Nebraska football: Why Saturday at Maryland might shape the Huskers' second half of this season Oct 09, 2025

Show notes

Thursday is all about the travel for Nebraska football. The Huskers will be on a plane to Maryland after a morning practice in Lincoln. They’ll spend about 48 hours, in fact, on the East Coast before kickoff Saturday. How might their adjusted schedule impact readiness to play? And just what does this game in Week 7 mean for Nebraska in the second half of the season? It could be one of those pivotal moments.

We take a step back for a moment to gaze at the mess unfolding with Bill Belichick at North Carolina. We’re also settling on keys to victory for Nebraska this week. And we unveil our picks in this game in addition to two others in the Big Ten and nationally. Join us.

Nebraska football: Anomaly or concern? Dana Holgorsen on the Huskers’ offensive lapse Oct 08, 2025

Show notes

We’re deep into our preview of the Nebraska football visit on Saturday to the land of crabcakes and turtles. Wednesday on the pod, Connor and Mitch discuss appearances in front of the media from OC Dana Holgorsen, DC John Butler and several Huskers. Holgorsen hasn’t experienced a situation as dire as what he felt Saturday against Michigan State in 12 years. We look back at 2013 – and at Saturday, when Dylan Raiola and his teammates managed to dig Nebraska out of a hole. How did it happen from Dana’s point of view?

Checking in, too, with Butler, the “East Coast guy,” who has an affinity for Nebraska’s ability to play pass defense in 2025. Offensive lineman Henry Lutovsky is hearing from people in his DMs. Don’t DM the players. We have thoughts on that situation. Join us.

Nebraska football: The details matter. Just ask Matt Rhule Oct 07, 2025

Show notes

It’s Tuesday after a Monday with Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule in game week for the Huskers. In today’s episode, Rhule provides his assessment of Nebraska’s play this season in the areas that produce hidden yardage – special teams, penalties and, of course, turnovers. Nebraska is playing well through five games in all of these areas. It’s almost like they figured out the formula to win in the Big Ten.

Also, Rhule’s got plenty to consider about the Huskers’ travel as they head east for their first true road-game experience of this football season. Fortunately for the coach, Nebraska possesses all the resources needed and staff help to make it a seamless experience. That’s not always been the case for Rhule. We finish with some talk about a few defensive players who are playing at a high level. Dare we say an All-Big Ten level? Join us.

Nothing to prove? Inside Nebraska’s football mindset after four wins in five games Oct 06, 2025

Show notes

Nebraska football is headed out on the road – a real road trip as a visiting team – for a two-game stretch here in October that will define plenty about this 2025 season for coach Matt Rhule’s team. What’s the mindset? On Saturday as the Huskers rallied in the second half to beat Michigan State, the theme had something to do with a ferocious wolf. Connor and Mitch try to make sense of it as we evaluate Rhule’s assessment that the Huskers have nothing to prove to anyone.

Is mad Dylan Raiola the best Dylan Raiola? We look at the QB’s temperament on Saturday and hear from the coach that he likes to see Raiola with “blood in his eyes.” Also, we spend a few minutes on Penn State after its awful loss at UCLA. And we take a first look at Maryland, set to host the Huskers on Saturday. Join us.

REACTION: Nebraska football finds late life, resilience in first Big Ten win Oct 05, 2025

Show notes

We’re here on this Sunday to dissect a 38-27 win for Nebraska football against Michigan State. The Huskers struggled offensively through more than half of their meeting with the Spartans on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. But when Matt Rhule’s team needed it, Dylan Raiola and crew came through.

They did it with special teams. They did it with defense. They did it with timely plays on offense. It was complementary football. Isn’t this what we’ve been waiting for? Re-train yourself, Nebraska fans, on the reality of the Big Ten. Wins don’t come easily. This one certainly did not. Join us for a full breakdown.

Nebraska mailbag: Will Dylan Raiola avoid sacks? And will Dana Holgorsen get tricky? Oct 03, 2025

Show notes

The Friday mailbag is here. We’re answering questions about Dylan Raiola’s ability to beat the pass rush and the Huskers’ run-pass split? Should they just go all in on the aerial attack? Where does Matt Rhule rank on the Big Ten scale of conservative to high risk? There’s another question about using TJ Lateef in short yardage. How good is the Nebraska O-line?

What’s fixable for the Huskers this year, and what’s not? Do we get insulted by the comments? And finally, what are the challenges that Michigan State poses for Nebraska’s Blackshirts on Saturday? Join us for a fun finish to the week.

Nebraska-Michigan State crossover: How big is Saturday for both Big Ten football programs? Oct 01, 2025

Show notes

Matt Sheehan of Locked On Spartans visits with Mitch on this Big Ten football crossover podcast ahead of Michigan State’s visit to Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Are the Spartans playing with house money here in this second conference game of coach Jonathan Smith’s second season? How much of a threat is the running ability of QB Aidan Chiles to a Nebraska defense that is struggling to stop explosive running plays?

Matt grills Mitch on Matt Rhule, Dylan Raiola and the Huskers. And Mitch returns the favor. Is the Michigan State pass defense as bad as it looks on paper? Where does Nebraska rank in importance for Michigan State in this four-game October stretch? We know it’s not at the top. Join us for a breakdown of the Huskers and the Spartans.

Straight talk from Nebraska coach Matt Rhule: ‘No one is coming to rescue you' Sep 30, 2025

Show notes

Week 6 is well underway at Nebraska football headquarters. The Huskers and coach Matt Rhule have turned their attention toward Michigan State. But they’re also looking inward. Rhule, in his meeting with the media on Monday, challenged his players to take a punch and swing back.

Rhule said there’s “no time to wallow in self pity” as six games in six weeks await Nebraska. He was plain and to the point. Connor and Mitch are here to give their thoughts on the coach’s comments and continue with the preview of the matchup between the Huskers and the Spartans. Join us.
