Welcome to Husker Big Red Daily, your daily stop for the latest Nebraska football news, recruiting buzz, transfer portal updates, and Huskers headlines. Here’s a quick look at the latest storylines surrounding Nebraska athletics.
If the reporting of Sean Callahan is correct, Nebraska football fans have seen the last of Andrew Marshall in a Husker uniform.
The two-year starter has been incredible this season for Nebraska football, except for last week, when he allowed some big pass plays. Still, Marshall has put himself into the conversation to be a first-round pick. Hopefully, this injury news doesn’t change that.
Callahan reported to Husker Online that Marshall had surgery on a foot injury this week. He’s not expected to return this season with three games left, and honestly, why would he? Nebraska football is playing out the string at this point.
Owen Chambliss is also out. Dexter Foster and Vincent Shavers should be fine. At cornerback, it feels like Danny Odem deserves a chance to show what he can do. He’s the only cornerback with the kind of talent to do what Marshall has done this season.
Nebraska volleyball wins Big Ten championship
After a fourth consecutive win over a ranked opponent, thanks to a 3-0 sweep of Illinois on Thursday night, the Nebraska volleyball team has won the outright Big Ten championship for the second straight year.
The Huskers were at home Thursday and were never really challenged in the three-set sweep, winning 25-23, 25-20 and 25-12. Led by the best setter in college volleyball, Nebraska hit a season-best .483. Illinois hit .200 in the match, well below its season average of .279.
Teraya Sigler led the Big Red offense with 13 kills at a .684 clip. She was one of three Nebraska players to hit over .600 in the match, as Manaia Ogbechie tallied nine kills and hit .750, and Andi Jackson hit .643 with nine kills.
Bergen Reilly recorded 40 assists and seven digs, her eighth match with 40-plus assists this season. Olivia Mauch led the Huskers with 13 digs, and Ogbechie paced the Big Red with five blocks.
