Nebraska football verses Kansas.

Back to normal with a cool fall night, a perfect night to play Nebraska style football.  Well, almost normal, who remembers when normal was a 1:30 kickoff?  

Honoring the men and women who have served and continue to serve in the military at the start of the game. 

 

I never tire of watching this guy run, Burkhead is a special player. 

 

Husker Nation gives a sigh of relief with Taylor Martinez back under center against Kansas. 

 

A bigger sigh comes as Martinez runs. 

David has a motor that never quits. 

Run Roy run!

 

 

The Husker defense holds Kansas below 100 yards of total offense! 

 

Niles Paul made some great catches tonight. 

 

Nebraska defense has a quarterback lunch.   

Rex Burkhead signals a left hand turn. 

 

You can put me down now!~

It's always fun to see friends in the stadium! 

 

Good by coach Gill, please win the Big 12 next year. 

 

Nebraska verses Missouri Football

Nebraska took a major step in the direction to wining the Big 12 North and Roy Helu Jr. took many steps all over the field against Missouri, setting a new Nebraska rushing record!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The entire day was a Roy Helu Jr highlight reel. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The defense looked like they were tired of hearing about how the MO offense was going to run all over them.  And decided to set the record straight. 

 

Even though the replay guys didn't ask me and didn't get it right, you can clearly see the football coming out from Gabbert's hand before his knee hit the ground.   Is this the next NU player to be expelled for a game for hitting someone? 

 

 

 

 

 

A little half time entertainment to help pass the time is always appreciated! 

 

Sure is easier to run when the defense is getting yanked around by the face mask.

 

 

One Nebraska crunch sandwich to go please!

 

 

I'm thinking Gabbert had a few more bruises after this game then normal!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 You got to give this kid a tip of the hat, what he did was remarkable given the history of NU.  Also, love his attitude about it all.  

 

 

Here's the hit that took Martinez out of the game. 

 

 

 

 

Love this shot of Helu!

Leaving MO behind in his dust!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a good day to be children of the corn~!

 

As the sun sets on the NU/MO series, I am glad to have this win to savior for a long time. 

 

What a great day to be outside taking photos of NU football.  Give a shout out and let me know which one is your favorite. 

cheers,

Dean

 

Nebraska verses Texas Football-sigh

The weather could not of been more perfect, too bad the outcome of the game couldn't match.   This was a difficult game to watch and even harder to photograph, they just didn't give me much to capture.

 

NU Cheerleaders warming up the crowd before the game.

 

At least the NU band showed up.

 

I kept thinking something is going to break open, until it never happened.

 

It was liking having a bad dream, except you couldn't wake up from it. 

 

 

Texas magic continues.

 

Put some super glue on those gloves. 

Somebody has to catch this one of these days. 

 

I would have liked to seen more faces like this on the Texas player's faces.

 

Determined to never give up.

 

Somebody please tackle this guy. 

 

One last moment of hope.

 

This pretty much says it all.

 

 

Nebraska verses Idaho -football Sept 11, 2010

What a beautiful day for a football game!   Nebraska played Idaho.  The blue skies were probably the only thing familiar to the Idaho Vandals on Saturday morning as a sea of red engulfed the stadium.  I do have to give it to the Idaho fans, they made their presence known for such a small group. 

 

Special tribute to Sept. 11.

 

Husker Tyrone Fahie carries the American flag onto the playing field. 

Taylor Martinez turns on the after burners in the first quarter.  This guy spends half of his time in the air.

 
 
You blink and he's gone. 

 
   

We have to come up with a nickname for Roy Helu. 

 

The Nebraska defense welcomes Nathan Enderle back to Big Red country.  

 

Ticket please for the Burkhead express!

 

These Vandals are pesky. 

One Husker sandwich being delivered.  

   

As photographer who's camera shoots several frames per second, I get to see frame by frame just how Taylor Martinez has the ability to leave people behind.   This guy is explosive. 
 

 

With this guy to compliment Martinez, you get the feeling that there are good things coming in the future.

   

Bo's face says it all.   I think it was about who was buying the pizza that night. 

   

The new Idaho quarterback gets the same welcome as the first. 

 

Like I said, you blink and he's gone.

 

DeJon Gomes was one of the shining stars of the Nebraska defense.  Here he returns a pick 6. 

 

Lil Red checks out the cheerleaders.

 
So does the photographer. 

Please let me know which is your favorite and why in the comment section.

Have a good week!    

Cheers,

Dean

 

Nebraska verses Western Kentucky -football Sept 4 2010

Once again Nebraska football has begun!  Woooohoo, and away we go! 

What a night for a football game.  As a photographer I prefer day games for better lighting, but wow, the weather was perfect. 

Below are a selection of my favorite photos from the night. 

Here we go boys!

Here's one fella that was about to have a special night.   Taylor Martinez runs through the tunnel walk. 

   

Beauty abound at Memorial Stadium. 

 
Taylor Martinez stiff arms a defender on the third place from scrimmage to score his first Nebraska touchdown.  

Mr. Steinkuhler introduces himself to the Western Kentucky quarterback.  

  

This guy has some potential and room to grow.
 

 Rex Burkhead looks for more open field to run.   This guy is just plain fun to watch. 

 

"Catch me if you can," should be Taylor Martinez's theme song. 

   

Bending without breaking, the Nebraska defense.

 
 This is what breaking looks like! 

 

Roy Helu leaping defenders with a single bound. 

   

Niles Paul hauls in a long pass for a touchdown. 

   

Prince Amukamara shows why he's more of a king then a prince in the backfield as he goes airborne to break up a pass in the endzone. 

 A few extras:

 Gotta love the NU marching band. 

 

 
 The voice in their heads: "I wonder if Taylor has a girlfriend." 

 

Where else can you dress like this and have it be accepted as normal?

A star is born.  

 

And some stars just keep burning brighter. 

 

And some of us are just happy to go home.   If you like what you see, give me a shout out from the sidelines.  

Cheers,

Dean
