  5. Nebraska’s offense wasn’t good enough in October…what can they do to function better in the colder month of November?

    Show notes

    -Nebraska’s offensive output in October was 17 points vs. Indiana; 14 points at Oregon; and 10 points vs. Washington after a bye week

    -The defense kept the team in all of those games, but still resulted in losses. Anthony Colandrea is paid well to lead this team to wins

    which have been a problem in November….what needs to change in the gameplan to allow this offense to succeed?

  7. Nebrasketball began their season last night vs. Le Moyne at PBA…did they look the part of a team that is on the fringe of being ranked?

    Show notes

    -The Huskers entered last night’s game as 33.5 point favorites…and memories of last year’s 20-0 start may have come back in fans’

    heads at some point…what did it look like at PBA? Big crowd or not?

    -Was Pryce Sandfort looking like an All-American? Did we get good Braden Frager or bad Braden Frager? More thoughts…

  8. Matt Rhule addressed media yesterday as the team heads into Illinois preparation…what did we learn from the head coach after another blown 4 th quarter lead?

    Show notes

    -Rhule faced the media on Monday just days after Nebraska lost their third straight game, blowing 4 th quarter leads in all of them…was

    he taking blame this week or pointing blame?

    -Was there any addressing of why Anthony Colandrea opted to not talk to media on Saturday…and any comments on his

    announcement of return next season?

  11. Can Nebraska really keep everything in place the rest of the season after a continued same result the last 3 games?

    Show notes

    -Fans have been calling for someone to be fired—not sure who, but wanting some sort of change---and it seems unlikely that will

    happen. Dana Holgorsen’s offense has completely fallen apart in terms of scoring, and the defense plays great but can’t be perfect and

    has been asked to be

    -Your next 4 games are ALL winnable (Husker are 6.5 point favorites at Illinois), but the overwhelming sentiment from fans here is that

    they’ll continue to find incredible ways to lose football games….what exactly can happen to change the dynamic of the season?

  13. Anthony Colandrea’s return for next year was announced Friday, when we were told by Matt Rhule last week we wouldn’t see that type of announcement here…was it a distraction at all on Saturday?

    Show notes

    -Fans were mostly excited to hear about Colandrea’s return announcement on Friday as they expected to see him and the Husker

    offense have success vs. Washington---and instead, he threw 3 INTs (one a game-sealing pick-6) and just tried to do too much all night

    -Rhule said last Monday that we wouldn’t see an announcement at Nebraska like we saw from Jesse Legree at Oregon State….was their

    pressure to have a big game by Colandrea instead of just doing whatever it took to win the game?

  14. If Nebraska fans ever needed a distraction, it’s right now---and Nebrasketball can do that tonight

    Show notes

    -Nebraska opens its season tonight vs. Le Moyne at PBA (6:30pm, BTN+) as a 34.5 point favorite…it would really be nice to see them

    take care of business and not mess around vs. a lesser team

    -Exhibition season was a bit strange for Nebraska with a 1-2 record, but now things really count starting tonight….crowd expectation?

  16. Welcome to Hell---Nebraska can’t get out of their own way AGAIN…falling somehow, some way, to Washington---17-10--- another unfathomable loss by Matt Rhule’s team

    Show notes

    -What did Rob Aurich say on Tuesday? “When we don’t beat ourselves, we’re pretty hard to beat.” The problem for Nebraska is….THEY

    ALWAYS BEAT THEMSELVES AND DID IT AGAIN

    -Nebraska dominated in yardage all game long and led 7-3 in the 4 th quarter with a 1 st and goal at the 5-yard line…only to have a delay

    of game (!!!!), and go backwards from there, leading to another missed field goal by Kyle Cunanan---surprise, surprise

    -Washington did what teams do against Nebraska---wait them out and beat them at the end. Anthony Colandrea was miserable, Dana

    Holgorsen’s playcalling was baffling, and the Huskers have no idea how to close out a football game. Welcome to Hell.

  19. Nebraska and Washington feel like two programs going in different directions as 2026 rolls along…isn’t that why it is so important to win this game for validation?

    Show notes

    -It’s easy to say for any given game it’s the “biggest game in the Matt Rhule era”…that phrase is uttered often and even in losses---he’s

    still here. Yes, it’s a massive game for setting the table for what is hopefully a very strong end to the year…

    -But it’s also more about what teams like Iowa did to Washington and the losses Nebraska has had. Washington has serious questions

    at QB and RB (and defense), and Nebraska has less concerns in general and is at home…can they land a punch early and have a decisive

    win? Couldn’t that set a tone for November…a comfortable win?
