This is not an Iowa show---but there’s a stat out there that’s really hard to believe about the Hawkeyes this year compared to other teams across the country Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

-We know Iowa has scored 40+ points 3 times this year, which is a major kudos to new OC Tim Lester…but how about the stat laid out by CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli

-Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson has 20 TDs on the year---Iowa scored 22 TOTAL TDs last season! Johnson’s 20 TDs are more than each of these schools has on the year: Kentucky, Northwestern, Michigan State, Houston, UCLA and Houston

How much hope does it give the non-power B1G teams if Indiana were to make the College Football Playoff? Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

-We talk a lot about Indiana on this show---this week, that’s because there is a bye week, and because they host Michigan---but they also are the best story in college football

-If the Hoosiers do beat Michigan and push (or beat) Ohio State, it’s more ammo on the unbelievable job that Curt Cignetti is doing with the program…but is it reason for others who aren’t usually good in college football to believe they can not just be good---but possibly great?

-Is this all just lightning in a bottle at Indiana or could you see other schools usually in the cellar rise up and become powers in one season?

You probably missed it because you were watching election results yesterday, but the first College Football Playoff rankings came out last night….where do the B1G teams stand? Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

-In an apparent study to see how well sports does vs. election results, ESPN and company decided that last night was the right time to unveil their initial rankings for the playoff. Interesting decision.

-How high is Indiana in the committee’s eyes? How much different is this whole equation with 12 teams compared to 4, especially in the first unveiling?

-How much will this change in the next few weeks ahead?

Sean Callahan (Husker Online) Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

-A day after Matt Rhule said he’d be looking for some outside perspective for the team in its bye week, they add Dana Holgorsen as an offensive analyst. Is he OC-in-waiting or what do you view this as?

-Dylan Raiola hasn’t looked very good for the majority of the last month…what you noticed when watching him compared to in September?

-Are we back to not being able to trust Nebraska’s defense with 3 games to go?

So much for a quiet sports news cycle on Election Day---Nebraska adds Dana Holgorsen on staff as an offensive analyst Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

-Soon after our show ended yesterday, news broke that Nebraska was hiring former West Virginia and Houston head coach Dana Holgorsen as an offensive analyst

-The last time Holgorsen was on the sidelines was for a 4-8 Houston Cougars team last year, and he was shown the door. He’s no doubt had offensive success throughout his career…what can he help incorporate this year still or is this just OC-in-waiting for next year?

-Does this move seem like desperation and grasping at straws or is it something you can get behind?
