Locked On Nebraska - Daily Podcast on the Nebraska Cornhuskers

Latest Episodes:

REACTION: Nebraska falls flat at Minnesota. What areas need immediate attention? Oct 19, 2025

Show notes

With a college football Saturday to sit back and digest that 24-6 Nebraska loss Friday night at Minnesota, it’s not looking any better for Matt Rhule and the Huskers than two days ago. Mitch is here on this Sunday, flying solo as we await Connor’s Monday return to the pod, to try to make sense of what happened in Minneapolis.

The offensive line is not responsible for everything that went wrong as Nebraska allowed nine sacks. But it’s the primary group that deserves blame. Does something need to happen now to get help for O-line coach Donovan Raiola? Mitch is looking at PJ Fleck’s mastery of Nebraska. What does the Minnesota coach do – and why does it always work? We’re talking, too, about Dylan Raiola’s frustrating day in and out of the pocket.

And were the Huskers and their coach distracted in the days leading up to this kickoff? Yes or no, something important was off in Lincoln last week. Join us for a show full of reactions.

A week for Nebraska football like nothing we’ve seen, with guest Dirk Chatelain Oct 17, 2025

Show notes

Game day is here. Nebraska football visits Minnesota on Friday night. The Huskers have seemingly set aside distractions, but conversations about Matt Rhule and Penn State continue to fester. With Connor out of the area, Mitch is joined on this Friday episode by Dirk Chatelain, the award-winning writer and author, formerly of the Omaha World-Herald.

Dirk gives his perspective on the past few days at Nebraska and the firing of James Franklin, which led to speculation that Rhule is a top candidate to take over at his alma mater. What angles would Dirk like to see explored? How has Rhule so endeared himself to Nebraska fans in two-plus years? What scenario does Dirk envision for the next two months? And we’re talking about what’s ahead for Nebraska volleyball.

Nebraska football mailbag: Could the Huskers and their fans survive another coaching search? Oct 16, 2025

Show notes

It’s a Thursday mailbag episode – 24 hours early this week – with the Huskers in action on Friday night at Minnesota. Some of you have told us to stop with the conversation about Matt Rhule and Penn State job opening. And then many others asked us questions about the situation. So here we are, answering all that you’ve got.

What would a CFP run at Nebraska do for Penn State’s ability to lure the Huskers’ coach? We all know he’s not taking it, right? (No, actually we do not.) Why isn’t PJ Fleck a candidate for the Nittany Lions? How competitive are the Huskers really in NIL spending? At what spots might Nebraska need to look in the portal after this season? And do we ever lose control of our emotions in the press box?
