Sean Callahan (Husker Online) May 15, 2024

Show notes

-Nebraska/Colorado is officially a night game (6:30pm, NBC, Sept. 7)…will the lead-up to that rival the 2014 Miami game?

-David Sanders Jr., the No. 1 OT in the country (out of Charlotte, NC), visited Lincoln this past weekend and said he had a great experience…do you believe Nebraska can start landing 5-star players again?

Where does Matt Rhule stack up amongst his peers as college football head coaches? 29th according to one outlet May 15, 2024

Show notes

-CBS Sports—the apparent kings of the offseason---are at it again, ranking the best coaches in college football. They start with 26-68, and will save the Top 25 for today.

-Husker fans won’t have to wait that long, as Matt Rhule shows up at 29^th in the rankings, down 2 spots from where he was at last year. He’s behind the likes of Willie Fritz (Houston), and Jonathan Smith (Michigan State); but ahead of Jedd Fisch, Mario Cristobal, Brent Venables and a few other big names..

-Also, welcome to NFL Schedule release day…something that no one could have ever predicted to be a big deal 10+ years ago. Jake is already pissed about a game announced for the Dolphins…

Show notes

-Circa Sports put out their overs/unders on Sunday, and has Nebraska soundly in a bowl game with their 7.5 number; most Husker fans feel that is attainable and not unreasonable

-Might have been a good year for the B1G West to stay in place for Nebraska’s sake with the numbers listed here…same as USC!
