How concerned are Husker fans about the linebacker group this upcoming season? May 08, 2024

Show notes

-Inside linebackers coach Rob Dvoracek spoke this weekend during a break at a youth football camp in Omaha, and said that right now they take everything one day at a time before focusing more on results this Fall

-Nebraska’s inside LBs last year ranked 3^rd through 6^th in tackles on the team, but 2 of those players (Luke Reimer/Nick Henrich) have moved on, leaving Javin Wright and John Bullock in the group

-Nebraska’s d-line is very good but they need the LBs to be very good again in this tough conference…what’s your belief in the unit overall?

All ABOARD the 2024 Hype Train for Nebraska Football: FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt has the Huskers at No. 22 in his post-Spring rankings May 07, 2024

Show notes

-What do we know about Sip---he loves lists and he loves rankings---so Way-Too-Early lists are a thing of beauty, especially when they provide positivity

-FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt put the Huskers at No. 22---just behind Arizona and just ahead of Kansas---in his rankings heading into the summer. The schedule is gettable but it’s still (likely) a true freshman starting QB on a team that hasn’t made a bowl game since 2016

-Is a lot of this the past success that Matt Rhule has had in Year 2 of his college football programs?

-It was a busy Saturday for Nebraska’s head coach, talking to Husker Online and then speaking to Omaha’s Youth Football Camp (grades 3-8) at Norris Middle School

-Rhule said if there truly is an Omaha/Lincoln divide (with Creighton/UNL that seems fair to have a divide), he wants it be cohesive…is that possible?

-Also, the Colorado Rockies snapped an incredibly pathetic streak on Saturday in MLB…31 games of trailing at some point in a game….and an update on Nebraska baseball’s series in Minnesota
