Husker Tickets

Michigan plays host to Nebraska in key battle

If you've got Husker tickets this week, you're set up for what should be an outstanding football game as Nebraska travels to Ann Arbor, Mich., to take on the University of Michigan.
A look at some of the statistics compiled by both teams shows that this should be a great matchup as Michigan and Nebraska battle for a spot in the Big Ten Conference championship game.
Both teams have scored more than 32 points a game this year, but Michigan's defense has been a bit stingier than Nebraska's giving up almost a touchdown a game less than the Huskers.
Michigan is led by its junior quarterback, Denard Robinson, who has proven to be a dual threat in running and throwing the football. The elusive signal-caller leads the team in rushing, racking up 910 yards in 10 games and averaging more than 5.7 yards every time he carries the ball.
Robinson is also a threat to throw the ball for Michigan, passing for 1,709 yards and 13 touchdowns. His effectiveness as a passer is a little shaky, however, as he has also thrown 13 interceptions this season while completing 53.5 percent of his attempts.
Michigan has a stable of quality receivers for Robinson to connect with. Junior Hemingway has been the Wolverines' leading receiver so far this year, catching 28 balls for an average of almost 20 yards per catch. Jeremy Gallon has caught 25 passes for an average of 16 yards per connection, and Kevin Kroger is the team's leading receiver in touchdowns, hauling in three scores so far this season. Both he and Roy Roundtree are big-play threats for the Wolverines.
Defensively, Kenny Demens is the leading tackler for Michigan, and has proven to be quite a defensive threat with his ability to force fumbles and get to the quarterback. Thomas Gordon has a nose for the football and has recovered a team-leading four fumbles this season while forcing two more.
Michigan has recorded 21 quarterback sacks this season and are led by Craig Roh (four sacks), Ryan VanBergen (3.5), Jordan Kovacs (three) and Mike Martin (three).
Michigan started out the season in fine form, posting a win over Notre Dame as part of a 6-0 start that included their first five games at home. They opened Big Ten Conference play with a 58-0 shutout of Minnesota and have wins over Northwestern, Purdue and Illinois. They have lost games to Michigan State and Iowa, both Legends Division foes that have hurt their chances of winning the division title outright. Michigan will need to finish with wins against Nebraska and arch rival Ohio State and get a little help in order to win the division title. Nebraska will also need to win its final two games and get some assistance, as they are also one game behind Michigan State but own a head-to-head tie-breaker by virtue of their 24-3 win over the Wolverines three weeks ago.
It should be a great matchup between two of the game's all-time legendary programs. Don't miss out on a great matchup between Michigan and Nebraska. Get your Husker tickets now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker game is ever sold out.

Start times set for first three Husker games

The University of Nebraska announced start times for the first three games of the 2011 football season, so fans with Husker tickets now can make tailgating plans for the first month of the upcoming season.
The season opener for Nebraska against Tenessee-Chattanooga on Sept. 3 will kick off at 2:30 p.m., as will the Sept. 17 matchup at home against Washington. Nebraska's Sept. 10 battle with Fresno State will start at 6 p.m.
At the present time, only one of those three games has a solid network home. The Washington game will be seen on ABC, but will be a regional telecast. Those regions who don't get the game on ABC will be able to see the game on ESPN. Network plans for the first two games have yet to be determined by the university.
The announcement means that only four games on the Huskers' 2011 football schedule have firm starting times. Game times and TV designation for home games with Michigan State on Oct. 29 and Northwestern on Nov. 5 have not been set, as have games at Penn State on Nov. 12 and Michigan on Nov. 19. Five other games have times and TV plans, including Sept. 24 at Wyoming (6:30 p.m., Versus), Oct. 1 at Wisconsin (7 p.m., ABC/ESPN/ESPN2), Oct. 8 vs. Ohio State (7 p.m., ABC/ESPN/ESPN2), Oct. 22 at Minnesota (2:30 p.m., ABC) and Nov. 25 vs. Iowa (11 a.m., ABC).

Tickets available for Holiday Bowl

Plenty of great Husker tickets are still available for the Holiday Bowl, featuring the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Washington Huskies, set for Thursday night at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, Calif.

The Huskers are looking to finish off the 2010 season in fine fashion with a win over a Washington team they have already defeated this season. Back in September, the Huskers traveled to Seattle, Wash., and manhandled the Huskies by a 56-21 margin in a game that was all Huskers.

Since that time, though, Washington has shown quite a bit of improvement. The Huskies come into the game on a three-game winning streak and should give Nebraska a much better matchup the second time around.

Husker tickets are hot for this game, and Nebraska is looking to end the season with an 11-2 mark, its first 11-win season in some time. The game will be played in San Diego, which has experienced quite a bit of flooding in recent days with massive rainstorms taking place in parts of southern California.

Don't miss out on what should be a fun and exciting bowl matchup. Get your tickets to see the Huskers take on Washington in the Holiday Bowl this Thursday. Great seats are available now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker game is ever sold out.

Huskers heading back to Holiday Bowl

Don't adjust your computer monitor – this is not a repeat. Nebraska is heading back to the Holiday Bowl.
For the second straight year, the Husker football team is heading to sunny San Diego, Calif., to represent the Big 12 Conference in the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl, set for Dec. 30 at Qualcomm Stadium. Husker tickets are available for the game now at Ticket Express.
Last year, the Huskers ended the 2009 season with a shutout of Arizona. This year, they will face another Pac 10 team in Washington, a team they beat earlier in the year 56-21.
This is the second time in Nebraska's long history that they would face a bowl game rematch of a team they played earlier that season. In 1978, Nebraska defeated Oklahoma, only to be matched up with them six weeks later in the Orange Bowl.
Nebraska is coming off a 23-20 loss to the Sooners in the Big 12 Conference Championship last weekend. They will be looking to post an 11-win season and take a good deal of momentum into next year's first season as a member of the Big Ten Conference.
If you enjoyed Nebraska's last trip to California, you will have a chance to get great Husker tickets to see them once again in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 30. Get your tickets now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker game is ever sold out.
