Nebraska softball picked up another fall exhibition win Thursday night, shutting out in-state opponent Nebraska-Kearney 10-0.
“I thought we had really great energy. It’s fun to play a night game, it’s nice weather, and I thought our defense played really well.”
As he did Saturday, Mickey Joseph is recognizing the mistakes he felt he made Saturday against Oklahoma, and working towards improvement. “I got to do everything in my power to help the kids when we’re in a situation like that.”
It’ll be a challenge for Nebraska to turn things around in conference play given its struggles so far, but there are opportunities in a far-from-settled Big Ten.
Mickey Joseph opened his first Nebraska postgame press conference with the message that he’s not going to put blame on players or the rest of the coaching staff. Instead, he’s focusing on his role in helping the team improve moving forward.
“This comes back to me … I got to accept responsibility for it and I have.”
Mickey Joseph’s only other collegiate head coaching job came at Langston a decade ago. His assistants from the time believe in his ability to succeed as Nebraska’s interim.
“He’s gonna do a good job. I know he is, I have that feeling because like I said, he’s gonna put his heart into it.”
This week’s Drake’s Takes discusses the end of Scott Frost’s time at Nebraska, and the intrigue of what’s to come.
With Mickey Joseph stepping in as Nebraska’s head coach, offensive analyst Mike Cassano will take over the wide receiver room.
On the defensive side, defensive coordinator Erik Chinander will also now coach safeties while Travis Fisher focuses solely on cornerbacks and nickels.
Last week, Nebraska volleyball took part in an attendance record-setting match against Creighton.
Back at Pinnacle Bank Arena, the women’s basketball program is aiming for high attendance too, and there’s no time better than now given the team’s success and the growth of the sport.
In the wake of Scott Frost’s firing, Mickey Joseph was named the interim head football coach. Joseph — Nebraska’s first Black head coach in any sport — brings a range of experience and an “infectious” personality.
While one play can’t come close to describing Saturday night’s disaster, Kyle Vantrease’s go-ahead touchdown run sits as the top candidate for Play of the Game.
