Husker247 Postgame Pod: NU handles UNI Sep 15, 2024

Show notes

It wasn’t the prettiest game but Nebraska took care of business in a mostly efficient manner in its 34-3 win over Northern Iowa on Saturday.

Michael Bruntz and Mike Schaefer broke down how things looked on both sides of the ball on Saturday. The two started on defense where Nebraska struggled to get off the field early, but ultimately only allowed a single field goal in the contest and was playing better in the second half before the backups came on to finish things out.

Offensively the Huskers were efficient and crisp — until it wasn’t. Do the guys have any concerns there?

What about special teams? Anything notable on Saturday?

The breezy near 30-minute podcast concluded with a look ahead to Nebraska’s Friday night matchup against Illinois.

Sunday Side Session: Nebraska's defense is for real Sep 08, 2024

Show notes

Nebraska vanquished Colorado and now the season moves forward. Who better to have that discussion with than 1620 The Zone’s Connor Happer?

Happer and Mike Schaefer discuss Nebraska’s utterly dominant defense, how Tony White is far and away Nebraska’s most successful coordinator in a long time and why the defense seems to work so well on almost every level.

Then there’s some chatter about the offense and where it finds itself after an ugly, penalty filled second half.

Finally what to make of special teams and particular a kicking game where the Huskers can’t have much if any confidence in what is happening with Tristan Alvano.

Of note there’s a brief discussion about press box cookies that many listeners will never eat. Trust us. The cookies are good.
