Pelini has won or shared four divisional titles in his first six seasons as head coach, including the 2012 Big Ten Legends Division crown. He guided NU to three straight Big 12 North Division crowns from 2008 to 2010, becoming the first coach in the history of the Big 12 to win at least a share of a division title in each of his first three years. He has guided Nebraska to at least nine wins each of his six seasons, and three 10-win seasons. Pelini is third on the Nebraska career victories list, trailing only Tom Osborne and Bob Devaney. Pelini took charge of the Huskers after a highly successful five-year run as a collegiate defensive coordinator, including orchestrating NU s defensive efforts in Pelini picked up his first college head coaching victory as NU s interim coach in the 2003 Alamo Bowl against Michigan State. Following his one season at Nebraska, Pelini served as the co-defensive coordinator at Oklahoma in 2004, helping the Sooners to the Big 12 title and BCS title game. He then followed with three seasons as the defensive coordinator at LSU. With the Tigers, Pelini led three consecutive defenses to No. 3 national rankings in total defense. He culminated his time in Baton Rouge by helping the Tigers to the 2007 national championship. In addition to his five seasons as an assistant at the collegiate level, Pelini coached in the NFL for nine seasons, serving three years each with the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. Pelini was a team captain and four-year letterman as a safety at Ohio State from 1987 to Pelini Stacks up Well with Peers In guiding Nebraska to a record, Pelini has put himself in impressive company. 4 Among schools currently in a power conference, Pelini is just the eighth head coach in college football history to win at least nine games in each of his first six seasons on the job at that school. The group includes three Nebraska coaches (Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Pelini). 4 When looking only at coaches in their first head coaching job at a major conference school, Pelini is one of only three to win nine games in each of his first six years, joining Osborne and Barry Switzer (Oklahoma). 4 Pelini was among a group of 18 FBS head coaches who were hired for their jobs beginning with the 2008 season. Pelini leads that group of 18 head coaches in victories over the past six-plus years with 62 wins. In fact, Pelini is one of only five coaches in the group of 18 still in the job he was hired for prior to the 2008 season. Pelini Continues Defensive Accomplishments at Nebraska At Nebraska, Pelini has continued his history of building championship defenses. In 2009, the Huskers led the nation in scoring defense and had the nation s best scoring defensive improvement (18.1 ppg). When combining statistics since the start of the 2009 season, NU ranks second in pass efficiency defense, fourth in passing defense, 15th in total defense and 18th in scoring defense. With Pelini s previous track record, the success of his Nebraska defenses is no surprise. 4Pelini led the 2003 Blackshirts to a school-record 47 takeaways, including a Big 12-record 32 interceptions, and finished second nationally in scoring defense, first in pass efficiency defense and 11th in total defense. 4Pelini guided LSU defenses to No. 3 national finishes in total defense each of his three seasons in Baton Rouge. 4In 153 games as a collegiate coach, Pelini s defenses have posted 10 shutouts, held the opposition to seven points or less 42 times and to 20 points or less 96 times. Husker Staff Has Only One Change for 2014 Season Pelini had just one change in his full-time coaching staff during the offseason. Charlton Warren joined the Huskers as secondary coach after spending the past nine seasons at Air Force, including the past two years as defensive coordinator. Warren worked directly with the defensive backs all nine years with the Falcons. He also earned a reputation as the Falcons top recruiter and coordinated Air Force s recruiting efforts from 2006 to Warren joined a defensive staff led by John Papuchis, who enters his third season as defensive coordinator and seventh year overall on the Husker staff. Ross Els in his fourth season as the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator, while defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski enters his third year at Nebraska. On offense, Tim Beck is in his fourth season as offensive coordinator and seventh season overall on Pelini s staff.

Fred Duda TOMMY ARMSTRONG JR Tom Sorley Turner Gill Blackshirts Continuing Momemtum From 2013 Late-Season Surge The Nebraska defense has looked solid through five games, helping Nebraska to a 5-0 record. The Huskers are allowing an average of yards per game to rank seventh in the Big Ten and 31st nationally. 4The Blackshirts have excelled against the pass, allowing opponents to complete just 50.3 percent of their passes, the second-best mark in the Big Ten. Nebraska ranks second in the Big Ten and 17th nationally in pass efficiency defense. 4The Blackshirts play early in the season is a continuation of a strong second half to the 2013 campaign. After struggling in the season s first four games of 2013, Nebraska was among the Big Ten s top defenses in conference play. In fact, over the past 14 games, Nebraska has held the opposition to less than 350 yards of total offense eight times, including four games of less than 300 yards. 4Opponents have completed less than 50 percent of their passes since the start of Big Ten Conference play last season. No Passing Zone Nebraska s Blackshirt defense has been among the nation s best since Bo Pelini took over as head coach in Nowhere is that more evident than in the Huskers stingy pass defense. When combining defensive numbers since the start of the 2009 season, Nebraska ranks second nationally in pass efficiency defense, trailing only Alabama. When looking at passing yards allowed per game, the Huskers are fourth behind only Alabama, Florida and LSU. 4Through five games, the 2014 Blackshirts have shown the same knack for making life difficult for opposing passers. Opposing quarterbacks have completed only 98-of-195 passes, just a 50.3 percent completion rate. 4In Big Ten Conference games last season, Nebraska led the league in opponent pass completion percentage, with Husker foes connecting on just 48.6 percent of their passes. Wisconsin was next best in that category at 52.1 percent opponent completion percentage. For all games, Nebraska ranked third in the Big Ten in opponent completion percentage at 54.1 percent. 4Nebraska led the nation in opponent pass completion percentage in 2012, and was first in the nation in pass efficiency defense in In addition to the success in passing defense, Nebraska ranks 15th in total defense over the past five seasons and is 18th nationally in scoring defense. Gregory Back To Full Strength to Torment Opposing Offenses Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory immediately showed he was one of the Big Ten s top newcomers in By season s end, Gregory reached another level and was one of the nation s top overall defenders. Gregory was a first-team All-Big Ten choice for his play and was also named the Nebraska Team Defensive MVP in his first season in the program. He is in line to contend for national honors in The 6-6, 245-pound Gregory was limited in the first three games. Gregory played a few snaps in the season opener before leaving for the day with a minor knee injury. Gregory had a procedure on the knee on Aug. 31, and missed the McNeese State game, before returning in a limited role at Fresno State. Gregory has returned in full force against Miami and Illinois. Against the Hurricanes, Gregory had two sacks for 25 yards in losses, forced a fumble and had two hurries. He also made seven total tackles. His play earned him the Lott Trophy IMPACT Player-of-the-Week award. Gregory continued his dominance against Illinois, recording 2.5 sacks for 17 yards, with seven total tackles. He also added three quarterback hurries. The Big Ten leader in sacks a year ago, Gregory currently leads the Big Ten and ranks fourth in the country with 1.12 sacks per game. 4With his 4.5 sacks this season, Gregory has 15 sacks in 17 career games played at Nebraska. Gregory is just 1.5 sacks from the top 10 on the NU career sack list, and he would be the only player on the list with less than three seasons of action. 4Gregory has had at least one sack in seven of the nine Big Ten games he has played during his career.

Huskers Look to Continue Tradition as Kicker U. Nebraska is breaking in a new place-kicker for the second straight season. True freshman Drew Brown earned the starting job after a strong fall camp. Brown has been solid through the first portion of the 2014 schedule. Brown connected on a 44-yard field goal on his first career attempt against Florida Atlantic and is 7-of-9 on the season. He has also hit 28-of-28 PAT attempts. Last year, senior Pat Smith transferred from Western Illinois and proceeded to connect on 12-of-13 field goals. Smith s success in 2013 continued a recent tradition of Nebraska boasting remarkable success in the field goal department. 4 Since Alex Henery took over as the starting place-kicker in 2007, NU kickers have connected on 129-of-151 field-goal attempts (.854). 4 Nebraska kickers in the same seven-season stretch have missed just four field goals from inside 40 yards, connecting on 82-of-86 attempts in that range, a remarkable 95.3 percent accuracy rate. 4 Twelve of the 22 field goal misses since 2007 have come on attempts of 50 yards or longer. Special Teams Off to Flying Start Nebraska made improved special teams a focus of its offseason work and the dividends have come early in NU has continued its recent tradition of being one of the nation s top kicking teams, but that is not the only area of success. 4 Junior punter Sam Foltz leads the Big Ten and ranks among the nation s leaders by averaging 45.7 yards per punt. Foltz has eight punts of 50 yards or more, while six have been downed inside the opposition s 20-yard line. 4 Behind Foltz s leg, NU ranks first in the Big Ten and eighth nationally in net punting at 43.7 yards per punt. 4 Nowhere is Nebraska s special teams improvement more evident than in the punt return game. True freshman De Mornay Pierson-El has emerged as a dangerous return threat, including an 86-yard touchdown return at Fresno State. The 86-yard return was the longest ever by a freshman and the seventh-longest in school history. It was also the longest in the FBS ranks in Pierson-El earned Big Ten Special Teams Player-of-the-Week honors for his effort at Fresno State. Pierson-El ranks third in the Big Ten in punt return average. 4 Through five games, Nebraska has a total of 234 punt return yards, including 17 returns for 239 yards by Pierson-El. Last season, Nebraska totaled 70 punt return yards for the entire season. Game 6 vs. Michigan State th Season of Nebraska Football
