- 0:56Speaker 1: Wacky Wacky Dacky Wednesday here. Big, big week of football here.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I'm just going to start out here. Of course.
- 1:07Speaker 3: I heard this yesterday. Of course, there's a volleyball game
- 1:09Speaker 3: on that night. God dang.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Volleyball just loves to take, take the glory from football
- 1:14Speaker 1: Saturday and Sundays.
- 1:15Speaker 3: I can't, you know what? I'm not going to dive
- 1:17Speaker 3: into it.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Cause there's a lot of volleyball fans out there. Every
- 1:20Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday is football game on. Oh no, there's,
- 1:24Speaker 1: there's a freaking Bible game on. No, I want to
- 1:26Speaker 1: watch Alabama, Georgia that night.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Anyway, um, Let's dive into it. I was thinking about
- 1:33Speaker 1: this a little bit. This is the biggest game Nebraska
- 1:37Speaker 1: has had since, okay, Colorado you could say, but they
- 1:42Speaker 1: ended up being bad. Oregon in 2016, but they ended
- 1:47Speaker 1: up being bad too. This is like where you feel
- 1:49Speaker 1: like Nebraska could actually be one of these top 10
- 1:52Speaker 1: teams coming in feeling like, oh, they got a real shot.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Ohio State when game day came here, no, I don't
- 1:57Speaker 1: think anyone's really like that. huge under brass coming into
- 2:00Speaker 1: that game and they got their ass kicked. So this
- 2:02Speaker 1: is one that I think fans actually, okay, we might
- 2:05Speaker 1: have real team here. Um, and they have a real
- 2:08Speaker 1: shot of beating a top 10 team at home.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Um, this is.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Going to change or this game could easily change your
- 2:19Speaker 1: trajectory of the program.
- 2:20Speaker 3: You win this game. It's huge for rule. Everyone starts
- 2:23Speaker 3: believing in him.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Um, the fans start buying in more again, because so far,
- 2:29Speaker 1: everyone's kind of like on pins and needles about buying
- 2:32Speaker 1: and pulling on this team. This will make everybody buy
- 2:35Speaker 1: in 100%. And I heard this on another podcast. If
- 2:39Speaker 1: you win this game, it doesn't matter what you do
- 2:42Speaker 1: next week, I guess, against Oregon. If you win or
- 2:44Speaker 1: lose that game, like this, this is the one you
- 2:46Speaker 1: want to win right here. Just because you go out,
- 2:51Speaker 1: you beat Cignetti, old national, or they won national title
- 2:55Speaker 1: last year. He's probably the best coach in the world
- 2:58Speaker 1: right now. I would say that's a pretty good fact
- 3:00Speaker 1: right there. And have the biggest win the Brassets had
- 3:07Speaker 1: in probably, I'm just going to, I can't even think
- 3:11Speaker 1: of a bigger win this would be, 15 years. Now
- 3:14Speaker 1: let's dive into what I'm worried about here and what
- 3:16Speaker 1: I'm excited for. I was, I was looking at Indian
- 3:20Speaker 1: stats the other day. or yesterday, they only gave up
- 3:23Speaker 1: 64 yards rushing game. That is scary right there because
- 3:26Speaker 1: Nebraska's run game, the last two games has not been
- 3:29Speaker 1: good at all.
- 3:30Speaker 3: It's huge.
- 3:30Speaker 1: We get Jamal rule back. Um, we, we need more
- 3:34Speaker 1: than just calendar running around out there. It's been, especially
- 3:37Speaker 1: against Maryland. It, it just, the one game outside calendar
- 3:40Speaker 1: is an outlook.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Good.
- 3:42Speaker 1: We need to, we need to find a way to
- 3:46Speaker 1: get that run game going against them. I don't know
- 3:49Speaker 1: if that's get creative with it or do whatever. Do
- 3:52Speaker 1: some tosses. Throw Jamal Rule some tosses. Throw him on
- 3:55Speaker 1: the outside. Get him running out there. Get the big
- 3:57Speaker 1: boys on the outside. Get him running on the edges. Now,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I'm not saying don't run Kalandri at all, but he's
- 4:05Speaker 1: taking some freaking hits the last couple games. I'm worried
- 4:09Speaker 1: about him getting injured. Like, this guy does not slide.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I think I've said this the last five podcasts. This
- 4:15Speaker 1: guy does not slide at all.
- 4:16Speaker 3: He puts his wedge.
- 4:17Speaker 1: He gets the crowd pumped and everything, but against Indiana,
- 4:21Speaker 1: he can't.
- 4:21Speaker 3: These boys are big.
- 4:23Speaker 1: If he's taking shots against them, easily going to get injured. Now,
- 4:32Speaker 1: here's another big part about the game is, this crowd's
- 4:35Speaker 1: going to be jacked up. Take that ball first. If
- 4:39Speaker 1: they win the toss, take that ball first, drive down, score.
- 4:43Speaker 1: If you let Indiana have that ball, they score, that's
- 4:46Speaker 1: going to kill this crowd. And then easily it could turn...
- 4:50Speaker 1: It could turn into a blowout, which I think... If
- 4:52Speaker 1: it's 14-0 early, I think Indiana just is going to
- 4:55Speaker 1: roll us. So take this ball first, score.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Go up early.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Get this crowd jacked up. Hit Hoover. Hit that furry
- 5:06Speaker 1: all game long.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Because....
- 5:10Speaker 1: If you get this guy rattled... I watched him a
- 5:12Speaker 1: couple times this year. I'm not too impressed with him yet.
- 5:15Speaker 1: He's definitely not Mendoza. He's... He's a decent quarterback. He's
- 5:21Speaker 1: smart with the ball, which he has not thrown a
- 5:23Speaker 1: pick all year yet. Which is another thing is, you
- 5:26Speaker 1: start hitting him, rat him a little bit, maybe we
- 5:28Speaker 1: get another pick from him.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Or maybe we get his first pick. But hit him.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Hit him early. Hit him often. I'm just saying, you
- 5:37Speaker 3: know what? Screw it.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Do a little Brian Flores here. Blitz the hell out
- 5:40Speaker 1: of him. Whoever might pick us apart for that, but
- 5:43Speaker 1: just blitz him the whole game.
- 5:45Speaker 3: That's what I think. I'll add these.
- 5:48Speaker 1: at least early because if he starts picking apart the blades,
- 5:51Speaker 1: I guess you got to change that. So another part
- 5:58Speaker 1: is Indiana is pretty good around the ball, which our
- 6:05Speaker 1: run defense, Maryland got the corners on us a little bit,
- 6:08Speaker 1: which is kind of scary there too. They need to
- 6:11Speaker 1: work on that, protect our corners on defense. Don't let
- 6:15Speaker 1: their run game be on the outside, because that's where
- 6:16Speaker 1: they had those big runs. I'm sure they're working on
- 6:19Speaker 1: that a lot this week.
- 6:20Speaker 3: I hope. Maybe they're not. But you know what?
- 6:24Speaker 1: Indiana, get those corners on us, because that run game
- 6:26Speaker 1: could absolutely kill us for Indiana. That's one part that
- 6:30Speaker 1: scares the crap out of me. They could just turn
- 6:31Speaker 1: it into a ground-and-pound game, and then it's a quick
- 6:35Speaker 1: 24-10 game, and Indiana just gets out there with a win.
- 6:38Speaker 1: So what I think is make.
- 6:42Speaker 3: I prefer... Let Hoover throw the ball. Stop.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Stop the run game. Let the dude throw the ball.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I get he's super smart with the ball. But I
- 6:52Speaker 1: just don't think... I don't think he's that great of
- 6:55Speaker 1: a quarterback.
- 6:56Speaker 3: He's good. So let that guy throw the ball. Stop
- 6:58Speaker 3: the run game. That's the thing. It's a lot for that.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Blitz his ass. That's all I'm saying. Because... I'll tell
- 7:06Speaker 3: you one thing.
- 7:08Speaker 1: You start hitting this little guy, he's going to get nervous.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Especially that crowd rocking. By the way, Maryland's coach said...
- 7:13Speaker 1: Memorial Stadium is not going to be loud. I'm going
- 7:16Speaker 1: to be in the stadium that game. We're going to
- 7:18Speaker 1: make that place loud. Anyone sitting in that game, you're
- 7:20Speaker 1: going to get called out.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Stand up.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I don't care if you're 80 years old. There's a
- 7:24Speaker 1: lot of 80-year-olds out there in the stadium, a lot
- 7:27Speaker 1: of them.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Stand up.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Get loud for this game. Let's get this place rocking,
- 7:32Speaker 1: especially in– I don't care.
- 7:34Speaker 3: It's going to be hot. Who cares? Be loud. Let's
- 7:42Speaker 3: get this place rocking. All right.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Now, here's what I love in the game. I made
- 7:53Speaker 1: these bets. I made this bet last week. By the way,
- 7:56Speaker 1: I won the bet, Wisconsin. I said Michigan State, take
- 8:02Speaker 1: whoever they play next week minus 10 because they had
- 8:04Speaker 1: nobody play. And Wisconsin just killed them 31-3, which that
- 8:08Speaker 1: worries me a little bit because we– We killed Michigan
- 8:12Speaker 1: State too. Michigan State might be just horrific. So this week,
- 8:17Speaker 1: I love the over in Nebraska-Indiana.
- 8:20Speaker 3: I think.
- 8:23Speaker 1: We're going to put up points on them. I think
- 8:27Speaker 1: Indiana is also going to put up points on us.
- 8:29Speaker 1: I think it's going to be– both teams are going
- 8:32Speaker 1: to be, let's say, over 24 points here. I think
- 8:35Speaker 1: it's going to be a high-scoring game. It's 51-and-a-half is
- 8:37Speaker 1: the over.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Take that.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I'm 3-2 on the season now, so basically I'm a
- 8:42Speaker 1: professional bettor. So take that bet right there and ride
- 8:44Speaker 1: with it. Over 50%. Now here's... I know no one's
- 8:50Speaker 1: talking about this. I was watching the preseason NBA the
- 8:54Speaker 1: other day.
- 8:56Speaker 3: And you know what? I'm just going to say it.
- 8:59Speaker 3: The Celtics messed up. Train Jalen Brown. I'm going to
- 9:04Speaker 3: say it right there. This guy.
- 9:07Speaker 1: No one wants to hear about this. No one wants
- 9:09Speaker 1: to appreciate the NBA. This guy dropped 22 points first half.
- 9:13Speaker 1: That Sixers team, I'm going to say right here, and
- 9:18Speaker 1: it sucks to say, they're going to be freaking good.
- 9:21Speaker 1: With Jalen Brown, LeBron, all those guys, they're going to
- 9:24Speaker 1: be tough to beat. I don't know why we traded
- 9:27Speaker 1: Jalen Brown for Paul George. Bad, bad trade right there.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I'm going to say it right now, and then, you
- 9:33Speaker 1: know what, three weeks down the road, I'm going to
- 9:34Speaker 1: be like, oh, Paul George is really good, but In
- 9:36Speaker 1: the moment right here, hate the trade for the Celtics.
- 9:41Speaker 1: He looked like he fit in the Sixers instantly first
- 9:44Speaker 1: game of preseason. I know everyone's like, oh, it's just preseason.
- 9:48Speaker 1: 22 points first half. Yeah, that sucks to see.
- 9:54Speaker 3: I hate it. So, yeah. By the way, I know
- 9:59Speaker 3: no one wants to hear it. this either. Vikings are 4-0.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Everyone's like, oh, their offense is so bad. I agree.
- 10:08Speaker 3: You know what?
- 10:09Speaker 1: Defense travels. This week I play somebody's team, the Saints.
- 10:12Speaker 1: One of the worst teams in the league, Saints, now.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I mean, they suck. Talk about blitzing somebody. Tyler Schultz
- 10:19Speaker 1: is going to have his pants.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Muddy. He is going to get blitzed that whole game.
- 10:23Speaker 3: He is not.
- 10:26Speaker 1: He doesn't know what's coming that game. The saints are
- 10:28Speaker 1: going to put up no points on the Vikings there.
- 10:31Speaker 1: I was, I was big on show coming in the year.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Chuck show, whatever, however you say his name, it doesn't
- 10:38Speaker 1: matter anymore because he's, you know what I'm going to say?
- 10:40Speaker 1: He's not, he's not going to last that whole game.
- 10:41Speaker 1: He's going to be injured. I don't work for injuries,
- 10:43Speaker 1: but he's going to be injured that game. The saints
- 10:46Speaker 1: are going to get absolutely demolished by the Vikings. I
- 10:48Speaker 1: think Kyle Murray actually did figure out a little bit
- 10:50Speaker 1: that second.
- 10:50Speaker 3: Half he went.
- 10:51Speaker 1: The fourth quarter, he went 13-14 for like 130 yards
- 10:55Speaker 1: or something like that. I think he actually did figure
- 10:57Speaker 1: out something towards the end there. He started to get
- 10:58Speaker 1: a little connection going with Hawkinson, Addison. It's starting to roll.
- 11:03Speaker 1: The offense is starting to roll here. And they're going
- 11:05Speaker 1: to absolutely demolish the Saints on Sunday.
- 11:07Speaker 3: So take that, too. The Vikings fair by one-half. Take that.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Because what I saw Monday in front of the Saints,
- 11:13Speaker 1: absolutely embarrassing. I was not expecting that. They killed the Falcons.
- 11:16Speaker 1: The Falcons are supposed to be the worst team in
- 11:17Speaker 1: the league now. They were supposed to be. Absolutely demolished
- 11:22Speaker 1: Monday night.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Saints suck. So, yeah. Tyler Shuck, show. Good luck, buddy.
- 11:26Speaker 3: If you're listening to this, you're going to get blitzed.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Hit all game long. You ain't scoring over 10 points, buddy.
- 11:33Speaker 3: You're going to talk about picks.
- 11:34Speaker 1: I said Hofer isn't throwing any picks yet. Tyler Shuck, show.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Take his picks over. He's going to get hit all
- 11:41Speaker 1: game long.
- 11:43Speaker 3: So, anyway.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Let's be loud Sunday or Saturday. Well, Sunday, too, for
- 11:48Speaker 1: the Vikings. But Saturday, let's be loud.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Huge game. I hate it's 11 a.m. Screw you, Fox,
- 11:55Speaker 3: for this. Again, I'll say it all week long. Screw you, Fox.
- 11:58Speaker 3: I mean, I'll be ready. Starting at 7 a.m. that day.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Going to be all jacked up. Cannot wait for this game.
- 12:07Speaker 1: I truly think Nebraska– I've said this before going into
- 12:10Speaker 1: a big game. Nebraska, I truly think, has a chance–
- 12:15Speaker 1: To finally beat a ranked team.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Hit Hoover early. Hit him often. Blitz like crazy. All right.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Go Big Red. Let's be loud Saturday.
- 12:28Speaker 2: The headlines change, but the mission stays. From Memorial Stadium
- 12:32Speaker 2: to PBA days. Football Saturdays, basketball nights. Every story chasing
- 12:37Speaker 2: red and white. Recruiting buzz, big time commits.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Camp battles, coaching hits.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Transfer moves and rising stars. The road to glory's never far.
- 12:50Speaker 1: This is Return to Glory.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Where every headline tells the story.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Go Big Red!
