Husker247 Podcast: QB concerns and coaching search chatter Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Plenty to talk about and the Husker247 Podcast managed to cover a big chunk of it in one big swoop.

On this episode nearly everything was covered. The talk actually starts with a brief couple minute discussion about Nebraska basketball and where things sit before diving into the Illinois game, what happened the second half, how the Huskers could approach the forthcoming week and more.

And before moving off the game the Husker247 crew chatted about what this all means for Trey Palmer and the work Nebraska’s defense did that could provide a little hope for the next few games on the schedule in November.

From there Mike Schaefer threw out a question regarding the coaching search. Each of Schaefer, Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson discussed who should tell Nebraska no and who represents a good fall back option if athletic director Trev Alberts receives a couple rejections.

The podcast ends with a conversation about Nebraska’s recruiting after the Huskers added running back Arnold Barnes to an intriguing running back room and if there could be another commit or two this month for the Huskers.

Sunday Side Session: That could've went better Oct 30, 2022

Show notes

Another Sunday. Another conversation about a Nebraska team that failed to seize an opportunity right in front of it.

On Saturday for almost a half the Huskers were in position to be holding a lead and threatening, maybe, to even push it to a two score lead against a ranked team.

After forcing a three-and-out and with good field position the Huskers had the perfect play. And it was dropped. Two plays later the game flipped. Two plays after that the score flipped. Thank you for playing.

What else happened in the Illinois game? Plenty and that’s why KLIN sports director Kaleb Henry joins on the Sunday Side Session to discuss what happened and what we should take from the loss.

Husker247 HypeCast: Illinois Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Hopefully everyone enjoyed another brief intermission because that’s the last time this season Nebraska won’t be playing on a Saturday.

And this Saturday the stage is set for the Huskers to duke it out with Illinois, the ranked team in the drivers seat for the Big Ten West, just two years removed from a coaching change.

Can Nebraska play spoiler? Can the Huskers slow down Chase Brown? Are we hyped yet?

This HypeCast features a regular guest in Kevin Sjuts, who reprises his role as the guy we go to when talking Illini football.

This year Sjuts has kept a close eye on the Illini and he provides a breakdown of some areas where the Huskers could be in trouble.

Additionally Michael Bruntz highlights the importance of Anthony Grant and what the Huskers have to do to get off the field against an Illinois offense that has chugged along all season.

Each, along with Mike Schaefer, make oddly specific predictions and provide a pick to click before making a final score prediction.

How do they see this one turning out? Tune in and find out.

Husker247 Podcast: Mickey or the field? Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

Husker247 gathered during the midpoint of Nebraska’s second bye week to talk about the Purdue game, Nebraska’s team as it heads into the final five contests, Mickey Joseph and where things sit with the recruiting.

The show opened with a conversation about Nebraska’s contest at Purdue, what Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson saw on the scene, how Trey Palmer kept getting open, how good Aidan O’Connell and Charlie Jones were and why Nebraska’s pass rush remains a pretty big concern.

From there Mike Schaefer posed a question to the group at large — right now if forced to wager is Nebraska’s next coach Mickey Joseph or the field?

This led to a discussion about Nebraska’s interim coach and what’s ahead for the Huskers, what likely has to happen for Joseph to keep the job and how winnable any of Nebraska’s final five games are against Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa.

Finally recruiting pops up as the trip talks about Lincoln East’s Malachi Coleman and his upcoming decision. Are the Huskers the heavy favorites here? Any surprise teams?

Sunday Side Session: Huskers can't overcome Purdue Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

Mike Schaefer and Nick Sehnert get together on Sunday morning to discuss Nebraska’s 43-37 loss to Purdue on Saturday night.

The conversation actually starts at the second half when the two discuss their confidence level that the Huskers had the ability to make it a game and/or potentially win.

From there discussion hit on Casey Thompson’s health, Nebraska’s offensive line issues and the big night from Trey Palmer.

There’s also a little coaching search talk and the upcoming game with Illinois.

Husker247 HypeCast: Purdue Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

Nebraska has a chance for its first three game winning streak since October 2016, when the Huskers started 7-0 ahead of a critical game against Wisconsin.

This effort at a trifecta looks radically different as the Huskers have battled back from a 1-3 start to evening things up and sitting at 3-3 overall following wins against Indiana and Rutgers.

That’s why it is the perfect time to get hyped for this game against Purdue on Saturday. The Husker247 crew plus Jack Mitchell talked through the game, the matchups and what oddly specific things could happen along the way.

Among the conversations had on Thursday morning was if Nebraska’s best offense is throwing deep passes to Trey Palmer, which Huskers are on the mend and which could be playing Saturday, if Nebraska can put together an attack against a strong Purdue defense and what to make of Casey Thompson’s season so far.

Then things switch to the defense where we learn what life might look like without Luke Reimer if the linebacker is unable to go in the middle, who’s going to stop Charlie Jones and if the Huskers are equipped to make Saturday night hell for Aidan O’Connell behind a beat up Boilermaker line.

Then the gang discusses oddly specific predictions which seem to be focused on turnovers and big plays for Nebraska, before selecting picks to click and providing game predictions. Did anyone dare take Nebraska or was the spread too big and the jump in competition too large for the group?

Huskers keep it rolling at Rutgers and coaching search talk Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

Nebraska football finished off its second straight win over the weekend, winning an ugly 14-13 decision over Rutgers on the road. Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson discuss what's working for the Huskers, how they can fix what isn't and the job Mickey Joseph has done as interim head coach. The guys also discuss the ongoing coaching search, which got a bit more interesting this wee after the Carolina Panthers fired former Temple and Baylor head coach Matt Rhule. Listen in.
