After back to back 10 win seasons the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be heading to the Big Ten Conference in 2011. The Cornhuskers have many players to replace from there 2010 squad. Some on the offensive of the ball are Zac Lee-QB, Roy Helu-IB, Niles Paul-WR, Mike McNeill-TE, Keith Williams-OG, Ricky Henry-OG, D.J. Jones-OT, Alex Henery-K/P. On the defensive side of the ball they will miss Pierre Allen-DE, Eric Hagg-NB, Prince Amukamara-CB, Rickey Thenarse-SS, DeJon Gomes-FS.
Nebraska will have some talent coming back as well. They will have quarterback Taylor Martinez along with Rex Burkhead. The defense will also bring back some good layers, but they have many holes to fill. Nebraska's biggest problem will be adjusting to Big Ten football. It is different than the Big 12 and there will be a period of adjustment. The key for the Cornhuskers may be a healthy Taylor Martinez for a whole season.
