Nebraska doesn’t seem to be anyone’s “most important game” anymore and that needs to change….is that day coming soon? May 13, 2025

Show notes

-CBS Sports’ Will Backus was going through each Top 25 team’s most pivotal game this season, and Nebraska didn’t make it as the answer for any team---which really isn’t a surprise

-It hasn’t meant a ton to beat Nebraska the last 8 years with just one bowl game to show in that timeframe…but maybe if they get to 9 wins this year, things will start to change for that narrative in 2026. But that’s a long waiting game

The national buzz around Dylan Raiola has gone away…is that a good thing when it comes to handling expectations? May 13, 2025

Show notes

-Nebraska fans still expect Raiola to be great and hopefully lift them to the top part of the conference—but his stats from his freshman year didn’t blow anyone away, including just 4 TDs his final 8 games

-We know he is talented and still is seen as a future NFL type of QB…how much can a lack of buzz compared to last year help him and the team, if at all?
