  Speaker 2: All right.
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Wacky dacky Wednesday here coming off the bi-week. It's a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: huge game for the Huskers here. Um, a couple of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: things happened during that bi-week there. That was a little
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: embarrassing for the Huskers.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: First off, Dylan.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Royola going into Illinois, Illinois, I think is horrible. And
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I even, I wouldn't say put up a fight losing 21,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: 10 to Illinois. Top one for Huskers right there. Illinois
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: blitzed them the whole game. I don't know what Nebraska
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: is thinking. I blitzed them the whole game, whatever it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: does a bad loss right there. Um, Now another one
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that was crazy was Minnesota beating Iowa. Everyone's like, Oh,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I was so good this year.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Blah, blah, blah, blah. Again, look at that.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Scored 13 or score 10 points, lose 13, 10 at Minnesota.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I do think Minnesota is actually pretty decent this year.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Thank God.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Nebraska does not play them this year because PJ Fleck
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: has Nebraska number like no other. Um, another guy is
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: tearing up. It's Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern. I kind of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: figured that was going to happen. Um, Actually, I take
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that back.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Not Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern. He is not there. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: take that back.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: But Northwestern is tearing it up. He's at Michigan State.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I was thinking there.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So I take that back.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: But Northwestern, their offense is actually insane with Aiden Childs.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know why Michigan State got rid of Aiden Childs. Great,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: great offense so far. I saw today they're averaging 450
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: yards a game. This week they play Oregon. By the way,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I love that spread. Northwestern, plus three and a half.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Take that against Oregon. Dillon Arreola, I don't think he's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a good quarterback. I think that team has completely given
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: up too. Dante Moore is out for the year. Dillon
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Arreola's team now, good luck with him.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: He's fat. He can't run. Good luck with him. All right.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So now we're looking at this week. Washington's quarterback is hurt.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So that right now, we're sitting right here. Nebraska's last
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: five games, are going to be against backup quarterbacks. Talk
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: about a golden opportunity with the road ahead.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Especially these next three games. Washington is probably the toughest one.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Illinois looks good against Oregon. Illinois, Washington
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: can flip back and forth. Rutgers, horrendous. Burn that program.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: That program sucks. Anyway, which is probably the one we
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: lose now after I say that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But Washington this week gets at home. That's big because
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the other two are not. This one for sure you're
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: going to win.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It's at home. Night game, blackout.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Shout out blackout. The crowd's going to be rocking. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: think it looked amazing last year against USC.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Night game, blackout. I think it'll be crazy this Saturday too. Again,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: go in the game.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Don't normally go to games. This is my second one
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: this year. Maybe I'll start going to them. But I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: think what Nebraska need to work on that bye week
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the most. is trying to find a way to get this.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Run game going. It has been a disaster since.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, I can't even remember what the– probably North
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Dakota game was probably the last good rushing game. It
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: hasn't been good at all. And I don't know what's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: wrong with Jamal Rule. He is the third-string running back
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: now on the depth chart, which is kind of crazy
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to think where he was to where he is now.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I think he's– what I've heard is he has an
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: egg injury that's just going to last all season until
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: he can get– surgery in the offseason.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: That leaves it up to find a way to get
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: this run game going. And I don't know what Dana
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Holgerson can draw up at all. I don't know if
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: he can go on the outside more, go on the inside.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Run game more, or do whatever. I think it comes
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: down to O-line, too.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: If the O-line opens up holes for you to run in,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they can run a Mack truck through the rim.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Anyone's going to be able to run the ball.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It comes down to the O-line... and the running backs,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: finding these holes to get these running backs going. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: think that is probably number one of this bye week.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Get that run game going. Because that helps out Kalander
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: so much being on his shoulders with him having to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: be the run game and him throwing the ball everywhere
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that I think he gets a little antsy in the pockets,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: or antsy when he plays.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Quarterback in there. Or in game, he got a little antsy.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: He starts throwing the ball around in bad positions.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So if that run game is going, I think Landry
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: will look even better. So where he's not forced to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: run the ball, and he can decide to take off.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And run whenever he wants.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, I don't got to be the only guy to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: get this run game going. Now, another big thing I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: think is those kickers for Nebraska should be kicking the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: ball 24-7 right now. Because these Big Ten games, especially
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: later in the year, the weather's going to get crappy.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: That's another big reason why you need to get the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: running game going. But to have a decent, reliable kicking
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: game to where you don't have to go for it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: on fourth and sixth on your own 30, 30, 25,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: 30-yard line, instead of having a kicking game where you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: can be like, okay, we're going to go out and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: we can make these kicks, I think is so important. Now,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: everyone's not going to believe we're a good kicker. We
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: have good kickers until they come out and start making
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: these freaking kicks. Like, I don't have any trust in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: these kickers at all. Make these dudes go out there,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: kick field goals 24-7, find a way to make your kicks.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Special teams is a huge, huge part of the game, too.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: There's three layers of the game right there, offense, defense,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: special teams. And I think they almost all have the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: same impact on the game. Nebraska's kicking has been... a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: mess for a while. I mean, I can't remember the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: last great kicker since Alec Henry. So work on those things.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Go out there.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: We're going to preview the, I don't really want to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: preview Washington too much this week or in this wacky
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: dang Wednesday because we're going to be previewing it tomorrow.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I think Washington is a mess right now.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: From what I heard, they're basically rerunning a fall camp,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: like just restarting, rebooting everything.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Well, that's just great. Good luck there, Washington.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're, I think they're a complete mess.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So as I said, Take Northwestern plus three and a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: half against Oregon. I think Fat Boy can't run. Pillsbury
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Doughboy out there can't run at all.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Is pretty much dead. I think Oregon's giving up too.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: So you know what? Take that and go Big Red.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, basketball starts Monday. Can't wait for that either.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Great win against K-State United. I think starting to believe
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: this team's actually pretty good.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: All right, go Big Red.
