Nebraska is going to be without one of their returning cornerbacks this spring and possibly part of the 2008 season as Anthony Blue will need to have surgery on a knee that he hurt during winter conditioning.  Rumors around Lincoln are saying he possibly tore his MCL and ACL but no official announcement has been released on what the exact injury is.

Blue was a true freshman last year and played in all 12 games for the Huskers.  He was expected to compete for a starting cornerback position this year as the Huskers lost Cortney Grixby, Zack Bowman, and Andre Jones at the position.

Quarterback Sam Keller will be out the rest of the season with a broken left collarbone.  Keller was sacked late in the fourth quarter against Texas when the injury occured.  There isn’t a timetable on a return at this point, so I would say it will be Joe Ganz the rest of the year behind center.

Ganz knows this play book inside and out, and should do a pretty good job.  Look for the offense to run some options, and for more rushing yards out of the quarterback position.  It should be exciting!

We wish Sam the best of luck with the recovery, and hope him all the best.

Offensive linemen Lydon Murtha will be sidelines for the rest of the season due to a foot injury Coach Callahan said yesterday.  Murtha was injured on the Huskers’ first series Saturday in the 36-14 loss to Texas A&M but finished the game. Callahan said the junior would be out six to eight weeks after starting NU’s first eight games at right tackle.

I’m hearing reports that true freshman Jaivorio Burkes could possibly have his redshirt pulled off him due to all the injuries on the offensive line.  I’m not for this decision at all.  The season is already going bad, why waste the kids redshirt when you have D.J. Jones and Mike Huff who could move around on the line.

The coaching staff has already wasted plenty of redshirts that weren’t needed this year (Niles Paul), please don’t make another mistake and take Burkes redshirt off him as well.

Nebraska offensive linemen Andy Christensen will be out the rest of the year with a terrible knee injury that he sustained on the second drive of the USC game.  Early reports are saying he tore his ACL.

I would expect Mike Huff or Keith Williams, or Jordan Picou to get some more playing time due to Christensen’s injury.

Coach Callahan released great info regarding the injuries to Marlon Lucky and Lydon Murtha today.  Both players have minor injuries and will be ready to go in the fall, and should be able to have a great summer of workouts.

It was a big scare with Lucky and Murtha went down.  Murtha went down with an apparent ankle injury early in the Spring Game and Lucky early in the 4th quarter which looked like it could have been a terrible ACL injury.  Lucky only has a mild strain of his MCL in his knee and it will just need some rest to get better.  Wow, we can only imagine if it would have been a ACL. 

The injury to Lucky would have left the Huskers with Glenn and Major Culbert at running back right now.  Would have meant for sure that Marcus Mendoza or incoming freshman Quentin Castille would have got early playing time as well.  Right now, they both might not redshirt as it stands, but I would love for them to be able to and get a full season in of conditioning and learning the playbook.

The Nebraska Football team has had it’s first injuries of the spring as cornerback Zach Bowman and running back Kenny Wilson have came down with injuries.

Bowman who isn’t in full contact in practices while he still rehabs the knee that had the ACL tear, injured his other knee when it hit with another players knee during practice.  Early reports are saying it could be a ruptured the patellar tendon which could sideline him from 4-6 months.  Right now it is too hard to tell, but don’t expect him back at full speed for awhile.  It’s bad news as the Huskers really need Bowman to be a lockdown corner and shutout the opposing teams best receiver.

Kenny Wilson actually broke his leg while moving a tv.  He was already out of spring practice due to a bone infection but now he will be lost for the entire upcoming season.  Coach Callahan said he hopes that Wilson will be able to receive a redshirt year due to the injury.

Starting offensive linemen Mike Huff blew out his achilles tendon while performing some speed drills in off season training.  Huff had surgery on the achilles yesterday so hopefully he will be back for the start of the season.  Sometimes it can take 9 months for it to heal completely though.

We wish Mike the best in his recovery.  With the injury to Huff, some of the younger playes like Keith Williams will see more time with the first and second teams for spring ball.

Marlon Lucky was released from the hospital in Lincoln today and thanks everyone for their support, prayers, and giving him the privacy that he and his family asked for.  He is also ready get back to class and join his Husker teammates for their winter workouts.

It appears to me that Marlon will be ready to go whenever he gets the permissions to start his workouts.  Great news for Marlon and Husker fans!

Marlon Lucky is still in this hospital but is now in stable condition reports say. According to deputy Lincoln fire chief Pat Borer, fire and rescue units were sent to 721 Lakeside Drive, Lucky’s apartment near Capitol Beach, at 8 p.m. Sunday to respond to an urgent medical emergency. A Lincoln Police Department spokesman confirmed the emergency involved Lucky. The player was transported to the hospital.

A press release from the Nebraska athletic department said Lucky was hospitalized “for undisclosed medical reasons.”

We will have more as soon as the University or the Lucky family releases details.

Lincoln police said they went to a Nebraska football player’s home Sunday night for a medical problem.

Police told KETV NewsWatch 7 that they went to Marlon Lucky’s address on Lakeside Drive for “a medical emergency” involving the Husker I-back. It happened at about 11:30 p.m., authorities said, but they did not elaborate about the nature of the problem.

This is all we really know at this time.  Will report later if anything new is released.
