The discussion evolved into areas where the Huskers could continue to add or haven’t quite hit the mark through the portal.

Things start on defense and the two discuss how things look for John Butler moving forward, the performances of some of the younger players in the Pinstripe Bowl and what concerns exist moving forward.

Then the two dive deep into Nebraska’s offensive picture, each agrees there’s a lot to like with the pass catchers and Emmett Johnson has solidified himself, but there’s still some question about what the offensive line might look like and, of course, what kind of step forward Dylan Raiola makes.

Finally the two finish up discussing or ranting about Nebraska’s special teams. How is it addressed and does Matt Rhule have a plan to avoid another abysmal year in the third phase?

Schaefer touches on Nebraska’s play overall, what stood out on both sides of the ball and finishes with thoughts on special teams and why the Huskers can’t go through another season with such inept play in the third phase.
