Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice drink beer, talk football, and might swear from time to time. But, you can count on an entertaining, honest conversation that pulls no punches when it comes to praise or criticism.
If there's one thing Dr. Rob Zatechka knows a lot about, well, it's actually two things. Medicine and offensive line play. For the sake of this podcast, we will focus on the O-Line.
Welcome to another edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by Strategic Solutions Sanitation.
Dr. Rob points out there is a lot to be optimistic about for a unit that has struggled over the last couple of coaching staffs.
This year's team has three incoming transfers and is expected to start or see significant playing time up front. But Dr. Rob says to hold your horses and expect the pipeline's return. He admits there is talent, but talent may not be as valuable as time! Listen to the episode for the full breakdown.

Welcome back to the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, now presented by Strategic Solutions.
A sure sign that the season is right around the corner, Big 10 Media Days take place this week. Six teams on the stage on Tuesday, six teams on Wednesday, and six more, including Nebraska, on Thursday.
Travis Justice and Former Nebraska All-American Dr. Rob Zatechka don't expect to learn a lot from the made-for-TV/Internet event. But they are interested in hearing what Big Ten Commissioner Tony Pettiti has to say about the "Save College Sports Act," which is not expected to pass before the November elections.
Pettiti isn't expected to be as straightforward as his SEC counterpart Greg Sankey, but it's no secret the Big 10 is opposed to the "Save College Sports Act" in its current form.
Matt Rhule will take the stage on Thursday; the ESPN Power Index has Nebraska finishing 7-5 on the season. If the Huskers do finish with this record, does it put Matt Rhule on the hot seat?
As we get closer to the season starting, Travis and Rob talk about fan apathy setting in for the Huskers. Is it really happening? This has been the least talked-about off-season they can remember for years.

After years of talking about it, the renovation of Memorial Stadium is finally going to take place! On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka talk about the $600 million project.
The project will bring major changes to the 103-year-old stadium. The south stadium will be completely demolished and rebuilt. This will create a 360-degree concourse and more fan amenities. Capacity will drop to 80,000 but will include 20,000 additional chairback seats and a 7,000-seat student section.
Change does not come without complaints. People are unhappy with the project's price tag. They are also upset about the decision to eliminate legacy season tickets. As Travis and Dr. Rob Discuss, this is all part of doing business in today’s world of college football. Stealing a line from “The Godfather,” it’s not personal, it’s business.
The podcast covers a lot of ground, including the proposed 5-for-5 eligibility rule. The Big Ten’s record payout to schools from the first full year of the new media contract.
Also, the dangers to the transfer portal. We witnessed it firsthand recently with Brendan Sorsby at Texas Tech, who checked into a residential treatment facility for gambling addiction. The portal's shotgun marriages do not give teams enough time to conduct background checks on players. Unlike the NFL, which has a security team in place that knows everything possible about a player before the draft.

On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka are tapping into their artistic side.
Our guest is Ashley Spitsnogle. You may not know her name, but if you are a Husker fan, you have definitely seen her art. Some of you may even own one of her prints, or if you have a lot of money, an original painting.
Ashley is an officially licensed Husker Artist who has captured the hearts, minds, and emotions of Husker Nation.
Spitsnogle grew up on a farm in Odell, Nebraska. She attended Doane College and studied art. A lifelong Husker fan, she developed a passion for painting the Big Red after doing a live painting at a Teammates event. After that, opportunities kept presenting themselves, and her business continued to grow.
You can find prints of her work at Husker Hounds or on her website. Decorate your man cave with spectacular pieces of Memorial Stadium, or some of the best players and coaches in Husker History.
Getting to this point in her career has been a journey that she shares on this episode. Here’s a hint: becoming a licenced Husker artist is not as easy as one would think. There’s a lot of red tape, and now with Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), it’s even more complicated. But for her, and you, it’s all worth it.

In this episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka are joined by former Husker sharpshooter Cary Cochran to celebrate a historic milestone: Nebraska’s deep run into the Sweet 16. Recorded on the eve of their high-stakes matchup against Iowa in Houston, the conversation captures a fan base and a program operating on "house money," balanced by the anxiety of a storied regional rivalry.
The conversation centers on the transformative culture under Fred Hoiberg, a coach whose reputation has soared to the point where Cochran jokes they might soon build him a statue in Lincoln. The trio discusses how this particular roster has defied the "curse" of Nebraska basketball by embracing a brand of unselfishness that overcomes their lack of traditional first-round NBA talent. Cochran highlights the team's recent hot streak, noting that when the Huskers shoot as well as they have lately, specifically, their performance against teams like Vanderbilt, they become a threat to anyone in the country.
A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the tactical and emotional weight of the Sweet 16 appearance. Cochran posits that Nebraska's cohesiveness is their greatest strength, allowing it to play at a level that "out-shoots" more talented opponents. He predicts a double-digit victory over the Hawkeyes, citing that Nebraska played poorly in its previous loss at Iowa and still nearly won, whereas it dominated at home.
The conversation also touches on the broader implications of this success for the program's future. The hosts and Cochran speculate that this tournament run will finally trigger the necessary NIL investment in basketball, a move they deem essential if the program hopes to keep its developed talent from being poached by higher-paying schools. Amidst the excitement of being just "40 minutes from the Final Four," the episode serves as a tribute to a program that has finally traded its history of first-round exits for a seat at the "big kids' table" of college basketball.

The Husker Doc Talk Podcast with Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka welcomes a guest Husker fans are going to enjoy: former Nebraska fullback Barrett Liebentritt.
Before the interview even starts, the guys go on a classic Doc Talk tangent—this time sparked by Rob sending Travis a “strange times, strange places” text… from the campus of Grand View University in Des Moines. That turns into a fun (and surprisingly informative) conversation about NAIA athletics, wrestling weekends, and why Rob is basically fluent in Olympic and Big Ten wrestling while Travis is… not.
Then it’s time for the main event: Barrett’s journey from being a Husker fan who wanted Nebraska first, to landing at Notre Dame during the weirdest recruiting era imaginable—COVID. Barrett explains what it was like to choose a high-level football path without camps, visits, or the normal recruiting process… and how his first real look at Notre Dame’s facilities happened when he literally showed up for school.
From there, Barrett gets candid about the reality of being a walk-on at Notre Dame, the culture divide between scholarship guys and walk-ons under Brian Kelly, and the “wait… that’s it?” moment when Kelly left for LSU—an exit Barrett says felt abrupt, cold, and very “business first.” On the flip side, he shares why Marcus Freeman made such a strong impression and why players were fired up when Freeman took over.
The heart of the episode is Barrett’s decision to come back home. He breaks down what pulled him to Nebraska—Matt Rhule’s vision, the idea of using a true fullback, and the chance to wear the N. The conversation expands into the modern state of college football: NIL, the portal, roster limits, and whether development-first coaching can still win in today’s “plug-and-play” world.
And because this is Husker Doc Talk, you also get a ton of personality: ACT score trash talk, “stab lab” stories from dental school, beer-at-10-a.m. debate, and Barrett’s future plans as he pursues dentistry at UNMC—plus the sobering reality of the injury that ended his playing career early.
It’s funny, real, and packed with insight on football, life, and the changing college landscape—exactly what Doc Talk does best.

Nebraska fans finally get the official 2026 football schedule, and on Episode 3 of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka waste no time breaking down what it really means: this thing is a gauntlet.
They debate how much the order of games matters (Rob’s “one game at a time” mindset vs. the reality of how fans live and die with back-to-back matchups), then land on a blunt early takeaway: five wins might be the expectation, and seven should be celebrated considering the slate. The guys walk through the opening stretch (including why North Dakota could be sneakier than people think), the early Big Ten swing at Michigan State, and the brutal middle chunk featuring heavyweights like Indiana, Oregon, and Washington.
From there, the conversation turns into a larger debate about modern roster building, how portal “rankings” can be fool’s gold, why production matters more than stars, and why recruiting services seem to magically boost ratings the second a player commits to a blueblood. It’s funny, cynical, and painfully familiar to anyone who’s followed college football for more than five minutes.
The back half hits two hot-button topics: Mike Eckler leaving for USC and what it means for Nebraska’s special teams momentum, and then the one that gets Rob fully fired up, Nebraska adding women’s flag football instead of women’s wrestling. Rob doesn’t hold back, and the episode ends with an all-time closing statement: “Flag football is not football.”
Watch on YouTube, drop your takes in the comments, and buckle up… because 2026 isn’t for the faint of heart.

Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka welcome back one of the most iconic names in Nebraska football history—Dave Rimington—for his first appearance on the show since 2018. And it doesn’t take long to remember why a conversation with Rimington always turns into a mix of laughs, perspective, and some real talk about the state of college athletics.
The guys kick things off on a bitter-cold January night—while the national championship game is literally starting in the background—then go straight into the origin story of Husker Doc Talk and Rimington’s role in helping get the podcast off the ground in the first place. From there, it’s classic Rimington: quick wit, candid honesty, and a few “only Dave” stories (including a deep dive into AI prompts, Facebook ads, and whether that Tai Chi chair guy is even real).
But the heart of the episode is a thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion on what college football has become in the NIL + transfer portal era. Rimington and Zatechka unpack what “commitment” even means anymore—for players and coaches—why the portal timing feels broken, and how the sport is drifting toward a professional model without the guardrails the NFL actually has. The conversation also hits on local recruiting, development vs. “buying” older talent, and why the current system feels unsustainable for programs trying to build the old-fashioned way.
There’s also plenty of Nebraska and Omaha pride: Rimington is back in town for the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rococo Theatre, honoring this year’s winner, Logan Jones (Iowa), and the episode highlights how the event has grown into a first-class weekend while raising millions for cystic fibrosis research over the years. Rimington shares what it’s like to still have his name attached to a major national award—and why maintaining the quality of the event still matters to him.
Add in some NFL war stories, a little Memorial Stadium beer talk, a wrestling sidebar (because of course), and a heartfelt remembrance of Jim Hartung, and you’ve got an episode that feels like catching up with an old friend—who just happens to be a legend.

Welcome to Husker Doc Talk Podcast — 2026, Episode 1, and the first show of the new year kicks off the only way this crew knows how: a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and a deep dive into Husker football—plus some side quests that only happen when you put Travis Justice, Dr. Rob Zatechka, and a former Blackshirt in the same room.
This episode is “about 20 years in the making,” as Travis and Rob finally welcome former Nebraska standout Zach Potter to the show.
Potter’s visit turns into a fascinating walk through his career arc—from highly recruited Creighton Prep athlete, to Nebraska defender, to a four-year NFL run with the Jacksonville Jaguars after a whirlwind, last-second position switch that had him signing a contract, hopping a flight, and suddenly playing tight end in the Florida humidity. Zach shares what it’s really like living practice-squad life, grinding all day at the facility, trying to survive roster math, and navigating the less-glamorous realities fans rarely hear about—like taxes in multiple states, paying for your own tickets, and living out of an extended-stay hotel because you’re not sure if you’ll even be employed next week.
Of course, the show also revisits one of the all-time debates: should Zach have played offensive line? Rob breaks down why he saw “natural tackle” traits in Potter years ago, while Zach explains why he chose the Blackshirt path—and why he has zero regrets. The conversation also gets real about the Callahan-to-Pelini transition, what it feels like when staffs change, why “losing a locker room” often comes down to one guy freelancing, and how quickly you have to re-prove yourself when a new coach walks in.
And because it’s Husker Doc Talk, the episode doesn’t stop there: NIL and the transfer portal, the value vs.-money debate, Nebraska’s portal approach, and even a quick tour through the “upside down world” where Nebraska is rolling in basketball while Indiana is suddenly a football power.

The Husker Doc Talk Podcast wraps up the year with a festive, wide-ranging post-Christmas episode that blends holiday humor, sponsor shoutouts, and deep college football analysis—exactly what Husker fans have come to expect from Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka.
The episode starts off lighthearted, and then the conversation turns serious with an in-depth breakdown of one of the biggest coaching stories of the season: Kyle Whittingham’s stunning move from Utah to Michigan. Travis and Dr. Rob examine the timing of the decision, the rumored friction with Utah’s administration, and what it means for Utah’s bowl preparation. They also debate whether Whittingham’s departure removes emotional fuel—or creates new motivation—for the Utes as they prepare to face Nebraska.
The discussion naturally pivots to Nebraska football and the upcoming bowl game in Las Vegas. With key players opting out and a new coaching staff still settling in, expectations are tempered. Dr. Rob explains why this bowl game should be viewed through a developmental lens rather than a win-or-else moment, outlining Nebraska’s current roster gaps, particularly along the offensive and defensive lines. The two also explore how the transfer portal and NIL have reshaped roster construction—and why player evaluation and development matter more than ever.
Quarterback play, portal strategy, and long-term program building dominate the second half of the episode, including a thoughtful debate about Nebraska’s future at QB and whether stability might be more valuable than chasing a one-year rental. The episode closes with a broader look at college football’s shifting power structure, comparing development-first programs like Iowa with big-money NIL schools, and questioning whether the Big 12 can truly keep pace with the Big Ten and SEC.
It’s a candid, thoughtful, and entertaining year-end conversation—equal parts football breakdown, industry insight, and holiday camaraderie—making Episode 23 a perfect way to close out 2025 on the Husker Doc Talk Podcast.

It’s a Christmas edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, and Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka are in full post season form—mixing college football playoff takes, Husker reality checks, and the kind of off-the-rails holiday banter that feels like hanging out with your buddies in the basement… if your buddies also happened to break down offensive line technique and playoff selection politics.
Episode 22 opens with the guys reacting to the first round of the College Football Playoff—what they watched, what surprised them, and what didn’t. From the “coulda/shoulda” playoff arguments (and the clickbait that fuels them) to the teams that looked legit, Travis and Rob debate what the games actually told us. They talk Alabama’s situation under Kalen DeBoer, the pressure of rebuilding in the NIL/portal era, and why judging coaches the same way we used to just doesn’t work anymore.
Then the conversation shifts into one of the most hot-button topics in the sport: playoff expansion. Is 12 enough? (Rob says no.) Should it be 16? 24? Travis says bring it on—especially if it means more on-campus playoff games, which both guys agree are the best thing to happen to the sport in a long time. They dig into the ripple effects of automatic qualifiers, the shifting criteria coming next year, and what it means for group-of-five teams going forward.
From there, it’s back to Lincoln. Travis asks the question Husker fans have been asking: Does Matt Rhule look different? More stressed? More “fishbowl-aware”? Rob reads the body language, talks staff changes, and explains why this moment feels less like a rebuild and more like a reset—new voices, new systems, and possibly a new quarterback era after Dylan Raiola’s departure. The guys also get real about what Nebraska should do next: chase a portal QB… or build around TJ Lateef and invest where it matters most—up front.
Along the way, you’ll get sponsor shout-outs, a peppermint chocolate stout “breakfast beer,” stories from Rob’s debutante weekend, and a quick holiday wrap-up with what’s next for the podcast—more playoff talk, portal moves, and interviews lined up for the new year.
Merry Christmas, Husker fans. Episode 22 is equal parts football, fun, and future-looking—exactly how the holiday edition should be.

On this episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, former Nebraska assistant coach Bill Busch joins Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka in the studio for a wide-ranging and insightful conversation. A fan-favorite guest, Bill brings his trademark knowledge, perspective, and strong opinions.
The discussion opens with Nebraska volleyball and the Huskers’ surprising Elite Eight loss to Texas A&M, then quickly shifts to football. The trio dives into Nebraska’s upcoming bowl matchup with Utah, a game with personal connections for Coach Busch, who previously worked with the Utes and counts head coach Kyle Whittingham among his closest friends.
They also tackle Nebraska’s recent coaching changes and evaluate how Matt Rhule’s staff is recruiting in the state, offering candid insight into where the program stands and where it’s headed.

Nebraska closed the regular season with a thud, getting blasted 40–16 by Iowa and stumbling into the offseason searching for answers — and maybe an identity. On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and former Husker offensive lineman Dr. Rob Zatechka break down exactly how the Huskers unraveled in their final two games, getting outscored 73–26 and dropping their third straight Black Friday matchup against Iowa. Since joining the Big Ten, Nebraska has gone 4–11 against the Hawkeyes — and the gap feels wider than ever.
So now the question becomes: What changes are coming?
Will Matt Rhule overhaul his staff? Will key players stick around or move on?
We dive into the big offseason decisions, including:
It was also a wild weekend across college football — coaches fired, coaches hired, chaos everywhere, and Lane Kiffin doing what Lane Kiffin does: lighting a dumpster fire and then pretending he’s the one getting smoked out. One thing is certain: big changes are coming to the sport, and the ripple effects will hit everyone, including Nebraska.

In the Husker Doc Talk Podcast 2025, Episode 19, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka hit the reset button for new listeners and long-time fans alike. After more than 20 years together behind microphones and 13 seasons of this podcast, they remind you what you’re signing up for: football, beer, history tangents, and brutally honest Husker talk.
The guys crack into a “three-beer podcast” (that might quietly become a four- or five-beer show) featuring local favorites from Kros Strain Brewing and a deep dive into Pliny the Elder – yes, both the beer and the Roman author. Along the way, you’ll get craft beer notes, a quick Roman history lesson, and the usual Viking jokes at Dr. Rob’s expense before they shift into full football mode.
Nebraska’s 37–10 beatdown at Penn State takes center stage. Was this the worst performance of the year, or does Minnesota still hold that crown? Travis and Dr. Rob break down why pointing fingers at the quarterback is lazy analysis. They put the spotlight where they believe it belongs: on the offensive and defensive lines, development versus recruiting, and whether Nebraska has slipped backward on defense after losing Tony White and Terrence Knighton. They also dive into T.J. Lateef’s outing, how he compares to Dylan Raiola, and why the real issue isn’t under center.
Emmett Johnson’s monster season and quiet Heisman push get a serious look. Is he the best running back in the Big Ten, and what would he look like behind an elite offensive line? The guys talk NIL math, draft grades, transfer portal temptations, and whether Emmett’s future is in Lincoln, the NFL, or somewhere chasing a national title.
Then it’s rivalry week: Iowa vs. Nebraska on Black Friday. Travis explains why Hawkeye fans are strangely comfortable living in the 7–8 win world of Kirk Ferentz, while Dr. Rob shocks everyone by actually picking Iowa to win—and to score on both defense and special teams. They break down Iowa’s run game, their shaky passing attack, and how Nebraska should defend a team that can’t throw it deep.
There’s even time for some national drama: Lane Kiffin’s flirtation with LSU and Florida, the insanity of coaching expectations in places like Baton Rouge, and why Ole Miss might actually be Kiffin’s best long-term play.
Of course, the show is brought to you by their friends at G-Defy (GDEFY.com, promo code DocTalk50), Orr Law Group, and Husker Hounds. Hit subscribe on YouTube, drop a comment, and if you found the show through HuskerMax.com, Travis and Dr. Rob say thank you and welcome aboard.
This is the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, 2025 – Episode 18 with Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka, and even though Nebraska had a bye week, there’s no shortage of things to talk about.
Even without a Nebraska game, Husker football is never off the table. Travis and Rob revisit TJ Lateef’s performance against UCLA, why the timing of this bye week might actually be perfect for a true freshman quarterback, and whether fans are about to put unfair expectations on him heading into a night game at Penn State. They also talk about Nebraska–Penn State history, from classic Osborne–Paterno battles to the emotional post-Sandusky trip to Happy Valley.
Then it gets big-picture:
That leads directly into the Big Ten private equity conversation. Travis and Dr. Rob break down the proposed multi-billion-dollar deal, why some schools see it as a glorified payday loan, why Michigan and USC reportedly aren’t thrilled, and what it could mean for future TV deals, revenue sharing, and the balance of power inside the conference.
And yes, Iowa sneaks into the conversation. The guys compare Iowa’s recent close losses to ranked teams with Nebraska’s own frustrations, and Rob answers a simple question with a complicated history: under a 12-team playoff, how far away is Nebraska from getting in — and does Iowa make it under Kirk Ferentz?
Along the way, you’ll hear from sponsors like GDEFY shoes, Orr Law Group, and Husker Hounds.
Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka are back in the basement; beers cracked, mics hot, and takes even hotter after Nebraska’s 28–21 win over UCLA.
Travis plants a flag: TJ Lateef is the better fit for Dana Holgerson’s offense than Dylan Raiola. Rob parses the nuance: different QBs, different slices of the playbook—but against UCLA, Lateef looked composed and decisive, starting 11-for-11 and finishing 13-of-15 for 205 yards and 3 TDs, plus the legs to punish a defense (31 rushing yards) when the second read wasn’t there. Clean sheet, too: no turnovers, minimal penalties, and the offense stayed on schedule.
The spotlight swings to Emmett Johnson, who just made himself some money: 28 carries for 129 and 103 receiving—the first Husker RB ever to hit 100/100 in a single game. The NFL loves backs who can block and catch; does Johnson jump now, chase NIL for one more season, or both? The portal/NIL realities get the full Doc Talk treatment, including how backup market value changes overnight and why some players know their next stop before they even hit the portal.
Defense? The numbers say “solid,” the eyes say “still leaky.” UCLA went 8-for-14 on third down and hit a couple of chunky scrambles when the contain broke. The pass rush flashed, but Rob wants a few more of those get-off-the-field moments—turn two or three conversions into stops, and the whole night feels different.
Beyond football, the guys hit Husker Wrestling—packed house vibes, Mark Manning’s machine, and the AJ Ferrari showmanship question (Cal State Bakersfield version, please).
Since the Huskers aren't playing next week, make plans for Saturday night! Producer Owen Justice is gigging Saturday at Reverb Lounge, opening for Ben Chapman (buy one, get one tickets—support local music!).
Shoutout to Doug at Kros Strain for a clutch case drop—yes, the Cornhusker Crusher (Herbie on the can, the “correct” Herbie) makes an appearance, along with a surprisingly sippable morning “breakfast” lager—Inflatable Snowman with cranberry and cinnamon. The guys also riff on stadium beer lines and why UNL’s grab-and-go needs triple the pay stations if you want fans back in seats before the next series.

This week, we start with the Saturday night roller coaster in Lincoln. Nebraska had USC on the ropes at halftime, and Travis was ready to declare it Matt Rhule’s signature win… until the second half flipped. We dig into the turning points: Dylan Raiola’s third-quarter exit, why Nebraska’s run fits unraveled, and how a defense that held USC to 337 total yards still surrendered the game on the ground. Dr. Rob walks through the trenches: the interior getting knocked back, contain issues on the edge, and what that means in a Big Ten built on downhill football.
Quarterback talk is unavoidable. Raiola isn’t the problem — but does TJ Lateef’s mobility unlock a different ceiling for this offense? We kick around what a full week of starter reps could look like for Lateef, what the receiver room needs to do to separate, and the difference between “better play-calling” and “good play-calling.” On the bright side: Emmett Johnson keeps carrying the load (29 carries, 165 yards in this one) and is tracking toward an All–Big Ten season.
Then it’s the stretch run: UCLA, Penn State, and Iowa. Which is the most winnable game — and why are the guys circling Penn State on the road? Rob resets expectations (seven wins feels like the realistic new baseline) and pinpoints the line play improvements from Evans at center and the one-and-done boost from Rocco Spindler — plus where tackle remains a concern. Would a dedicated tackles coach help? (Cue the Brian Ferentz-as-OL-coach debate and a few memes.)
We also tackle the “blackout” conversation. Production value? A+. The look? Eerie and cool. But do alternate uniforms move the needle when you’re not stacking wins? Travis argues it’s a gimmick fans love but recruits don’t care about in the NIL era — wins matter most. Agree or disagree, the crowd delivered.
From there we zoom out to the national picture: the coaching carousel spinning, big-name jobs opening, and why stability in Lincoln still matters. Rhule’s extension makes sense, but staff self-scouting has to be ruthless. Want to build sustainably? We go deep on recruiting philosophy with a Bill Bush-inspired segment: the #1 trait is competitiveness — grit — not just measurables. It’s why some overlooked kids become program pillars while five-stars fade. That launches a lively sidebar on in-state QB recruiting (hello, Braylon Warren), relationship equity, and why you still offer your best local players even if the depth chart is crowded.
We even sneak in some winning football: Augustana is 9-0 and sitting pretty in its super region despite injuries — Rob’s rocking the powder-blue lid and explains DII regional calculus like a pro. Speaking of lids, we commiserate about $50 hats and why the right one is worth it.
Shoutouts to the folks who keep this free for you:
Nebraska 28, Northwestern 21. The Huskers are now bowl eligible for the second year in a row and improve to 6-2 on the season and 3-2 in the Big 10 Conference.
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss the win in the latest edition of Husker Doc Talk Podcast.
Nebraska scored 14 of its 28 points off Northwestern turnovers. The Huskers also get a kickoff return for a touchdown.
Despite rushing for 155 yards, including 124 from Emmett Johnson, Dr. Rob still sees some problems with the offensive line.
Speaking of Johnson, Dr. Rob and Travis think he's the best running back in the Big 10 Conference. His numbers back up the opinion, but it also shows how much Nebraska needs him if the Huskers want to keep winning.
Additionally, Northwestern rushed for 172 yards, indicating some holes and deficiencies in the Nebraska interior front.
Up next is USC. The Trojans did not play this past weekend. According to ESPN's game predictor, USC has a 72% chance of winning.

Minnesota 24, Nebraska 6—and it felt worse. Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka break down a Friday-night flop that saw nine sacks, a sputtering run game, and a defense bullied on a 98-yard, 8:43 drive to open the second half. Is Nebraska’s offensive line development the program’s biggest long-term problem? What’s fair criticism of Donovan Raiola after five seasons? And where do Matt Rhule and his coordinators fit in when halftime adjustments don’t show up?
They also look ahead to Northwestern—now quietly 5–2—discuss why the Wildcats’ ball-control blueprint is Nebraska’s worst nightmare, and explain why the Huskers’ margin for error remains razor thin heading into the season’s final five games.

Nebraska beats Michigan State 38–27 in a game that felt tougher than it had to be. On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka break down the sacks (12 in two weeks), what the staff is asking Dylan Raiola to do (and not do), and why Mike Eckler’s special teams might be Nebraska’s best unit right now. They reset Cincinnati’s profile after the Iowa State game (that Week 1 Husker win looks stronger), preview Maryland, and hit the national slate: Penn State’s slide and James Franklin’s ceiling, UCLA’s sudden offensive identity, Alabama’s steady climb, and Arch Manning vs. the hype.

Nebraska drops another Big Ten opener, 30–27 to Michigan, and Travis Justice & Dr. Rob Zatechka break down why the score felt closer than the game. From seven sacks and goal-line woes to Michigan’s clear edge in speed and physicality, the guys zero in on the offensive tackles, short-yardage issues, and three explosive TD runs allowed. They also defend Dylan Raiola’s day (it wasn’t on the QB) and compare him to Bryce Underwood, separating arm talent, accuracy, and true dual-threat juice.
With a bye week on deck, they outline what can actually be fixed now (OL personnel/scheme tweaks, tackling fits, protection help) and what’s a longer project. Then it’s a tour around college football: Indiana surges under Curt Cignetti, Wisconsin spirals (is Luke Fickell on the clock?), Florida’s brutal slate puts Billy Napier in peril, and why monster buyouts are warping the coaching carousel.

Welcome to the Husker Doc Talk Podcast! This week, former Husker Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice break down Nebraska’s 59-point rout of Houston Christian. For the second week in a row, the Huskers cruised to victory and gave valuable reps to the backups. But the tune-up games are over—Big Ten Conference play begins, and Michigan is up next. The Wolverines bring star quarterback Bryce Underwood to Lincoln, and Dr. Rob lays out his keys to victory and the pitfalls Nebraska must avoid if they want to move to 4-0.
It’s not all football this week. Travis and Dr. Rob also shift gears to boxing, where Omaha’s own Bud Crawford made history Saturday night with a unanimous decision win over Canelo Alvarez—further cementing his case as one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice are back with another episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast.
Nebraska dominated Akron in a 68–0 shutout, but as Dr. Rob reminds us, even near-perfect performances leave room for growth. The blowout gave the Huskers a valuable chance to get younger players much-needed game reps, a benefit that will pay off down the road.
With another cupcake matchup on deck against Houston Christian, Travis and Dr. Rob shift gears to the broader landscape of college football. From early-season surprises to head coaches already feeling the heat, the guys break down who’s in trouble and why.
It’s Husker football, national perspective, and plenty of Doc Talk honesty—tune in for the full breakdown.

But now it’s time to shift gears, because Husker football is almost here. Nebraska kicks things off in less than two weeks against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium.

In this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice break down Nebraska’s decision to cancel its highly anticipated home-and-home series with Tennessee. It's a move that financially makes sense for the program but cheats the fans out of a showdown with a big-name program.
The Huskers are also scrapping the 2025 Spring Game. Nebraska won’t hold its annual fan showcase—marking the end of a tradition that regularly draws over 60,000 fans. What does this mean for recruiting, fan engagement, and the program's overall direction?
Rob and Travis give their unfiltered thoughts on both decisions, what it says about Matt Rhule’s long-term plan, and why some fans are growing frustrated with the program's cautious approach.

The offseason has arrived, and with it, the Husker Doc Talk Podcast shifts into an interview-focused format. Kicking off the first episode of 2025, we sit down with former Nebraska All-American Keyuo Craver.
Now living in Omaha, Keyuo works as a recruiting specialist at Metro Community College. While he typically stays under the radar, he takes center stage on this podcast, opening up about his experiences at Nebraska, his time in the NFL, and his career in the Canadian Football League. He also reflects on his first book, I Peed and Forgot, and teases his upcoming book, which delves into his years as a Husker.
Raw, honest, and deeply personal—this episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast has it all.

On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka delve into the action-packed first round of the college football playoffs. While the initial four games didn’t quite deliver the edge-of-your-seat drama fans might have hoped for, they still offered plenty of excitement. The games highlighted the unique energy that comes with home-field advantage, which created electric atmospheres in every matchup. This, in turn, made a compelling case for playoff expansion, raising questions about how the format could evolve to include even more teams and intensify the competition in future seasons.
The conversation then shifts focus to Nebraska’s upcoming bowl game as the Huskers gear up for the Pinstripe Bowl against Boston College. Travis and Dr. Rob dive deep into the matchup, analyzing how the Huskers stack up against BC. They examine Nebraska’s strengths and weaknesses, the challenges posed by Boston College, and the potential strategies the Huskers might employ to secure a victory. With new defensive assistant coaches on staff, the discussion also explores how these recent additions will adapt and integrate their strategies with the players in such a short time frame. Will these coaches be able to make an immediate impact, or will the limited preparation time be a hurdle Nebraska can’t overcome?
Shifting gears, Travis and Dr. Rob turn their attention to an ongoing legal battle that could significantly impact junior college athletes and their eligibility in NCAA sports. A case in Tennessee has resulted in a temporary injunction that challenges existing rules and could pave the way for junior college transfers to have up to four full years of playing time when they join a four-year institution. This development exposes yet another area where the NCAA has fallen short in addressing critical eligibility issues. The duo discusses the potential ripple effects of this ruling, including how it might reshape the landscape of college sports, especially for programs that rely heavily on junior college transfers.

Episode 38 of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast dives into a packed agenda, highlighting some of the biggest headlines in Nebraska football and the broader college football landscape. Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka kick things off by dissecting Nebraska’s decision to promote John Butler to Defensive Coordinator. They analyze what this move means for the program, the defense's future direction, and Butler’s potential to elevate the Blackshirts in the ever-competitive Big Ten.
Next, they tackle the Transfer Portal frenzy, exploring its implications for Nebraska and how the Huskers can strategically navigate this new era of college football. With the 2025 Nebraska football schedule recently announced, Travis and Dr. Rob offer their insights on key matchups, challenges ahead, and how the team is shaping up for the seasons to come.
But the conversation doesn’t stop in Lincoln. The duo focuses on the somewhat shocking news of Bill Belichick’s move to North Carolina, discussing how his NFL expertise might translate to the college game and what this means for a sport already during other coaching changes. They also take a broader look at coaching shakeups nationwide and how these moves reshape the competitive landscape.

In this engaging episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, hosts Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka dive into a packed agenda of college sports headlines, focusing on the latest developments in Nebraska athletics and beyond.
The show kicks off with an in-depth discussion about the inaugural 12-team college football playoff. Travis and Dr. Rob analyze the teams in the field, offering insights into how the expanded playoff format might shape the future of college football.
The conversation then shifts to Nebraska football as the Huskers prepare for their upcoming Pinstripe Bowl game. Travis and Dr. Rob discuss how the team is gearing up for this postseason opportunity and delve into the transfer portal's significant impact on the program. They explore how the portal is reshaping the roster, not just for the bowl game but for the upcoming 2025 season, analyzing the potential losses, gains, and strategic adjustments Nebraska might face as a result.
Travis and Dr. Rob also discuss former Nebraska head coach Scott Frost being hired at Central Florida. Travis and Dr. Rob analyze the decision, speculate on how Frost might fit into the program where he previously found significant success, and debate whether this new opportunity could help revive his coaching career.
Shifting gears, the duo celebrates a significant achievement for the Nebraska volleyball team, who have advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. Travis and Dr. Rob highlight the team’s dominance throughout the season and the role they play in keeping Nebraska on the map as a powerhouse in collegiate volleyball.
Blending analysis, humor, and a deep passion for Husker athletics, this episode provides fans with thoughtful commentary and insider perspectives on both the opportunities and challenges facing Nebraska’s sports programs.

Statistically, Nebraska dominated Iowa. However, as we found out on Black Friday, the final score is the only thing that matters: Iowa 13, Nebraska 10.
In this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka discusses the mental side of the game, which is just as important as the physical part. Dr. Rob discusses with Travis Justice that the pregame handshake, or lack thereof, indicated that the Huskers were not ready for the little things it takes to win a game.
Did the mind games before the game play a part in the final outcome? There's no way to prove it, but there's no way to disprove it either.
Last Friday's Nebraska and Iowa game was just an appetizer in a wild weekend of rivalry week. The Huskers now wait to see who they will play in a bowl game while Penn State and Oregon battle for the Big 10 Championship, and we wait for the official college football playoff bracket to be set.

It's a win worth storming the field for. Nebraska 44, Wisconsin 25. Nebraska improves to 6-5 on the season and is bowl eligible for the first time since 2016.
On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and former Husker All-American Dr. Rob Zatechka break down Nebraska's win over Wisconsin. The Big Red's dominating offensive performance was highlighted by 473 yards of offense and excelling in the red zone, 7-7, and five touchdowns. The Huskers used a balanced offensive attack to beat the Badgers, racking up 473 total yards, including 180 yards on the ground. Some could argue that it was the best offensive performance for the Huskers this season.
There is one more game left in the season, and Nebraska has another shot at bettering its record. The Huskers are at Iowa, a night game on Black Friday. The Hawkeyes are coming off a 29-13 win over Maryland, in which they ran the ball for 268 yards on 58 carries. Iowa has won nine of the last eleven match-ups in the series, with the last six one-score games. Nebraska did win the last time they played in Iowa City, 24-17 in 2022.
Will the win over Wisconsin be enough to lift a heavy weight off the Huskers' shoulders and let them let loose against Iowa, or will it be another barn-burner border war? Dr. Rob and Travis give their thoughts.

Nebraska's trip to Los Angeles ended in heartbreak, falling to USC 28-20 in a nail-biter. But did the officials miss a game-changing call on the final play? Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka break down the controversial no-call for pass interference and how it impacted the outcome.
The conversation doesn’t stop there. Should the Huskers have run the ball more against the Trojans after logging only 25 rushing attempts? And how did Dana Holgerson fare in his debut as Nebraska’s Offensive Coordinator?
With bowl eligibility still hanging in the balance and two games left—Wisconsin on Saturday and Iowa on Black Friday—there’s no shortage of drama as the Huskers fight to extend their season. Don’t miss this week’s deep dive into the state of Nebraska football!

Matt Rhule isn't messing around. He knows he has to win at Nebraska, and his latest move shows how important it is for the Huskers to get to a bowl game this season!
Less than a week after hiring for West Virginia and Houston Head Coach Dana Holgorsen as an "offensive consultant," Rhule hands Holgorsen the keys to the offense and says drive as fast as possible!
Former OC Marcus Satterfield will remain on the staff for at least the rest of the season; after that, who knows?
Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka discuss the change in this Husker Doc Talk Podcast edition. Why now? Well, it's because Nebraska's offense has stalled out. The Huskers rank 96th nationally in total yards and 99th nationally in points scored.
The Huskers will be looking for yards, points, and a win this weekend at USC. The Trojans have made their own change: a new starting quarterback. Jayden Maiava, who transferred from UNLV, is a dual-threat quarterback who is also trying to get USC to a bowl game and get Lincoln Riley off the Los Angeles hot seat.

Nebraska suffered a tough loss, which was the worst of the season: UCLA 27, Nebraska 20. Despite the home-field advantage and coming off a stellar performance against Ohio State, the Huskers needed this win to secure their first bowl appearance since 2016. But it all unraveled, leaving a hopeful fan base stunned and frustrated in their quest for relevancy.
In this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive deep into the impact of this loss on Nebraska’s season and explore what steps the program should take moving forward.
One of the most surprising aspects was Nebraska's defense against the run. Despite ranking as one of the nation's top rush defenses, the Huskers allowed UCLA—statistically one of the worst rushing teams in the country—to rack up 139 yards on the ground, including several big runs that proved costly in critical moments.
So, does Nebraska have a coaching issue? A culture issue? A talent issue? One thing is clear: they have an issue with winning games. If the Huskers hope to make a bowl game, they need answers fast. But it won’t be easy with only three games left.
The team faces another off week, giving them extra time to prepare for USC. However, as earlier in the season showed, a bye week hasn't necessarily benefited the Huskers. Dr. Rob and Travis discuss.

Doctor Rob upset many fans after Nebraska's close loss to Ohio State. He gave the Nebraska special teams an F+ despite the Huskers finding a field goal kicker who can make field goals with some distance.
In this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob explains his grade. While the field goals are nice, other aspects of special teams execution leave him with plenty of room for worry.
One thing is for sure: the Huskers looked a lot better against Ohio State. In fact, they looked maybe the best they have looked all year. The defense slowed Ohio State's skill position players. The offense ran the ball against a Buckeye defense that holds teams below 100 yards a game on the ground.
The officiating in the Ohio State game wasn't the best. It should never be an excuse, but a call or non-call here and there can have a major impact on the game. What can be done to fix officiating errors and make calls more accurate? Travis and Dr. Rob discuss some ideas.
UCLA comes to Lincoln on Saturday. The Bruins have had a brutal schedule, losing to three top-10 teams. They are coming off a bye week and, before that, a win at Rutgers. The Bruins aren't a bad team, but they aren't great, either. On paper, UCLA will be the "easiest" game left on the schedule for Nebraska, and a win against the Bruins will make Nebraska bowl-eligible for the first time since 2016. Dr. Rob and Travis break down the next game and take a high-level look at the remaining games on the schedule.

It was a beatdown of epic proportions that the Huskers did not see coming. Indiana 56, Nebraska 7.
Outcoached, outplayed, out everything! This is a reminder that just when you think things are going well, you may not be as good as you think.
In this Husker Doc Talk Podcast edition, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka discuss all four game phases in which Nebraska failed.
What makes the blowout loss to Indiana (one of the top 10 worst in Nebraska history) is that the Huskers had plenty of time to prepare for the Hoosiers. It looked like Nebraska took two weeks off instead of practicing.
And if they were looking past the Hoosiers to get to Ohio State, that was a significant mistake. Speaking of the Buckeyes, they are up next for Nebraska, and playing at the Horse Shoe means there is a serious possibility of another ass-kicking. Ohio State is ranked fourth in the Country and didn't play last week. The Buckeyes will be itching to get back on the field because last time out, they lost to now-number one Oregon.
When the season is over, Matt Rhule must examine his coaching staff, specifically on special teams and offense. There are five games left with no guaranteed wins and one sure loss (Ohio State), so buckle up for what could be an emotional rollercoaster.

The Huskers enjoyed a week off watching what might have been the best week in college football so far this season. Sitting out a week should be more than enough motivation for Nebraska as it travels to Indiana, hoping to upset the unbeaten and 16th-ranked Hoosiers.
Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka take a deep dive into the game. Let's make one thing abundantly clear: yes, Indiana is unbeaten. However, the Hoosiers have yet to play any significant team. Nebraska will be its most formidable opponent to date.
That's not to say Indiana doesn't have firepower; it does! The Hoosiers average almost 48 points per game and 515 yards per game. They will spread the field and pass a lot, led by quarterback Kurtis Rourke. The fifth-year senior is completing almost 74% of his passes and has 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions.
But don't look past the Indiana rushing attack. It averages 200 yards a game on the ground and picks up an impressive 5.1 yards per carry.
Indiana's defensive numbers look solid on paper, but let's be real—the schedule is weak! Indiana hasn't played a team with a record above .500, and in Big 10 play, UCLA, Maryland, and Northwestern have a combined conference record of 1-7.
This game is getting some national attention as Fox Big Noon Kickoff will do its pregame show from Bloomington, where it is also Homecoming.
Does all this add up to a Nebraska win and the Huskers becoming bowl-eligible? Find out what Travis and Dr. Rob think.

Ugly wins are still wins. Nebraska's 14-7 win over Rutgers on Saturday was anything but picture-perfect, but who cares!
The Huskers are now 5-1 on the season, just the second time they've reached that milestone in the last ten years. They have never lost to Rutgers, a perfect 7-0 against the Scarlet Knights.
Nebraska continues to excel on defense. They have held four of their first five opponents to 10 or fewer points and their last 13 opponents to under 400 yards of total offense; it's been over 15 years since they could say that.
The offense struggled against Rutgers, with 261 total yards, and quarterback Dylan Raiola had what would be considered his worst game at Nebraska.
It's a perfect time for a week off. Nebraska has a bye next week before resuming play against currently unbeaten Indiana and then number two Ohio State.
Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka discuss the Rutgers win and the road ahead for the Huskers in this Husker Doc Talk Podcast edition.

28-7 is an impressive win when you look at the scoreboard. However, let's not forget that the Huskers and Boilermakers were scoreless at halftime. You can look at bad special teams' execution on the kicking game: one missed field goal and two blocks holding Nebraska back from really blowing out Purdue.
On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast. Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive into the latest Nebraska win. Fans will tell you officiating was horrible. Dr. Rob has a different take when it comes to the yellow hankies. Sure, there were a couple of bad calls, but what we watched against Purdue was two teams getting penalized a lot. Meaning the officials were consistent. You may think they were consistently wrong, but it's more than that. Do you want an officiating crew that lets teams play or a crew that calls everything by the book? Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
There were many good things to take away from the Purdue game. Dylan Raiola is as consistent as ever. The Defense held the Boilermakers to 50 yards rushing. Also, with a pick-six, John Bullock moved Nebraska to +5 on the season in turnover margin. Nebraska has outscored opponents 31-0 in points off turnovers this season.
Nebraska's next game is against Rutgers at 3:00 PM on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights are unbeaten after beating Washington last Friday and are off to their best start since joining the Big 10 Conference. Rutgers is well-coached and has an identity they stick to. It will be a challenging game for Nebraska but winnable. Dr. Rob gives his thoughts on the next game.

What would Frank Solich want to be if he didn't start coaching football in 1966? What two games when he was the coach at Nebraska haunt him the most? You will find answers to these questions on the latest Husker Doc Talk Podcast with Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka.
Frank Solich had the impossible job of replacing Tom Osborne in 1998. He turned the impossible into possible, winning the Big 12 title in 1999 (he should have won the National Championship) and the Big 12 North Division crowns in 2000 and 2001.
At Nebraska, Solich coached 13 First-Team All-Americans, 28 First-Team All-Conference Players, a Heisman Trophy Winner, and a Campbell Trophy winner (really smart and really good players. Dr. Rob won the Campbell Trophy).
That idiot Athletic Director Steve Pederson fired Solich after the 2003 season. He finished his Nebraska Head Coaching career with a 58-19 record.
From 2005 through 2020, Solich coached Ohio University. He is the winningest coach in school and Mid-American Conference history.
Solich was slow to return to Nebraska, as old wounds are hard to heal. But enough time has passed that he was back for the 2023 Spring Game and the Colorado game this season.
Frank will officially be inducted into the College Football Hall-of-Fame in December.

Husker Nation was hit with a hefty dose of reality last Friday. On the night of the 400th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium, Nebraska loses the Big Ten opener to Illinois in overtime. 31-24 the final. It's the first time Nebraska has lost a Big Ten Conference opener at home.
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice don't hold back in this Husker Doc Talk Podcast edition.
All of this is a surprise, considering the momentum the Huskers had been building in the first three weeks of the season. Maybe we should have seen it coming based on recent history. Nebraska has lost eight straight overtime games. It's like they didn't even show up in the extra period against the Illini.
Matt Rhule is now 2-20 all-time against teams ranked in the top 25, including 14 straight. Nebraska has lost 25 straight games against ranked teams dating back to 2016.
What did we learn? Nebraska has come so far but still has a long way to go. Maybe this is a good time to get away from Lincoln. After four straight home games, Nebraska is at Purdue on Saturday. The Boilermakers are bad, 1-2 on the season after getting beat by Oregon State last weekend. It's a game the Huskers should win, but then again, we thought the same thing against Illinois.

Nebraska improves to 3-0 on the season and moves up one spot to number 22 in the latest Associated Press College Football Poll, its highest poll position since 2016.
Still, Dr. Rob Zatechka gives the Huskers an incomplete on his report card for the game against Northern Iowa, citing [specific reasons for the incomplete grade]. Despite the big win, Dr. Rob says there is a lot to clean up, like running game dominance and better tackling, as they head into conference play.
In this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob and Travis Justice break down the report card and ask if there is a reason for concern as the Huskers prepare for a Friday night lights game against number 23 Illinois. Don't get Dr. Ro wrong; the Huskers were dominant against the Panthers, averaging over 8 yards per play while running just 48 offensive plays.
Northern Iowa did control the clock against Nebraska, dominating the time of possession by 17 minutes. The Panthers were able to rush for 139 yards.
The Huskers are gearing up for a challenging Big 10 opener against Illinois. The Illini, who have also improved to 3-0, are not to be underestimated. With a 30-9 win over Central Michigan, they have shown their strength. Nebraska will have to be at their best to stop Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer, who was 19-29 for 242 yards and two touchdowns. This game promises to be an exciting and competitive match-up. The Huskers will have to stop an Illinois offense that uses lots of motion on offense mixed with RPO (Run-Pass-Option).

Great Crowd. Great Atmosphere. Great Game. The Huskers smoked Colorado 28-10 to improve to 2-0 on the season and look for bigger and better things in the 2024 Season.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive deep into the win over the Buffs. One thing Dr. Rob likes so far this season is the offensive line pushing the line of scrimmage ahead four to five yards on rushing plays. And the stable of the runningbacks the Huskers have in their attack.
But let's also give some credit to the Nebraska defense. Getting six sacks against Colorado and holding Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter in check during prime time. (See what we did there?)
Up next is Northern Iowa. It's a game Nebraska should win. But don't look past the Patherns, as they are a solid FCS team, and coming off an emotional win against Colorado, this sets up to be a classic trap or letdown game.

Nebraska 40 UTEP 7. The Huskers won their season opener for the first time since 2019. It is an impressive start for a team looking to end the longest bowl drought in the Power 4. It is also an impressive start for Dylan Raiola, who is just the second true freshman in Nebraska history to start the season opener.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka dive deep into the victory that was one of the most impressive the Huskers have had in years. In short, Nebraska did what it was supposed to do: beat an inferior team in an inferior conference. However, the victory was not perfect, and Dr. Rob explains what he would like to see improve if they want to take the next step and contend for a Big 10 Title. That might be putting the cart before the horse, but the end game is to win a conference title.
Colorado is next for the Huskers. Last Thursday, the Buffs knocked off North Dakota State using a one-dimensional offense (passing game). Dr. Rob makes no bones about it: He doesn't like Colorado, its team, its fans, or anything else. He explains why. Nebraska clearly looks like the better team at this point, but there are still several reasons (athletic players) to be worried about this game.

The long wait is over! The Huskers' season kicks off on Saturday against UTEP. This is the first meeting between the Miners and Nebraska. Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka take a deep dive into the match-up on this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast.
Nebraska is opening the season at home for the first time since 2019. The Huskers are 12-0 at home against non-conference teams in the month of August and 10-0 when at Memorial Stadium in August. That unbeaten streak should stay in tack against a UTEP team coming to Lincoln with a new head coach and a team that has to replace almost all of its offensive production from a year ago and lost its top defensive player.
All eyes will be on Huskers Quarterback Dylan Raiola, who will become just the second true freshman in Nebraska history to start the season under center. The last was Adrian Martinez. There's been a lot of hype around Raiola. Will he live up to the expectations? Dr. Rob gives his expert opinion.
Dr. Rob also explains what a player goes through as they prepare to take the field for the first time and shares a hilarious story about his first time out of the tunnel as a red-shirt freshman.

The start of the college football season for Nebraska is a little over a week away, and the most significant decision of 2024 for Matt Ruhle has been made. Dylan Raiola has officially been named the starting quarterback for the season opener against UTEP.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka discuss the official announcement and how it wasn't that big of news; instead, it was a foregone conclusion. So, how will the true freshman be judged as a success? In the short term, get Nebraska back to a bowl game. In the long run, it's the playoffs or bust riding on the back of Raiola.
Nebraska will not be wearing alternate uniforms this season. For some odd reason, uniforms are a hot topic of conversation among fans. What's the big deal? The Big Red "N" on the helmet is classic, and the Husker's traditional uniforms are some of the most recognizable in college football. We always hear that recruits and players like the style and flash of alternate uniforms. Do you know what they like better? Winning! Let's start there, and everything will take care of itself.
Teams are getting creative when it comes to raising money for NIL. Oklahoma State is putting a QR code on its helmet. Former Nebraska assistant Bill Busch advocates placing a player's Venmo account on the scoreboard after a big play so fans can reward him. You will see a lot of trial, error, and success when it comes to NIL's creativity. Is this a good thing? Travis and Dr. Rob dive deep into the subject.

Dr. Rob Zatechka, a member of the original Nebraska Pipeline, has an affinity for the offensive line. He studies the front four like he was taking a test in medical school. Teddy Prochazka has been a tough one to figure out. A proportionate body that looks like a man would dominate up front. The only problem is that Prochazka is injury-prone. Prochazka is out for the season with another knee injury, his third.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob gives his best diagnosis of why Prochazka keeps getting hurt and what it means for the offensive line moving forward for the rest of the season.
As we play the waiting game for the season to start, Dr. Rob and Travis Justice dive into their predictions. They are looking at the over/under win totals for every team in the Big 10. What teams will exceed expectations, and what teams will fall short? Here's a hint: Some of their picks may surprise you or you about who they come from.

Practice has started, and the countdown to the season opener is on!
Dr. Rob Zatechka is back from a much-needed vacation and is ready to record weekly from now until the end of the season.
In this episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob and Travis Justice discuss the expectations of Freshman Quarterback Dylan Raiola. Husker Nation sees the Big Red legacy as the savior who will finally deliver the Huskers back to the promised Land. Is this too much of a burden to bear? Time will tell. Dr. Rob tells us what he would like to see from Raiola regarding his mobility.
How about reducing those dreaded turnovers? Nebraska turned the ball over 31 times in 2023, with 15 fumbles and 16 interceptions. Opponents outscored Nebraska 62-30 on points off of turnovers. They will have to flip the script if they are to get to a bowl game or, even better, win nine games. That starts with the quarterback play, adding even more pressure to the first-year signal caller.
Dr. Rob and Travis also discussed gambling on the podcast. There is a push to get online sports betting to a vote. Right now, you must physically make your sports bets at a casino. Sports betting is a touchy subject with a lot of people, but it's here. You might as well make it consumer-friendly. It's going to happen eventually.

One guest is invited to hop on the Husker Doc Talk Podcast whenever he wants: Joe Moglia. Joe is the former CEO and Chairman of the TD Ameritrade Board and the Coastal Carolina Head Football Coach. He knows a lot about football and money. So, with the House settlement now filed and there's a path forward for schools, it's only fitting that we bring Coach Joe in to discuss it.
Joe has written several articles about NIL, the NCAA, and his view of "fixing" college athletics. He is unapologetic and pulls no punches, making him a must-listen-to guest, even if you disagree with him.
Dr. Rob Zatechka is on vacation and sits this interview out. Travis Justice and Coach Joe cover a lot of ground over 60+ minutes, from football to reshaping the NCAA into a professional division, an amateur division, and even the stock market.

Nebraska athletic director Troy Danned has been in charge of Husker Athletics for four months. Talk about drinking water from a fire hose! The landscape of college athletics is changing almost daily, but the expectations haven't changed. The expectation is to win.
Troy called the Doc Talk podcast during our live show on the day he was hired. He promised to sit down with us once he got settled in, and he makes good on that promise in this Husker Doc Talk podcast edition. He was not in the basement with a beer but rather in his office in the North Stadium.
However, the topic of alcohol did come up. Nebraska is now the last team in the Big 10 Conference that does not allow beer sales. Will this change anytime soon? We ask the important question. We also dive deep into the transition of field turf to natural grass, the stadium renovation project, and so much more.
The season is just over a month away, and Dannen feels right at home in Lincoln. He understands what is expected and the passion of Husker fans. Enjoy the interview!

Terry Pettit, one of the greatest coaches in any sport, joins Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka on the latest Husker Doc Talk Podcast.
Pettit retired from coaching in 2000 at the age of 53. His 82% winning percentage ranks 8th on the NCAA's Division 1 All-Time list. Undoubtedly, he would have kept coaching; Pettit's win percentage and total wins would have been at the top or close to it.
Pettit coached Nebraska to its first National Title in 1995. His teams won 18 Big 8 Championships and three Big 12 titles.
Why would a coach seemingly on top of his game, with great teams, fan base, and facilities, walk away at such a young age? Passion, that's why. Pettit loves to write. He didn't set out to be a volleyball coach; he wanted to be a writer. His undergraduate degree was in English, and his Master's was in creative writing.
Today, Pettit lives in Colorado and finds his writing inspiration there. He's published three books, including poems in Trust and the River. He also hosts a podcast, "Inside The Coaching Mind," which you can listen to on TerryPettit.com. In addition to writing and podcasting, Pettit is a sought-after speaker at corporate events about leadership and team building.

The wait is over! The Doc Talk Podcast returns have a short hiatus because of family obligations and vacations.
Our guest on episode 14 is Steve Warren. The Springfield, Missouri native had several colleges to choose from when he was getting recruited. He picked Nebraska for one reason: winning!
After a short NFL career, Warren returned to Nebraska to finish his degree. After that, he stayed here and started the Dream Foundation, coached high school football, and eventually started the Warren Academy.
Steve and his team train the best high school football players in Nebraska and Western Iowa. The goal is to get them to the next level. One of his prize pupils is his son, Braylen. The Omaha Westside quarterback will be a sophomore and already has a scholarship offer from Iowa State. More will follow.
Many topics are discussed in this episode, and you can hear Steve's passion for making a difference, not just with kids on the football field but in life.

Change is coming, and fast! The NCAA is expected to come to a settlement in the House lawsuit which is expected to have major impact on athletic departments and their budgets. Until official word comes out, ESPN give a good breakdown on what schools will be voting on.
Not every conference and schools is on board. In typical fashion in today's college athletics landscape, there are the halves and the have nots and that is determined by the all might dollar. The Big East Conference, which of course Creighton is a part has strong objections to the proposal in front of schools that is expected go to a vote soon. Look at it this way, if you have football and a good TV contract, it will be easier to flip the bill.
On this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka welcome in Connor Orr. Connor is not only a sponsor of the podcast, but he's our resident lawyer, NIL experts, and sports agent.

The Nebraska Spring Game was a success in many ways. On this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice take a deeper dive into the scrimmage and what there is to build off of heading into Summer workouts and Fall camp.
Of course, all eyes were on Freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola. He performed with poise but he will also be pushed by Heinrich Haarberg and Daniel Kaelin. For the first time in a long time, it appears the Huskers have lots of depth at the quarterback position, something that is a must in today's Big Ten conference and college football.
Dr. Rob and Travis also dive into some Nebraska brewed craft beer. Sampling some cr from Pal's Brewing and Peg Leg brewing out of North Platte.

March has been a whirlwind month for the Nebraska athletic department, marked by significant changes at the helm. The departure of Trev Alberts, who left for a position at Texas A&M, came as a seismic shock to many - from those within the athletic department to the wider community of Nebraska and Husker fans nationwide. His move was swiftly followed by the announcement of Troy Dannen's appointment as the new Athletic Director, arriving from Washington, signaling a new era for Nebraska Athletics.
The impact of Alberts's departure cannot be understated; it was a moment that reverberated across the state and amongst the Husker faithful far and wide. Yet, amidst this change, the mission remains unwavering for those at the heart of Husker Athletics: to forge a path of success on the playing fields and ensure financial robustness. By all accounts, Nebraska has managed to strike this balance well, fostering an environment of athletic and financial health.
In this context of transformation and continuity, Doug Ewald, Nebraska's Executive Associate Athletic Director and Chief Financial Officer, made his return to the "Doc Talk Podcast," hosted by Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka and sponsored by BetFred Sports. A staunch Husker through and through, Ewald's dedication to the prosperity of the athletic department is palpable. In his first in-depth interview since the recent changes, he shared his initial shock at Alberts's departure and his early impressions of Dannen, noting a promising start to their collaboration.
The challenges ahead for college athletics are formidable, with issues such as name, image, and likeness (NIL), pay-for-play, and specific to Nebraska, the Memorial Stadium renovation project, looming on the horizon. Moreover, the evolving dynamics of college football and the playoff system require adept leadership and a cohesive team to navigate these uncertain times. Fortunately, Nebraska is well-positioned to face these challenges, boasting a debt-free status, a dedicated fan base, and a clear vision for success both on and off the field.
Ewald, who has been instrumental in the athletic department's turnaround, is eager to continue this positive trajectory alongside Dannen. Their shared commitment to excellence and resilience in the face of change holds promise for the future of Husker Athletics. As Nebraska embarks on this new chapter, the community watches with anticipation, hopeful for what the future holds under this new leadership.

Trev Alberts leaves Nebraska for Texas A&M. It is a move that almost nobody in Nebraska saw coming. On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka talk about the move and the implications that led to it and what is next for the Nebraska athletic department.
Join us for this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast, brought to you by BetFred Sports, as hosts Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka delve into the fascinating journey of Tony Veland. Beginning his career as a quarterback at Nebraska, Veland climbed the depth chart to earn the top spot before an injury sidelined him at the start of the 1993 season. Enter Tommie Frazier, and the rest is history.
But Veland's story didn't end there. A natural athlete, he made a pivotal decision to switch to defense, a move that contributed to two consecutive national titles for the Huskers under the guidance of coach Tom Osborne. His talents didn't go unnoticed, leading to being drafted by the Denver Broncos and a subsequent Super Bowl victory.
Despite facing adversity, including a gunshot wound in 2011, Veland's passion for football remains undiminished. In our interview, he shares personal anecdotes about his experiences on and off the field. Today, he imparts his knowledge as a coach for the Warren Academy, a youth development league founded by former Husker Steve Warren.
From football triumphs to life's challenges, our conversation with Veland covers it all.

After a month off, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka are back in the basement for another episode of Doc Talk presented by BetFred Sports.
Their guest is former Husker and original Pipeline member Brenden Stai. You can imagine what happens when two former teammates get together for drinks. To be clear, Brenden drinks seltzers, not beer, and explains why he had to make a lifestyle change despite owning a craft brewery.
How did a California kid end up in Nebraska? The story is pretty crazy. Here's a hint: a simple poster in a weight room planted a seed of curiosity and a hard sell; some would call it a threat by Tom Osborne, who closed the deal for Stai, who was initially verbally committed to Arizona State.
Despite growing up in a rough California neighborhood and coming from a home where Brenden's mom and dad were divorced, his family was and is a big part of Brenden's journey to Nebraska, the pros, and back to Nebraska, where he is now the Assistant AD for Leadership Giving and Football Relations.
You can say Brenden beat the odds in becoming the person he is today: former football player, entrepreneur, executive, and ambassador for the University and the athletic department. He covers it all and leaves us wanting more when the episode ends.

It's safe to say the glory years of Nebraska basketball were the Danny Nee Years. The 1993-94 team recently reunited at Pinnacle Bank Arena to celebrate the 1994 Big 8 Conference Tournament Championship.
Bruce Chubick was a captain on that team and an All-Tournament team selection. Chubick started 67 games, scored 878 points, and had 618 rebounds for his Husker career.
Chubick is now the Head Coach at Omaha Central. He sits down with Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice on the latest edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports to discuss his time at Nebraska, disappointment with former Coach Tim Miles, and this year's team, which has a shot at returning to the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice are back with another edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports.
In episode 32, they say goodbye to 2023 and hello to the 2024 Nebraska football recruiting class led by Five Star Quarterback Dylan Raiola.
The episode takes an exciting turn when Travis and Dr. Rob get into a spirited discussion about Nebraska's five National Titles and if they are "theoretical" or "mythical" because the Huskers didn't win them under a playoff system. You might be surprised at who falls on each side of the fence.
This episode is the final Podcast of 2023. Thanks to all of you who have continued to support and listen to us. Dr. Rob and Travis will return in 2024 with their off-season interview series.

Iowa 13 Nebraska 10. The season is over for the Huskers as they finish 5-7 on the season and fail to reach a bowl game for the seventh straight season.
The reason Nebraska lost to the Hawkeyes is the same reason they lost their previous six games, turnovers. Three for the game and a crucial interception by Chubba Purdy in the last minute of the game that set up the game winning Iowa field goal as time expired.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports; Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive into the season ending loss and also discuss what is next for Nebraska.
How does a team get over the hump in close games? How do the Huskers cut down on turnovers? Is Purdy the quarterback of the future and how do things change with the Big 10 landscape shifting in 2024? It’s all discussed in this episode.

Just like ugly wins count, ugly losses hurt. The Huskers lost ugly to Michigan State 20-17. Another typical Nebraska performance. Poor passing, three turnovers, and a decent run game. The Huskers were also the victims of poor officiating, but that's not the reason they lost the game.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss take a deep into the loss that drops Nebraska to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in the Big 10. Despite the loss, Nebraska STILL has a decent shot at winning the Big 10 West Division. Dr. Rob and Travis break down what is left for Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota as all four are still in the hunt.
At the beginning of the show we touch based with producer Owen Justice and his album release show on December 15. You can purchase tickets to the concert by clicking HERE.

Nebraska may be taking a week off (bye) but the Doc Talk podcast presented by BetFred Sports dose not. On this episode Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive in deep into the futility of the Big 10 West Division. Sure Nebraska has a legitimate shot at six or seven wins, but what does that really mean?
Also, the Big 10 has released the future schedules for the 2024-228 seasons. There's no hiding the fact that the Huskers will face some stiff conference competition in the future. Some fans the the the Big 10 did the Huskers no favors. However, Dr. Rob sees things differently. He explains in greater detail in this episode.

The 2023 Nebraska football season is like a broken record. So far, a new Head Coach and coaching staff are producing similar results to those who came before them.
It's not about the losses; it's how the Huskers lose. Turnovers, penalties, and mental mistakes are issues that seem easy to correct but have plagued the program for years.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast, former Husker Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss the most recent setback, a 36-14 loss at Colorado.
The Huskers will play their first home game of the season on Saturday; the showdown with Northern Illinois is the first of two straight non-conference home games for the Big Red.
But Dr. Rob and Travis have much more to discuss across college football. Michigan State is again in scandal, this time with Head Coach Mel Tucker.
And an Art Briles was sighting at Oklahoma. Briles on the field in Norman has a fan base up in arms, putting Sooners Offensive Coordinator Jeff Lebby in an awkward position as Briles is his father-in-law.

Are you starting to wonder if there's a lingering curse over the Huskers? Yet another heart-wrenching loss unfolded last Thursday against Minnesota, and it's becoming increasingly challenging to explain away these close defeats.
The Huskers seem stuck in a recurring nightmare – the same problems yielding the same unfortunate outcome. Nebraska's four turnovers paved the way for the Golden Gophers to secure a 13-10 victory, further fueling suspicions of a possible curse. Adding to the mystique, since the commencement of the 2021 season, Nebraska boasts a dismal 2-14 record in one-score games. What's more disheartening is that in five of those 14 losses, the Huskers had a lead in the fourth quarter.
In this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast, brought to you by Betfred Sports, join Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice as they dissect the game, delving into the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.
Unfortunately, the road ahead doesn't get any smoother for the Huskers. Their next challenge takes them to Colorado this Saturday, where the Buffalos have already made waves. In a surprising turn of events, Colorado clinched a stunning victory against TCU, a team that competed in the National Title Game last season and emerged victorious. The new head coach of Colorado, Deion Sanders, has shown he's unafraid to back up his talk, solidifying his claims with a victorious season opener.
While the Buffs showcased their offensive prowess, racking up an impressive 565 yards of total offense, with 510 of those yards coming through the air, there are clear chinks in their armor. Colorado's defense exhibited vulnerabilities, allowing a staggering 42 points and 541 yards to TCU, including 262 yards on the ground. The stage is set for another thrilling showdown, and the Huskers will need to overcome their recent curse to seize victory in Colorado.

Finally! It's game week. Nebraska kicks off the 2023 season and the Matt Rhule era on Thursday. The game isn't an ordinary start to the season; the game is on a Thursday, a first for the Nebraska football team since 2010.
Matt Rhule is looking to become the first Husker head coach to win his first game since Bo Pelini in 2008. Rhule is the first Husker coach to begin his career with a road game since Bernie Masterson, whose first game was also at Minnesota on Sept. 28, 1946. Oh, and this is not only the season opener and Conference Divisional game game as well.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice do a deep dive into the game with the Golden Gophers.
Minnesota Coach P.J. Fleck is replacing a quarterback and one of the country's best running backs from last year's team. He has to do so by facing a rebuilt Nebraska defense running a 3-3-5 attack. Fleck's challenge is the unexpected, as it's hard to prepare for something he's never seen in Nebraska before.
The game isn't the only big news. Last week, President Ted Carter resigned to take the same job at The Ohio State University. What does this mean for the Nebraska Athletic Department? After all, Trev Alberts recently got the chain of command changed so he would directly report to Carter and not the UNL Chancellor.
This podcast talks little about high school football; however, the season kicked off last Friday. There were some alarming final scores and a shockingly bad call on the last play of the Bennington vs. Skutt Catholic game that has people talking. So we'll take some time to talk about it also.
Betfred Sports has an exclusive offer for listeners to the Doc Talk Podcast. Get a 100% risk-free bet up to $50 when you wager on the Nebraska vs. Minnesota game. You can bet the spread, the money line, or the point total. Just use the promo code CORN.

The Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports welcomes Tom Shatel from the Omaha World Herald to the basement. Believe it or not, this is one of the longest podcasts Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice has ever done, and they still didn't cover everything they wanted to get to.
Big 10 Media Days is a hot topic of discussion, as is the ever-changing landscape of college football. Will conferences just disappear and a new "professional" league take its place? There's plenty of money to do it and Colorado jumping ship from the PAC-12 might have been the pebble that broke loose to start an all-out avalanche.
Also, with Bud Crawford dominating the boxing world and the Welterweight division, where does the Champ fall on the Mount Rushmore of the greatest athletes ever in Omaha.?

The concept of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) has now reached its third year of existence. Money is flowing, creating an uneven playing field in college athletics. Let's be honest the playing field was uneven before NIL.
Coaches and administrators from SEC (Southeastern Conference) have marched up Capitol Hill, urging for legislative intervention. Meanwhile, the NCAA is attempting to assert its authority by emphasizing that their rules supersede state laws for member schools. Additionally, the IRS has raised concerns about the non-profit status of collectives, recognizing them as pay-for-play entities, potentially jeopardizing their tax-exempt status.
In this episode of the Doc Talk podcast, presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice host Connor Orr in their basement studio. Connor, a registered sports agent and partner at the law firm Orr and Horgan in Omaha, offers valuable insights.
The future of NIL faces numerous challenges and uncertainties. The past three years have seen significant changes, and it is likely that more changes will follow in the next three years. Our discussion shed light on these issues, revealing that finding solutions to the NIL puzzle, even if they are kept within the collegiate system, requires dedicated effort.
We invite you to share your thoughts in the comments section after listening to the podcast.

After listening to this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Huskers fans may be astounded by what they hear.
Iowa Western Community College Head Coach Scott Strohmeier is our guest. Scott is the 2022 Nationa Junior College Coach of the Year. Iowa Western won its second national title under Strohmeir in 14 years. The Reivers have also finished runner-up twice under Strohmeir, the IWCC's only head coach since the program started in 2009.
Nebraska fans may need to remember that Tom Osborne was instrumental in Iowa Western getting a football program. He was a consultant for former IWCC President Dr. Dan Kinney. At the time, many people thought Iowa Western would become a pipeline of players to Lincoln. After all, there are no junior colleges in Nebraska that play football.
However, the story plays out differently. Iowa Western has created a pipeline for sure, just not to Lincoln. You will have to listen to the podcast to get the exact number of Iowa Western Players that have worn the Scarlet and Cream; the number may shock you.
For the record, Stohmeier has put over 400 players into D1 Programs over the past 14 years and close to 100 at Power 5 Programs.
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss his relationship with previous Nebraska coaches with Coach Strohmeier and what he expects moving forward with Matt Ruhle and the new Nebraska staff. They also talk about the critically acclaimed Last Chance U on Netflix and what the transfer portal and NIL mean to the JUCO game.

Every college football program has its share of stars living off name recognition for generations. Rarely is there a position group that carries the same clout with fans.
At Nebraska, you have three Heisman Trophy Winners and several Outland and Lombardi Trophy winners. Of course, all those winners continue to sign autographs and take photos with fans. But "The Pipeline" seems to evoke the emotions of greatness, dominance, athleticism, nastiness, and championships with Husker fans. Why? Probably because Nebraska has struggled for the last 20 years, and a big reason is average to poor offensive line play.
The original "Pipeline" was made up of:
These five will be at the Hail Varsity Club in La Vista on Friday night, April 21, from 6-9 PM. This meet and greet is the night before the Spring Game and is presented by Pipeline Jerkey.
On this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast Presented by BetFred Sports. Dr. Rob and Travis Justice are drinking beer and eating Pipeline Jerky with the Center of the Pipeline, Aaron Graham. Aaron was the lone Junior starter on the 1994 National Championship O-Line and had the luxury of two National Championship rings. So, was the 1995 O-Line really the 1994 backups, as Dr. Rob has said hundreds of times on this podcast?
After Nebraska, Aaron played six years in the NFL and is now living in Gretna and President at National Land Realty. The best part about having Aaron on the podcast, he has all the dirt and funny stories about Dr. Rob!
It's going to be a busy weekend! First, see The Pipeline on Friday night. Then, the Spring Game is on Saturday. Then on Sunday afternoon, come to Kros Strain Brewing in La Vista, as we will be recording the podcast on location! Of course, there will be a food truck and always great beer!

Fresh off the Final Four, college basketball Referee and Omaha resident John Higgins is the latest guest to come to the basement on the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports.
John tells some incredible stories about his journey as a referee that started when he was a student at Kearney State. Now with nine Final Fours under his belt, John is one, if not the most recognizable college basketball referee in the country.
The "fame" comes with a downside; he also might be one of the most despised officials. When you do big games, and fans don't like the calls you make, they will let you hear it. Sometimes it hits a little too close to home. Listen to the entire podcast for some crazy stories!
Off the basketball court, John owns and operates the Rooferees! John Higgins Weatherguard is a roofing and siding company.

Bill Busch was thrown into the Defensive Coordinator job after four games into Nebraska's Season. The numbers don't lie; the Blackshirts got better with Busch in charge. Read this article for more information.
Busch didn't make a difference on defense for Nebraska in 2022; as the Special Teams Coordinator, Busch was in charge of a massive turnaround; again, the numbers don't lie! A +451 improvement in six different categories from 2021 to 2022.
Despite the numbers and being a Pender, Nebraska native, Matt Rhule did not retain Busch. Today he's hanging out doing morning radio on 93.7 The Ticket in Lincoln. Busch is also on the speaking circuit, talking to groups and companies about overcoming adversity.
Well, now he is making his first appearance on the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports. Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice have been criticized before about not talking enough about football. That is not the case in this episode. If you like football, you will geek out for the next hour and forty-five minutes.

Spring practice for the Huskers starts on Monday, March 20. In the past Spring seasons, fans were focused on the quarterback battle or who the top running back will be. Instead, everyone will be dialed in on new Head Coach Matt Rhule and his staff this year.
The expectations at Nebraska have never changed. However, it's no secret that the results have not matched the expectations, and that's why the Huskers are starting over with their sixth new Head Coach since 1998.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatehcka sit down with Mitch Sherman from The Athletic and discuss the expectations for Spring Practice and if we are going to learn anything about what this team is capable of doing.
Also, how many players will be leaving after the Spring Season? It might be more than you think! Right now, there are not enough scholarships to go around.
Mitch also gives us his insight into the recruitment of quarterback Dylan Riola. Riola made a big splash on his recent visit to Lincoln. Was his high visibility at the basketball an indication of his comfortability and maybe showing his cards on his college selection? We discuss.

Clete Blakeman was a three-year letter winner at quarterback for the University of Nebraska. But he's made a more prominent name for himself as one of the top officials in the National Football League.
Clete cut his teeth as an official following in his dad's footsteps in the high school ranks in Nebraska and small colleges in the Midwest. He jumped to the Big 12 Conference in 2000 and the NFL in 2008, where he spent two seasons as a Field Judge. He was promoted to the White Hat (Referee) in 2010. He was the Referee for Super Bowl 50.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, we have a long conversation with Clete about all things officiating. A fascinating story of how he got started to where he is now. For you video game enthusiasts, Since 2013, Blakeman's voice and likeness have been used for penalty announcements in the Madden NFL franchise.

College athletics is a BIG business. So here's some news that will shock no one; it will keep getting bigger.
When Trev Alberts took the job at Nebraska to be the Athletic Director, he wanted to surround himself with people he trusted. So one of the first people he turned to was Doug Ewald. The fancy title Ewald has is Executive Associate Athletic Director-Chief Financial Officer. In layman's terms, he's the bean counter for a budget of well over $ 100 million.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice sit down and talk money with Doug. The ever-changing landscape of NIL and what the future holds for paying players. Has selling alcohol at Pinnacle Bank Arena been the financial windfall some people thought it would be? And with USC and UCLA joining the Big 10, what does this mean for travel budgets and the strain on student-athletes?
There's a lot to digest in our hour-long conversation. But one thing is for sure; there's more to an athletic department than most of us even know.

Former Husker fullback Willie Miller has a story that could one day be made into a movie. You will hear much of the story by listening to this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports.
When Miller graduated in 2000, he was in so much pain, and he knew that his football career was over. He needed surgery but was no longer a student-athlete; Nebraska was not going to pay for it even though his injuries were from him wearing the scarlet and cream.
Miller turned to painkillers. They worked. However, masking the pain doesn't solve the problem. In fact, it creates a bigger one. Addiction.
Massive weight gain, homelessness, disability, suicidal thoughts, and a near-death experience has Miller on the road to redemption.
He's fit, remarried, and now an operating room nurse at Methodist Hospital.
In this powerful hour-long plus, Miller is open and honest about the demons he's faced and offers hope to those who are going through a similar journey.
He's now becoming a resource for former athletes with Athletes Revived. Its mission is Keeping Hope Alive. In 2017, Miller got the surgery he desperately needed, thanks to the generosity of the Nebraska Greats Foundation.

Are the Huskers any better with Mickey Joesph as the interim Head Coach than when Scott Frost was leading the team earlier in the year?
Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka discuss this topic on the latest episode of the Doc Talk podcast presented by BetFred Sports. Why are we talking about it? Our friend Scott Spreitzer who joins us every Wednesday for "Behind The Point" spread, says Nebraska is worse in his power rankings now than before Mickey took over. Of course, many factors go into these power rankings, but with a 3-8 record, there's no hiding the fact that Nebraska ain't that good.
The Huskers have one last game to show things are getting better for the next head coach, whoever that might be. But, the truth is, a win over Iowa would help heal some of the deep wounds that have been cut over this season.
The showdown with the Hawkeyes is turning into quite a rivalry game. Fans don't care that much for each other. Nebraska hasn't beaten Iowa since Bo Pelini was the Head Coach. The Huskers can keep Iowa out of the Big Ten Championship game this year. This has the potential to be a Black Friday that gives us the drama of college football that we crave.

The Golden Calf is a false idol. But, unfortunately, it's tempting to worship it when there seems to be no hope or, in this case, no answers.
The Golden Calf I am referring to is every internet rumor that claims to know who the next Nebraska Football Coach will be. Last week it was Deion Sanders. The week before that, Matt Ruhle. The people that are starting these rumors have one motivation, clicks. That's right, clicks. They feed off your emotions of wanting something so badly that you will listen to anything by clicking on their rumors and lining their pockets with money.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss why they aren't falling for any rumors and won't believe a thing until Trev Alberts personally names the next head coach. The Nebraska Athletic Director has owned the process since he fired Scott Frost. So there's no way Trev will let anything slip through the cracks with just a couple of weeks left in the process.
The search for a new coach is vitally important. The Huskers have again failed to make a bowl game. As a result, instilling a new culture and direction takes on greater importance. But what's left for this year's team? Two games to play, and the only thing to play for now is pride.

The rumors were flying last week leading up to the Minnesota game. Trev Alberts had found his coach, and an announcement was imminent. We now know there was no truth to the rumors.
Nebraska lost to Minnesota 20-13 and is not one loss away from not being bowl eligible for a sixth consecutive season. Six!
Where there's smoke, there's fire, right? This Doc Talk Podcast, presented by BetFred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss the possibility of an announcement coming this week. If it does, there are only two options to pick from, Mickey Joseph has the interim tag removed, or Matt Ruhle. Otherwise, it's a wait until the regular season is over.
The Huskers had a chance against Minnesota. It was a tale of two halves. In the end, the Huskers couldn't stop Mohamed Ibrahim who rushed for 128-yards and two touchdowns. Also, the Golden Gophers had the football almost 10-minutes longer than the Huskers.

It's official. Nebraska has a backup quarterback problem. It became painfully obvious when Casey Thompson was knocked out of the game against Illinois. Chubba Purdy came in and was 3 of 8 passing for 15-yards and one interception.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka admits the backup quarterback situation is concerning but says don't hit the panic button just yet. He believes if Purdy had a whole week working with the number one offense and getting the majority of snaps, think might, and we stress might be different.
The Huskers will have their hands full with another Big 10 West opponent on Saturday. An 11:00 AM kickoff against Minnesota. The Gophers will try and ground and pound just like Illinois did a week ago.

There's only one thing that matters from here on out. Scoreboard. The Purdue game is a perfect example. Nebraska got kicked around statistically, yet the Huskers could have and maybe should have won the game.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice break down the Big 10 West Division, starting with the Huskers game on Saturday with Illinois. The Fighting Illini are ranked 17th this week and in the driver's seat in the division. At this point of the season, Nebraska is what it is on both sides of the ball. Talent aside, the Huskers are playing with more passion under interim Head Coach Mickey Joesph and can win every game remaining on the schedule except for Michigan. Does passion alone win football games? Of course not, but if you can keep the score close, it might be the difference in pulling off an upset.
Nebraska did score a big win during the off-week, getting a commitment from Lincoln East Malachi Coleman. As an athlete, Coleman is a freak. Right now, he's a wide receiver with a huge upside. However, Dr. Rob offers a different take on where he would like to see Coleman on the field, which might surprise you. It will be interesting to get your feedback on his take.

Dr. Rob just returned from visiting his oldest daughter, who attends Florida State school. He attended the Clemson vs. Florida State game. Randomly in this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, the topic of traditions came up. There are many traditions we know about in schools in the South. This begs the question, does Nebraska have any traditions?
That's not an easy question to answer. Is it the releasing of balloons after the first touchdown? Is it the pipeline? Is it the black shirts? But, seriously, in the landscape of college football, what excellent college football traditions do the Huskers add to the landscape? Also, we want to know if you remember the failed attempt at an Alma Matter song by Chip Davis back when Bill Byrne was the Athletic Director. If you do, you are probably trying to forget it!
Also, former Nebraska Volleyball coach Terry Pettit took a shot on Twitter last week at those who put out "Report Cards" after games. Dr. Rob puts out a report card. We respond the criticism and respectfully disagree with coach Pettit.

Did that headline get your attention? Well, a Nebraska fan didn't like Dr. Rob's report card for the Rutgers game and proclaimed Dr. Rob a bum!
Well, the bum is back again this week, and he's bringing his knowledge and expertise to the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports.
This week Dr. Rob goes in deep on Anthony Grant. The Nebraska running back is one of the best in the country, currently 8th nationally in rushing yards, despite a crappy offensive line.
Also, Dr. Rob assesses Trey Palmer at wide receiver and Casey Thompson at quarterback. Despite the great individual performances, Dr. Rob tells Travis Justice that the Huskers will still have their hands full at Purdue in the battle for the Big 10 West Division lead.

Is Nebraska's win over Indiana feeding false hope into the fan base? Dr. Rob isn't ready to go that far. However, in this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sportsbook, Dr. Rob and Travis Justice remind everyone that the Hoosiers aren't a very good team and were missing two of their best wide receivers. Dr. Rob's report card for the game was not as generous as many would have liked coming off a win.
Dr. Rob's Report Card
Dr. Rob is particularly critical of the offensive line. Specifically the play of Bryce Benhart and Turner Corcoran. Dr. Rob knows a thing or two about O-Line play and knows the Huskers running and passing games could be much better if the line or the personnel changed.
The win over Indiana is a step in the right direction for Nebraska. The confidence builder is a Huge boost for coaches, players, and fans. It is hard not to look ahead because of Nebraska's favorable schedule. Yes, winning the West division is not out of the question. Why? Because the West is horrible! No team jumps out as a clear front-runner. We believe that every game Nebraska left on Nebraska's schedule is winnable except for Michigan. Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves; just because they are winning it's also a reminder every game can easily be lost.
You can buy beer at Nebraska basketball games this season. When will you be able to do the same at football games? Dr. Rob says a year, maybe two.

The Nebraska fan base seemed to be a lot less stressed this past week. Maybe the week off was as much needed for the fan base as it was for the players?
In this week's Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sportsbook, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss if a week off can fix all the problems the Nebraska football team faces.
Up next for Nebraska is Indiana. The Hoosiers are coming off their first season loss, falling to Cincinnati. Indiana didn't do itself any favors by turning the ball over three times and allowing the Bearcats to score 14-points in a time span of 10-seconds. All part of a 28-point 2nd quarter for Cincinnati.
The rumor mill was running a full speed during the off week. Many stories, podcasts, and videos discuss who would be the ideal candidate for the Nebraska job. Dr. Rob and Travis don't have a strong opinion one way or another as they both agree it's a crap shoot on whether or not one coach succeeds and one doesn't.
Many people are watching Dave Aranda at Baylor, Matt Campbell at Iowa State, Lance Liepold at Kansas, Chris Klieman at Kansas State, and Troy Calhoun at Air Force. There are a lot of reasons to take the Nebraska job if you are one of these coaches. However, with other jobs opening up, one big reason NOT to move to Lincoln could be living up to expectations. Sure, most coaches want a challenge, but Nebraska has had three head coaches in the last ten years, and many could argue that the expectations of success or the time given to get there are unrealistic.

Last week it was Scott Frost. This week it's Defensive Coordinator Eric Chinander who is fired. Let's be honest; this is not exactly a huge shock as many people think he should have been fired right along with Frost.
The Nebraska defense was horrible against Oklahoma. Giving up 312-Rushing yards and 49 unanswered points. Mickey Joseph was left with little joins as he tries to salvage a season where Nebraska is not 1-3. If there was ever a time for a bye week, this is it! Will there be more changes? Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss on this week's Doc Talk Podcast!

This podcast is a replay of the live show Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka did the night Scott Frost was fired as Nebraska's Head Coach.
Mickey Joseph will serve as Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2022 season. Nebraska lost to Georgia Southern last night 45-42 in Frost's last game as Head Coach. The Huskers are 1-2 on the season.
Frost ends his Nebraska coaching career with a 16-31 record, 0-13 against ranked teams, and 5-19 in games decided by 7 points or less. Frost failed to produce a winning season at Nebraska and never qualified for a bowl game. Frost, a National Championship-winning quarterback for the Huskers, came to Nebraska following an undefeated season at Central Florida. He was considered a "Home Run" hire who could unite the fan base. The Wood River native is scheduled to receive a $15-million buyout of his contract.

On paper, 38-17 looks like a pretty good final score as Nebraska beats North Dakota. However, Doctor Rob Zatechka says there is a lot of work to make a believer out of him going forward. The next real measuring stick will be the Oklahoma game in a couple of weeks. First, Nebraska must get through Georgia Southern, coached by former USC Head Coach Clay Helton. Georgia Southern scored 59-points in a win last weekend.
In this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sportsbook. Dr. Rob breaks down his report card from the North Dakota game. Yes, his grading scale is a little weird, but things will make a lot more sense after he explains it.
Dr. Rob and Travis Justice spend a lot of time discussing the offense. Specifically the offensive line and the running game. The runningbacks are in place and impressive. Will the offensive line be able to hold up for the season to support them?
The defense is also discussed, as well as the improvement in the special teams, which we all know can be the difference between winning and losing.
Despite the win, there was plenty of audible booing at Memorial Stadium. This has some fans upset; you should never boo the players. But is booing a bad thing? Dr. Rob and Travis discuss.
The College Football Playoff is expanding. This is a good thing, and Dr. Rob goes in deep on how a 12-team playoff adds more value to the regular season than the four-team format we have now.

If you don't like the F-word, best stop listening right now.
At the Betfred Sportsbook Nebraska was a 13.5-point favorite on Wednesday night. At game time on Saturday morning, that line had dropped to 10. Still, a double-digit spread, but that is some major movement.
Northwestern 31 Nebraska 28.
You have to be F-in kidding! What was supposed to be the good fortune of the Irish for Nebraska turned into the horror movie Leprechaun! The only good part about the day was all the free beer because the internet was down at the stadium.
The pressure is mounting, and all eyes are on Scott Frost. As much as he talks about the culture being the best it's been, he said a couple of things in his post-game press conference that would have you believe maybe that's not the case.
Dr. Rob sounds off on another disappointing loss for Nebraska on this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sportsbook. Additionally, he goes in-depth and the grades he handed out for the game.

*Programing Note, this edition of the BetFred Sports Doc Talk podcast was recorded before Casey Thompson was named the starting quarterback. And before Scott Frost claimed the offensive line has been puking a lot in practice because they have been working so hard.
Also, we swear on this podcast. If you don't like swear words, don't listen.
We are a week away from the season opener—Nebraska vs. Northwestern in Dublin, Ireland. The Husker will head across the pond on Monday to acclimate to the time change and the surroundings.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive into the opponent. Northwestern has been a roller coaster as of late. First place, last place, first place, last place. Is this year the Wildcats start heading back uphill? To find out, we welcome Louie Vaccher to the podcast. Louie is a Northwestern graduate and runs the Wildcat Report, part of the Rivals Network.
Last year, Nebraska steamrolled Northwestern 56-7. Louie is not expecting the same outcome in Dublin. For that to be true, the Wildcats need to find consistent quarterback play, not turn the ball over and see tremendous improvement on the defensive side of the ball, especially when it comes to giving up points, something Northwestern did a lot of last season.
Louie gets a lot of Nebraska in his house. Find out his Big Red connection and what is on the line every time the Huskers and Cats play.
The Big Ten Conference has a new TV deal. Seven years, $ 8 billion. Yes, that's with a B! By the end of the contract, schools will be getting close to $100 million yearly in media rights money. That's insane cash and shows you how much there is to go around. So get ready to watch games on FOX, CBS, NBC, and Peacock. Some are concerned about no conference games on ABC or ESPN. Should they be? Dr. Rob and Travis discuss.
The Doc Talk Podcast is going live! We will be at Kros Strain Brewing in La Vista on Tuesday, August 23. Setting up around 6:30 and going live at 7:00. Izzy's Pizza bus will be there to serve food. And how about the beer specials? $5 pours of Rules Don't Apply hefeweizen and Tippy Cup low cal, low carb light lager! If you can't join us in person, you can listen live on Podbean and even call into the show!

We swear in this episode. Not very much, but we do swear.
We are less than two weeks away from the season opener. There was no media availability after Sunday’s scrimmage. On Saturday, Head Coach Scott Frost said he would have more answers to the pressing questions heading into the long road trip to Ireland to play Northwestern after the Scrimmage.
In this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice welcome Mitch Sherman from the Athletic into the studio. This is the podcast to listen to if you want a serious football discussion. Yes, we still drink beer. Yes, we still go off on tangents. But Mitch provides great insight into fall camp and a deep dive on the runningbacks and offensive line.

Proceed with caution; we say naughty words.
Almost two weeks into Fall Camp and things are changing daily. Based on comments made this past week by Offensive Coordinator Mark Whipple, it would appear that Casey Thompson is the number one quarterback and takes most of the snaps. Of course, nothing will be official until the depth chart is released, and we know that Scott Frost wants to wait as long as possible for that to happen.
In this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice play a little game of what we hear and think. We heard Whipple talk on Wednesday after practice and Bill Busch on Thursday. In general, both coaches were positive about the way things were going but were there some hidden messages in what they were saying? We think so, and we will give you our opinion about the quarterbacks, the offensive line, and the special teams.
We have a guest this week. Bryan Bennett from Betfred Sports joins us to discuss our relationship with the sportsbook. You’ll want t to listen to this as he drops a shocker on us when it comes to placing a future bet on Nebraska on the over/under for the number of wins. It might not be a safe bet anymore.
Additionally, we drink beer from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and California and discuss some exciting new content pieces we have coming up during the season.

The Huskers have started practice, and Big 10 Media Days have come and gone! What does this mean for the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports? Well, it means we are now balls to the wall with an episode weekly from now until the end of the season.
Dr. Rob Zatecka and Travis Justice go full-on football and beer tonight! First, the beer from North Texas That packs a punch! The Double Half-Life from the Manhattan Project Brewing Company is 8%. The Full Grown Man from Topps Brewery is a whopping 12%. Needless to say, Dr.Rob stayed in the studio long after the recording stopped!
Scott Frost had an awkward start to Big 10 Media Days. The start of his press conference was silent. Finally, he broke the ice by asking questions. He got plenty and addressed being on the hot seat, which is no surprise to anyone.
The Huskers have started practice and will go three days on and one day off. Are there advantages to this routine? Are there disadvantages? We discuss it as the countdown to the season opener in Ireland against Northwestern.
As always, we go down several rabbit holes, football and non-football related. Grilled cheese sandwiches are a major topic of conversation. How many slices of cheese do you like? Yes, we actually discuss this on the podcast. Here’s a hint, Dr. Rob goes full-on gourmet with his grilled cheese.

Warning! We swear. There, you’ve been warned.
Close your eyes and paint a picture. What does your ultimate mancave look like? Okay, maybe we shouldn’t assign gender to this. What does your ultimate basement room dedicated to sports look like?
Some of you already have your dream room that’s full of Husker memorabilia, photos, jerseys, etc. Some people will pump a ton of money into their cave to create the ultimate miniature sports museum.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, we have a conversation with Jerry Quickel. Jerry and Dr. Rob are connections on Twitter. Jerry got a lot of attention when he put all the helmets he owns in his front yard. There are over 400! New helmets arrive daily, and he keeps making room for them in his basement. These full-sized helmets span the NFL, USFL, NCAA (all divisions), NAIA, and Junior Colleges.
How does one get all these helmets? How does one store all these helmets? Are there any helmets he doesn’t have? We answer all these questions in our interview.
Big 12 Media Days are in the books. The SEC Media Days are going on as we recorded this edition. The Big 12 and PAC 12 have stopped talking. The SEC says it’s steady with 16 teams and not looking to expand right now. So now what? A lot of wait-and-see. Keep in mind we recorded this on Monday, July 18. After we were done, Notre Dame announced it would stay independent if it could get $ 75 million yearly from its NBC deal. Right now, the Irish bring in $22 million from the Peacock Network from their current deal.

Come on, who doesn’t love Dairy Queen Ice Cream? We get into the subject towards the end of the episode.
On this week’s Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice pick up the conversation where they left off last week. Conference realignment. Nothing monumental has happened since USC and UCLA announced plans to bolt for the Big 10 but there are tremors and more change in the college football landscape is not a matter of if, but when.
All eyes are on Notre Dame, it is the golden ticket for both the Big Ten and the SEC. If the Irish choose to join a conference it could mean game, set, and match in the race for the almighty dollar and CFB supremacy.
But Notre Dame isn’t the only school at play here. The SEC is looking to expand and the schools being mentioned are:
All from the ACC. But where does this leave Miami? Does the “U” have enough clout to get invited to the Big Boys Club?
Do a combined PAC-12 and Big 12 move the needle and provide any value to TV networks that are even a comparison to the SEC and Big 10? I think we know the answer to that.
If you like two dudes drinking and bantering about football for an hour, then this episode is right up your alley!

Before you listen any further. This podcast is hosted by two men who drink beer. There will be times when there is swearing, including the "F" word. If you are offended easily, best to turn off now. Also, we talk about and partake in alcoholic beverages and gambling.
What a week for the Big 10 Conference! The college football landscape as we know it continues to experience seismic shifts. Starting in 2024, the Big 10 will stretch from sea to shining sea with the addition of USC and UCLA.
When the news dropped, the entire world seemed shocked at the major coup Big 10 Commissioner Kevin Warren pulled off. However, if you went back almost a year ago, we discussed the possibility of it happening right here on the podcast.
In this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive further into what conference expansion looks like. We've said it before, and we will repeat it, it's not about what schools provide the best competition to the rest of the league. Instead, the school or region can bring the most eyeballs, which means more money.
How about the College Football Playoff? What will that look like? You may not like the answer, but our theory is to get ready for another division that separates the haves from the have-nots. So here's a hint, you want to be in the Big 10 or the SEC.

Have you ever been to a kid's game-baseball, basketball, soccer, you name it, and a parent in the stands acted like Bo Pelini on the sideline? You have our permission to say sit down and shut up!
In an unexpected start to this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss a recent interview Travis did on his radio show with NCAA Basketball referee John Higgins. John recently officiated a 15-year-old AAU basketball game with his son when a player and a coach verbally assaulted him. You can read more about the altercation and listen to the interview by CLICKING HERE. If you witness something like this, you have our permission to tell a parent to sit down and shut up!
Travis was recently a guest on the No Block, No Rock Podcast. He told some good stories about his time covering Nebraska football, including when Coach Tom Osborne called him upset about a commentary that he had done.
Travis also sparked a nerve with many fans when he said NIL money for high school recruits was a big gamble. Dr. Rob and Travis dig in deeper to comment to understand what was said fully. It's a good debate that ends in some agreement.

Name, image, and likeness have changed college athletics drastically. However, one of the most significant changes that we like is the accessibility to student-athletes and their ability to come on podcasts like ours.
We did NOT pay Luke Reimer and Nick Henrich to be on this episode, for the record. However, they are in the studio with Gerrod Lambrecht from ABM, a branding and marketing firm representing Nebraska student-athletes.
In this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast Presented by Betfred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice have an entertaining conversation with Reimer, Henrich, and Lambrecht. We talk a lot about the NIL process, how it works with Nebraska student-athletes, and its impact in the locker room, if any. And what are these guys spending their money on?
Don't worry; we also talk about the upcoming football season and the pressure with it. Of course, players don't need to be reminded, but we do anyway, that they need to win and win now!

Dr. Rob is clean-shaven, for now! During the month of May, he will be growing a mustache to raise money for Mustaches for Kids! It may sound a bit absurd but this charity has raised over $4.7 million for various charities that benefit kids since 2009. This year the money raised is going to Kids Can and Child Saving Institute. You can help Dr. Rob get to the top of the leaderboard by donating to his campaign, just click HERE. We will be giving growth updates periodically on Twitter.
Lots to cover and lots to drink in the latest edition of the Doc Talk Podcast. We know a lot of you are sick and tired of us talking about NIL which is now really just pay for play. The NCAA is now considering action against teams that a blatantly breaking the rules and setting standards for NIL moving forward. But is now the time to do it? NCAA President Mark Emmert announced he was stepping down. Under the leadership of Emmert, the NCAA in our opinion and that of many others has been a complete joke! Should the NCAA wait for a new President to take action or should it reign in what is currently out of control?
Nebraska gets slapped on the hand by the NCAA. Really? We have players getting million-dollar deals and fancy cars and it seems more concerned with giving Scott Frost a one-year show cause because an analyst did some “coaching”? The absurdity is frustrating and comical at the same time.
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice also talk about the recent transfer portal addition for the Huskers. There is a lot of hype, but can the players live up to it? Really, only time will tell.
We drink a couple of different beers in this edition. Some from South Dakota and some from Wisconsin. Thanks to our loyal listeners for sending us these fine brews. If you think we are missing out on something good to drink, let us know!
Speaking of great craft beer. The next recording of the Doc Talk Podcast will be Tuesday, May 17th at Kros Strain Draftworks at Millwork Commons! Join us on location and have some fun with us.
We will start recording at 7:00 and we will be there until at least 9, probably a little longer.
Not only is it a great time to drink great, local craft beer from Kros Strain, but it’s also a good opportunity to scope out your hangout for the Big 10 Baseball Tournament and the College World Series. You will find out as we have, Draftworks at Millwork Commons is perfect.

Former Husker Adam Carriker is known for being open, honest, and telling it as he sees it on his podcast and his “Carriker Chronicles” videos for the Omaha World-Herald.
Dr. Rob has been a guest on Adam’s podcast so we thought it was time to invite Adam to Doc Talk.
Besides football, we go in deep and discuss Adam’s recent health scare. The lesson learned here is don’t wait to go to the doctor! Be we dive deeper into other issues as well including former players feeling “welcome” within the Nebraska football program. Athletic Director Trev Alberts says he wants all former players to feel welcome back, no matter who their coach was. Dr. Rob and Adam give their own personal experiences on the subject.
We do talk a little about the Spring Game as Adam’s love for professional wrestling!

Full disclosure, Dr. Rob will not be at the Spring Game on Saturday. He will be watching closely on TV where he can rewind and watch plays over and over again.
Dr. Rob says to keep an eye on the offensive line and special teams. Dr. Rob knows the new offensive scheme will get all the oohs and aha, but a Spring game is not the place to gauge how much progress has been made. That will come with real competition in the fall.

Hold on to your beer! This episode of the Doc Talk Podcast dives into a subject that a lot of you have passionate opinions about. Transgender athletes and completing in in sports.
Lia Thomas transitions from male to female and wins an NCAA title in swimming. She has been talked about debated, even ridiculed over her ability to complete. In this episode, we talk about what is right and wrong and what's fair and unfair. Here's a hint, they are not the same in our opinion.
Don't worry, we talk about football. Where the Huskers at this point in the Spring practice on the one player Dr. Rob thinks will transfer when practice wraps up.

The results are in! Over 21,000 fans responded to the fan experience survey for Memorial Stadium. Everything from seat comfort, to alcohol sales, and gambling. On this edition of the Doc Talk podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice go through the survey results page by page and give their opinion on the results.
The first week of Spring practice is in the books. All eyes are on Casey Thompson and the quarterbacks. However, it's what Scott Frost said about the offensive line that has Dr. Rob paying attention. Also, the one thing that coach Frost said that gives hope that he's no longer treading water as a head coach, there seems to be some breathing room with assistant coaching hires.
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice are hitting the road! They will be in Grand Island on Monday, April 18th. The Platt Deutsche Ball Room is located at 1315 West Anna Street. We are told the drinks are cheap but stiff! Social hour starts at 6:00 PM and the program at 7:00 PM. It’s a free event, but there will be a goodwill collection for the Nebraska greats foundation. The night is made possible by Tom Strand of Strand Financial and Roger Nesbitt of Unified Ag Solutions.

Joe Moglia has a lot of things to say about the NCAA, name, image, likeness, and the transfer portal. The Doc Talk Podcast is the perfect place for him to speak freely and unfiltered. The former Coastal Carolina Head Coach recently penned an article for Forbes where he discussed whether or not the NCAA should break up. You can read it by clicking HERE. This podcast goes from 0 to 100 in about 30 seconds and keeps the pedal to the metal for almost an hour and a half.
Moglia’s college football coaching career is unlike most everyone in the profession. Back in the 80s, he had a choice to make; move his family to Miami to be an assistant and possible Defensive Coordinator for the Hurricane. Or take a job with Merrill Lynch and start making money to support his family. At the time, assistants were barely making enough to put bread on the table, let alone a roof over your head.
Moglia made the right choice. After 17-years at Merrill Lynch, he became the CEO at TD Ameritrade. He would become Chairman in 2009 until Charles Schwab acquired the company in 2020. At close, the combined company was worth $100 BILLION with client assets of $7 TRILLION. When Joe arrived, these numbers were $700 million and $24 Billion.
Moglia never lost the itch to get back in the football game despite his magic with leading teams and companies in the financial markets. So in 2008 he took an internship, so to speak, with Bo Pelini and the University of Nebraska. That experience fueled his fire to become a college head coach.
In 2012, Joe became the Head Football Coach at Coastal Carolina, and in his first five seasons, his teams went to the National Playoffs all five years, and he was Conference Champion 4 times. His overall record was 56-22 for a .718 winning percentage. In his last 11 years of college coaching, he was a part of 8 championship teams. He has also received multiple Coach of the Year honors, including the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year award. In addition, he was the recipient of the Vince Lombardi Award and was inducted into the Lombardi Hall of Fame. He was also selected to the Big South Conference All-Decade Team.
Moglia lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and the weather is almost perfect! He is no longer on the Chanticleers sideline. He is Chairman of Fundamental Global Investors and Capital Wealth Advisors and Chair of Athletics, and Executive Advisor to the President at Coastal Carolina University.

Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice try and avoid penalty flags in this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast.
Kyle DeBuse, who serves as a Big 10 Conference official, is in this studio. Kyle lives in Elkhorn and has been a college football official since 2011. Kyle was the Side Judge for the Big 10 Championship game and provided honest answers to making tough calls on the field. One thing that surprised both Dr. Rob and Travis is the amount of work that goes into being an official during the off-season and the season. If you don't think officials are held accountable for the calls they make, think again!
Also, on this podcast, we touch on the recently completed high school wrestling tournament, the personnel mess with the Husker women's basketball team, and recent 2023 verbal commit, offensive lineman Sam Sledge.

If you don’t follow Dr. Rob on Twitter, you should. He fires off a lot of one-liners daily and isn’t afraid to go against popular belief now and then. But, being a doctor, he usually backs up his 280 character wisdom with sound logic.
The mascots at the University of Nebraska are ordinary balloons that Dr. Rob throws darts at. He wants Herbie to have blond hair again, and he wants Lil’ Red just to pop and go away. On this edition of the Doc Talk podcast, Travis Justice gets into a deeper conversation with Dr. Rob about his dislike for the current state of the Husker mascots. Yes, they even discuss the most recent controversy of changing the Herbie logo from holding an okay sign up with his cartoon-drawn hands to him posing, saying Nebraska is #1! But it’s this last one that has portions of the fan base fired up! David Max, the publisher of Husker Max, stops by the podcast to talk about one of his latest business ventures, Fanalytix. For years David and his team have been providing fans with great content. However, what fans want has changed over the years, and Fanalytix is a game-changer for visual content. We live in a day and age of big data. If you drill deep enough into the numbers, you can find many pressing answers to why a team wins and why it loses. Fanalytix data is available for all Nebraska games, the Power Five teams, and the NFL. They say a picture says 1000 words. Well, a Fanalytix graphic shows you what four quarters of a game look like with the ability to dive in even deeper.
The Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday, and former Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor is the Head Coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. Husker fans are showing their support for Taylor, who miraculously has made people look more fondly on the Bill Callahan era, even if it is for a week or two.

I know people think this is a football podcast, and it is during the football season. But, during the off-season, we go in many different directions.
Nebraska basketball has been wrong all season. It's getting worse! The Huskers blew a lead at home late on Saturday and lost to Rutgers 63-61. At this recording, Nebraska is 6-15 overall and 0-10 in the Big 10.
During the football season, there was a lot of speculation about the job status of Scott Frost. Fred Hoiberg is sitting on a seat that is flaming hot. Fred has an 18-million dollar buyout of his contract Trev Alberts fires him. Can Nebraska afford to get rid of Hoiberg? The bigger question might be, can they afford not to get rid of him?
We don't ignore football in this episode. We talk a lot about name, image, and likeness and the almost weekly changes in this space. What will Nebraska do to keep pace with competitors like Ohio State? A major booster for the Buckeyes started a NIL charitable fund for athletes and hired former Buckeye quarterback Cardel Jones to run it, making him a de facto General Manager. It's the wild, wild west out there folks with no boundaries and a lot of money to be made.
What about the Big 10 Conference thinking about getting rid of divisions and eliminating one conference game? We dive into this topic; our opinion is that it's a good thing because of where college football is going. The league is thinking 5-10 years down the road and giving conference teams the best shot at making an expanded college football playoff.

Full disclosure. I type this intro to the Doc Talk Podcast after drinking a lot, and I mean a lot of beer from Bottle Rocket beer out of Seward, Nebraska. We drink two different kinds of Bottle Rocket during this podcast, the Golden Stout and the Juicy Burst. We were not paid to drink these beers; in fact, we paid for them. All we can say, worth every penny!
Our discussion tonight zeros in on the good, the bad, and the ugly of transferring at the college level and the high school ranks. Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice talk about the recent controversy in Nebraska Class A football with Greta being forced to vacate its state championship.
That discussion moved on to the college transfer portal and how Nebraska may, or rather should, benefit from the players it has acquired.

Dave Rimington. That's right, the greatest Center is college football history, and a long-time supporter of the Doc Talk Podcast joins us for a conversation that covers a lot of different topics.
You may or may not know this, but Dave is a brand new man! He's lost over 140 pounds, had both of his knees replaced, and now can walk for miles and miles without any pain.
At one time, Dave thought he wanted to be the Athletic Director at Nebraska. He held the position on an interim basis in 2017. Did he want the job in the summer of 2021 when Bill Moose left? Hell no!
Dave is now retired and looking forward to continuing his traveling and taking photos. As you listen to the podcast, you will hear it in his voice; the one thing he wants the most is to see Nebraska start winning again on the football field. But he knows in the day and age of NIL, winning will come with a price tag, and he wonders if Nebraska and its boosters have enough cash to keep up.
We want to welcome our newest sponsor of the Doc Talk Podcast. Connor Orr, an attorney with Erickson & Sederstrom. Erickson & Sederstrom is a full-service firm providing representation to clients for more than 50 years. They have 28 attorneys with licenses in 7 different states.

In addition to working with athletes, Connor can also work with businesses wanting to put name, image, and likeness deals together to help grow your business.

One more thing, if you have time, give this podcast a five-star rating and a review!
Now that we have your attention, let's explain. If you are a Nebraska fan, the good news is that the Huskers finally have a committed quarterback. Former Texas starter Casey Thompson who has two years of eligibility remaining, has said he's coming to Lincoln. His numbers as the starting quarterback for the Longhorns were impressive despite NOT leading Texas to a bowl game. He'll compete with Logan Smothers for the starting position. We would be shocked to start the 2022 season when Nebraska opens up against Northwestern if he's not under center. Signing Thompson is also an indication that Nebraska will be a pass-first offense under new Offensive Coordinator Mark Whipple.
But the day and age of the transfer portal and NIL, Thompson most likely didn't come to Nebraska without some monetary incentive. Yes, it will cost money, sometimes lots of to land big names. Just look at Texas A&M it's been reported that the Aggies, okay, not the school but the boosters spent $25-$30-million to secure what is considered the best recruiting class in the history of college football. Like it or not, Pandora's Box is now open, and this is what we can expect in college football from here on out.
Dr. Rob tells us how much he thinks it took to get Thompson to come to Lincoln on this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast. It's a significant number but well worth it if he can help turn around a once-proud program that is struggling.

Dr. Rob and Travis want to have a beer with you! If you don't want to drink with us, how about we hang out?
We would love to come to your service club, sports night, fundraiser, church group, you name it, and talk football.
It's not every day that you will get a fat, bald guy from Iowa and a brilliant bald guy who played football at Nebraska and in the NFL to be politically incorrect in front of your friends and family. But, old stories and new stories, nothing is off-limits. So let's make this happen.

2022 offers a unique opportunity to become an official sponsor/supporter of the Doc Talk Podcast.
Finding new customers is hard. Advertising in traditional media means you get lost in the shuffle with your competitors. So instead, reach a unique and diverse audience, and grow your business untraditionally through podcasting.
Every week, thousands of people from Nebraska, Iowa, the Midwest, and worldwide listen to me and Dr. Rob and our unfiltered conversations and opinions about football, beer, and life.
We understand how hard it is to compete in today's marketplace. Are you a traditional brick-and-mortar store, and fewer and fewer people are walking through your door? Do you have an online business and no visitors to your website? Do you have a unique service but don't know how to tell people about your expertise? We can help through targeted marketing and promotional strategies to customers that share a passion for Nebraska Football.
If you are interested in being part of one of the most popular Husker Football podcasts in the country, send an email to doctalksports@gmail.com. Sponsorships are for an entire season. We offer exclusivity to your product or service. But don't wait, there are only four sponsorships available. A
Two bald guys walk into a bar in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to record a podcast. (Go ahead and finish the joke on your own). It's no joke, as Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice were guests at Barley's in Council Bluffs to record their last Doc Talk podcast of 2021.
Recording in a bar is a lot different than recording in the studio, and over the next hour and twenty minutes, you might think we go in 50-different directions. But, here's what we can tell you, we cover a lot of things, including:
We also sit down with the Owner of Circa Sports, Derek Stevens. How does a Michigan man end up owning not one but three casinos? Also, Circa Sports Vice-President of Operations Mike Palm joins us. Although Mike is a big wig in the gambling world, his road to vegas is unique. Undergrad at Notre Dame, teaching at a Catholic middle school and dealing poker. Oh, and he's a Nebraska fan! An interview with Mike turns into Mike interviewing Dr. Rob, and it's classic!
This is our final episode of 2021; what a year it's been! Merry Christmas to you and your family, and Happy New Year! We had a record in listens, thank you! We will keep drinking beer and talking football and whatever else comes to mind in 2022!

Nebraska has some new names selling its product. Fans are excited to see what new Offensive Coordinator Mark Whipple and Offensive Line Coach Donovan Raiola bring to the Huskers. But, unfortunately, time might not be on their side as it's pretty clear that Scott Frost has one more season to right the Big Red Ship after a 3-9 season and the team's fifth straight without a bowl game.
On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice have a deep conversation about the new assistant coaches and what it means to recruit players. Nebraska's recruiting class is at or near the bottom of the Big 10 Conference if you believe the rankings. For a quicker turnaround to happen, watch the Transfer Portal become a source of proven and unproven talent Nebraska uses to start the rebuild.
Let's be honest. Nobody knows how this is going to play out. When Bill Moos hired Scott Frost and Fred Hoiberg, they have considered grand slam hires. But, unfortunately, both head coaches have failed to live up to their hype, and as Dr. Rob and Travis discuss in this episode, basketball is in a lot worse shape than football!
Do you want to hang out with Dr. Rob and Travis? Join them on Friday, December 17, at Barley's Bar, located at 114 West Broadway in Council Bluffs, Iowa. They will be recording a podcast on location and hanging out with Circa Sports Iowa! Yes, you can legally bet on sports in Iowa, so why not cross the river for some fun? Download the Circa Sports app, fund it and get a free drink and some Circa merch! All the fun starts at 3:00. Dr. Rob and Travis will be on location around 6:00 and start recording their podcast around 7:00.

Mickey Joseph is coming "home" so to speak for the former Nebraska quarterback is hired by Scott Frost to be part of the offensive rebuild at Nebraska. Joesph becomes the highest-paid Nebraska assistant in the history of the program and will be the Associated Head Coach, Passing Game Coordinator, and wide receivers coach. Joesph has spent the last five seasons as an assistant at LSU and is leaving Baton Rouge after Brian Kelly was hired as the Tiger's new head coach. Joesph is known as a solid recruiter which Nebraska will need. However, on this podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka explains why he's kind of surprised that Joesphy took the job. He also wonders if there good be more to it with Athletic Director Trev Alberts.
The College Football Playoff is set, Alabama, Michigan, Georgia, and Cincinnati make up the final four to play for the National Title. Dr. Rob and Travis Justice discuss the final four and what expansion would look like and if it would really help determine who the best team in the country is.

There's always next year. Really, what else can you say? Nebraska finishes the regular season 3-9, it's worst since the 1961 season. The only wins the Huskers were able to muster up in 2021:
Eight of Nebraska's nine losses were by 8-points or less. This has led many people to say Nebraska is the best 3-9 team in the country. Let's be honest, there is no such thing as 3-9 is just that, 3-9.
Ont this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice talk about the season-ending loss to Iowa and it followed the script for the entire season of disappointment and what-ifs. Yes, there's always next year, but will one more year be enough for Scott Frost? Listen to hear what Doctor Rob has to say.
Additionally, there are a lot of decisions that need to be made by Scott Frost in a short amount of time. He needs to fill the assistant coaching vacancies, Adrian Martinez needs to decide if he's coming back, and oh yes, there's recruiting.

The yearly showdown we wait patiently until the last game of the season for. The Hero's Game as Nebraska takes on Iowa. Or for you regular listeners to this podcast, Rob (Nebraska) vs. Travis (Iowa).
The Huskers have lost five-in-a-row and will not be going to a bowl game. However, Nebraska has been competitive in every one of the five losses and could have won the game in many cases. This includes the most recent loss, 35-28 at Wisconsin on Saturday. Bad special teams, interceptions, and horrendous officiating keep Nebraska fans infuriated.
On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice take friendly shots at each other about this week's game. The early line has Nebraska a 4-point favorite despite having a losing record and Iowa having nine wins.
How about this, a Husker fan that graduated from the University of Iowa. Centris Federal Credit Union President and CEO Steve Swanstrom stops by and tells us how he ended up in Iowa City despite wanting to go to school in Lincoln. Yet, his loyalty has never wavered. We also transition the conversation into the duties of a CEO and how running a large organization is very similar to running a Big 10 football program. There are similarities and as Steve explained, the more you do it, the better you get at it. The difference, coaches in many cases don't have the luxury of time to learn as they go.

One of the many changes in the Husker football program over the past week is the revelation that when Scott Frost hires a new Offensive Coordinator, he will be handing over the play-calling duties to the new OC.
What does Dr. Rob Zatechka think about this change? You will find out by listening to this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy.
We don't talk a lot about the changes on the Husker staff; we covered that last week in a live stream. If you missed that conversation, you can watch it by clicking the link below.

As humans, we can convince ourselves of things as being true even when they aren't. For example, the narrative right now is that Nebraska is the best three-win team in the country. What does that even mean? Seriously, what does that mean? Saying that is just an excuse to feel good about losing close games.
You can spin things any way you want, but the fact doesn't change that the Huskers are 3-7 on the season and 1-6 in the Big 10 Conference. So Nebraska is guaranteed to have a losing record again and miss a bowl game again.
On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob Zatechka, and Travis Justice discuss the loss to Ohio State. The cold hard truth is that close doesn't count anymore. The only thing that matters now and the only things that count are wins. Until the Huskers start getting some, one, anything, it doesn't matter.
The Huskers have a bye week and then close the season against Wisconsin and Iowa. Win one or both and the narrative starts to change. Lose both and it's going to be a long winter, spring, and summer.

Is the end near for Scott Frost? Only Trev Alberts knows that answer, but it is starting to feel like the perfect candidate for the Nebraska job 4-years ago is not so perfect after all.
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice just happened to have on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 while recording this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy. There's a scene a the end of the movie that resembles Nebraska football these days.
Lucious Malfoy carried the torch for Lord Voldemort until he realized the torch was going to go out. So Lucious, his wife Narcissa, and son Draco snuck out of Hogwarts during the final battle to save their own lives and any dignity they had left.
Four years ago, the Nebraska media was a lot like the Malfoy family. They believed in Scott Frost and have pushed his agenda and approach to rebuild a program. But, unfortunately, after Nebraska lost to Purdue yesterday, those same disciples are turning into modern-day Judas'. Just read what they all had to say. Their words are the epitome of getting on the lifeboat before the ship sinks, much like Joeseph Bruce Ismay.
We get it; the Athletic Director should never take the lead from the media. But these voices are prominent. They have been around the program for a long time; they've seen coaches come and go. Just like they did with Frank Solich, Bill Callahan, Bo Pelini, and Mike Riley. So when these voices turn on a head coach and run for cover, it's a pretty good indicator that the end is near.
Fans flocked out of Memorial Stadium by the thousands with 10-minutes to go in the game against Purdue. Adrian Martinez threw four interceptions, and the defense was gassed because it couldn't stop the run and was on the field for over 38 minutes of a 60-minute game.
In this podcast, we go in deeper into the postgame news conference of Scott Frost. It lasts just around 8-minutes. But, as we find out, that's a lot longer than Frost talked to the team after the game. He turned the motivational speech, or in this case, we have to stick together and get on the same page speech to the Captains.
There are three games left in the season. Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Odds are Nebraska will lose two of the three, if not all of them meaning they will miss out on a bowl game for the fifth straight year. The longest streak since the late '50s and early '60's when the program was in shambles.

A couple of weeks ago Nebraska Athletic Director Trev Alberts mentioned on Sports Nightly that the turf at Memorial Stadium needed to be replaced. A caller asked him if he would consider natural grass. Trev gave it some thought and said he would explore the idea.
On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice go on a natural grass expedition. We talk to Brad Jakubowski. Brad is a Grand Island native, worked at the University of Nebraska, and is now an instructor of Plant Science at Penn State. He's pro grass and has good reason to be. If you are worried that Nebraska won't be able to have large stadium concerts like Garth Brooks, don't be. Brad explains why. As you will find out, grass technology has made a lot of improvements in the last 20-years.
Before our conversation about grass, Dr. Rob and Travis talk about the bye week and the upcoming game with Purdue.

It does look like a broken record. The same mistakes that plague the Huskers for the last several seasons continue to haunt them. They come at the worst times in a game, and the errors are so costly there's just no way to recover from them.
A lot of you are so passionate and write us emails every week seeking the answers. But, unfortunately, Dr. Rob wants you to know there are no easy answers.
Should Nebraska have kicked a field goal on 4th and short or go for it?
Will Adrian Martinez ever make a play late in the game to give the Huskers a win? Or better yet, why does he keep making bad decisions with the game on the line?
Will Adrain Martinez be the quarterback at Nebraska next season, or will he enter the transfer portal?
Is Scott Frost the head coach at Nebraska next year?
All good questions with no easy answers, but we address them all on this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy.

There is no doubt that Nebraska is improving. The close losses are proof; it has lost to three teams currently ranked in the top ten by 13 points. So we know the Huskers can "play" with some of the best countries. However, what we don't know yet is if Nebraska can beat the top-level teams. There will be more opportunities as two more teams are currently ranked in the top ten, #6 Ohio State and #2 Iowa on the schedule.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob hits the sauce hard! Close losses will make you drink! The more he consumes, the more he unloads on the following:

This week's episode of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy is a social experiment. Do Husker fans like hearing about the negative? Or are they more focused on the positive?
For the past several weeks, the downloads of this podcast have been at record numbers. Of course, in years past, we always see an uptick in listens when the Huskers lost. But how about when they win? Well, Nebraska just played one of its most complete games in years. So will people take the time to listen to what Doctor Rob Zatechka has to say?
We hope so because he has a lot of good things today, especially about the adjustments on the offensive line. Dr. Rob also digs into a couple of key statistics to the Husker's success against Northwestern. The key moving forward? I'll give it away, consistency.
Up next for the Huskers, 9th ranked Michigan. The Wolverines are winning, and their head coach Jim Harbaugh is keeping a pretty low profile. Michigan's defense is stout, a will be an actual test for a Nebraska offense that appears to have found its stride.
