Matt Rhule says Nebraska won’t have season captains, but instead will have game captains…is there a right or wrong way to determine leadership on the team? Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

-Rhule said Saturday that the Huskers won’t do season captains as they are learning who the actual leaders are as the season goes on, and will instead pick captains for each game

-We have already seen in some element a version of captains with the single-digit jersey numbers in Fall camp, but it’s not truly a ‘captain’ label

ESPN’s Football Power Index is back with percentage chances of Nebraska winning each game Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

-Nebraska hasn't been one to have big offensive plays in training camp and the practices leading up to the Minnesota game. How difficult will it be for the offense to not have an explosive receiver like Trey Palmer?

-Who doesn’t love a good numbers segment? The FPI calculator has Nebraska around a 6-6 record, based on the percentage chance of winning games.

-Some notable numbers: a 29.7% chance at Minnesota; 68.7% chance at Colorado; 15.5% vs. Michigan; 34.8% vs. Illinois; 27.1% at Michigan State; 22.3% vs. Wisconsin; and 44% vs. Iowa

Deion Sanders got MAD this week in practice…but this time, it wasn’t at media…it was for what his players didn’t do Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

-Apparently on Tuesday at practice for Colorado, there was a fight between a few players---both offense and defense—which happens in Fall camp

-Prime wasn’t mad about the fight happening…he was mad that not everyone on the team jumped in to fight!

-Apparently, Prime saw a couple players walk off the field and avoid the fight but he told them, “if anyone fights, we ALL fight”….anyone have a problem with that or is that good coaching?

We’ve seen average QB play be enough for some schools in the B1G over the years…is that possible at Nebraska to win, though? Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

-We make fun of Iowa a lot because of their offense last year, but they still were an 8-win team that was a win away from making the B1G title game

-Same goes for Wisconsin---they had very mediocre play from QBs like Alex Hornibrook and Graham Mertz in past years, and still were able to easily make bowl games and compete in the conference

-It feels like there’s a huge dependence on QB at Nebraska…is that something that can change or is the case going forward?
