Nebraska’s football brand continues to be mocked nationally---can it ever become personal for the staff and team to overcome expectations? Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

-The Cover 3 podcast with Chip Patterson, Bud Elliott, Tom Fornelli and Danny Kanell was going through teams and their expectations

for the upcoming year, and Kanell said for Nebraska that “the N should be an M for mid” in regards to what the program is

-We keep saying it’s important for this program to do something unexpected because this narrative continues to surround from the

outsiders and it’s not healthy for anyone.

Some rule changes are in play ahead of the new football season including an update on targeting and…a Fair Catch Kick? Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

-It was announced yesterday that this year, any targeting foul that happens in the 2 nd half of a football game will NOT require a player to sit out

the first half of the next game---THANK YOU—but still will lead to disqualification from the game they are playing in if upheld

-Also, OPI is now a 10-yard penalty instead of 15-yards…and we have an interesting Fair Catch Kick rule---if a returner is interfered with when

trying to make a fair catch, the returning team has the right to kick an uncontested field goal at the spot of the foul and get 3 points!

Sip and other media laid eyes on Husker football in practice for the first time this Fall…what resonated with the crowd? Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

-Sip and media had about 20 minutes to watch a portion of practice yesterday---there were many reports about the running backs, where it

sounds like Mekhi Nelson and Isaiah Mozee have been getting the reps with the first team so far, followed by Jamal Rule…and there was a Tikey

Hayes sighting

-Per Husker Online’s report, new Husker LB Owen Chambliss elicited memories of Carlos Polk with his size and play…that’s quite a comparison

for a 20 minute viewing; did Sip see anything from the QBs at all?
