 23 All-America awards and eight are members of the College Football Hall of Fame.

1993 Butkus Award winner Trev Alberts is one of 17 players with their jersey retired at Nebraska. Alberts is the most recent Husker selected to the College Football Hall of Fame and will be inducted in December.

Nebraska players and coaches are routinely in the local, regional and national media spotlight. The Huskers are covered by one of the nation’s largest media corps on a daily basis.

neBRASkA in The SPoTlighT· As part of the Big Ten media agreements, all Nebraska football games are televised nationally.· BTN is currently in more than 60 million homes nationwide, with more 70 percent of the

viewers outside of the Big Ten Conference footprint. BTN’s coverage of Big Ten football includes nearly 50 live games annually, regular studio shows and original programming.

· BTN placed second only to ESPN in college football viewership in 2014. · The Big Ten Conference also has expansive television deals with ESPN and ABC, giving

the conference unmatched national exposure. · The Huskers’ matchup with USC in the 2014 Holiday Bowl garnered the best television

ratings for the Holiday Bowl since 2005. · Nebraska appeared in the first ever television broadcast of a college game by NBC on

Sept. 19, 1953. Since then, Nebraska has appeared on TV more than 350 times. · Nebraska football games can be heard statewide on the Husker Sports Network, and

nationally on Huskers.com, SiriusXM and the TuneIn radio app.· The Husker football program is one of the most followed college sports programs on

the web and social media. Approximately 4 million fans per month visit Huskers.com during football season and Nebraska has nearly 600,000 likes on Facebook, and more than 200,000 on Twitter.

Head Coach Mike Riley’s introductory press conference was attended by nearly 100 media members and shown nationally on BTN. Since his hiring, Riley has had appearances on ESPN during the Holiday Bowl, took part in ESPN’s coverage of the College Football Playoff from the network’s studios in Connecticut and made several appearances on BTN.

Husker players are featured prominently throughout the season through local, regional and national media outlets.

MeDiA ATTenTion


“The Nebraska brand has developed in such a way as other names like Oklahoma, Texas, Southern Cal. It’s one of those programs that when you put them up against a quality opponent, it’s a national game.”Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany

HUSKERS.COM



gAMe DAY ATMoSPheReGame days at Nebraska are unlike any in college football. Fans line the streets of Lincoln waiting to enter the “Sea of Red,” while the marching band parades up Stadium Drive as

thousands of red-clad fans look on. The Huskers emerge from the famous “Tunnel Walk” to the sound of “Sirius” and the fans stay at a frenzied pitch until the final play of the game when they graciously cheer for the opposing players as they exit the field.

The Tunnel Walk, which began in 1994, has become an integral part of Memorial Stadium’s game-day experience. It was created as a way for fans to share in the excitement of the team emerging from the locker room, something only a few could do before HuskerVision’s cameras and big screens came to Memorial Stadium. The sounds of the Alan Parsons Project’s “Sirius,” and the roar of more than 90,000 frenzied fans rock the stadium as the Huskers burst through the locker room doors and into the tunnel on their way to the Memorial Stadium FieldTurf. For as long as anyone can remember, the Huskers have touched a lucky horseshoe on their way from the locker room to the field. The horseshoe hangs above the door as Nebraska leaves the North Stadium.

“There are no words to describe the feeling of making a Tunnel Walk and winning a game in Memorial Stadium. The Tunnel Walk is the single-most exciting part of our games. The anticipation leading up to a football game and that fire you feel in your belly.”Kenny Bell, Nebraska’s all-time leading receiver


“I’ll tell you the biggest difference between the state of Nebraska and any other state in football. I think the fan’s loyalty, the noise factor that’s on the field and the Sea of Red when you look out.”Brent Musburger, ESPN/ABC Commentator

“There is nothing like playing at Memorial Stadium. I don’t care what other people say. Everything combined, the atmosphere, the whole town is here. When you are walking through there, you have tears in your eyes because of the sheer adrenaline rush. You can’t control it and your eyes start watering and you start shaking.”Spencer Long, Nebraska All-American and Academic All-American


“I think Nebraska fans are the greatest fans in college football, no question in my mind. The enthusiasm here is as good as any place, but the integrity here of the fans is the best in America.”Lee Corso, ESPN College Football Analyst

DeVoTeD fAnS“No fan base has more passion or dedication. It is ALWAYS about the football at Nebraska. And that’s what makes this place a college football Holy Land.”Tom Dienhart, Big Ten Network

Nebraska fans are perhaps the most loyal in college football. The entire state follows the Huskers, along with a truly national fan base. Cornhusker fans have packed Memorial Stadium for every home game since 1962. In 2009, Nebraska celebrated its 300th consecutive home sellout, a NCAA record streak that stands at 340 games entering the 2015 season.

Nebraska has ranked in the top 10 nationally in home attendance the past two seasons, averaging better than 90,000 fans per game in both 2013 and 2014. In 2014, Nebraska had season ticket holders from 49 of 50 states.

Husker fans bring their show on the road as well. Red-clad Nebraska fans have traveled in the tens of thousands to bowl games and road games for decades. Opposing stadiums throughout the Big Ten began to see the invasion of Big Red fans in 2011.

Every entrance at Memorial Stadium welcomes Nebraska fans with the following phrase: “Through these gates pass the Greatest Fans in College Football.”

“Loyalty. Motivation. Willingness to Sacrifice.”Tom Osborne, Hall of Fame Coach from 1973 to 1997 and Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 2007 to 2012, has used

those words to describe Nebraska’s walk-on program. The tradition of the Cornhusker walk-on program is one-of-a-kind in college football. Hundreds of young men

from towns in all corners of the state have come to Nebraska with big dreams. Many players have excelled beyond their biggest dreams. Head Coach Mike Riley has embraced the Nebraska walk-on tradition since day one as the Cornhuskers’ coach, and he also relied on walk-ons during his tenure at Oregon State.

Family. It is a word that is synonymous with Nebraska Football. No one takes more pride in the Nebraska football program than its former players.Head Coach Mike Riley and his staff have connected with Nebraska’s former players in their short time leading the Husker program. The family atmosphere of Nebraska football brings together players from all across the United States.

Cornhusker Family· The 2015 Nebraska roster features players from 26 states, plus Canada, including 61 homegrown Huskers. The Husker roster includes at least five players from six additional states.

· Nebraska has signed players from 25 states and Canada in its last four recruiting classes.

· Nebraska’s 96 football All-Americans hail from 24 states and the District of Columbia, with homegrown Huskers accounting for 38 All-America awards.

· In its 125-year history, Nebraska letterwinners come from 45 states, Washington D.C. and six foreign countries (Australia, Canada, Finland, South Korea, Germany and Mexico).

“There is no in-state player, no out-of-state player, no walk-on player and no scholarship player. We were all equals when we got here, and we all came here for the same reason – to contribute to something much bigger than all of us. At Nebraska, all lettermen are the same. We’re hundreds of guys who paid the price to be part of one of the greatest traditions in all of college football. And the greatest honor any of us ever achieved was being able to say: ‘I played for Nebraska!’”Damon Benning, Nebraska I-Back, 1993-96

The sTudenT-aThleTe eXPerienCeNebraska Athletics is one of the few self-sustaining intercollegiate athletic programs in the country. In the 2014-15 fiscal year, Nebraska drew more than 1.3 million fans across all

sports through the gates of our world-class facilities. This incredible interest and support enables Nebraska Athletics to invest in the student-athlete experience, as well as the overall game-day experience.

Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary for student-athletes to become successful in Academics, Athletics and Life. Nebraska will continue to strategically plan for avenues to strengthen the resources to support more than 600 Husker student-athletes.

liFe skillsThe Husker Life Skills program allows student-athletes to continue their development and impact lives in the community. In 2014-15, Husker student-athletes, such as Zack Darlington, combined for more than 6,500 hours in the community, making an impact on thousands of Nebraskans across the state.

sTrengThNebraska’s strength and conditioning has long been at the forefront of college athletics. Under the direction of Boyd Epley, Nebraska has a staff of 12 strength coaches, including football strength coach Mark Philipp, who creates personalized strength and conditioning programs for Husker student-athletes.

In August of 2014, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors restructured how member institutions and conferences, including the Big Ten, govern themselves. Nebraska has a great history and tradition of providing first-class benefits and support to our student-athletes like no other. However, this change in governance, and subsequent legislation, has paved the way for Nebraska to enhance the benefits and experiences for our student-athletes even further. A few examples of these enhanced benefits are:· All scholarship student-athletes across all sports

will have their scholarship calculated based on the full cost of attendance.

· Each student-athlete will receive an Apple MacBook Air laptop computer to enhance their learning opportunities (pictured top left).

· 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, Nutrition and Dining Services (Training Table).

· Nebraska created the first-known post-eligibility benefit program, where each student-athlete, who has graduated and exhausted their athletic eligibility, will have the opportunity to pursue with our support an internship, participate in a study abroad program or attend graduate school.



In April, Nebraska celebrated 25 years of the Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet with “A Night at the Lied” that became the Husker version of the Emmys, Oscars and ESPYs rolled into one. More than 1,400 attended the celebration that was capped with Nebraska Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst (above left) and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany (above right) presenting the Student-Athlete-of-the-Year awards and Big Ten Medals of Honor to Jessie DeZiel (above second from left) and John Welk (above third from left). DeZiel, a senior from Rogers, Minn., was a nine-time All-American for the Nebraska women’s gymnastics team. Welk, a senior from Bismarck, N.D., was a three-time All-American sprinter for the track and field team. Welk was also the 2015 CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year in men’s track and field.

aCademiC suCCessNebraska increased its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-America awards to 320, adding six Huskers in 2014-15. Junior guard Shavon Shields (Olathe, Kan., Biological

Sciences, 3.767 GPA) became NU’s first-ever first-team Academic All-American in men’s basketball. Senior sprinter John Welk (Bismarck, N.D., Nutrition Science, 3.996 GPA), who was Nebraska’s Male Student-Athlete of the Year, led three first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans for the men’s track and field program. Welk, who was honored as the Academic All-American of the Year in men’s track and field, was joined by Levi Gipson (Lincoln, Neb., Nutrition, Exercise and Health Science, 3.950 GPA) and Drew Wiseman (Bismarck, N.D., Electrical Engineering, 3.959 GPA). Junior gymnast Ethan Lottman (Omaha, Neb., Art, 3.995 GPA) earned second-team Academic All-America status. Sophomore outfielder Ryan Boldt (Red Wing, Minn., Nutrition Science, 3.785 GPA) was a third-team Academic All-American in baseball.

In 2014-15, Lottman was one of three Huskers to win the NCAA Elite 89 Award, presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 89 championship events. Nebraska’s other two recipients of the prestigious award were Wiseman and senior thrower Will Lohman (Chewelah, Wash., Criminology and Criminal Justice, 4.000 GPA) who claimed the honors in indoor and outdoor men’s track and field, respectively.

Graduation is the ultimate achievement, and 118 Husker student-athletes earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in three commencement exercises at Pinnacle Bank Arena in 2014-15. At the conclusion of the academic year, Nebraska student-athletes posted an impressive 3.155 cumulative GPA.

Junior forward Shavon Shields (Men’s Basketball) became the first Husker men’s basketball player to earn first-team Academic All-America honors as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Shields, who is also a six-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll, was one of six Husker student-athletes to capture CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in 2014-15, pushing Nebraska’s nation-leading total to 320 Academic All-Americans all time across all sports.

In 2014-15, 118 Huskers earned their college degrees – the ultimate goal of all student-athletes, including senior Ameer Abdullah (pictured above). Abdullah became the third Husker in history and the first male across Nebraska’s sports to earn a prestigious Senior CLASS Award. Chosen by a nationwide vote of Football Bowl Subdivision coaches, national media and fans, the award is given annually to the sport’s most outstanding senior student-athlete. The award recognizes achievements in four areas of excellence – classroom, community, character and competition. Previous Husker Senior CLASS Award winners were Kelsey Griffin (Women’s Basketball, 2010) and Gina Mancuso (Volleyball, 2012).

The NCAA established the Elite 89 Award to recognize individuals who reach the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level while also achieving the highest academic standard among their peers. Junior Ethan Lottman (Men’s Gymnastics) captured the award at the 2015 NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships, before adding CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. Sophomore sprinter/hurdler Drew Wiseman (Indoor Track, pictured) and senior thrower Will Lohman (Outdoor Track) swept the honors for the men’s track and field team in 2015.

The NAPL team draws together researchers with diverse areas of expertise, including biomechanics, computer sciences, endocrinology, engineering, ergonomics, exercise physiology, nutrition, physical rehabilitation, psychology, sports science and vision. Researchers collaborate with Nebraska Athletics coaches and staff, as well as colleagues from around the world to address areas that are critical to athletes and society.

One of the most respected coaches in football, Mike Riley was named the head coach of the Nebraska football program on Dec. 4.

“It is truly an honor to join the University of Nebraska family. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to coach at one of the nation’s most storied football programs and I can’t wait to get started,” Riley said at the time of his hiring. “My sincere thanks to Chancellor (Harvey) Perlman and Shawn Eichorst for their confidence in me, and I look forward to building upon the great history and tradition.”

Shawn Eichorst, Nebraska’s Director of Athletics, said Riley is the perfect fit to lead the Nebraska program.

“There was one coach who fit all the characteristics that I was seeking to lead our tradition-rich football program,” Eichorst said. “Mike Riley has a proven record of success, a sound approach to football and teaching, an understanding of the educational mission of our university and the integrity and values that we cherish at Nebraska. I have no doubt that Mike and his tremendous staff will lead our student-athletes to win Big Ten titles and compete for national championships in the years ahead.”

Riley took over the Husker football program following 12 seasons as the head coach at Oregon State, and 14 seasons overall in Corvallis. Riley also has experience at the highest level of football, serving as the head coach of the San Diego Chargers for three seasons, while also spending time in the professional ranks with the Canadian Football League and the World Football League.

Since arriving in Lincoln, Riley has shown the characteristics that have made him a winner throughout his coaching career. Riley has surrounded himself with a veteran coaching staff that has had success at all levels of football and recruited all parts of the country.

Riley has embraced the traditions of Nebraska football, while reaching out to Cornhusker faithful in all parts of Nebraska and around the country. Riley has also connected with former Husker players and coaches in his short time in Lincoln, while maintaining his focus on the young men currently in the Husker program.

Despite taking the Nebraska job less than two months prior to National Signing Day, Riley and his staff constructed a strong 2015 group of recruits. The staff showed their diversity on the recruiting trail by bringing players from 13 states into the program.

In his time at Oregon State, Riley built the Beaver program into a consistent winner and regular contender in the Pac-12 Conference. Riley had a 93-80 overall record as the Beavers’ head coach. Riley began the rejuvenation of the Oregon State program in his two-year stint in 1997 and 1998. He returned to Corvallis and led the Beavers to unprecedented heights in the past 12 years.

Riley has a tradition of being one of the most professional and nicest men in the coaching profession, but his acumen also speaks volumes. Riley owns the most wins ever at Oregon State with 93, while leading the program to eight bowl appearances. Oregon State was ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for 28 weeks, and Riley has coached players who have earned 32 All-America honors. Riley has had 32 NFL Draft picks, including first-round selections Steven Jackson (2004) and Brandin Cooks (2014).

Before accepting the Nebraska job, Riley was the longest tenured coach in the Pac-12 and had the seventh-longest stint of any head coach in the FBS ranks. His resume sparkles with coaching achievements.

Riley was the 2008 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Pac-10 Conference and State of Oregon Coach of the Year, and his teams have appeared in the final Associated Press top-25 rankings three times in the past eight seasons. In 2012 he was selected the AFCA Region Coach of the Year.

The 62-year-old Riley posted a 6-2 record in bowl games with the Beavers. Riley built the foundation for Oregon State in his first two

years on the campus in 1997 and 1998. Riley took over a program that was mired in a streak of 26 consecutive losing seasons and quickly changed the culture in Corvallis. After Riley departed for the NFL, Oregon State made three postseason appearances.

Riley was the first coach in OSU history to win more than one NCAA-sanctioned bowl game at OSU, capturing the 2003 Las Vegas Bowl, the 2004 Insight Bowl, the 2006 and 2008 Sun Bowls, the 2007 Emerald Bowl and the 2013 Hawaii Bowl titles. He was also the first coach to lead the program to more than one winning conference season since 1969, and Riley accomplished the feat six times.

Riley returned to the Beaver sideline for the second time in 2003 and led the team to the Las Vegas Bowl title over New Mexico. The team set several individual and team records, and led the Pac-10 in both offense and defense. Success immediately followed on the recruiting trail, as Oregon State signed the best recruiting class in school history the following February.

The 2004 team played one of the nation’s toughest schedules en route to a 7-5 record, capped by a strong finish. OSU defeated Oregon in the annual Civil War matchup and completed the year with a 38-21 win over Notre Dame in the Insight Bowl. The Beavers closed the 2004 campaign by winning six of their final seven games.

After a 5-6 season in 2005, Riley’s 2006 team was the second team in school history to win at least 10 games. The Beavers won eight of their final nine games, including a win over No. 3 USC to end the Trojans’ 27-game Pac-10 win streak.

OSU also ended a lengthy Aloha Stadium win streak for Hawaii and capped off the year with a thrilling 39-38 victory over Missouri in the Sun Bowl. The Beavers finished third in the Pac-10, just one game behind co-champions USC and California, and ended the year ranked No. 21 in the final AP poll.

Like many of Riley’s teams, the 2007 squad continued to improve throughout the season, winning seven of the final eight games on the way to a 9-4 mark. The Beavers won at No. 2 California during the season and also posted a win at 18th-ranked Oregon. OSU’s defense was first nationally against the run and led the country in tackles for loss. The Beavers capped the year with a win over Maryland in the Emerald Bowl and finished No. 25 in the Associated Press Poll.

Many expected the 2008 season to be a rebuilding year for Riley and a young Beaver team. However, OSU tied for second in the Pac-10 with a 7-2 record and finished 9-4 overall. The success came despite playing one of the nation’s toughest schedules that featured three teams that played in BCS bowls.

The highlight of the 2008 season was a 27-21 win over then-No. 1 USC in a Thursday night matchup in Corvallis. Oregon State capped the year with a win over Pittsburgh in the Sun Bowl and finished No. 18 in the AP Poll and 19th in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

In 2009, Riley and his staff had a difficult job of replacing nearly every starter on defense and a total of seven NFL draftees. Not only did the Beavers qualify for a bowl game, but for the second straight year played the season finale with an opportunity to reach the Rose Bowl. A league-high seven Beavers earned first team All-Pac-10 honors.

The 2010 team posted a 5-7 record, but finished the year with a pair of wins over top-25 teams. OSU defensive tackle Stephen Paea (DT) earned the Morris Trophy for the second time, awarded to the conference’s top defensive lineman. Jacquizz Rodgers earned first-team Pac-10 honors for the third consecutive season to become just the third Pac-10 running back to earn first-team all-league honors three times.

After a 3-9 season in 2011, Riley’s 2012 team was picked to finish last in the Pac-12 North, yet went 6-3 in league and 9-4 overall. The team was ranked in the Associated Press Poll a school-record

"Coach Riley is a great fit at Nebraska. He is a first-class man who has been one of the most underrated coaches in the country for a number of years." ESpN Analyst Kirk herbstreit

“I’d go so far to say that Riley is role-modeling what we should all be seeking for ourselves; he’s well-liked, well-paid, respected, successful, secure and content.” - ESpN.com columnist Ted miller

12 consecutive weeks, including as high as No. 7. The Beavers opened the year with victories over No. 13 Wisconsin and No. 19 UCLA, and posted the third-best conference record behind a pair of BCS bowl teams.

In 2013 the Beavers won six straight games and defeated Boise State in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl to conclude the season with a 7-6 mark. Wide Receiver Brandin Cooks became the second Beaver to win the coveted Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s most outstanding receiver. Cooks broke the Pac-12 record for single-season receptions (128) and yards (1,760). The season also featured quarterback Sean Mannion setting the league record for passing yards (4,662).

In Riley’s final season at Oregon State, the Beavers posted a 5-7 mark. The highlight of the season was a victory over then-No. 7 Arizona State in Corvallis in mid-November. That victory continued Riley’s trend of wins over highly ranked opponents, as his OSU teams defeated 13 top-25 teams, including three wins over teams ranked No. 3 or higher.

Riley has a commitment to the total development of student-athletes. His teams have had outstanding success in the classroom. In the last six years Beavers have been honored by the league for academic achievements 70 times.

Riley’s pro style approach to how he manages the program has paid dividends to players who have gone on to professional careers. Nineteen former Beavers who were coached by Riley were in the NFL for the start of the 2014 season, including quarterbacks Matt Moore (Miami) and Derek Anderson (Carolina), running backs Steven Jackson (Atlanta) and Jacquizz Rodgers (Atlanta) and defensive back Brandon Browner (Seattle). Anderson, Jackson and Browner have each earned Pro Bowl honors.

Riley left his first stint at Oregon State following the 1998 season after an opportunity to become the head coach of the National Football League’s San Diego Chargers. He spent four years in the NFL, three seasons as the Chargers’ head coach and the 2002 campaign as the Assistant Head Coach of the New Orleans Saints.

Riley also had previous professional coaching experience in both the Canadian Football League and World Football League. In 1987, Riley was named the youngest head coach in CFL history, taking over

the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at the age of 33. He posted a 40-32 record with the organization and won Grey Cup titles in 1988 and 1990. He was the CFL’s Coach of the Year both of those seasons and was inducted into Winnipeg’s Hall of Fame in 2007.

In 1991 Riley took over the San Antonio Riders of the World Football League, spending two seasons with the team before the league suspended its North American operations.

He returned to the college ranks in 1993 when then-USC head coach John Robinson offered him the position of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Riley later became assistant head coach. The Mesa (Ariz.) Tribune named him the league’s top assistant coach in 1993 after leading the Trojans’ offense to record-setting numbers. USC quarterback Rob Johnson earned numerous Pac-10 and NCAA records, and would later become a first-round NFL draft pick.

Riley remained at USC through the 1996 season, helping the Trojans to victories in the Rose, Cotton and Freedom Bowls. USC won one outright league title, shared another and finished second one time.

Riley had a long history in Corvallis, Ore. He was born in Wallace, Idaho, but grew up with Beaver football, as his father Bud was an assistant coach for the program from 1965 to 1972 and again in 1979. Mike was a standout quarterback at Corvallis High School, leading the Spartans to the 1970 state title.

Riley went on to a successful college career at the University of Alabama, playing for legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. He played cornerback from 1971 to 1974, helping the Tide to four Southeastern Conference titles and the 1973 national championship.

Riley immediately moved into coaching following his graduation from Alabama. His first stop was as a defensive graduate assistant coach for Mike White at the University of California in 1975. He helped the Bears to an 8-3 record and a share of the Pacific-8 Conference title.

Riley continued his education and his coaching career in 1976 at Whitworth College in Spokane, Wash. He finished his master’s degree in physical education in 1977 while working for popular Pacific Northwest coach and future Canadian Football League legend Hugh Campbell.

Riley’s first full-time appointment came at NAIA powerhouse

74

Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore. From 1977 to 1982 he served as the program’s defensive coordinator and secondary coach, as well as assistant athletic director. Riley assisted head coach Ad Rutschman’s Wildcats to a six-year record of 52-7-1, which included five conference titles and the 1982 undefeated NAIA title team.

An opportunity to coach in the pro ranks presented itself in 1983, and Riley was on his way to the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers as the secondary coach. During his three-years as an assistant, Winnipeg produced a 32-15-1 mark and won the 1984 Grey Cup title.

Riley returned to the college level in 1986 as an assistant coach at the University of Northern Colorado, before returning to the Blue Bombers.

Riley’s respect in the profession is evident in the fact he has been the head coach for three postseason all-star games – the Hula Bowl, East-West Shrine Game and Blue-Gray All-Star Classic.

Mike and his wife Dee are the parents of one son, Matthew, and one daughter, Kate. They also have a grandson, Elijah Jo. Matthew is an OSU graduate and is currently an employee of the Texas Workforce Commissions in the state government. Kate is a 2011 OSU graduate.

Mike has two brothers, Edward Riley, a physician and associate professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and Pete Riley, a scientist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Mark Banker serves as Nebraska’s defensive coordinator after working with Mike Riley at Oregon State for the past 12 years. Banker served as OSU’s defensive coordinator, with his defenses regularly ranking among the top units in the Pac-12 Conference during his tenure.

Banker owns 37 years of coaching experience, including 19 total years working with Riley. Banker spent 14 years with Riley at Oregon State, along with three years with the San Diego Chargers and one year as assistants on the USC coaching staff.

Banker had worked strictly as the defensive coordinator since 2012, but also spent time coaching linebackers and safeties during his time in Corvallis. The 2012 Beaver defense ranked in the top three in the Pac-12 in total defense and scoring defense, while finishing sixth nationally in third-down conversion defense.

The 2008 OSU defense played a key role in the Beavers’ run to a 9-4 record and a Sun Bowl victory. Banker’s defense ranked second in the Pac-10 in total defense and closed the year with a shutout win over Pittsburgh in the Sun Bowl. Eight defenders were recognized with All-Pac 10 honors.

Banker’s 2007 Oregon State defense was among his best statistical units. The Beavers led the nation in rushing defense, while ranking eighth in total defense, fourth in quarterback sacks and sixth in tackles for loss. The Beavers finished 10-4 in 2006, largely due to ranking third in the nation in quarterback sacks and leading the nation in tackles for loss yardage.

Banker first joined Riley’s staff at Oregon State in 1997 and 1998. Overall, more than 70 of Banker’s defenders earned all-conference honors during his tenure in Corvallis.

Banker had three years of NFL experience on Riley’s staff with the San Diego Chargers from 1999 to 2001. As the defensive coordinator in 2001, San Diego ranked 11th in the league in total defense and first in rushing defense.

In addition to his time at Oregon State, Banker has collegiate assistant coaching stops at Stanford, USC, Hawaii and Cal State Northridge. He began his career at his alma mater, Springfield College.

Danny Langsdorf serves as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on Mike Riley’s Nebraska coaching staff. Langsdorf has extensive experience working with Riley, having served two stints on Riley's Oregon State staff.

In 2014, Langsdorf served as the quarterbacks coach with the New York Giants. Langsdorf worked directly with two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Eli Manning. Manning completed a career-best 63.1 percent of his passes in 2014, and his 4,410 passing yards were the second-most in his 11-year NFL career. Manning's passer rating of 92.1 was the third-best of his career.

Before joining the Giants’ staff, Langsdorf spent the previous nine seasons as Riley’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Oregon State. Langsdorf’s offenses were regularly among the most productive in the Pac-12 Conference, and nine of OSU’s top 13 single-season yardage outputs came during Langsdorf’s tenure. Langsdorf's offenses helped OSU to six bowl appearances in eight seasons from 2006 to 2013, including four wins.

In Langsdorf’s final season in Corvallis, the 2013 Oregon State offense set a school record with 6,071 yards. The Beavers led the conference with 376.2 passing yards per game and were third with 467.0 total yards per game. Langsdorf spent three seasons coaching quarterback Sean Mannion, who completed his career in 2014 with a Pac-12 career-record 13,600 passing yards.

Langsdorf also coordinated Oregon State offenses that featured the top three receivers in Oregon State history and two of the top three career rushers. Wide receiver Markus Wheaton completed his OSU career in 2012 with 227 career receptions, including a record 91 catches in 2012. Brandin Cooks set school and Pac-12 records with 128 catches for 1,730 yards in 2013 and finished second in career receiving, while James Rodgers caught 222 passes for 2,578 yards in his Beaver career from 2007 to 2011.

On the ground, running backs Yvenson Bernard and Jacquizz Rodgers each posted three consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons from 2005 to 2010. Rodgers ranks second in Oregon State history with 3,877 rushing yards, just ahead of Bernard’s career total of 3,862 yards. Rodgers became the first freshman to be named the Pac-10 Offensive MVP in conference history in 2008.

From 2002 to 2004, Langsdorf was on the New Orleans Saints’ coaching staff. He was an offensive assistant/quality control coach

in his first season before being promoted to assistant wide receivers/special teams coach for two years. Before New Orleans, he spent three seasons in the Canadian Football League with the Edmonton Eskimos.

Langsdorf first worked for Riley at Oregon State in 1997 and 1998, when he coached the tight ends. His college coaching career started in 1996 at California Lutheran University. Langsdorf played for three seasons at Boise State, before transferring to Linfield College, where he started at quarterback in 1994 and 1995.

Bruce Read serves as Nebraska's special teams coordinator, and he owns more than 30 years of expertise in coaching special teams.

Read has spent 15 seasons on Mike Riley coaching staffs, including at Oregon State and with the San Diego Chargers before joining Riley in Lincoln.

Read spent the last six seasons from 2009 to 2014 with Riley at Oregon State, Read's third stint in Corvallis. He also coached the Beaver special teams in 1997 and 1998 and from 2004 to 2006. OSU special teams players achieved numerous school records and all-conference accolades under Read’s direction.

Most recently in 2014, Beaver kickers connected on 19-of-22 field goals and were perfect on PAT attempts. In 2012, Jordan Jenkins earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors as a coverage specialist and OSU led the conference in field goal percentage. Place-kicker Trevor Romaine was one of the nation's most accurate place-kickers that season, connecting on 89 percent of his field goals.

In 2011, return specialist James Rodgers became the school’s career all-purpose yardage leader with 6,377 yards, partially fueled by 2,385 career return yards. In the 2011 season, OSU ranked seventh in the NCAA in punt returns. The previous year, the Beavers ranked fourth nationally with a school-record 26.4-yard kickoff return average and sixth nationally in punt return average.

One of the top defensive players for Coach Mike Riley at Oregon State, Trent Bray serves as Nebraska's linebackers coach. Bray served in the same role on Riley's Oregon State staff from 2012 to 2014.

In his first season on the Beaver staff in 2012, Oregon State ranked second in the Pac-12 in scoring defense and third in total defense, rushing defense and pass defense. The play of the defense helped OSU make the largest turnaround in number of victories in the FBS ranks on its way to a berth in the Alamo Bowl.

Bray also coached linebackers at Arizona State from 2009 to 2011, including two seasons as a full-time coach and one year as a graduate assistant. Bray coached Pac-10 all-conference selections Vontaze Burfict and Colin Parker during his time in Tempe.

Mike Cavanaugh joined the Nebraska program as the offensive line coach, after spending the past 10 seasons on Mike Riley’s Oregon State staff coaching the offensive line.

Cavanaugh also spent time in the National Football League with the San Diego Chargers and has 30 overall years of coaching experience.

The play of Cavanaugh’s offensive lines helped the Beavers to record-setting offensive numbers and to bowl appearances in six of his 10 seasons in Corvallis. Behind the play of Cavanaugh's offensive line, quarterback Sean Mannion set single-season and career Pac-12 records for passing yards, completing his career in 2014.

The Beavers' offensive line also paved the way for several all-conference runners. OSU running backs Yvenson Bernard and Jacquizz Rodgers each produced three 1,000-yard rushing seasons behind Cavanaugh-coached lines. Cavanaugh’s offensive lines were also regularly among the league’s best at protecting the passer.

Cavanaugh's players at Oregon State were regularly honored for their efforts. Andy Levitre, Jeremy Perry and Isaac Seumalo each garnered All-America honors under Cavanaugh, while 23 of his players earned all-conference honors in the past decade.

The offensive line play for Oregon State allowed the Beavers to have success both running and passing the football. In 2013, Oregon State ranked third nationally in passing offense by averaging nearly 375 yards per game. On the ground, Oregon State featured a 1,000-yard rusher in each of Cavanaugh’s first six seasons in Corvallis.

Cavanaugh was also a key part in directing some of the nation’s top offenses at Hawaii, while tutoring the offensive line from 1999 to 2004. In each of his final four seasons with the Warriors, Hawaii ranked in the top 20 nationally in total offense, including second in 2002. Hawaii featured a potent passing attack, largely due to Cavanaugh's lines allowing just one sack on every 26 attempts.

Cavanaugh served on the San Diego Chargers staff in 1997 and 1998 as an assistant offensive line coach. He also had college assistant stops at Ferris State, Sacred Heart, Murray State, Alma College, Wesleyan (Conn.) and Albany.

A 37-year veteran of the college coaching ranks, Hank Hughes is the Huskers' defensive line coach. Hughes owns 28 seasons of experience as a defensive line coach.

Hughes came to Nebraska after serving as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for Tommy Tuberville at Cincinnati in 2014. The Bearcats’ defense made steady improvement throughout the 2014 season, holding five opponents to 17 or fewer points during a seven-game win streak to end the regular season. The late-season surge helped the Bearcats earn a share of the American Athletic Conference title.

Hughes spent the previous 13 seasons as an assistant coach at Connecticut, coaching the defensive line for the Huskies throughout his tenure at the school. Hughes was the defensive coordinator for four of his seasons at UConn and was assistant head coach for eight seasons from 2005 to 2012.

During Hughes’ time with the school, Connecticut appeared in five bowl games and won a share of two Big East Championships. The 2010 Huskies earned a spot in a BCS bowl game, taking on Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Husky defenses regularly ranked among the nation’s top rush defenses, in large part due to the play of Hughes’ defensive line. UConn ranked in the top 10 nationally in total defense in 2006, 2008 and 2012.

Hughes’ 2012 defense is regarded as one of the finest in school history with the unit ranking seventh in the country in rush defense, ninth in total defense and 19th in scoring defense. The run defense was also stout in 2011, ranking first in the Big East and fourth nationally.

The Huskies’ 2008 defense ranked among the nation’s best, finishing sixth in the country and first in the Big East in total defense at just 278.0 yards per game. UConn also ranked in the top 25 nationally and top three in the Big East in 2008 in pass efficiency defense, rushing defense and scoring defense.

Hughes’ defense helped UConn make a successful transition to the Big East, leading the conference in total defense in each of its first two years in the league in 2006 and 2007. In the Huskies’ first season in FBS in 2002, Hughes’ defense ranked fifth nationally in pass defense and in the top 20 in total defense and pass efficiency defense.

Hughes also served as the defensive line coach at Memphis from 1998 to 2000, helping the Tigers lead the nation in rush defense in 2000. Hughes’ previous college coaching experience includes stints at Harvard, Cincinnati and James Madison among others. He also spent two seasons in the professional ranks with the Montreal Machine of the World League of American Football. Hughes played linebacker at Springfield College.

Brian Stewart serves as the Huskers’ defensive backs coach. He has an extensive background as a secondary coach and as a defensive coordinator at both the college and professional levels.

Stewart joined the Nebraska staff after three seasons as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Maryland. His stop at Maryland continued an impressive coaching resume that includes seven years as a defensive coordinator—five years in college football and two in the NFL. Stewart also has 16 years of tutoring defensive backs on his coaching resume.

In his three seasons on the Maryland staff, Stewart helped the Terrapins to a pair of bowl appearances. The attacking Terrapin defense tallied more than 30 sacks each of the past two seasons.

six plaYers to serVe as 2015 captains Six players were selected as captains for the 2015 season, the first under Head Coach Mike

Riley. The group includes three players each on offense and defense, and consists of two seniors and four juniors. The players come to the Nebraska program from six different states.

Offensively, senior offensive tackle Alex Lewis, junior quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. and junior wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp were named captains. Senior defensive end Jack Gangwish, junior defensive tackle Maliek Collins and junior safety Nate Gerry will represent the 2015 Blackshirts as captains.

Armstrong Jr. has been Nebraska’s starting quarterback the past two seasons. The Cibolo, Texas, native posted the third-best total offense season in Husker history as a sophomore in 2014.

Lewis the only returnee on the offensive line who started all 13 games for Nebraska in 2014. The Tempe, Ariz., native joins his father in having been elected as a Nebraska team captain. Bill Lewis was a Husker captain in 1985, when he earned All-America honors at center. The Lewis family is the third family to have a father-son duo named as Nebraska team captains. Tom Ruud and sons Barrett and Bo served as captains, as did Dean Steinkuhler and his sons, Ty and Baker.

Westerkamp has played a key role in the Nebraska passing game the past two seasons, including 44 catches and five touchdowns as a sophomore. Westerkamp’s selection marks the third straight year a receiver has served as a Nebraska captain.

A fifth-year senior from Wood River, Neb., Gangwish continues a long line of Nebraska natives and walk-ons who have served as Nebraska captains. Gangwish’s selection marks the 10th straight year a Nebraska native has been named a team captain. Gangwish is the second player in three seasons to become a captain after originally joining the program as a walk-on, joining offensive lineman Spencer Long (2013). Gangwish played in every game last season and made 19 tackles.

A Kansas City product, Collins was a stalwart for the Husker defensive line last season, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore. Collins had 45 tackles, including a team-leading 14 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.

Gerry enters his junior season as the leading returning tackler for the Blackshirt defense. The Sioux Falls, S.D., product made 88 tackles last season. He also ranked among the Big Ten leaders with five interceptions and was a second-team all-conference pick. Gerry is the fourth defensive back in the past three seasons to serve as a team captain, joining Ciante Evans in 2013 and Corey Cooper and Josh Mitchell in 2014.

2015 OUTLOOkQuarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. has directed the Nebraska offense each of

the past two years. The Texas native has started 21 games the past two seasons and will enter fall camp as a strong favorite to retain that role. Armstrong could join an elite group of quarterbacks who have been three-year starters in the Nebraska program.

The 6-1, 220-pound Armstrong has excelled based on his dual-threat abilities as well as his command and leadership of the Husker offense. Armstrong was among the Big Ten leaders in total offense in 2014 and capped his sophomore season with career bests in passing yards and total offense in the Holiday Bowl against USC. Armstrong will focus on improved passing accuracy in Coach Mike Riley’s offense in 2015.

With two seasons remaining, Armstrong is already climbing the Husker career charts. His 3,661 career passing yards rank seventh in school history, while his 4,568 yards of total offense leaves him just 212 yards outside the career top 10.

Armstrong quickly earned the respect of his teammates when he took over the starting role as a redshirt freshman in 2013. A natural leader, Armstrong is one of the Huskers’ team captains for the 2015 season.

2014 (SOPHOMORe)Armstrong started all 13 games and finished with 3,400 yards of total

offense. He threw for 22 touchdowns, including seven in the season’s final two games. He threw for more than 200 yards eight times in 2014, and had at least one touchdown pass in 11 of 13 games.

Armstrong accounted for 276 yards of total offense at Northwestern, including 221 passing yards. He caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from De’Mornay Pierson-El on a second-quarter reserve pass, becoming the first NU quarterback to catch a touchdown pass since 2008.

Armstrong posted 268 yards of total offense in a 28-24 loss to Minnesota, including 223 passing yards. In the regular-season finale at Iowa, Armstrong’s leadership and poise helped Nebraska tie the largest road comeback in school history, as the Huskers overcame a 24-7 second-half deficit to win 37-34 in overtime.

Armstrong threw for a career-high four touchdown passes at Iowa, including a pair of second-half touchdowns to put NU in position to reach overtime. Armstrong then connected with Kenny Bell on a game-winning nine-yard touchdown pass in overtime.

Armstrong directed Nebraska to 525 total yards against USC in the Holiday Bowl. He posted career highs in passing yards (381), completions (32) and

attempts (51), all Nebraska bowl records. Armstrong also rushed for 41 yards to account for a career-high and Nebraska bowl record 422 yards of total offense. He threw for three touchdowns in the game, and ran for a fourth-quarter score before the Husker rally fell just short.

2013 (ReDSHiRT FReSHMAN)Armstrong took over the starting role midway through the season and

compiled a 7-1 record as the starter. He was one of three quarterbacks to play a key role for NU in 2013, beginning the season as the co-No. 2 quarterback behind Taylor Martinez. Armstrong finished with 966 yards passing and nine touchdowns, while rushing for 202 yards and two scores.

Armstrong made his first career start against South Dakota State and completed 12-of-15 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown. He guided Nebraska to touchdowns on each of the first three drives he led.

Armstrong split time with Ron Kellogg in a win at Purdue and scored his first career rushing touchdown, a three-yard first-quarter run. Armstrong rushed 17 times for a season-high 69 yards against Northwestern, including a five-yard TD on the game’s opening drive. He also completed 15-of-29 passes for a season-high 173 yards and a touchdown.

Armstrong threw for 139 yards, including a game-winning touchdown to Ameer Abdullah with 2:03 left. Armstrong was 5-for-7 for 59 yards passing and added seven yards rushing on the game-winning drive.

He suffered his only loss of 2013 as a starter against Michigan State, when he threw for 143 yards and two touchdown passes. Armstrong was injured early at Penn State and also missed the Iowa contest with an injury.

2012 (ReDSHiRT)Armstrong redshirted in his first season in the program in 2012.

BeFORe NeBRASkA (STeeLe HS)Armstrong was one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks after leading

Cibolo Steele High School to the Class 5A state championship game each of his final two seasons. Armstrong led Steele to 15 straight victories in 2011, before a loss in the state championship game. He rushed for 1,281 yards and 16 touchdowns, while passing for 1,945 yards and 29 touchdowns against just two interceptions. He completed nearly 59 percent of his passes.

2015 OUTLOOkJunior Josh Banderas will head into the 2015 season with an opportunity to

establish himself as a regular in the middle of the Blackshirt defense. Banderas has shown his versatility throughout his first two seasons with the Huskers, working at multiple linebacker spots, but he focused on the MIKE spot in the spring and will head into the fall as a likely starter at that crucial position.

The Lincoln native is one of three linebackers with extensive playing experience at Nebraska, joining classmate Michael Rose-Ivey. The 6-2, 235-pound Banderas capped his sophomore season with an impressive performance against USC in the Holiday Bowl. He began his Nebraska career by seeing action as a true freshman in 2013. Off the field, Banderas earned academic All-Big Ten honors in 2014.

and the Holiday Bowl against USC. He finished with 50 tackles, including 19 solo stops. He had at least four tackles in five games, highlighted by a career-high 14 tackles against USC. In addition to his play at linebacker, Banderas also saw action on coverage units, helping the Huskers feature one of the nation’s top special teams units.

In addition to his 14-tackle effort vs. USC, Banderas made 10 tackles and a tackle for loss against McNeese State and had five tackles against Miami. He had four tackles and a tackle for loss at Fresno State.

Honor Roll (Spring 2014)

2015 OUTLOOkSenior Alex Lewis is one of three returning offensive

tackles who saw extensive action in the 2014 season. The 6-6, 290-pound Lewis held down the left tackle starting job throughout the entire 2014 season and hopes to earn that position again in 2015.

A transfer from Colorado, Lewis excelled in his first season in the program, teaming with Jake Cotton to give NU a strong left side of the line. The group helped Ameer Abdullah to a record-setting senior season and also helped Nebraska rank among the Big Ten’s best teams in protecting the passer. Lewis earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten honors from the conference coaches and media.

He was also one of 21 Huskers to earn academic All-Big Ten honors in 2014. Lewis is the son of former Husker All-America center Bill Lewis, who starred at Nebraska in the mid 1980s. The younger Lewis is on track to earn his degree in sociology in August.

Lewis is one of six captains for the 2015 season, joining his father with earning that distinction at Nebraska. The Lewises are just the third family to have a father-son combination become Cornhusker captains.

2014 (JUNiOR)Lewis started all 13 games at left tackle and was a key part of an offensive

line that powered several record-setting performances and helped NU rank in the top 20 nationally in rushing and scoring offense. The Nebraska offense opened the season with a Big Ten modern-era record of 784 yards of total offense, including 498 rushing yards. The line pounded the defenses of both Miami and Illinois as the Huskers rushed for 343 and 458 yards, respectively, and Ameer Abdullah topped 200 yards in both contests.

The line paved the way for Abdullah’s fourth 200-yard rushing game against Rutgers. Abdullah finished his career as Nebraska’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards, while ranking second in career rushing yards.

The first two touchdowns of Turner’s career were game changers. The first came on a six-yard TD catch with six seconds remaining to give NU a 28-24 win at Michigan State. The second came in the fourth quarter a week later against Penn State, giving Nebraska its first lead in a comeback victory. He averaged 5.7 yards on six punt returns and 22.1 yards on seven kickoff returns.

Turner had a season-long 36-yard catch against Southern Miss, and had a key 25-yard catch to set up Nebraska’s game-winning touchdown.

2015 OUTLOOkJordan Westerkamp has a pair of highly productive seasons under his belt

and is poised for bigger numbers for Nebraska in 2015. Westerkamp is an outstanding route runner and has great hands, allowing him to make the difficult catches look routine. He appeared to be a natural fit in Nebraska’s new offensive system during the spring.

Westerkamp was NU’s second-leading receiver in 2014, catching 44 passes for 747 yards and five touchdowns. His receiving yardage and receptions totals both ranked just outside of the top 10 on the Nebraska single-season charts.

Westerkamp had a team-high four catches for 61 yards in a win over McNeese State, including a 40-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

Westerkamp caught a career-long 70-yard touchdown on the game’s third play at Fresno State. At Michigan State, Westerkamp set career highs with nine catches for 158 yards, all in the second half. The nine catches tied for the eighth-most in NU history, while the 158 yards were fifth-best in school history.

Westerkamp had a four-yard touchdown catch against Rutgers and added five receptions against Minnesota. He capped the year with three catches for 81 yards against USC in the Holiday Bowl, including a 65-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

2013 (ReDSHiRT FReSHMAN)Westerkamp played in all 13 games, with a start against Georgia and had 20

receptions for 283 yards and a touchdown while also serving as NU’s top punt returner for much of the season. His lone touchdown catch will go down in Nebraska history, coming on a 49-yard Hail Mary pass to defeat Northwestern.

Westerkamp caught four passes for 30 yards in the season’s first five games, before becoming a bigger part of the passing game. He had three receptions for 53 yards at Purdue and also added three catches at Minnesota. Westerkamp had a season-best day against Northwestern with four catches for 104 yards, capped by the touchdown from Ron Kellogg III. He had a season-high five catches for 62 yards at Penn State.

The field inside Memorial stadium is now 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 ranked fifth 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 three-year wait for entrance into the hall. The Memorial Stadium field was re-named Tom Osborne field in 1998.

A Hastings, Neb., native, Osborne served Nebraska for three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Osborne served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 2007 through 2012.

One man tops the list of people responsible for the success of the University of Nebraska athletic teams – Bob Devaney. For 35 years he was the driving force behind the University of Nebraska championships, first as a Hall of Fame football coach (1962-72), then as Athletic Director (1967-93) and Athletic Director Emeritus (1993-96). Devaney retired in 1996 and lived in Lincoln until he passed away at the age of 82 on May 9, 1997.

Devaney’s mark will remain forever. The memories of the storybook national championship seasons of 1970 and 1971 will continue to inspire generations of Husker fans for years to come. His commitment to building one of the nation’s best athletic programs is reinforced with every athletic and academic honor earned by Husker student-athletes.

From the time he took over athletic director duties in 1967, to his final year in 1993, his vigor, enthusiasm and administrative excellence earned him a reputation as one of the nation’s outstanding athletic directors. Those characteristics helped make him a football coaching legend. A 1981 inductee into the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame, under Devaney’s leadership Nebraska developed one of the nation’s most successful all-around athletic programs.

During his 11-year stint as Husker football coach, Devaney’s teams won 101 games, lost only 20 and tied two for an .829 winning percentage. His career mark of 136-30-7 (.806) ranked him as the nation’s winningest active coach at the time of his retirement in 1973. Today, he ranks 11th on the all-time list, six 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.

NatIoN-leaDINg 17 NCaa toDay's toP teN awarDsThe highest honor the National Collegiate Athletic Association 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.

The University of Nebraska earned its NCAA-leading 17th Top 10 Award in January of 2014 when women's tennis standout Mary Weatherholt was recognized at the NCAA honors dinner. Weatherholt was the NCAA singles runner-up in 2013. She was Nebraska's first Top 10 honoree since 2008.

The Husker football program has nine of Nebraska's 17 Top 10 Award winners, most recently All-America rush end Grant Wistrom who was a 1998 honoree. Wistrom's selection gave Nebraska nine Top 10 honorees in the 1990s. Two Huskers received the award in both 1990 and 1991, the only times that a school had more than one student-athlete honored. Nine of Nebraska’s Top 10 picks were football players, making the Husker grid program the most decorated in the country.

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.

NOTE: The following list is as complete and accurate as historical records allow. Corrections and additions will be made if documentation is provided. In each entry, the year is listed for each letter won. For example in the listing for Willard Burnham, the years are 1924-26, meaning Burnham lettered in 1924 and 1926 but not in 1925. Lettermen lists are not available for the 1890, 1891 and 1895 seasons. Players are listed by hometown and the last position they played at Nebraska.

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).

Nebraska IN the PollsThe Associated Press poll began in 1936, and Nebraska came in at No. 15 in the first-ever regular-season poll on Oct. 24. The Huskers finished with a No. 9 final 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 are based on regular-season finishes and do 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.

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

A sports law expert, Potuto regularly lectures and consults on sports issues in general and NCAA processes in particular. She is an expert witness in litigation involving sports issues. She testified before the House Subcommittee on the Constitution regarding due process in NCAA infractions hearings.

In the past year, she has appeared in media reports in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Washington Post, CBSSports.com, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and Insider Higher Ed among others. She has presented to the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, the National Association of College and University Attorneys, the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities, the Texas Commission of Higher Education, NCAA regional conferences, law conferences and law firms, NACDA, and to universities and law colleges, including the Universities of Istanbul, Washington, Maryland, Oklahoma, Santa Clara, Arizona State, Baltimore, and Mississippi.

Potuto is a past adviser to the Uniform Law Commissioners Committee to draft a sports agent statute, has drafted rules governing search and seizure and hearings for the Nebraska Racing Commission, and also has written on issues of gender equity in college athletics. She has authored numerous articles on sports law issues.

A former dean of the University of Nebraska College of Law (1983-98), Perlman has also served as interim senior vice chancellor for academic affairs at UNL (1995-96).

A Nebraska native, Perlman was raised in York, and earned a bachelor of arts in history and a juris doctorate from the University of Nebraska. During his law school years, he was editor in chief of the Nebraska Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif, a law honors society.

He has also served as a visiting professor at Florida State University College of Law, the University of Puget Sound School of Law and the University of Iowa College of Law.

In 2011, Perlman was named an Honorary University Professor of Xi’an Jiaotong University, in Xi’an, China. This rare lifetime appointment entitles Perlman to privileges at the university, with which UNL has many institutional ties. Perlman also will occasionally lecture and teach at Xi’an Jiaotong University. The title is the highest honor the university awards to a foreign scholar, and recognizes Perlman as an accomplished scholar or professional of important international reputation. The award also recognizes Perlman for his significant efforts in globalizing UNL and Xi’an Jiaotong University through joint research and partnership degree programs.

His area of legal expertise lies in torts and intellectual property. He is a member of the Nebraska State and American Bar Associations and is a Life Fellow of the American Bar Association.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA BOARD OF REGENTS



Shawn Eichorst came to the University of Nebraska in 2012 with an incredible passion for the University and for its student-athletes. As the leader of a tradition-rich athletics program with 24 intercollegiate teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 300 full-time employees, Eichorst has relied on a strong value system and a student-centered approach to lead the Department. Athletics’ primary mission is to provide student-athletes with the resources and support they need to be successful in academics, athletics and life. The health, safety and welfare of student-athletes are priority one and are at the essence of every decision made at Nebraska.

Nebraska has a history of providing first-class coaches, staff and facilities for its students. Additionally, since Eichorst arrived in Lincoln, resources and services in every student-athlete support unit have been improved and enhanced, including academics, athletic medicine, life skills, nutrition, sports psychology, strength and conditioning and in the Nebraska Athletics Performance Laboratory (NAPL).

Eichorst has continued to aggressively move Nebraska forward with several new initiatives to enhance the student-athlete experience. The Department will provide state-of-the-art laptop computers to all student-athletes beginning in the summer of 2015 and the University will now provide four-year, full cost of attendance-based scholarships for all scholarship student-athletes in every sport. Also beginning in the summer of 2015, every Husker letterwinner who graduates and has exhausted his or her eligibility will be provided assistance to either obtain an internship; study abroad or attend graduate or professional school.

Eichorst has made more than 350 public appearances around the state, and his monthly radio show and “Connecting on Campus” online column provide the opportunity for him to further connect and share the incredible activities, initiatives and accomplishments that take place at the University and in the Department. As a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team, Eichorst maintains a strong connection and collaboration between the University and Athletics Department.

A highly respected national leader, Eichorst was appointed in 2015 to the Division I Football Oversight Committee. He was the first Director of Athletics from any conference to visit the Big Ten Conference-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) at its Champaign, Ill., headquarters. The CIC is a highly successful academic-based consortium of 15 schools, including all 14 in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska is leading the Big Ten and the CIC in several areas, including Digital Humanities and head injury research.

Under Eichorst, Nebraska extended its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 320 and its nation-leading total of NCAA Top Ten Award winners to 17, after Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis) earned the honor in 2014. In 2014-15, more than 400 awards were presented at the 25th Anniversary Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet—A Night at the Lied. Over three commencements, 118 student-athletes earned undergraduate or graduate degrees and the Big Ten Conference honored 205 Husker student-athletes with Academic All-Big Ten awards. For the first time in school history, all Nebraska teams had an NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) of 950 or higher, as reported in May of 2015. The Nebraska football (second consecutive year) and rifle (third consecutive year) programs received public recognition for having an APR in the top 10 percent in their respective sports. In addition, five Husker teams (women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, volleyball and women’s golf) had a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 100 percent, as reported in the fall of 2014.

On Dec. 4, 2014, Eichorst announced the hiring of Mike Riley as the Huskers’ new head football coach. As one of the most respected and sought-after coaches in the profession, Riley’s hire was highly praised by prominent members of the national media, the coaching fraternity, Riley’s former players, and current and former Nebraska student-athletes. In Riley, Eichorst secured one of the finest football minds in the world and great positive-thinking teacher of young men.

In 2014-15, the Nebraska women’s bowling team earned the school’s seventh national title and fifth since bowling became an NCAA sport in 2004. The Husker men’s track and field team won the Big Ten Indoor Championship and 13 Husker teams competed in NCAA postseason action, including bowling, football, volleyball, women’s basketball, wrestling, softball, men’s and women’s

gymnastics, rifle, and men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field. Nebraska produced 36 All-Americans who won 51 awards.

Nebraska’s fan support continues to be unparalleled in college athletics. In fact, in 2014-15 top 15 national rankings for average attendance were reached across five sports—football, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball. A tribute to loyal Husker fans, two sports lead the nation with consecutive home sellout streaks, including football (340) and volleyball for regular-season action (188).

In 2013-14, Nebraska became one of only two NCAA institutions – and the first Big Ten program in history – to qualify for a football bowl game, and advance to NCAA postseason in the major team sports of volleyball, soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. Additionally, Nebraska was the only institution to win a postseason game in six of those seven sports.

Under Eichorst’s leadership, Nebraska continues to focus on improving its facilities and the game-day experience at all athletic venues. In the summer of 2015, a world-class Soccer and Tennis Complex, located just north of the Devaney Center and Nebraska Innovation Campus, will be completed. A new center-hung video board and sound system was installed in the Devaney Center in 2015 to improve the game-day experience for volleyball, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics. In 2014, the largest wireless network system at a college football stadium in history was installed in Memorial Stadium, along with a state-of-the-art sound system.

In the summer of 2013, a Memorial Stadium expansion also added the innovative NAPL inside East Stadium next to the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). That same year, Nebraska’s men’s and women’s basketball teams became the primary tenants at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the renovated Devaney Center became the home for Husker volleyball, wrestling and the men’s and women’s gymnastics programs.

Eichorst came to Nebraska after serving as Director of Athletics at Miami in 2011 and 2012. He hired legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, who led Miami to the NIT Second Round in his first season and ACC regular-season and tournament titles as well and the NCAA Sweet 16 in his second. The women’s basketball program posted its highest national ranking in school history (No. 5) and advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight season, and the baseball team made its 40th consecutive NCAA appearance. The women’s soccer team posted its first NCAA Tournament win in school history, and the volleyball team made its third straight NCAA Tournament trip.

Before heading to Miami, Eichorst was the Deputy Athletics Director at Wisconsin. He was the Chief Operating Officer and oversaw the department’s daily operations, as well as Bo Ryan’s men’s basketball program under the direction of Director of Athletics and former Husker Barry Alvarez.

From 2004 to 2006, Eichorst served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Administration at South Carolina, overseeing the department’s daily operations, as well as the football and baseball programs under legendary coaches Lou Holtz, Steve Spurrier and Ray Tanner, respectively.

From 1999 to 2003, Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which produced four top 10-percent finishes in the NACDA Directors Cup, one NCAA team title and two NCAA runner-up finishes. The program also featured 11 CoSIDA Academic All-America selections.

A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, three-time letterwinner and 1990 football team captain for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and in 2015 was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award for Professional Achievement. He earned a law degree from Marquette Law School in 1995, practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999 and is a past member of the State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette, where he taught classes in sports law. He serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors and in 2006, Marquette awarded Eichorst the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year Award. He is also a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee.

Nebraska players are available for interviews in person or by telephone on Monday and Tuesday. 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 Monday (defensive coaches) and Tuesday (offensive coaches) following practice.

Press conference and post-practice interviews with players and coaches are prohibited from being streamed live online via apps such as Meerkat and Periscope.

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 PRACTICESDuring 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, beginning at approximately 3:30 p.m. 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. Communications staff will escort media to the practice field at the conclusion of practice.

Photographers and videographers should contact Communications regarding days and times 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.). Media will be asked to leave the practice site to use their cell phones or mobile devices.

POSTGAME INTERVIEWSNebraska’s locker room is closed after games, both home

and away, but Coach Mike Riley and requested players will be available for interviews following a brief cooling-off period.

Admittance to the interview area will be by media credential only. Media should access the area via the door on the northeast corner of the Osborne Athletic Complex. For away games, the best available interview area will be used. Interview requests, home and away, will be taken by Keith Mann 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.

The visiting locker room at Memorial Stadium is located underneath the South Stadium. The visiting team interview area is just off the main tunnel leading to the visitor’s locker room.

Media planning to carry the press conference live should request permission from the Nebraska Communications Office before doing so. If media are planning to do live interviews 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 POLICIESThe 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.

The Husker IMG Sports Network will continue the strong tradition of broadcasting excellence in 2015, as it brings Husker football to fans across the nation and the world.

In the state of Nebraska, KXSP AM 590 ESPN (590 AM) and KEZO Z-92 (92.3 FM) will serve as the new Omaha affiliates beginning with the 2015 season. KXSP's strong signal reaches a good portion of the Midwest day and night, including parts of Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas. KLIN (1400 AM) serves as the Lincoln affiliate with KFGE Froggy 98 (98.1 FM) also carrying the football broadcast. KRVN (880 AM) is a powerful central Nebraska affiliate that reaches around the state. In addition the network has several dozen locally based affiliates across Nebraska. The national radio station coverage area is broad and includes Las Vegas, Seattle, Rapid City, Yankton, and Sioux Falls, S.D. All broadcasts are heard live on Huskers.com, the Husker App, the TuneIn Radio App, www.TuneIn.com, and SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

The Husker IMG Sports Network, in its 21st year of producing and marketing the live broadcasts of University of Nebraska Athletics, extended and expanded its agreement with the University on June 13, 2008. Under the agreement, IMG College’s Husker IMG Sports Marketing manages and markets all rights associated with the radio programming, Coaches’ TV and radio shows, program sales, in-venue signage, sponsorship inventory, and publication printing rights.

IMG College is the nation’s leading collegiate multimedia, marketing and brand management company, representing more than 200 of the nation's top collegiate properties including the NCAA and its 90 championships, NCAA Football, leading conferences, and many of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country. Headquartered in Winston Salem, N.C., IMG College, which employs more than 700 people in nearly 100 offices throughout the United States, is a division of IMG, a global leader in sports, fashion and media operating in more than 25 countries around the world. IMG’s businesses include Events & Media, College, Golf, Tennis, Performance and IMG Academy, Fashion, Models, Clients, Licensing, Joint Ventures, and creative management agency Art +

Commerce. In 2014, IMG was acquired by WME, the world’s leading entertainment and media agency. Together, the companies offer an unparalleled client roster; strategic partnerships with sponsors and brands; and marquee assets across sports, entertainment, events, music and fashion.

Greg Sharpe, Matt Davison, Lane Grindle, Matt Coatney, Steve Taylor, Ben McLaughlin, Nate Rohr and Josh Hilkemann will bring another exciting season of football to Husker fans across the nation with Mike Elliott as the Director of Broadcast Operations.

Sharpe returns for his eighth full season as the “Voice of the Huskers.” He will host the Mike Riley Pre- and Post-game Shows and the Countdown to Kickoff Show this year. Sharpe also serves as the “Voice of Husker Baseball” and as the host of the Husker Football TV Show, as well as the N'Side Nebraska TV Show and the Husker Basketball TV Show.

Davison, a former Husker, joins Sharpe in the broadcast booth for his ninth season as a color analyst. A member of the 1997 national championship team, Davison co-hosts the Husker Game Day Pregame Show.

In 2006, Commissioner 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 1,000 events across all platforms each year. BTN is in more than 60 million homes in the U.S. and Canada via the nation’s major cable, satellite and telco providers and more than 300 additional cable operators across the country. BTN2Go is the digital extension of BTN, delivering live and on-demand programming to computers, smartphones and tablets and also is accessible outside the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean via BTN2Go International.

On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by the University of Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12 institutions. Nebraska officially joined the Big Ten Conference 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.

In the fall of 2013, the Big Ten opened a new conference headquarters and meeting center in Rosemont, Ill. The newly constructed building is located 10 minutes from O’Hare Airport and has been designed to fully service the needs of more than 350 meetings annually for Big Ten and CIC related committees and coaches groups. The new headquarters also features an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience – which opened to the public on June 7, 2014, and 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. Three 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 nearly 1,400 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten Conference.

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.

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 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 bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for intercollegiate athletics.

On February 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905.

Indiana University and the State University of Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State University joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987.

As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence.

In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse the last two 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.

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. It is the most prestigious honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive.

In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics.” Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in 1989.

After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again.

In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions.

While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) in 1958. The CIC was formed as an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities and founding conference member Chicago. In 2013, the 15 schools currently constituting the CIC produced over $10 billion in funded research, $4 billion more than any other conference.

In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and make suggestions which would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten 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.

ThE DEVANEY SOCIETYAchieving greatness in both the classroom and on the playing field has long been a goal

of the University of Nebraska. Our nation-leading 320 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (as of July 1, 2015) and 26 team national titles reflect the manner in which we strive to achieve to the highest level.

Rising costs have made funding these athletic scholarships increasingly difficult. To help offset the expenses, the University of Nebraska established an athletic scholarship endowment fund to honor Hall of Fame Football Coach Bob Devaney.

Follow in the footsteps of Coach Devaney and commit to the long-term success of Nebraska Athletics. We are sincerely grateful to those who committed to our future stability and established a Devaney Society Scholarship for male and female student-athletes.

On behalf of the University of Nebraska student-athletes, coaches and Athletics Department staff, I would like to express my appreciation for your continued support of our entire athletics 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 Athletics Department staff members are knowledgeable about NCAA regulations because they receive on-going education.
