Bryan Colbert Jr. is back on Bleav in Nebraska to get Husker Nation ready for the biggest football season yet under Matt Rhule. With fall camp underway, Nebraska is talking competition, physical growth, depth, and a team that Rhule says looks bigger, leaner, and different.

Bryan breaks down why Nebraska’s offseason gains have to turn into September execution, what Anthony Colandrea brings to the quarterback room, and why the Huskers need steady command instead of reckless hero ball. The episode also dives into Jacory Barney Jr. being named to the Paul Hornung Award Watch List as one of college football’s most versatile players, plus Justin Evans landing on the Rimington Trophy Watch List as one of the top centers in the country.

The hype is here. Now Nebraska has to prove it.

Welcome back to Bleav in Nebraska — I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr.

We start with official 2026 football kickoff times and what they mean for the vibe in Lincoln, including the Ohio opener (Sept. 5, 11 a.m. FS1), early home slate spots like Bowling Green (Sept. 12, 6 p.m. FS1), North Dakota (Sept. 19, 6:15 p.m. BTN), plus big calendar notes like Black Friday at 11 a.m. on CBS and Illinois Friday night (Nov. 6, 7 p.m. FOX).

Then we hit recruiting — Nebraska’s push up front and why “building in the trenches” is the clearest sign of where this program is headed.

And we close with Husker heartbreak, reflecting on a historic softball run and what it meant for the state, the standard, and what comes next.

Husker Nation, we’ve got a celebration episode! Nebraska basketball just made history — the Huskers are in the Sweet 16 for the first time ever after a wild finish vs Vanderbilt, and now they’ve got a familiar opponent up next. We preview the matchup, revisit past meetings, and talk what Nebraska has to do to keep the run alive. Plus: Spring Game this Saturday with QB eyes on Anthony Colandrea, and Nebraska adds a speed weapon to the 2027 class with Miami Palmetto WR Kaden Howard committing.

Nebraska hoops ended the regular season with an OT win over Iowa — a game that shouldn’t have been that close, but the Huskers showed toughness and chemistry when it mattered most. We break down the slow start, the glaring lack of size, why Rienk Mast has to be more consistent, and how the OT finish can translate to tournament basketball.

And here’s the big part: with that win, Nebraska finishes No. 2 in the Big Ten and locks up a double-bye — massive in a conference this deep.

Then we switch gears to spring football. Nebraska just held a 150-play scrimmage, and both coordinators had strong notes — especially about Anthony Colandrea’s mobility and pace, plus defensive transfers standing out as Rob Aurich installs his scheme. We’ll also look ahead to the Red-White Spring Game on March 30, 2026.

To close it out: Bleav It or Not — Fred Hoiberg should win Big Ten Coach of the Year after what he’s done with this program.

Husker Nation… I’m gonna keep it real — I’m HOT after Nebraska’s ugly loss to an unranked UCLA team. The Huskers shot 38.8% and went 5-of-24 from three, and the slow-start problem is officially costing them. We break down what it means with one regular-season game left, and how it impacts Nebraska’s fight for a top-4 Big Ten spot and double-bye. We also hit women’s hoops after a brutal Big Ten tourney loss to Indiana, and what that does to Nebraska’s NCAA tournament hopes. Then we close with football: why the media is being critical of Emmett Johnson’s combine, why I think it’s overblown, and why Nebraska Pro Day (March 25) is HUGE for his draft stock.

We start with Nebraska men’s basketball coming through with another big one — a statement road win at USC 82–67, led by Pryce Sandfort dropping 32 as the Huskers pulled away with a dominant second half. We talk about the two truths that keep showing up: when Nebraska locks in defensively for 40 minutes, the ceiling changes — and this team has become elite at separating after halftime. But we also address the concern: another slow start. Down at the half again is playing with fire, and that can’t be the habit if you’re trying to make a real run in March. Plus, we look ahead to the next one: Nebraska vs UCLA on Tuesday.

Then we give the Lady Huskers their flowers after a regular-season finale blowout — Nebraska rolled Rutgers 93–52, and Britt Prince flirted with a triple-double: 14 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists. That’s the kind of “enter March with confidence” performance you want.

To close, we pivot to football with Husker representation at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. Emmett Johnson showed out with a 4.56 in the 40 on his second attempt, plus a strong 10-yard split, a 35.5-inch vertical, and a 10-foot broad jump. And DeShon Singleton went limited but made it count — a 39.5-inch vertical and 10’10” broad, numbers that highlight real explosiveness as he heads toward Nebraska’s Pro Day on March 25.

We start with a full Huskers vs Maryland recap, and the headline is simple: Nebraska is finally stacking the kind of performances we’ve been begging for. The Huskers played great team basketball in the first half, got off to a fast start, and set the tone defensively by making every look difficult for Maryland. Then they came out even stronger after halftime — a better second half, even more connected defense, and the kind of game where you could feel Nebraska imposing its will.

But to take the next step, we’ve got to talk about the interior. Nebraska needs more from Rienk Mast — more consistency, less foul trouble, and more of that “star power” we know he has. If he becomes a steady two-way presence, it raises the ceiling of this team in March.

Then we flip over to football because spring training started this week, and the storyline is wide open.

Husker Nation, welcome in to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast — I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr.

We open with Nebraska hoops suffering another tough loss to a ranked opponent — an overtime loss to Purdue — and the frustrating part is the same themes we’ve been calling out all season showed up again: a slow start, losing the rebounding battle, foul trouble, and not getting to the free-throw line enough. Nebraska did fight back in the second half to force OT, but once you get to overtime, the margin is thin — and Purdue won the glass when it mattered most. We also talk about Rienk Mast fouling out, why it hurt, and how Nebraska’s lack of size in the paint keeps getting exposed. With only seven games left, it’s officially cleanup time — because these mistakes can’t keep repeating.

Then we shift to Husker football as Nebraska announces the Spring Game will be in March and tickets are officially on sale — we’ll hit what that means for fans and the early storylines heading into spring ball.

To close the show, we bring back one of your favorite segments: Bleav It or Not — will Anthony Colandrea win the starting QB job in 2026? ESPN’s projection has him starting the opener, but Nebraska’s QB battle with TJ Lateef is going to be one of the biggest storylines of the offseason.

HUSKER NATION — welcome in to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast!

We start with a surprising staff twist: Nebraska’s new safeties coach Miles Taylor is leaving for the Baltimore Ravens before he even coaches a game in Lincoln. We break down what it means for Matt Rhule and DC Rob Aurich, why NFL opportunities move that fast, and how Nebraska responds to keep continuity on defense.

Then we flip the energy with a big recruiting win: 4-star DT Dylan Berymon commits to Nebraska’s 2026 class. We talk why adding talent inside the defensive line is such a huge deal in the Big Ten and why Berymon fits the identity Aurich wants to build.

We close with Husker hoops — back-to-back losses to Michigan and Illinois, what went wrong (especially on the glass and at the free-throw line), and why Rutgers is the perfect “reset” game before a major showdown against No. 12 Purdue led by senior guard Braden Smith. Stay tuned for a Husker Hoops Pregame Show next.

HUSKER NATION… WELCOME IN to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast — I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr., and we’ve got MAJOR news tonight.

Men’s Hoops: Nebraska is TOP FIVE (20–0!)It finally happened — Nebraska men’s basketball has officially cracked the Top 5 after starting the season 20–0, climbing to a program-best No. 5 in the AP Poll. We spend time on what this means for the program, why this run feels different, and how Nebraska’s identity has been built in real time:

Second-half execution
Shot-making in big moments
Defending without panic

We also revisit the last big win from this week: Nebraska’s 76–57 road win at Minnesota, powered by a monster second half and a two-way statement from Pryce Sandfort (22 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks) — including 20 of his points after halftime. That game was another reminder that Nebraska can win away from Lincoln and still control the terms.

The moment is HERE: No. 5 Nebraska vs No. 3 MichiganAnd now… the game we’ve been waiting for. Top-five showdown. Big Ten supremacy on the line. Nebraska heads to Ann Arbor to face No. 3 Michigan — a measuring-stick game that can define the national perception of this team and the trajectory of the season. We break down what Nebraska has to do to keep making history and how the Huskers can win this game on the road in one of the toughest environments they’ll see all year.

Women’s Hoops: Bounce-back win mattersWe also hit a quick but important women’s hoops update:

Nebraska dropped a tight one at Wisconsin 63–60
Then responded the right way with an 81–75 home win over Illinois, led by Britt Prince (20 points)

That Illinois win matters because it kept Nebraska from spiraling after a tough road loss — you protected home floor, stabilized, and kept momentum intact.

Football: Recruiting + roster lensThen we pivot to football with a recruiting storyline fans can actually see:

2027 QB commit Trae Taylor is transferring to Millard South for his senior year
2027 Nebraska WR commit Antayvious Ellis is also making the move

It’s a real “pipeline” headline — and it keeps Millard South in the spotlight as Nebraska builds the future in-state. We also keep the portal talk clean and responsible: the roster is close to set, now it’s about development, fit, and turning recruiting momentum into a clear on-field identity heading into 2026.

Close / TeaseSo that’s the last six days: men’s hoops to No. 5 and headed into a top-five showdown, women’s hoops with a bounce-back win, and football with a recruiting headline that’s turning Millard South into must-watch territory.

WELCOME IN HUSKER NATION to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast — I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr., and this is your Nebraska Basketball Pregame Show!

The 18–0 Huskers are back home tonight at Pinnacle Bank Arena getting set to take on a 10–8 Washington team that’s been up and down in Big Ten play — but don’t get it twisted: the Huskies have a physical frontcourt and a freshman star who can turn this into a grind if Nebraska isn’t sharp early.

Top StorylineEveryone expects Nebraska’s historic run to continue… but Washington brings a “Big Ten-style” toughness, and if Nebraska lets them hang around, this game can get uncomfortable late. That’s why tonight is about starting strong, defending with purpose, and dictating tempo.

BC’s 3 Keys to Victory1) GET OFF TO A FAST START
Nebraska has been an elite second-half team — but if this group wants to level up, it has to stop letting teams breathe early. Find the shooters, make shots, and keep that defense locked in. If Nebraska builds an early lead, Washington doesn’t have the firepower to chase it.

2) SLOW DOWN THEIR STAR FRESHMAN: HANNES STEINBACH
Steinbach has been Washington’s bright spot — a legit double-double threat who can score and rebound at a high level. This is a major test for Nebraska’s interior, and a matchup that should bring out the best in Rienk Mast. The goal: keep Steinbach out of easy post touches, make him finish over bodies, and dare him into the kinds of perimeter looks you can live with.

3) PROTECT THE BASKETBALL
Great teams value possessions — and Nebraska’s identity is built on clean offense, low turnovers, and turning teams over on the other end. If Nebraska takes care of the ball and forces Washington into mistakes, the shot volume and shot quality will tilt hard toward the Huskers.

WELCOME IN, HUSKER NATION!

On today’s episode of Bleav in Nebraska, we’re keeping it tight and current with everything that’s happened since last Thursday — and we start with the headline the whole country is finally screaming:

NEBRASKA IS UP TO A PROGRAM-BEST NO. 7 IN THE AP TOP 25.
That jump comes right after a dominant road win at Northwestern where the Huskers handled business from start to finish.

Husker Heat Check: Nebraska stays PERFECT

Nebraska crushed Northwestern 77–58 to move to 18–0 overall and 7–0 in Big Ten play — and it didn’t feel fluky or fragile. It felt controlled.

Pryce Sandfort: 20 points
Braden Frager: 20 points
Sam Hoiberg: 12 points + 7 boards

The biggest takeaway? 18–0 isn’t just historic — it’s starting to look repeatable. This team is showing week-to-week consistency, toughness, and the ability to win games without needing a miracle finish. Football: Staff hires + QB competition vibes

Then we pivot to football as Matt Rhule continues the build toward 2026 with official defensive staff moves:

Corey Brown hired as defensive line coach
Miles Taylor hired as safeties coach

This is the foundation phase — if Nebraska gets stronger in the trenches and cleaner on the back end, everything else gets easier.And we close with a big QB note: Anthony Colandrea (new transfer QB) toured the football facilities — and the important part isn’t just the visit, it’s what it represents: real QB competition and a clear signal that Nebraska is serious about upgrading the room and raising the floor heading into next season.

We’ll keep tracking what these staff hires mean for recruiting momentum and what the defensive identity looks like as this roster continues to take shape.

Husker Nation… welcome in!

We’ve got a packed, current episode with ONLY the latest news since Monday — and it starts with the biggest football domino of the week: Dylan Raiola is reportedly transferring to Oregon. We react in real time to what that means for Dylan, what it means for Nebraska’s immediate future, and how quickly the landscape shifts when the portal news hits.

And almost right behind it came another major twist: Oregon’s CFP starting QB is returning — which changes the entire context of the move and sparks the obvious question: what does the timeline and path look like now?

From there, we hit Nebraska’s newest roster notes and portal updates:

QB Daniel Kaelin returning to Nebraska — what this does for the QB room and why it matters right now
Towson safety Jasin Siggs joins the picture — a proven, productive DB with real versatility (box, slot, free safety) and strong production across two seasons
What Nebraska still needs most as this roster continues to take shape for 2026

Then we pivot to the best part: Husker hoops is STILL unbeaten.
No. 8 Nebraska demolished Oregon 90–55 to move to 17–0, and it wasn’t subtle — Nebraska hit a season-high 17 threes, controlled the pace, and looked every bit like a true top-10 team when the offense is humming and the defense stays locked in.

Pryce Sandfort (28) and Braden Frager (23) combined for 51 — both dropping 7 threes in a shooting clinic.

We close with a quick look-ahead to Nebraska vs Northwestern on Saturday, and we’ll tease a full pregame show — because Northwestern is still hunting for its first Big Ten win, and Nebraska has to keep stacking clean performances if this historic start is going to keep building.

Husker Nation… the last few days have been a straight momentum swing.

We start with Nebraska men’s basketball staying unbeaten and proving (again) this team has real toughness. The Huskers rallied from down 16 to knock off Indiana 83–77, pushing the record to 16–0 and keeping that national buzz loud. Big-time road win, big-time resilience — and a real “we’re not panicking” identity showing up when the game gets uncomfortable.

Then we pivot to Husker football recruiting/portal news from this week only — because the roster is moving fast:

UCLA WR Kwazi Gilmer commits to Nebraska — a proven, experienced target added to the room with eligibility remaining.
DB Malcolm Hartzog Jr. commits to Arizona — one of the notable departures as Nebraska continues reshaping the secondary. ️️
We also briefly nod to the week’s theme: this is the new era — you’re constantly balancing adds, exits, and fit while building toward 2026.

We close with the big picture: hoops is legit and built to survive adversity, and football is in the middle of a roster build that’s going to define the ceiling next season.

Husker Nation… it’s go time.

We’re recapping EVERYTHING that’s happened in the last few days as Nebraska hoops keeps rolling unbeaten and gets set to close the non-con slate tonight vs New Hampshire at Pinnacle Bank Arena on BTN. The headline is simple: keep stacking wins, keep stacking respect — and if Nebraska gets to 13–0, that’s rare air for this program.

Then we flip it to football as Nebraska puts the final touches on Las Vegas Bowl prep vs No. 15 Utah at Allegiant Stadium on ESPN. We break down the biggest recent updates, including:

DeShon Singleton ruled out (huge piece in the back end)
Knaak expected to play despite the broken hand
Geep Wade settling in as the new O-line voice during bowl prep
The overall tone: Rhule, players, and staff locked into details with daily media and a “finish strong” mindset in Vegas

We close with two simple keys: protect the football + win hidden yards, and make sure the secondary communication is clean without Singleton. If Nebraska plays sharp and plays physical, they’ve got a shot to steal one and end 2025 with momentum.

Husker Nation… if you’re still undefeated after a road win like THAT, you’re not a cute story anymore

In this episode of Bleav in Nebraska (headlines from Dec 12–15), we hit three big storylines:

Husker Heat Check — Statement win at No. 13 Illinois
Nebraska goes into Champaign and pulls off an 83–80 road gut-check, capped by a last-second game-winning three from Jamarques Lawrence. We break down how the Huskers survived multiple Illinois runs, what that finish says about Nebraska’s late-game execution, and whether this team is built to win ugly in Big Ten play — or if they’re simply scorching hot right now.
And we’ve got to talk about it: Pryce Sandfort drops a career-high 32 in a game that felt like a “season-defining” moment.

Nebraska Football — New staff is official + bowl prep tone
It’s official: Nebraska announces Rob Aurich as defensive coordinator and Geep Wade as offensive line coach. We discuss what kind of identity Matt Rhule is trying to build with these moves — and the one thing we need to see in the bowl game that signals this program is leveling up.

Vegas Bowl storyline — Utah’s ‘last ride’ angle
Nebraska vs Utah already mattered… but now it comes with a massive emotional storyline: Kyle Whittingham stepping down after the Las Vegas Bowl. That means Nebraska gets a chance to crash a farewell moment and make a loud statement heading into the next phase of the Rhule era.

Wrap + what’s next

Husker Nation… HUSKER HEAT CHECK TIME. Nebraska just routed Creighton 71–50 in Lincoln, making it three wins over the Jays in the last four years—and the momentum is getting LOUD. The Big Red is now 10–0, riding the longest active win streak in the country (13), and this start ties the best start in Nebraska men’s hoops history.

Next up? A ranked Illinois team—and that’s the kind of game that tells you exactly how real this group is. Measuring-stick vibes. No ducking smoke.

Then we flip it to football : Nebraska closes 2025 with the Las Vegas Bowl vs Utah on Dec. 31 at Allegiant Stadium (2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN). Big picture: Year 3 of the Rhule era ends with back-to-back bowl trips and real momentum. And we hit the reported staff movement—Rob Aurich (San Diego State edge coach) being linked as Nebraska’s next defensive coordinator after John Butler’s exit, plus the OL coach change with Donovan Raiola out and Geep Wade reportedly the likely replacement.

Tap in—hoops is surging, football is shifting, and Nebraska is stepping into a defining stretch.

Husker Nation — we’ve got MAJOR news out of Lincoln. ️ Nebraska’s Big Ten Running Back of the Year, Emmett Johnson, has officially declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, and his decision sends shockwaves through the Huskers’ offseason.

In this episode, I dive into why Johnson is heading to the league now, what NFL scouts love about his game, and how his breakout season shaped his draft stock. Then we turn the focus to the future: What happens to Nebraska’s running back room now? Who steps up? Which young backs have the tools to take the next jump? And does Matt Rhule need to hit the transfer portal to replace one of the most productive backs in the Big Ten?

We break down:

Johnson’s decision & NFL projection
Nebraska’s returning RB depth
Potential portal targets & internal candidates
How the offense shifts without its do-it-all playmaker

If you love Huskers football and want the real outlook on the 2026 backfield, this episode is for you.

Husker Nation, buckle up — this one’s loaded.

On today’s episode of Bleav in Nebraska, Bryan dives into the latest Dylan Raiola transfer rumors and what they actually mean for the future of Nebraska football. Is Raiola really eyeing a jump to a CFP-ready program, or is this just rumor season doing what rumor season does? We talk through what’s real, what’s noise, and why Matt Rhule is still riding for his guy.

Then, we flip the lens:

What would it look like if Nebraska has to roll with TJ Lateef as the starter next year?
How does the offense change — scheme, play-calling, explosives, identity?
And what’s a fair expectation for this program if the QB room looks different in 2025?

After that, we hit the hardwood.
Nebraska hoops is off to a 5–0 start, including a statement win over New Mexico in Kansas City (84–72). Bryan breaks down:

Why this non-conference resume isn’t just “empty calories”
How the backcourt depth and Jamarques Lawrence’s scoring are driving the early surge
The team’s emerging identity: pace, spacing, and defensive energy
What 5–0 should do to your expectations (NIT floor? NCAA Tournament talk?)
One thing to absolutely love right now and one thing that still needs to tighten up

Nebraska hoops just sent another message. The Huskers handled New Mexico 84–72 in Kansas City to move to 5–0, and we’re breaking it all down on today’s episode of Bleav in Nebraska. From Jamarques Lawrence’s big night to the backcourt depth and that early 20-point punch, we talk about what this win says about Nebraska’s guard play and how it should shift expectations for the rest of the season.

Then we flip it to the gridiron. Husker football heads to Happy Valley for a primetime showdown with Penn State, and we’ve got your quick-hit preview. We lay out the stage, the Vegas snapshot, and the biggest keys: defense vs. defense, the run game and turnover margin, and what an eighth win on NBC would mean for Matt Rhule’s program on the national stage.

Nebraska Football: The Huskers move to 7–3 (4–3 B1G) after a 28–21 win at UCLA. We unpack TJ Lateef—what worked (quick game, QB keepers, early-down pass rate), how to protect him with motion and play-action, and why the identity stays physical run + efficient throws. With a bye week before @ Penn State (Nov 22) and Iowa (Nov 28), we hit the health checklist: Dasan McCullough, Dawson Merritt, Rocco Spindler, Vincent Shavers and how extra rest could swing November.
Husker Hoops: Nebraska is 3–0 after beating FIU 96–66 (Mast 18–12–10 triple-double; 17 made threes) and UMES 69–50. Tonight: Nebraska vs Oklahoma, neutral at Sioux Falls (Sanford Pentagon), 6:00p CST on BTN. Keys: keep the 0.5 decisions and spacing that fueled the shooting, use Rienk Mast as the inside-out hub (elbow touches/DHOs for Sandfort/Essegian), and win the catch-and-shoot battle on a neutral floor.

This one hurts, Husker Nation.

On Saturday night, Nebraska didn’t just lose a game — they lost their quarterback and emotional engine. Dylan Raiola is out for the season with a broken fibula. Before leaving the game, Raiola had this team up 14–6 and was pushing for another statement win.

Matt Rhule revealed after the game that Raiola tried to go back in — helmet on, begging for a chance to finish the fight — but Rhule wouldn’t risk further injury:

"I love you too much to put you back out there like this." — Matt Rhule

Raiola finishes the year throwing for 2,000 yards, 18 touchdowns, and just six interceptions, establishing himself as the future of Nebraska football.

Now, it’s NEXT MAN UP as true freshman TJ Lateef takes over.

In this episode:

What Raiola’s injury means for the offense moving forward
Why Lateef’s legs can be a weapon — but why Nebraska MUST find ways to throw
How the Huskers emotionally reset before UCLA under the lights
Updated expectations for the rest of the season

We also look around campus:

Nebraska men’s hoops — Rienk Mast drops 31 vs. BYU, and the Huskers cruise in exhibitions
Nebraska women’s hoops — opened the season with a dominant WIN tonight (nice! )

It’s a heavy moment, but this team has fought through adversity all year.

Husker Nation — stick with us. This season is not over.

It’s a blackout in Memorial Stadium and the world expects USC to walk in and beat Nebraska.

Not on OUR watch.

In this Husker Gameday Preview, Bryan Colbert Jr. breaks down BC’s Three Keys to Victory that Nebraska MUST execute to upset USC:

FEED EMMETT JOHNSON — 25+ TouchesUSC got gashed on the ground vs Notre Dame, and Nebraska has the back to exploit it. Emmett Johnson is the tone setter — when he touches the ball, the entire offense takes shape.
PROTECT DYLAN RAIOLA — Quick Game > Hero BallThe offensive line has struggled. This week isn’t about deep shots — it’s about rhythm, tempo & the ball coming out FAST.
MAKE THIS ONE COUNTContract extension for Coach Rhule. National spotlight. Memorial Stadium blacked out. Underdogs at home.
This is a “shock the world”

If Nebraska leans into its identity — physicality, discipline, and toughness — the Huskers can walk out with the upset.

Welcome back, Husker Nation! It’s time for another Big Red Rewind on the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast, the show for the fans, by the fans. I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr., and we’re breaking down everything Head Coach Matt Rhule had to say following the loss to Michigan — plus what it means heading into Nebraska’s matchup with Northwestern this weekend.

We start with Coach Rhule’s opening statement and injury updates, then dig into:

What he saw from the offensive line and why communication up front is still the biggest concern.
How Dylan Raiola continues to impress with his poise under pressure — avoiding 4–5 potential sacks — even as protection broke down.
The ongoing search for balance in the run game, and how Nebraska plans to restore physicality in the trenches.
How the secondary continues to shine despite injuries, maintaining a top-ranked pass defense nationally.
Rhule’s message on mindset: “Good teams don’t lose two in a row.”
What he wants to see from Dana Holgorsen and this offense against Northwestern — and which young Huskers are earning more snaps.

We also hear from Coach about the team’s energy in practice after the loss, why he decided to pull certain starters late in the game, and how the Huskers can maintain their confidence and chip-on-the-shoulder mentality as they reach the midpoint of the season.

It’s all here in your official Monday breakdown — Nebraska’s path to rebound, reload, and reassert dominance in the Big Ten West.

The Huskers are looking like one of the scariest teams in the Big Ten, and the heat is officially on in Lincoln.

Exclusive Interview: Emmett Johnson (RB1)

Emmett joins the show to talk about his midseason mindset and what’s driving his success.
How he’s balancing leadership with production.
What he expects from the Minnesota defense — and how the Huskers plan to attack.
Reflections on how the bye week helped reset the locker room for the stretch run.

Opponent Snapshot: Minnesota Golden Gophers

Head Coach J. Fleck (since 2017) — “Row the Boat” culture, physical run game, controlled tempo.
QB Drake Lindsey — limited mobility, quick reads, 3 interceptions this season.
RB Darius Taylor — explosive when healthy (986 yds, 10 TDs in 2024), a key piece to watch.
Expect a ball-control battle — meaning the Huskers’ pass rush and secondary must stay sharp.

Bleav It or Not:
“Nebraska’s defense holds Minnesota under 20 points.”

The Huskers lead the nation in pass defense, allowing just ~118 YPG.
Opponents have averaged only 8 PPG through six weeks.
Minnesota is averaging under 25 PPG on the season and has struggled to generate explosive plays.

What’s good, Husker Nation! 🌽🏈 It’s Big Red Preview time, and we brought in one of the best to ever do it in Lincoln — Ameer Abdullah — to help us map out how Nebraska handles Maryland today.

In this episode

What we need to see on offense
- Start fast: scripted first 10 with RB1 touches and quick-game rhythm for Raiola.
- Protect 15: chips/slide help, move the launch point, keep negative plays off schedule.
- RB1 effect: Emmett Johnson early & often (inside zone/duo + screens/angles).
- Finish drives: low-red-zone sequencing — TE involvement (Lindenmeyer), perimeter constraint, QB keep as the counter.
What we need to see on defense
- Cap explosives: keep everything in front, rally & tackle; force long fields.
- Win first down vs the run: set edges, clean fits from the backers, make 2nd/3rd long.
- Disguise & deny: rotate late, mix man/zone on money downs, contest the intermediate windows.
- Situational football: red-zone stand rate, third-and-medium pressure packages.
Ameer’s insights
- Why RB rhythm dictates the whole offensive personality.
- How Raiola can level up: pre-snap ownership, take the “profit” throws, use tempo as a weapon.
- The leadership piece: how this locker room turns “good drive” into “seven points.”
Game-day checklist (read on air)
1. Huskers: ≤2 sacks allowed
2. Emmett Johnson: 20+ touches
3. Explosive-play math: +2 (created minus allowed)
4. Red-zone TD rate: ≥67%
5. Takeaways: 1+

On this Big Red Rewind, we bring you the full reaction from Head Coach Matt Rhule following Nebraska’s hard-fought loss to Michigan. Coach Rhule addressed the media with his trademark honesty, breaking down what went wrong, what went right, and how the Huskers will use the bye week to regroup before diving back into Big Ten play.

Key topics include:

Offensive Line & Balance: Rhule’s candid thoughts on protection breakdowns, the left tackle rotation, and the need to establish more balance with the ground game.
Red Zone Execution: Evaluating missed opportunities inside the 10-yard line and whether we’ll see creative calls like the TE speed sweep again.
Dylan Raiola’s Growth: How Raiola handled pressure, his development outside the pocket, and even those Patrick Mahomes comparisons floating in the media.
Player Development: Updates on Elijah Pritchett, RB depth (Kwinten Ives, Mekhi Nelson, Mozee), and whether adding another back would’ve helped.
Team Mentality: Why this group isn’t falling into the “here we go again” trap when facing adversity.
Looking Ahead: Bye week schedule, recruiting priorities, and how the staff views the first three games as a “preseason” to prepare for conference play.

Rhule also touched on special teams decisions (onside kick strategy), redshirt conversations, and even took a lighthearted moment to discuss the Crawford fight in Vegas.This is a must-listen Big Red Rewind as Nebraska turns the page from Michigan and looks to reset before the second half of the season.

WELCOME HUSKER NATION! 🙌 It’s finally here — Game Day for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and we’ve got your Bleav in Nebraska First Ever Husker Game Day Preview!

I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr., and tonight Nebraska takes on Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium. We break down everything you need to know to get ready for kickoff:

🔥 Storylines to Watch

Matt Rhule – Year 3 bump: Is this the season it all comes together?
QB Dylan Raiola: All eyes are on the sophomore star as he leads this offense.
RB Emmett Johnson: Can he set the tone early and prove he’s one of the best backs in the Big Ten?
WR Room: Dane Key, Jacory Barney Jr., and Nyziah Hunter — who makes the first big play of 2025?

🐾 The Cincinnati Challenge

QB Brendan Sorsby – a dual-threat nightmare. Rushed for 350+ yards over his last 5 games in 2024, including 145 vs Iowa State. Nebraska’s defense will need discipline in all three levels to contain him.
Decision-making in the option game makes Sorsby dangerous — rush lane integrity & interior pressure are the keys.
WR Jeff Caldwell – 92 career catches & 22 TDs, at 6’5” with vertical speed. A serious test for Nebraska’s DBs.

🔑 Keys for Nebraska

Play disciplined on defense — contain the scramble, don’t over-pursue.
Lean on the new-look WR room and give Raiola opportunities to push vertical.
Emmett Johnson + the run game needs to stay balanced and control tempo.
Arrowhead Stadium crowd will bring energy — can the Huskers feed off it?

🏈 Prediction Time
We wrap with how Nebraska can start the season 1-0 and what this game will tell us about the 2025 Huskers’ ceiling.

🚀 Position Group Breakdown – Wide Receivers:
This WR room might be Nebraska’s most dangerous unit in years. With a new OC who loves vertical shots, here’s why this group is a nightmare for Big Ten defenses:

Dane Key – Kentucky transfer with 1,870 yards & 14 TDs over 3 seasons
Jacory Barney Jr. – Breakaway speed + 447 receiving yards last year
Nyziah Hunter – Cal transfer, 578 yards & 5 TDs as a freshman
Janiran Bonner, Demitrius Bell, Quinn Clark, Keelan Smith – depth with size & versatility
Cortez Mills Jr. – standout freshman already winning 1-on-1s

👀 Bleav It or Not:Fans voted — Nyziah Hunter is the WR they believe will break out in 2025 (32% of the vote). At 6’1, 205 lbs, with speed and size to be a matchup nightmare, Holgorsen’s offense could unlock his full potential in the slot.

Welcome back to Bleav in Nebraska — the podcast for the fans, by the fans, hosted by Bryan Colbert Jr.

Today’s show is all about impact and legacy.
We kick things off by honoring a beloved Husker tradition—the annual Nebraska Football Road Race, inspired by the unforgettable Jack Hoffman run. Now over a decade strong, the race still finishes with a symbolic 69-yard stretch, just like Jack’s legendary touchdown. Over $300,000 has been raised for pediatric brain cancer research in his name.

Then, we shift to a new tradition in the making: Dylan Raiola hosted his first youth football camp in Lincoln—and he did it with class, purpose, and a strong support system. We celebrate what it means for a young QB to give back this early in his career.

In this week’s Big Red Rewind, we pull audio straight from Raiola’s camp—including some player surprises and offseason notes (yes, EJ's transformation is real 👀).

And to wrap things up in Bleav It or Not:
The Big Ten Network ranked Dylan Raiola as the No. 4 QB in the Big Ten heading into 2025. Is it too soon? Just right? And what does that say about Nebraska's ceiling this season?

All that and more on this week's Bleav in Nebraska.

📢 Segment Highlights: Husker Heat Check: Tradition lives on with the Jack Hoffman-inspired Road Race 🏃‍♂️ * Bleav It or Not*: Top 4 Big Ten QB? BTN thinks so 👀

Welcome back to Bleav in Nebraska — the official voice of Husker Nation, hosted by Bryan Colbert Jr.

This Thursday, we’ve got a jam-packed show starting with a 🔥 Husker Heat Check:
Offensive lineman Gunnar Gottula is officially cleared and back for fall camp after offseason surgery. What does his return mean for a reshaped Husker offensive line and a rushing attack already gaining 130+ yards per game?

Then it’s time for our first-ever Red Rewind — featuring the best soundbites from this week’s Husker Hoops pressers as Pryce Sandfort and Kendall Blue are introduced to the Big Red faithful.

Why Sandfort flipped from Iowa
How Blue’s unique skillset could reshape Fred Hoiberg’s offense
And which one might be used as a 6’6” point guard 👀

After that, we turn to Bleav It or Not — because Nebraska is being picked 7th in the Big Ten this year, per Pick Six Previews. They finished 13th last year. Is a Year 3 Matt Rhule surge coming?

In Episode 5, Bryan Colbert Jr. dives into the national buzz around Dylan Raiola, as USA Today ranks the sophomore quarterback No. 3 in the Big Ten — behind only Drew Allar and Luke Altmyer. But is that ranking justified, or are analysts getting ahead of themselves? Bryan gives his take.

Then it’s time to start breaking down the Huskers’ position groups, beginning with the quarterbacks:

🧠 Jalyn Gramstad brings senior leadership and quiet consistency to the room.
🔄 Marcos Davila, a Purdue transfer, adds valuable Big Ten experience.
🚀 Freshman TJ Lateef is soaking up every rep, every meeting, and pushing hard to earn his place.

Whether or not anyone challenges Raiola for the QB1 role, this room is deeper, smarter, and more connected than it’s been in years — and that should excite every Nebraska fan.

🔴 Episode Highlights:

Is Raiola’s ranking too high or just right?
What each backup QB brings to the room
Why the QB competition matters even if Raiola’s job is safe
How leadership and chemistry are shaping this position group

Welcome back to Bleav in Nebraska — the official voice of Husker Nation!

In today’s episode, Bryan Colbert Jr. dives into Nebraska’s latest recruiting haul: three commits in three days that could shape the future of Big Red Football.

🔺 WR Larry Miles Jr. is a stat-breaking slot weapon out of Orlando with elite burst and kick return skills — a perfect fit for Matt Rhule’s fast-paced offense.
🔺 OT Claude Mpouma is a 6’8” former basketball player from Chicago with a “monster ceiling” and elite footwork. He’s raw, but Nebraska beat out schools like Auburn, Florida, and Michigan to get him.
🔺 Leon Noil Jr. brings power and flexibility to the O-line — likely moving inside to guard but capable of playing outside. His love for Nebraska is real: “I made it Home!!”

Bryan also breaks down:

💥 What these three commits reveal about Nebraska’s positional strategy
🧠 How Matt Rhule is stacking the trenches first to build a contender
🔄 What makes this 2026 class different — and what’s coming next

We’ve had the news of Dana Holgorsen’s addition to the Nebraska football staff for more than a week now, and two days since coach Matt Rhule announced Holgorsen as the offensive coordinator for the rest of the season. The I-80 Club discussed if the OC change is a desperation move by Rhule.

Turning our attention now to some Husker Headlines, in the latest Doc’s Diognosis, Dr. Rob Zatechka analyzes plays on both sides of the ball ahead of the Huskers' game Saturday in Los Angeles. TJ Birkel breaks down the Dana Holgorsen news and looks at how much a difference that can make.

Chris Fort has released the third and final part to his series on the 1999 Nebraska football team. Fort delved into the season itself, the roster, and the legacy of what he calls, “the last elite Nebraska football team.” You can read all three parts right now below.

Part 1: The Season
Part 2: The Roster
Part 3: The Legacy

As for the current team, coach Matt Rhule Monday made the announcement that Dana Holgorsen will be taking over the play calling and acting as the offensive coordinator. Rhule said the change isn’t indicative of a shifting of his offensive philosophy.As Erin Sorensen of he Counter Read points out on social media, since 2017, Nebraska’s first year of the current streak of no bowl game, 15 more points per game in November would have resulted in 17 more wins, making the Huskers bowl eligible every single year. As it stands, the Big Red are averaging just 18.3 points a game in Big Ten play this season, while the final three opponents are all averaging at least 26 points a game in conference play.

In the latest InterMat rankings, Nebraska wrestling stays at No. 3 in both the tournament and dual rankings, behind Penn State and Iowa. Four through six on both are Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, and Ohio State. Rounding out the top 10 on the tournament side, it is Missouri, South Dakota State, Northern Iowa, and Cornell, while the dual side goes NC State, Minnesota, Iowa State, and Northern Iowa.

Turning our attention now to some Husker Headlines, Dave Feit offers some takes on the move to have Dana Holgorsen as the offensive coordinator for the rest of the season, including that it was the right move. Tanner Johnson has released his latest Big Ten football head coach hot seat index, where Nebraska's next opponent in USC has their coach, Lincoln Riley, squarely on the hot seat.

Kaleb Henry takes you through the latest in Nebraska Cornhuskers news.

Nebraska football was off this past weekend and gets back to it this week in a West Coast road trip. The Huskers and USC Trojans will kickoff from the LA Coliseum Saturday at 3 p.m. CST on FOX.

Nebraska coach Matt Rhule spoke with the media today and began with the news of Dana Holgorsen taking over as the play caller and offensive coordinator. Rhule answered several questions on the topic.

The Big Ten Conference has announced kickoff times for the weekend of Nov. 23. Nebraska is set to host Wisconsin that day for Senior Day. Kickoff is slated for 2:30 p.m. CST on the Big Ten Network.

Although not with the team for at least a month, former Nebraska defensive back Syncere Safeeullah announced on social media Sunday that he would be entering the transfer portal. Safeeullah came to Lincoln as part of Matt Rhule’s first class, redshirting in 2023 and not appearing in a game this fall.

On the recruiting trail, a Nebraska commit has flipped to Kansas. Bryson Hayes, a three-star wide receiver who boasts 4.3 speed in the 40, is electing to stay closer to his home in Maize, Kansas.

Nebraska volleyball completed a Pacific Northwest swing without dropping a single set. The Huskers swept the Washington Huskies Saturday night, 25-17, 25-11, 25-21, to improve to 24-1 on the year and remain unblemished in Big Ten Conference play.

Nebraska women’s basketball closed on an 8-0 run to slip past Southeastern Louisiana Saturday afternoon. Natalie Potts scored 17 points to go with a game-high seven rebounds. Freshman Britt Prince did not play due to a minor injury that is not expected to keep her out for an extended amount of time. Next up is a home matchup against Southern on Tuesday at 7 p.m. CST on B1G+.

In the latest AP Poll, the Huskers are up two spots to No. 21. The top-10 teams are South Carolina, UConn, USC, Texas, UCLA, Notre Dame, LSU, Iowa State, Oklahoma, and Kansas State. Other Big Ten teams outside of the top 10 are Maryland at 11, Ohio State at 12, Illinois at 23, and Oregon at 25.

Nebraska men’s basketball made 6-of-7 free throws in the final minute to hold off Bethune-Cookman Saturday. Despite 18 turnovers and 34% shooting, NU improves to 2-0. The Huskers host Fairleigh Dickinson Wednesday at 7 p.m. CST on B1G+. Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg spoke earlier today on the team’s performance.

Turning our attention now to some Husker Headlines, a pair of ESPN writers have Nebraska going to the Rate Bowl in Arizona on Dec. 26, with one pitting NU against Baylor and the other saying Texas Tech. Got to win a game first, and that starts this Friday where the Big Red are underdogs by more than a touchdown.

In other Husker Headlines, the Common Fans assess the state of the Husker football program while honoring America’s veterans. And Nebraska volleyball continues to be one of the best shows on the road, as Maren Angus-Coombs writes that three-of-the-last-four matches have resulted in attendance records for Husker opponents.

Kaleb Henry takes you through the latest in Nebraska Cornhuskers news.

No. 2 Nebraska volleyball dominated the first set and survived a tough second set to earn a sweep in Eugene over No. 12 Oregon last night. The Huskers hit .278 for the match, holding the Ducks to .133. Harper Murray and Taylor Landfair led the way with 14 and 13 kills, respectively. It was also another record attendance match with Nebraska’s involvement, as Matthew Knight Arena had 8,566 on hand, nearly 12-hundred more than the previous record set last year.

Matt McMaster says the time for talk from Nebraska football is over and it is time for Matt Rhule and company to show program growth with at least one win in November.

Kaleb Henry takes you through the latest in Nebraska Cornhuskers news.

Nebraska volleyball begins its Pacific Northwest swing tonight at No. 12 Oregon. First serve is set for 9 p.m. CST. The Huskers are 4-3 all-time against the Ducks, but this is the first time the two teams will meet in Eugene. Oregon won the last matchup against Nebraska, beating the Big Red in five sets in the Regional Semifinal in Louisville. NU coach John Cook vividly remembers how then-freshman Mimi Colyer played, with 26 kills in the match.

A former Nebraska softball coach has passed away after a battle with cancer. Mark Watt served as a volunteer coach at NU after a 25-year coaching career at the high school level. Between Lincoln Southeast and Lincoln Southwest, Watt’s teams earned 579 wins and four Class A state championships. Nebraska head coach Rhonda Revelle on social media today called Watt a “legendary coach, master teacher, incredible mentor & role model, true friend, loyal & loving father and husband”, adding “The world is a better place because of YOU. You are loved deeply by the Red Team. We will carry your spirit w/us.”

Nebraska wrestling opens the 2024-25 season at No. 3 in InterMat’s rankings for both tournament and dual. The Huskers trail fellow Big Ten programs Penn State and Iowa in both. Other Big Ten teams in the top 10 include Ohio and Michigan for the tournament rankings and Ohio State and Minnesota for the dual rankings. NU opens the season Friday at home against Utah Valley.

Nebraska men’s basketball is 1-0 and looking to stay unblemished this Saturday. Coach Fred Hoiberg met with the media this morning after some intense practices and film sessions.

Nebraska women’s basketball announced a time change for an upcoming game today. The Huskers will take on the South Dakota Coyotes Nov. 16 at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls. The game was originally scheduled for 5 p.m. CST, but has been pushed back to 7 p.m. CST due to Nebraska football kicking off against USC that afternoon at 3 p.m. CST. Another change to the game comes by way of television, as Nebraska volleyball is on the Big Ten Network at that new time, meaning the women’s basketball game is expected to shift to B1G+.

Also today for Nebraska women’s basketball, senior Alexis Markowski has been named to the preseason women's top 50 watch list for the Los Angeles Athletic Club John R. Wooden Award. Chosen by a preseason poll of national college basketball experts, the list is made up of 50 student-athletes who are early front-runners for one of the most prestigious honors in college basketball - the Wooden Award All-America Team and Most Outstanding Player Award. She joins a dozen other players from the Big Ten Conference on the list.

Turning our attention now to some Husker Headlines, TJ Berkel asks if apathy is coming for Nebraska fans as he and the Common Fans crew chat with the Omaha World-Herald’s Evan Bland. Tanner Johnson is curious about what’s going wrong at USC under Lincoln Riley, who was one of the hottest names in the sport just a couple of years ago.

Kaleb Henry takes you through the latest in Nebraska Cornhuskers news, from volleyball's upcoming late night matches to a Big Ten blood drive to the start of wrestling season.

Nebraska volleyball is halfway through a four game road swing. That now extends west, really west, as the Huskers head to new Big Ten members Oregon and Washington. Both games will tip after 9 p.m. CST, something John Cook is preparing his team for.

The Big Ten is deep into a competition to save lives. The We Give Blood Drive has Abbott and the Big Ten pitting school against school in the largest blood donation competition of our lifetime to fight the largest blood shortage in a generation. The drive continued today at Memorial Stadium, where I was able to catch up with Ellen Wichman from Abbott.

The latest numbers have Nebraska’s dominance continuing, nearly doubling-up second-place Wisconsin. UCLA, Michigan, and Iowa round out the top five. For more information on this competition and to find out how to give with your donation counting to the school of your choice’s total, visit BigTen.org/Abbott.

Nebraska wrestling opens their season this Friday. Coach Mark Manning met with the media this week to preview the upcoming campaign.

Turning our attention now to some Husker Headlines, Tanner Johnson gives his latest Big Ten Football Hot Seat Index, where Nebraska’s Matt Rhule is sitting at room temperature. USC’s Lincoln Riley and Michigan’s Sherrone Moore’s seats are hot while Purdue’s Ryan Walters’ seat is scorching. Maren Angus-Coombs says Lexi Rodriguz is poised to become Nebraska volleyball’s greatest libero as she tries to close the gap on Olympian Justine Wong-Orantes’ Husker digs record.

Kaleb Henry talks with Ellen Wichman from Abbott and the We Give Blood Drive, a competition between Big Ten schools to donate blood.

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule Monday said he would be bringing in "a fresh set of eyes" to look at the operation in Lincoln. We now know who those fresh eyes below to, as multiple reports indicate Dana Holgorsen has been added an offensive consultant and Phil Snow a defensive consultant. Holgorsen was previously the head coach at Houston and West Virginia and has worked with some high powered offenses. Snow was Rhule’s defensive coordinator at Temple and Baylor, and then followed him back to the NFL with the Carolina Panthers.

The USC Trojans will reportedly have a different starting quarterback when the Nebraska Cornhuskers visit Los Angeles next week. A report from 247Sports says Miller Moss is being benched in favor of Jayden Maiava. The UNLV transfer took over the Rebels partway into last season, leading the team to the Mountain West Conference title game while earning Mountain West Freshman of the Year.

Nebraska men’s basketball opened the season with an 87-67 win over UT Rio Grand Valley Monday evening. Brice Williams scored the first eight points of the game, showing early that he's "the guy" for the Big Red this season. Williams finished with 27 points while Rollie Wooster poured in 18 to go with nine rebounds.

The debut of the new postgame show from HuskerMax and the I-80 Club followed the Husker men’s win. Jack Mitchell, Jacob Bigelow, and I gave our thoughts during After Nebrasketball on the win to open the 2024-25 campaign.

During the season-opening win for Nebraska women’s basketball, senior Alexis Markowski moved into sole possession of first place on the program’s all-time double-double chart. Markowski moves past two Husker legends in Jordan Hooper and Kelsey Griffin.

Turning our attention now to some Husker Headlines, TJ Birkel says Nebraska doesn’t feel close to turning the corner after a third straight loss, adding that he’s tired of moral victories. Tanner Johnson gives Dylan Raiola a C+ for his efforts in the loss, even with an early exit.

In other Husker Headlines, Husker Dan wonders if Nebraska will get a win in November, comparing NU’s situation to being down by one run in the bottom of the ninth and legendary Yankees closer Mariano Rivera on the bump. As for Nebraska’s bowl projections, a pair of ESPN writers have the Huskers headed to the Rate Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona against either Baylor or TCU. That game is slated for Dec. 26.

Kaleb Henry takes you through the news of the day for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, from the weekend with a football loss and volleyball's sweeps, to basketball season's opening day.
