Locked On Nebraska - Daily Podcast on the Nebraska Cornhuskers

Nebraska football: Could this be the Year of Dana Holgorsen?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 13 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

We promised we’d circle back to overflow questions from the mailbag last week. And here we are, starting with Ted in Texas, who’s feeling down because, well, his Huskers are “so mid.” How can this be, when Nebraska football seemingly sits in the top 15 to 20 in so many important areas? What gives? Connor and Mitch take a crack at helping Ted understand.

In three years of the Matt Rhule era, we’ve pondered plenty of comparisons. But never one quite like what Brett proposed. Mike Riley vs. Matt Rhule? We entertain this idea. And finally, is offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen in line for a breakthrough season in Lincoln? Brent believes he’s better off without Dylan Raiola. We weigh the likelihood that this could become the Year of Dana. Join us.

Nebraska football is halfway through the offseason: Where's the panic meter?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 12 May 2026 15:00:00 +0000

The official midpoint of the college football offseason arrived a few days ago. Nebraska didn’t celebrate it. Excitement is not rising from the walls of Huskers’ football complex. It does not mean that trouble is afoot. But in comparison to recent offseasons, reason for concern exists. As a result, we’re re-introducing the DEFCON meter to gauge the state of the Huskers.

Also, behold the upcoming Nebraska volleyball rock-star tour. Nebraska softball tickets are selling for big bucks as a regional heads to Lincoln. We discuss the football Friday night at Illinois and preview Nebraska baseball at Creighton on Tuesday night. How many fans pack into Charles Schwab Field Omaha? To close, Mitch shares his story behind the story on Budge Porter, the Nebraska football player who was paralyzed 50 years ago in a spring practice.

DENIED! Nebraska players lose their first case against the CSC. What’s next?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 12 May 2026 02:00:00 +0000

A ruling arrived Monday in the arbitration case that pitted 18 Nebraska football players against the College Sports Commission. Nebraska lost — and it must now find a new path, along with its multimedia right partner, to pay millions of dollars over the revenue-sharing cap. Connor and Mitch dive into the ramifications of this situation.

What’s next for Nebraska in its bid to keep up in the fast lane of college athletics? Join us.

Postseason fever: Are Nebraska baseball and softball positioned for deep tourney runs?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 11 May 2026 00:30:00 +0000

We’ve got a special Sunday night episode, featuring the Nebraska baseball and softball teams. Will Bolt’s team swept Iowa in front of 22,815 fans over the weekend. It took some late-inning drama on Saturday and Sunday, but the Huskers are 37-14 and back in decent shape to make a run at hosting a regional with four regular-season games left. We update that chase and the Huskers’ pitching situation after the bullpen faltered at times against the Hawkeyes.

Rhonda Revelle’s squad beat UCLA after a tense moment in the third inning on Saturday to win the Big Ten softball tournament. The Huskers are 46-6 and will host a regional in Lincoln, starting Friday. If they advance and the bracket holds, a fun, made-for-TV matchup awaits in the super regional round next week. Join us for details.

Is Nebraska football in danger of losing its top recruits?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 8 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag is open. Topics came hot and heavy this week. For those listeners and viewers whose questions went unanswered, you’ll hear from us next week — and before Friday, so stay tuned. We start with Nebraska recruiting. What’s the end game for Nebraska as Trae Taylor and Tory Pittman III hear from new suitors? We revisit the 8 vs. 6 conversation. Is the hot seat in Lincoln a real thing?

Why is the NCAA basketball tournament expanding? Does the best news for Fred Hoiberg in this offseason involve an assistant coach? And finally, why would Nebraska baseball even want to host a regional? We’ll tell you.

BIG 10 SQUAD: The College Football Playoff may EXPAND TO 24 TEAMS | How this impacts Nebraska

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 7 May 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Big Ten football faces seismic changes as coaches push for a 24-team College Football Playoff and the elimination of conference championship games. Is the legendary exclusivity of college football evaporating? The Big 10 Squad debates whether expanding the playoff waters down the sport, how job security and coaching standards might shift, and if a January 25th national championship is simply too much. The crew breaks down Maryland Terrapins’ shocking 4.5 win total: can Mike Locksley’s squad exceed expectations, or is another disappointing season inevitable? Key talking points include playoff expansion, scheduling chaos, and the shifting stakes for Big Ten coaches and teams like Washington and Ohio State. With heated insights on tradition, competitive balance, and the future of college football, this episode takes on the sport’s most controversial debates.

Survey says? Misery and self loathing from Nebraska football fans

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 7 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What is it about this week? We got to the first few days of May and the negativity meter spiked around Nebraska football. Our friend Scott Dochterman of The Athletic surveyed hundreds of college football fans about the state of the Big Ten — and specifically, the state of every program in the Big Ten. Nebraska fans answered about as you’d expect four months into what’s been a dreary offseason.

On the flip side, an ESPN crew of writers ranked the offseasons of every team in the Power 4. And the Huskers finished in the top half of the league. Eighth, to be exact, ahead of three opponents that play Nebraska in potential swing games this fall. Go ahead and feel good about that. Also, the American Football Coaches Association submitted ideas on how to improve the sport. It’s thin on substance. We discuss on this Thursday.

Eight wins or six for Nebraska football in 2026? It’s not as simple as it sounds

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 6 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Do you care how it looks? There’s the question of this Wednesday episode for Nebraska football fans. What if you were presented two options about the upcoming season. One option includes six wins and a breakthrough victory. The other involves eight wins, but nothing much that moves the meter. We debate the merits of both scenarios and run through schedule talk for Matt Rhule’s fourth team.

The Huskers added a 2026 football signee this week. Maurice Purify II joined the class. There’s significance to this late addition. Nebraska basketball locked up Nate Loesner and Fred Hoiberg’s other assistant coaches. And Nebraska volleyball continues to find intriguing ways to compete. The latest involves a trip in August to Jerry World with $1 million at stake.

An answer to Nebraska football’s problem with mounting pressure?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 5 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Is Matt Rhule’s Nebraska football program on a one-year clock? Should it be two? Perhaps the solution to mounting pressure and negativity in Lincoln is this: Take a step back and evaluate the Huskers over a two-year period. After all, it’s highly unlikely that the Huskers can manage more major change in the offseason after 2026 than they’re already set to tackle, with a big chunk of Memorial Stadium set to come down.

Did you see how much money the Big Ten made in the most recently completed fiscal year? It’s the most ever by quite a large amount. What the big pay day means for Nebraska — and why the model that produced $1.47 billion might be coming under some new scrutiny, thanks to Duke basketball. Also, we check in with Nebraska volleyball on scheduling and Nebraska men’s basketball for a roster update. Join us.

Nebraska football: Bad news on the recruiting trail as Ahmad Hudson rejects the Huskers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 4 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The news of Ahmad Hudson’s commitment on Sunday to LSU did not come as a surprise in the football recruiting community. Still, it dealt a blow to Nebraska, which had recruited the five-star tight end out of Ruston, Louisiana for longer than a year. In swooped Lane Kiffin over the past few months to secure the pledge of an in-state star. What does it mean for Nebraska and Matt Rhule and Trae Taylor? We discuss.

Nebraska baseball laid an egg at Ohio State. Perhaps that talk about a ticket policy for a potential home regional served as a bad omen. No such misfortune struck the Nebraska softball team, which swept Penn State and secured the Big Ten title. What’s next for Rhonda Revelle and her squad? And we go back to the football conversation for a rare look — in this 2026 offseason, at least — behind the scenes with Rhule’s team. Join us.

Did Nebraska step over the line with its postseason ticketing policies?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 1 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag is here. Thanks as always for your questions. We’re loaded with topics. Would Nebraska football have been better off without Dylan Raiola? Has Nebraska basketball filled its needs in the transfer portal? And what is the athletic department strategy in pushing aside baseball supporters as it prioritizes postseason ticket-buying opportunities?

We’re talking talent vs. development. Who’s in charge of the stadium rebuild? Should Troy Dannen be checking the phones of his athletes? And who will most be missed from Matt Rhule’s 2025 squad? Join us for all of that and more.

BIG 10 SQUAD: The NCAA Tournament is EXPANDING | How this affects Nebraska

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:00:00 +0000

College football playoff chaos looms as postseason expansion rumors ignite fierce debate. Could the Big Ten secure eight playoff spots in a future super-sized format? The Big 10 Squad tackles the growing influence of money on NCAA tournament and College Football Playoff changes, questioning whether tradition or TV contracts will shape the future of Big Ten powerhouses like Michigan State, Penn State, and USC. The crew breaks down Michigan State’s outlook under Pat Fitzgerald, with FanDuel setting a three-and-a-half win total. Can quarterback Alessio Milivojevic and the Spartans shock critics with a stronger season? Plus, hot dog eating contests and schedule traps add intrigue to a season already rich with drama. With insiders debating expansion fatigue, scheduling quirks, and long-term survival for non-revenue sports, this heated roundtable asks: Where is college football heading, and who will rise or fall when change arrives?

Nebraska football: Troy Dannen, Matt Rhule and threading the needle on big money

According to Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen, people “don’t realize what NIL is today.” Is that right? And if so, how can the Huskers expect to fund a roster with a payroll that exceeds the rev-share cap by millions of dollars? Dannen has answers to these questions. But is he walking a fine line in admitting that donors don’t care for NIL and that Nebraska can’t legally take checks from its boosters in order to pay for Matt Rhule’s team.

Nebraska baseball won another game Tuesday in dramatic fashion. Jeter Worthley had a huge night. The bullpen got its act back together. And the weekend pitching order is set to shift as the Huskers head to Ohio State. Also, we’ve got more trough talk. And what is this, a Bucc-ee’s scoreboard? Genius. Nebraska is set to make an impact soon. Join us.

As the world turns, Nebraska football is fortunate to be free of QB drama

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Lots happening in Nebraska sports. But we’re starting on this Tuesday with a look back at Aug. 28, 2025 — not the game itself, but the quarterbacks involved in the Huskers’ season opener against Cincinnati. Brendan Sorsby and Dylan Raiola, both of whom moved through the transfer portal, have been in the news this week for very different reasons. The Sorsby story is alarming. For Raiola, not so much. But Nebraska is moving forward without any of the drama.

Mitch’s story on Elijah Pritchett is finally out. Check it out in The Athletic. Pritchett has a shot next year at this time to be Matt Rhule’s first NFL Draft pick who arrived in Lincoln via the portal. Strength coach Kurt Joseph is leaving Nebraska basketball for the NBA. Nebraska baseball is back on the diamond on Tuesday night and looking at a variety of postseason possibilities. And 18 Nebraska football players are headed into a legal battle this week with important ramifications for college athletics.

No grass and no troughs: Inside the planned renovation of Memorial Stadium

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Memorial Stadium renovation project is a go. Nebraska’s Board of Regents gave it the green light on Friday, followed by a press conference with athletic director Troy Dannen and president Jeffrey Gold. Dannen and his team have got some tough decisions ahead that involve season-ticket holders. We’re getting into a few of the details at the outset of a conversation sure to last beyond the next two years.

Emmett Johnson landed with the Kansas City Chiefs. They selected the former Nebraska running back in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday. It made for a heartwarming moment, but no other Huskers were drafted — which isn’t so heartwarming. We finish this Monday podcast with a review of the weekend for Nebraska baseball, Nebraska softball and our attempt at analysis of a sport that we’ve never discussed. Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: Who’s in charge of making sure the fans get what they want?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag episode is here. Thanks for all of your questions. We start with the return of our favorite viewer, Gigi, who’s wondering — and for good reason, with all the money thrown around today in college football — how the fans are represented? New in the apathy conversation, we’ve got a mailbag question about Matt Rhule’s contract extension. Is it a source of fan apathy? Would Nebraska fans trade places with Wisconsin?

What do we think of the job that EJ Barthel has done as coach of the Nebraska running backs? Our critiques of Kansas baseball continues with a question-and-answer about the Jayhawks’ artificial (and all green) playing surface. What if Scott Frost could have brought his UCF players to Nebraska eight years ago? And is Troy Dannen a caretaker — or just a really smart guy? Join us.

BIG 10 SQUAD: NEW College Football Playoff Format IMMINENT | What this means for Nebraska

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Big Ten faces backlash as 24-team College Football Playoff proposal stirs controversy—will expanding the playoff ruin the regular season’s intensity? The Big 10 Squad tackles the heated debate, weighing tradition against big-money incentives. Are classic rivalries and crucial games losing meaning in the quest for more playoff spots, or can college football thrive with a larger field? The squad shifts focus to Purdue Boilermakers' bleak outlook, with brutal honesty about Barry Odom’s second-year prospects and Ryan Browne’s struggles under center. Is three and a half wins realistic in a daunting schedule, or has the program hit rock bottom? The hosts break down potential upsets, coaching hot seats at Wisconsin and Maryland, and why Purdue football fans may just be counting the days until basketball season.

From Nebraska football to the NFL: Why we like Emmett Johnson’s shot to succeed

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Nebraska football, after Thursday night, will have gone 15 years without a first-round pick in the NFL Draft. It’s become something of a non-issue, seemingly, for Nebraska fans. But should it be? Look around. The drought reflects the Huskers’ lack of winning over that same time. Are better times ahead? Connor and Mitch are here to talk about the draft — and about Emmett Johnson’s shot to find a spot, as he did at Nebraska, that allowed him to exceed expectations.

Also, Nebraska baseball dropped a Tuesday night contest at Kansas. The Jayhawks swept the season series. How does this impact the Huskers’ hopes to host an NCAA regional. Will Bolt’s team heads to Illinois this weekend. We discuss. Don’t forget to send us your mailbag questions. That show is coming Friday.

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule speaks up on the 2026 schedule, pressure to win and last year

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:30:00 +0000

You never know what you might get on a Tuesday in April. On this day, Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule stopped by to visit with Damon Benning and Ravi Lulla of Hurrdat Sports. We were listening. And we’ve got thoughts on Rhule’s comments about the Minnesota game last year, the 2026 schedule, the success of various sports at Nebraska and the pressure to win.

Also, Ugnius Jarusevicius is leaving the Nebraska basketball program. The arbitration hearing between the College Sports Commission and 18 Nebraska football players might not matter. And the Huskers’ former coach, Scott Frost, is again not saying things about his alma mater. Join us.

Why not NIL? Burning questions on the Nebraska football Big Red Rebuild

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It’s a Tuesday in late April and Nebraska baseball and softball have taken over the spotlight. The softball team rose to No. 1 in one of the national polls. That’s a first. Will Bolt’s baseball team returned to the top 20 as it heads south for a grudge match against Big 12 frontrunner Kansas.

The last time the Huskers and Jayhawks met, Bolt got ejected. Tempers flared. What will happen as they tangle at Hoglund Ballpark? We’re also talking on this Tuesday about lingering questions after Nebraska unveiled its big plans for Memorial Stadium. Why not spend it on NIL? Why so much deferred maintenance? We take a look at what you’re talking about. Join us.

Nebraska football: What does $600 million get you these days?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Nebraska football is in the news. The university is set to approve $600 million in upgrades to Memorial Stadium. That’s a big project. Nebraska basketball is in the news. Fred Hoiberg added three more players from the portal, bringing the haul in this transfer cycle to four. But we’re starting this episode with Nebraska baseball, which broke out the brooms against USC over the weekend at Haymarket Park.

Are the Huskers a CWS-caliber team? Connor and Mitch discuss, then we get into all of the football and hoops conversation. Also, a shout out to the Huskers’ latest national champion. And Nebraska softball, at least for now, cannot be stopped. Appreciate them while time remains. Join us for a full Monday podcast.

Nebraska football mailbag: Is it wrong to learn on the job as a Big Ten assistant coach?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Friday Nebraska football mailbag episode is here. We’re dabbling in baseball, basketball and volleyball, with a heavy dose of football today. It starts with a question that many have wondered but few have asked: Do coaches today even know what they’re doing? A better question perhaps: Do any of us know what we’re doing? Connor and Mitch get philosophical.

Also, what’s the national perception of the Huskers in this offseason? If Iowa football and Nebraska football met in the NCAA basketball tournament — huh? — how would that game end? Does this Nebraska baseball pitching staff match up against groups that have pitched the Huskers deep into the NCAA postseason? And why aren’t more people talking about the five-for-five proposal, when it could seemingly make a big impact on today’s rosters? Join us for a fun finish to your week.

BIG 10 SQUAD: The Big 10's Latest SCANDAL | How this impacts Nebraska

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 21:00:00 +0000

NCAA sanctions shake up Iowa Hawkeyes football as eight wins are vacated for tampering with quarterback Cade McNamara—was it worth the fallout? The Locked On Big Ten Squad debates whether the NCAA's focus is misplaced, questioning the penalty’s impact, and suggesting the NCAA targets smaller programs while avoiding powerhouses. Lively banter covers Kirk Ferentz’s legacy, Iowa’s ongoing quarterback development woes, and frustrations with inconsistent NCAA enforcement. Wisconsin Badgers face chaos after the sudden departure of athletic director Chris McIntosh, leaving major leadership gaps ahead of the new season. The Big 10 Squad weighs in on Wisconsin’s struggles to adapt in the NIL era and whether Luke Fickell’s job is on the line. The episode also spotlights shifting approaches to spring games, with limited action from stars like Michigan’s Bryce Underwood and Penn State scrapping their scrimmage entirely.

Nebraska football: It’s finally time for the Memorial Stadium conversation

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Nearly three years after the subject was introduced by Nebraska’s former athletic director, the time is near for the current boss to send a proposal on Memorial Stadium renovation to the university leaders. Could it happen next week? We’re talking about big dollars. Why the wait? Will the optics ever feel right? And what’s next for Nebraska athletics as it moves closer to a major overhaul of its football venue?

USC is set to invade Haymarket Park this weekend. The Trojans are bringing pitchers. Lots of good pitchers. Could it be reminiscent of the type of series that Will Bolt experienced on an annual basis during his time as a player at Nebraska? There’s a new rule about overseas travel for basketball teams. Nebraska volleyball coach Dani Busboom Kelly dropped big scheduling news. And we have an offer for Sam Hoiberg. Join us.

Rising intensity for Nebraska baseball amidst crucial midseason stretch

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 17:05:00 +0000

Nebraska and Creighton turned up the tension Tuesday night for a clash at Haymarket Park. And just as in their previous meeting on the baseball diamond this season, the Huskers emerged with a one-run victory, 5-4, behind clutch bullpen work and early offense. With another week remaining in this high-leverage stretch of games, Nebraska is refining the role of former Friday night starter Ty Horn. He performed well against the Bluejays in his new job.

Iowa football is vacating wins. It’s all very dumb. But we take a look at the situation in Iowa City. And Nebraska basketball continues to receive word from key pieces of its 2025-26 team that they’re back for next season. As the portal turns, we assess Fred Hoiberg’s in-progress roster. Join us for a Wednesday podcast.

Pryce is BACK: Is Sandfort already a Nebraska basketball icon?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We had an inkling, but Pryce Sandfort made it official on Monday. He’ll return for an encore after his All-Big Ten and Sweet 16 debut year with the Nebraska basketball team. Fred Hoiberg says that the Huskers have unfinished business. What’s next for the Huskers’ premier sharpshooter?

Nebraska football lost a South Dakota high school prospect to Penn State. How much of a concern is Matt Campbell’s pillaging of the Huskers’ backyard? Creighton visits Nebraska baseball on Tuesday. Did you see the first home run that Ava Kuszak hit on Sunday at Wisconsin? One announcer did not. And we’re talking about Ariana Akey, the first recruit in the history of the Nebraska women’s flag football program. Join us.

Is Nebraska football ready for the spotlight when it inevitably returns?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Nebraska sports are buzzing. The latest weekend brought us excitement in baseball, softball, volleyball and developments in the basketball transfer portal. Still, in these dog days of the season, Nebraska football remains something of a buzzkill. What happens when the spotlight returns?

Connor and Mitch dig into the weekend for Nebraska baseball at Oregon. Is there a silver lining in losing a Big Ten series? Fred Hoiberg got one portal commit. The Huskers did not close on another prospect during his time on campus. Plenty of time remains to make moves. Join us for a full Monday show.

Nebraska mailbag: What if … Matt Rhule had accomplished Curt Cignetti-level success?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Friday Nebraska mailbag is open. We’re covering all the sports today — from football (apathy) to hoops (portal talk) to baseball and softball (postseason dreams), volleyball and even hockey. We’ve got hypotheticals, negativity and a new theory about Matt Rhule’s coaching skillset.

Join us for a fun show and have a great weekend.

BIG 10 SQUAD: 5 For 5 is NEARING | What this means for Nebraska

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 9 Apr 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Big Ten powers surge to national championship glory while the SEC scrambles for answers. Michigan basketball’s triumphant run, spearheaded by coach Dusty May and hobbled star Yaxel Lendeborg, delivers a long-awaited NCAA title and ignites new expectations across the conference. Indiana football and UCLA women’s basketball add to the Big Ten’s historic sweep, each dominating their postseason with relentless play and strategic excellence. Host Spencer McLaughlin leads a no-holds-barred roundtable as the Big 10 Squad celebrates Penn State’s wrestling dynasty and debate the proposed “five for five” eligibility rule. Key topics include the impact of older athletes in college sports, the rise of Big Ten coaching, and how NIL money is fueling a seismic shift in power. As transfer portal chaos and massive alumni bases reshape the landscape, can the SEC keep up or is this just the start of Big Ten dominance?

So long, Berke. Where does a key departure leave Nebraska basketball in its roster makeover?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 9 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The big news out of Lincoln on Wednesday: Berke Buyuktencel is headed to the transfer portal. We’re talking on this Thursday about the departure of Nebraska’s Turkish big man. College sports can be harsh. Nebraska fans fell in love with Buyuktencel amid the Huskers’ 28-7 season this year. He even got a tattoo on his arm to commemorate the record season.

Where will Fred Hoiberg turn for help? How many spots must he fill? And how quickly will it all come together? Also, in the world of proposed rule changes, the five-for-five eligibility conversation is gaining real steam –- decades after it first surfaced. We may have it in play in 2026. Something that actually seems to make sense. Amazing. And don’t forget to submit your mailbag questions.

Nebraska football and the apathy discussion: What role does the 2026 schedule play?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 8 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We’re back together on a Wednesday and talking about Nebraska football in 2026. It’s been established that fans around the program are feeling a little down in this moment. Many have taken a glass-half-empty approach to the offseason and the upcoming fall. How much of that is related to the Huskers’ poor, three-game finish in 2025? And are some of these feelings related to the presence of Indiana, Oregon and Ohio State on the Huskers’ slate next season?

The transfer portal is open in basketball. Two Huskers have entered. Fred Hoiberg is looking for a few pieces to fill out his next roster. Also, Nebraska baseball saw its 10-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday night at the start of an important stretch of games. Will Bolt didn’t stick around to see the end. Join us for details and our thoughts.

Nebraska basketball in the offseason: Can Fred Hoiberg capitalize on the Huskers' historic run?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 7 Apr 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Before "One Shining Moment" reached its last note on Monday night, the transfer portal was open. For Nebraska basketball, this is reality. Coach Fred Hoiberg reflected Monday on the Huskers' run to the Sweet 16, at the same time acknowledging the work ahead -- in retention and acquisition -- to ensure that Nebraska builds on its success.

We're joined on this Tuesday by Dirk Chatelain to dissect the moment in basketball for Nebraska. Dirk shares his perspective as a longtime observer and journalist. And we veer into a conversation, too, about Nebraska baseball and the immediate challenge for Will Bolt's team. Join us.

We are on the cusp of a new level of Big Ten dominance. Does it matter?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 6 Apr 2026 13:00:00 +0000

This week starts with a serving of basketball. It’s championship Monday. Michigan is on the big stage against UConn. And the Wolverines have a chance to deliver another national title to the Big Ten. If it happens, the Big Ten would hold trophies in football and men’s basketball together for the first time since 1940-41. That’s not even to mention that UCLA – a member of the Big Ten – won the league’s first title in women’s basketball on Sunday. Our hosts debate the importance of this Big Ten dominance.

Also, we’re annoyed by a few aspects of football recruiting as the spring contact period nears a start. Finally, Nebraska baseball and softball completed sweeps over the weekend. What’s next for these two squads as the weather, hopefully, warms in April and May? Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: What do the Huskers have in common with the New York Jets?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 3 Apr 2026 17:50:00 +0000

We’re here on this Friday to answer your questions. Are fans of Nebraska football actually more realistic than ever – and not mired in negativity, as we’ve suggested? What’s the connection between the Huskers and one of the NFL’s worst franchises? Fred Hoiberg wins the AP coach of the year award. Could his son, Sam, ever end up on the Nebraska basketball radio broadcast?

One brand of beer is again a topic. Is the state of Nebraska too far from everything that’s relevant for the Huskers to succeed? Does Mitch annoy you? How to fix college football? And we revisit the comments made last week after the spring game by Nebraska safety Dwayne McDougle. Join us and have a great weekend.

Nebraska football: What do the Huskers do now?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 2 Apr 2026 15:05:00 +0000

OK, spring football at Nebraska is over – almost a full month earlier than normal. So what do the Huskers do next? A full six weeks remain until the spring semester is over. It’s time that Nebraska can’t afford to waste. There are other questions to address in the wake of spring ball. Are the Huskers elite at any position group on the field? And how much will we hear from coach Matt Rhule over the next four months?

We’re talking about the news from Husker Online that Pryce Sandfort played with a sports hernia and needs surgery. Is he more likely, as a result, to return to Lincoln as a senior. Also, nationally ranked Nebraska baseball and softball return home this weekend to continue their runs at Big Ten titles. For Will Bolt’s team in particular, a key stretch of nine games is nearly here. Join us on this Thursday.

The elephant lurking in the room with Nebraska’s long list of winning teams

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 1 Apr 2026 17:35:00 +0000

It’s Wednesday, and we’re tackling an awkward topic. What about Nebraska football is different than all of the other programs in which the Huskers invest? Whether it’s baseball or softball this spring, basketball in the winter or volleyball in the fall, Nebraska is winning big right now in athletics. What’s the common thread – and why hasn’t it led Matt Rhule’s football team to the mountaintop? We’ve got theories and avenues to explore.

On the topic of winning, Will Bolt’s squad beat Creighton 6-5 to earn its 17th victory Tuesday night 18 games. Connor saw the Huskers up close. We take a look at that team and examine what’s next at the outset of April. And Nate Loenser, the Nebraska basketball assistant, was up for a head-coaching job. Could the Huskers still lose their defensive coordinator in this offseason? Join us.

Nebraska football narratives: REAL OR NOT? The OC/QB fit, run defense and O-line upgrades

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 16:50:00 +0000

Spring football in Matt Rhule’s Nebraska football program has ended, but the narratives remain. A long five months await for the Nebraska football fans who aren’t willing to believe any of what they see and hear until September. Let’s dig into the narratives and offer some help with a guide on this final day of March about what is real and what’s not.

Is the quarterback-offensive coordinator match a good one? Can the run defense hold up? Is there too much negativity swirling? Is Jamal Rule on track for a special season as a true freshman? And more. Finally, we’re previewing Nebraska-Creighton baseball on Tuesday night in downtown Omaha. Join us.

Nebraska football: Did we misread the RB situation?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Spring football is over at Nebraska. The spring game came and went on Saturday. The Huskers unveiled QB Anthony Colandrea and running back Jamal Rule and a long list of other newcomers. Did the new quarterback live up to his billing? What’s a Nebraska comp for Colandrea? And now that we’ve seen the running back room by committee, it may have changed our opinions on Nebraska’s decision this winter to stand with the group it had. We discuss.

Also, a couple of the transfers brought some bravado and confidence to their post-scrimmage comments. And as we’ve seen this year, anything that isn’t winning a football game at the moment sits poorly with some Nebraska fans. The Final Four is set. We’re looking back, too, and the weekend in Lincoln on the baseball and softball diamonds. These teams are going places. Join us.

It’s over for Nebraska basketball. But wow, what a ride!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 17:20:00 +0000

The dream season came to a screeching end Thursday night in Houston for the Nebraska basketball team. Iowa overcame a game-long deficit with a late run to beat the Huskers 77-71 in the Sweet 16. The final minute was marred for Nebraska by a mistake. Connor and Mitch get into all of it. And we’re discussing the future for Husker hoops as a result of all the magic that transpired this season.

Also, it’s time for the Nebraska football spring game. Yes, it kicks off Saturday at 11 a.m. at Memorial Stadium. We’re looking forward to it. Nebraska baseball and softball are also home on a big sports weekend in Lincoln. Expect some wild weather. We provide a forecast. Join us on this Friday.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Big 10 QB DEBATE | Where Nebraska Stacks up

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Big Ten quarterbacks spark fierce debate—is Dante Moore the true #1, or does Julian Sayin hold the crown? With the conference boasting record representation in the Sweet 16, the pressure mounts for Michigan, Illinois, and Purdue to finally claim a National Championship and silence SEC dominance in men's basketball. The Big 10 Squad breaks down quarterback rankings, analyze the impact of standout signal-callers on programs like Ohio State, Oregon, and Wisconsin, and spotlight Dante Moore's NFL-caliber upside. The squad tackles March Madness surprises, coaching narratives, and the Big Ten’s shifting reputation on the national stage. The conversation heats up as panelists debate the chaos of the NCAA transfer "shadow portal"—is college sports primed for radical change, or is the system beyond repair? Can the Big Ten capture football and basketball supremacy this season?

Nebraska mailbag: Is this a basketball school now? Not a chance

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The mailbag is open on this Thursday. We’re a day early – because of the Sweet 16 on tap tonight – and full of answers to your questions. Thanks, as always, for getting them to us. So… is Nebraska a basketball school now that it’s made the Sweet 16? What would that even look like if the Huskers sunk more resources into hoops at the expense of football? Don’t worry, it’s not going to happen. They can strive to be good at both sports.

Has the pressure increased on Matt Rhule as a result of the basketball team’s run? Or will the patience shown in Fred Hoiberg encourage Nebraska fans and the administration to remain patient with the football coach? What’s with Nebraska fans and the Busch Light fascination? Texas or Iowa State, which program gets more under the Huskers’ skin? And we’re chatting about the red-hot Nebraska baseball team. Join us, then get ready for the basketball nirvana.

Nebraska-Iowa basketball crossover: Breaking down the unthinkable matchup

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It’s Wednesday at the Locked On Nebraska, and Mitch is joined by Trent Condon of Locked On Hawkeyes to discuss Nebraska and Iowa in the Sweet 16. After marveling at the fact that yes, this is actually happening – one of these two programs will play on Saturday for a spot in the Final Four – Mitch and Trent get down to the business of discussing this matchup.

Which team might dictate the style of play? Who has a leg up after the two meetings over the past five weeks? What could be the impact of fans traveling to Houston? Are there teams left in the field that Nebraska and Iowa fans despise more than the opponent in this matchup? We’ve got keys to the game. And predictions. Join us.

The forecast for Thursday: Hot and messy as Nebraska and Iowa tangle again

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

This week is moving fast. Thursday night will be here before we know it. Nebraska and Iowa are set to meet in the Sweet 16 at 6:30 p.m., the second game in the next round of the NCAA Tournament. Connor and Mitch are diving into the matchup. How can the Huskers stay even with the Hawkeyes on the boards? Who are the players that matter most when the Big Ten rivals meet for the third time in five weeks?

We’re also looking at big news in the state of Nebraska from Monday. Creighton coach Greg McDermott announced his retirement after 16 seasons on Monday. McDermott paved a path for Fred Hoiberg to enter the college coaching world in 2010 – and the two coaches have remained close through their time together at the rival schools in this state. How does McDermott’s departure, coupled with the Huskers’ rise this season, affect the basketball landscape in Nebraska? Join us.

SURPRISE! It’s Iowa-Nebraska – with everything at stake – in Houston

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Nebraska basketball punched its ticket on Saturday to the Sweet 16, where a date with top-seeded Florida, the defending national champion, appeared imminent. Not so fast. No. 9-seeded Iowa upset the Gators, 73-72, on Sunday to join the Huskers in Houston. Yes, Nebraska and Iowa will match in the Sweet 16 on Thursday in Houston, with the winner to play Houston or Illinois for a trip to the Final Four.

We’re here with reaction to this incredible development. This game will mark the third meeting this season between the Huskers and Hawkeyes. The bad blood is already thick. They split two meetings, both winning at home. Nebraska punctuated its senior day on March 8 with an overtime victory against Iowa. So let’s get to it – at the start of what promises to rate as a wild week.

SWEETNESS: Nebraska basketball is headed to Houston!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 13:10:00 +0000

We’re here for a special Sunday podcast after the Nebraska basketball team punched its ticket to Houston and a round of 16 game with a 74-72 victory in Oklahoma City against Vanderbilt. Braden Frager hit the game winner. So many of the Huskers factored heavily in the historic victory, and Nebraska survived the final, nearly iconic heave from Tyler Tanner.

Where does this rank among great moments in Nebraska sports history? What’s next for Nebraska fans, who took over Oklahoma City and created an environment unlike anything that basketball observers have seen for the first weekend of an NCAA Tournament? We’re reacting to all of it. Join us.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag is open. Today, we’re comparing things that are nearly impossible to compare – championships in football, title bids in other sports and Nebraska’s basketball victory on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament?

Is anyone on this roster flying under the radar for next season, and what kind of a rebuild is Fred Hoiberg looking at?

We’re talking about fan migrations. How impressive was the latest feat by Husker Nation? Is Matt Rhule reshaping his football team in the mold of a great coach from Nebraska’s past? And where is the strangest place you’ve ever encountered a Nebraska football player or coach? Join us.

HISTORY: Nebraska basketball routs Troy to advance in the NCAA Tournament

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 19:20:00 +0000

We are here in the aftermath of the greatest win in the history of Nebraska basketball. The Huskers took down Troy 76-47 Thursday in Oklahoma City to earn their first-ever NCAA Tournament win. The labels are gone. Nebraska finally cleared the hurdle that has stood in front of this program since its first appearance in this event 40 years ago.

Pryce Sandfort scored 23 and set the tone offensively in the first half. Nebraska played lockdown defense. It overwhelmed Troy. On a day that has started off with several teams on upset watch, Fred Hoiberg’s team was never in danger. And some 15,000 Nebraska fans were there to see it happen. Let the party begin as the Huskers eye a matchup on Saturday with a berth in the Sweet 16 on the line.

The verdict: Our picks for Nebraska basketball in OKC and the NCAA Tournament

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The wait is almost over. It’s Wednesday. And this episode of the Locked On Nebraska podcast serves as our final preview of the Huskers’ NCAA Tournament opener against Troy. The game is Thursday at 11:40 a.m. in Oklahoma City. We’ll be back with you when it ends with lots of reaction. Will we be talking about the thousands of Nebraska fans who made the journey south into the heat of OKC? Husker Nation has the potential to rate as a key storyline.

Who needs to play well for the Huskers to win? What do the odds say? Is Vanderbilt actually a more popular pick than Nebraska to win two games this week? We’re making picks for Thursday and selecting the teams that we expect to advance all the way to Indianapolis. Join us.

‘We know what’s at stake’: Nebraska basketball aims for historic win

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Thursday morning will be here before you know it. It’s the week of the first round of the NCAA Tournament, a hectic time around Nebraska as the men’s and women’s basketball programs prep for first-round games. Fred Hoiberg’s Huskers are headed to Oklahoma City to take on Troy.

Hoiberg is high on the Trojans, champions of the Sun Belt. But the Nebraska coach is touting his players’ strengths and experience, too. How important is a crisp start for Nebraska with an 11:40 a.m. tip? And what’s with all these football people jumping on the basketball bandwagon? The more, the merrier, we saw, as long as your intentions are genuine. We check in also on the Nebraska women, who are headed to Durham, N.C., for a First Four matchup against Richmond. Join us.

Nebraska mailbag: Might witchcraft unlock success for Husker hoops in March?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag is open. We’re diving in with a dangerous inquiry from one of our loyal listeners. Should he risk missing the birth of his child for an opportunity to see Nebraska basketball aim for its first win in the NCAA Tournament? Connor and Mitch, fathers who have attended the births of their children, offer advice. Another question: Might Nebraska basketball – and Rienk Mast, in particular – benefit from the use of witchcraft to climb the mountain next week?

How is Fred Hoiberg faring in recruiting? Who might start for his Huskers in 2026-27? If Dylan Raiola had not left Nebraska, would this spring on the football practice field feel any different? What would it take for Matt Rhule to win Big Ten coach of the year? Does Anthony Colandrea give the Huskers an identity on offense? And can Mark Manning’s wrestling team get a little love ahead of the NCAA Championships next week? Join us.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Big 10 Tampering CHAOS | What does this mean for Nebraska

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Tampering and NIL controversies shake up the Big Ten as Nebraska challenges the College Sports Commission's rulings on NIL deals—are new regulations the answer, or just adding fuel to the fire? The Big 10 Squad breaks down Tony Petitti’s embattled leadership, ongoing tampering scandals, and the uncertain power dynamics shaping college football’s future. Key topics include the Big Ten’s stance on transfer portal “no contact” rules, predictions for a possible super-conference era, and whether schools like Maryland could get left behind. Plus, spring football storylines take center stage: Iowa’s wide receiver rebuild, Washington’s reliance on true freshmen, and Ohio State’s offensive identity crisis with Arthur Smith at the helm. Don’t miss insider insights, sharp banter, and a candid look at the ever-evolving landscape of Big Ten athletics.

Meet Nebraska football newcomer Kwazi Gilmer, who’s talking about dawgs, cats, the weather and QBs

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Nebraska football is nearly two-thirds of the way through its spring football practice season. On Wednesday, we heard from coach Matt Rhule, assistants Daikiel Shorts and Addison Williams and Huskers Jamir Conn, Donovan Jones and Kwazi Gilmer. Gilmer, the UCLA transfer at wide receiver, is fun. His presence rates as a plus for Nebraska. We review Gilmer’s media session.

Rhule continued with his subdued approach to the spring. He said the quiet part out loud on Wednesday – that the Huskers are simply looking to “float under the radar” this month. Connor and Mitch discuss this strategy and weigh in on the Q&A periods with Shorts and Williams, who coach perhaps the two most stacked areas on this football team in 2026. Also, the Big Ten tournament opener is getting close for Nebraska basketball. Join us.

Observations from Nebraska spring football: The offense … will look different

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

We’re providing takeaways on this Wednesday to an open period of Nebraska football practice, the first opportunity for media this spring to view the Huskers’ changing offensive and defensive systems. Let’s just say, it’s all a work in progress. Offensively, Nebraska has plans for Anthony Colandrea and the weapons around him. Can Dana Holgorsen piece the puzzle together?

On defense, several newcomers are setting the tone among defensive line and linebacker units. As Nebraska basketball prepares for the Big Ten tournament, four Huskers and coach Fred Hoiberg collected hardware from the league. Connor and Mitch have thoughts. And we’re looking, too, at a new legal case that involves 18 Nebraska football players and their NIL deals with the Huskers’ multimedia rights company, PlayFly.

Nebraska football: Off schedule is now on schedule for Dana Holgorsen’s offense

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Nebraska is more than halfway through spring football practice. Can you believe it? The Huskers have taken a low-key approach to the spring this year. With one newcomer, though, offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen can’t hold back. Anthony Colandrea is unlike any quarterback that Holgorsen has coached. Colandrea is redefining the Huskers’ bread and butter with his ability to extend plays.

Ultimately, how will this work? Connor and Mitch have thoughts. And we’re looking at Rob Aurich’s style of coaching the defense through eight practices of the spring. Say this for the new defensive coordinator: He explains things well. Stands to reason, it’s part of what makes him a successful coach. Big Ten basketball honors are due out on Tuesday. Where will we see Fred Hoiberg and Nebraska players? Join us.

‘We’re not losing today’: Nebraska rallies past Iowa and Fred Hoiberg gets a contract extension

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 9 Mar 2026 16:05:00 +0000

We’re here on this Monday, a little late but full of breaking news. Nebraska has extended basketball coach Fred Hoiberg through 2031-32 after his team finished the regular season with a stirring victory at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Sunday against Iowa. It went to overtime. Sam Hoiberg and Cale Jacobsen starred in the closing minutes. All was well in Lincoln as the Huskers moved into the postseason with 26 wins.

In the arena, tension was thick. Nebraska and its fans wanted to win for reasons that transcended basketball and this basketball season. Ultimately, the Huskers got it done. We’re assessing the moment – and looking at what’s next for Nebrasketball. Join us.

Nebraska mailbag: You have reason to BUY IN NOW on the Huskers’ offensive line

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 6 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag is open. We’re starting with football questions about the Nebraska offensive line. Is this a good group, with three potential new starters and restructured leadership? We feel a certain, specific way about the O-line. Tune in to hear. And what about the new QB, Anthony Colandrea? Why all the hype when he wasn’t the Huskers’ first choice in the portal? It’s possible that Nebraska fell into something good.

On the basketball front, we’re revisiting the discussion about a team MVP for the Huskers. What coaching awards will Fred Hoiberg win? With three consecutive 20-win seasons, should he get more aggressive with the non-conference schedule? How would the season be viewed if Nebraska fails to get out of the first round in the NCAA Tournament? We finish with a question about a kangaroo and an important date in the life of one of our listeners – and for one of our hosts. Join us.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Ranking the BEST Quarterbacks in the Big 10 | Where does Anthony Colandrea rank?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Mar 2026 22:00:00 +0000

Who will emerge as the Big Ten’s top quarterback in 2026—Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, or a surprise contender? The Big 10 Squad debates Tom Fornelli’s latest rankings, spotlighting rising stars like De’Mon Williams, Jayden Maiava, Josh Hoover, and Bryce Underwood. Heated discussions erupt over Josh Hoover’s upside at Indiana, Malik Washington’s raw talent at Maryland, and whether Rocco Becht or Caden Houser truly belong in the Big Ten’s top tier. Position battles, conference dynamics, and program futures take center stage as the squad questions Michigan’s quarterback development, the state of Wisconsin’s Dairy Raid under Luke Fickell, and Iowa’s search for a top-12 signal caller with Jeremy Hechtlinski. Will high-profile transfers—like Nico Iamaleava and Aidan Chiles—shake up the rankings, or does a new face like Tavien St. Clair at Ohio State threaten to break out this season? Get the ultimate Big Ten quarterback preview here.

Anthony Colandrea’s ‘wild’ beginnings with Nebraska – and more on the QBs and RBs

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

On Wednesday in Lincoln, Nebraska quarterbacks and running backs met with the media. Anthony Colandrea left an impression in his first interview session since the senior QB transferred to Nebraska from UNLV. Connor and Mitch offer their thoughts – and what it could mean for his ability to connect with teammates this year.

Danny Kaelin is a year older and wiser. It shows. So is TJ Lateef, who provided a clear answer to questions about the decisions that he faced after his first season with the Huskers. Nebraska running backs coach EJ Barthel hopes that his group is set to play with a chip on its collective shoulder. We look, too, at the first set of midweek games for Nebraska baseball. Join us.

Nebraska basketball: Cause for concern after the West Coast swing?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 4 Mar 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Thanks for your patience on this Wednesday. We’re here with a basketball-only podcast in the wake of Nebraska’s 72-52 loss at UCLA, wrapping a West Coast trip with a late night at Pauley Pavilion. Should we be concerned about the Huskers’ inability to consistently play two strong halves in recent weeks?

These are the dog days of the season. Nebraska wasn’t clicking on all cylinders in its final road game of the season. A couple players in particular struggled to produce. Connor and Mitch assess the situation as Fred Hoiberg’s team heads toward Sunday against Iowa and then the Big Ten Tournament. Speaking of Sunday, we offer a first look at how that might go at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Join us.

In the moment: Nebraska basketball aims for a historic win at a historic venue

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 3 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Nebraska basketball has a big night ahead. The ninth-ranked Huskers head into Pauley Pavilion on Tuesday to face UCLA, which has played much better than its bubble-team status at home this season. The Bruins are 16-1 at home. The Huskers are seeking a California road sweep and school-record-tying 26th victory. What else is at stake for Fred Hoiberg’s team? We’ve got some UCLA-Nebraska trivia as well.

In the world of spring football, an opportunity arrives this week to discuss the quarterback and running back situations with assistant coaches Glenn Thomas and E.J. Barthel. Connor and Mitch discuss a few topics. The Nebraska women’s basketball team starts play Wednesday in the Big Ten Tournament. The Nebraska baseball and softball teams open their home seasons this week. And Nebraska volleyball is in the news for some spring scheduling developments.

Impact linebacker: Nebraska football found something in transfer Owen Chambliss

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 2 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

We turn our attention on this Monday to spring football at Nebraska. Linebacker Owen Chambliss, the San Diego State transfer, highlighted the weekend interview session. He’s an important addition for Rob Aurich and the Huskers on defense. Maybe even more important than we realized at first. Why? We’ll tell you. Also, more from Matt Rhule. And we heard from wide receiver Jacory Barney ahead of his third season.

We look back quickly at Saturday in Los Angeles as Nebraska hoops beat USC. For more on that, find our Sunday pod. The Trojans’ top player is done after the loss against the Huskers. Big Ten bubble teams had a rough weekend. One of them, UCLA, is set to host Nebraska on Tuesday. We check in on the race for the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Nebraska has the inside track. Will that matter on Selection Sunday? And Nebraska baseball limped to the finish of its three-week road stretch to open the season. Join us.

Madness! Nebraska basketball has 25 wins and a head of steam to enter a new month

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 1 Mar 2026 16:10:00 +0000

Happy birthday to the state of Nebraska. March is here. And we’re all in on hoops as the Huskers, after a 15-point win on Saturday at USC, have reached 25 wins and a school-record 14 in conference play. Pryce Sandfort led the way again with 32 points against the Trojans. Is he a first-team All-Big Ten player? We saw the impact again of Sam Hoiberg as he sat much of the first half with foul trouble, then helped the Huskers outscore USC by 20 points after halftime.

Nebraska heads to UCLA on Tuesday, then will face Iowa at home on Senior Day. And by the way, the forecast calls for 70 degrees in Lincoln on March 8, with Nebraska baseball and basketball at home in the Haymarket. Make your plans now. In Nebraska football, the Huskers completed their fifth practice of the spring. Matt Rhule spoke to the media. Quarterbacks were again a topic. We discuss. Join us.

Nebraska mailbag: Are Matt Rhule’s Huskers improving enough from September to November?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:45:00 +0000

The mailbag is open. You’re getting us a few hours early this week. Why? Because we’ll be back on the weekend as developments unfold in the worlds of Nebraska football and basketball. So let’s go. Is fan apathy at a recent high around Nebraska football? What impressions did Brett Maher and the new defensive assistants make this week?

We’re going way back to answer this question: If Nebraska had not promoted Frank Solich in 1998, then who might it have landed? What are the high and low seeds available to Nebraska basketball in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments? Do Rienk Mast’s physical limitations rate as a concern for the Huskers? What are the best and worst possible NCAA matchups for Fred Hoiberg’s team? And Nebraska has hired two coaches to launch its flag football program. We discuss. Join us.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Big 10 Rosters are getting MORE EXPENSIVE | How Much Nebraska is spending

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 22:00:00 +0000

Big Ten dominates college football while the SEC eyes $40 million rosters—will money alone shift the balance of power? The Big 10 squad debates whether high-priced rosters can save the SEC from Big Ten superiority and reflect on Lane Kiffin’s coaching priorities. Key insights touch on Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State’s spending, with comparisons to Indiana’s national championship run without breaking the bank. Conversation heats up as hosts question non-conference scheduling tactics, propose Power 4 matchups, and call out Notre Dame. The group tackles playoff expansion talk, the potential end of the NCAA, and Big Ten’s influence on the sport’s future. From conference scheduling philosophies to the controversy surrounding Indiana’s eligibility, the Locked On Big Ten Squad brings humor and sharp analysis to college athletics’ biggest questions.

Nebraska football: Enough drama. Let’s meet the new special teams leadership

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

We can feel winter’s end in the air. Maybe it’s because Nebraska is already 20 percent of the way finished with spring football. On Wednesday, special teams coordinator Brett Maher and new defensive assistants Corey Brown and Roy Manning will meet with the media. Since the end of last season, too much drama has surrounded the special teams, extending last Friday to Mike Ekeler’s introduction at USC. It’s time for that conversation to end. What’s on the agenda for Maher and his partner on special teams, Nick Humphrey?

We revisit Rob Aurich’s stance on his reunion with Brown and Nebraska safeties coach Tyler Yelk. Nebraska basketball is sick. The Huskers are trying to avoid a full team outbreak of the stomach flu – different but more disgusting than the actual flu – as Maryland visits Pinnacle Bank Arena on Wednesday night. What’s at stake for Nebraska in these final four games of the regular season? We bat it around. Join us.

Nebraska football: It’s all about the money. Or is it?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The hard launch of Nebraska spring practice has passed. We’re still looking back, though, at the Huskers’ spring preview from late last week. Notably, we peer way back at Matt Rhule’s comments from October. Remember when the Nebraska coach said that “we can now go get anybody we want?” Well… the Huskers did well in retaining their talent from 2025. And the transfer portal produced solid, not spectacular, results.

Is it a money issue? And does Nebraska want to go all in on that race to buy the best roster? Also, we evaluate Rob Aurich’s assessment of the talent on defense for the Huskers. Aurich knows one thing: He wants to get big on defense – and presumably more physical. And finally, Nebraska basketball, baseball and softball are in the news. We touch them all.

Tension? Nebraska football faces questions at the outset of spring practice

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

We’re back on this final Monday of February with a look at the Nebraska football team as spring practice opens. More precisely, we’re interested in a few things that offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen had to say last week before the first workout of the spring season. What are the Huskers’ strength on offense? What did Holgorsen learn from last season? How does he feel about the picture at running back?

The OC provides answers. Is it what you want to hear? Probably not in every case. Connor and Mitch offer verdicts on each of his stances. Also, Nebraska basketball stomped Penn State. Pryce Sandfort scored a career-high 33 points. The Huskers are again dealing with injury and illness with four games left in the regular season. And they earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA’s early bracket reveal. We weight in on what it means for Nebraska’s chance to get to Oklahoma City next month. Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: The best ex-Husker QB comp for Anthony Colandrea?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Winter is back. But it’s Friday. And spring football is here. It’s confusing. What’s easy to understand is this: You’ve got questions. And we’re doing our best in this mailbag episode to give you answers. Should Nebraska change its pricing on season tickets to reflect the success, or lack of it, enjoyed by the teams you’re paying to see? Is the Memorial Stadium project ever going to happen?

Nebraska football returned to the podium on Thursday. We’re answering your questions on Rob Aurich, the new defensive coordinator. Dana Holgorsen offered some insight on the development of Elijah Pritchett. You might like what he had to say. What if Nebraska basketball had won an NCAA Tournament game under Danny Nee? Would everything be different? And did Nebraska try to duck Tennessee or not? Join us.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 22:00:00 +0000

UCLA Basketball implodes as Mick Cronin ejects his own player and clashes with media, sparking debate about his future. Is Cronin’s fiery approach wearing thin, and did UCLA make a costly mistake by extending his contract? Locked On Big Ten Squad tackles Cronin’s meltdown, comparing his antics with Tom Izzo and Matt Painter’s leadership styles, and questions whether postgame outbursts are damaging UCLA’s reputation. The conversation heats up as ESPN rumors swirl about Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State potentially leaving the Big Ten to cash in on their own alliances. Hosts weigh the risks, benefits, and scheduling headaches of a league without its top brands, while panelists analyze Pat Fitzgerald’s impact at Michigan State and debate whether his hiring truly deserves “worst of the cycle” status. Don’t miss candid insights on Big Ten football’s wild future and the turbulent coaching carousel.

More juice for Iowa-Nebraska rivalry? You got it after this week

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Wednesday delivered more reaction to Nebraska-Iowa basketball game, a five-point win for the Hawkeyes followed by an altercation between an Iowa fan and Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg. For that, Hoiberg wound up featured by TMZ. Iowa apologized for the postgame incident. The Big Ten issued a statement. It was a whole thing. And in the big picture, it just means that the rivalry between Iowa and Nebraska continues to gain legitimacy and vitriol. That we can get behind.

Will the hard feelings carry over the March 8, when Iowa visits Lincoln? Probably, yes. Great. Be loud. Just don’t throw anything – or you might get banned for life from Nebraska athletics, like a fan who acted stupidly this month at the Purdue-Nebraska game at PBA. Nebraska football announced its special teams coaching lineup. We’re talking about the specialists as spring practice looms. And we preview the weekend for Nebraska baseball and softball. Join us.

A big, red flag? Nebraska basketball goes down at Iowa

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The Nebraska basketball team was beaten on Iowa’s terms Tuesday night. The Huskers failed to match the Hawkeyes on the glass. Nebraska struggled with its shot. And it lost for the first time to an unranked opponent in this 2025-26 season, 57-52 at a hyped up Carver-Hawkeye Arena. So the Huskers have dropped four of its past six. Still, though, they’re 22-4, with a winnable stretch of games ahead over the next week.

What should we read into Tuesday? Is the recipe now known to beat this Fred Hoiberg-coached squad? Also, we continue with our preview of Nebraska’s spring football season. On Wednesday, we’re looking at the secondary. Andrew Marshall returns to lead this group. But who’s next up on the list after the Huskers’ top cornerback? Join us as we look ahead to the return on Thursday of Matt Rhule to the interview podium.

Nebraska football and the Big 12 conversation that will never just go away

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It’s Tuesday at the Locked On Nebraska podcast, and we’re talking about the Big 12. Why?!? Well, because Bill Moos – the former athletic director who wrote a book – uncovered old wounds and revisited the topic. Should Nebraska have jumped at the chance to return to its former league when the window was apparently open five years ago? Connor and Mitch have strong thoughts on this. And we’re here to share them with you.

Also, our spring football preview continues with a look at the Nebraska linebackers. Who stands to lead this group in 2026? Can the Huskers improve here, despite losing their top defender from a year ago? Is Vincent Shavers ready to be a star? And how will Rob Aurich mesh his teachings with the work of linebackers coach Rob Dvoracek? We’re also evaluating the opening weekend for Nebraska baseball and peering ahead to Tuesday night as Nebraska basketball visits Iowa in a big game for postseason positioning.

Nebraska football: Why it's OK to believe in the Huskers’ D-line this year

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It’s Monday. It feels like spring. And we’re talking about spring football at Nebraska, which starts on Saturday. Today, it’s the defensive line, which was on the wrong end of obscene rushing numbers in 2025. Nebraska opponents gained more than 4.8 yards per carry. Rob Aurich is here to fix that. But does he have the right pieces – without a star-studded haul in the transfer portal? Connor and Mitch are optimistic. And we’re here to explain.

Nebraska basketball rolled to another victory on Saturday. Well, it stalled and sputtered for a while, then put its collective foot on the gas. Thanks to a turbo-charged engine of a point guard. What honors should Sam Hoiberg win as a result of his play this season? He deserves something. Nebraska softball produced another landmark victory on Sunday. And the Nebraska baseball team started the season on a strong note in Arizona. We dig into all of it. Join us.

With heated takes and bold predictions, this is your go-to preview for the Big Ten’s race to the championship.

Nebraska football: One position group that means everything to the Huskers in 2026

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It’s Thursday at the Locked On Nebraska podcast. We continue with our spring football preview series, looking in depth at the Huskers’ offensive line. Will it be as simple as Justin Evans, Elijah Pritchett and the three Power 4 transfers? Connor and Mitch say no. What’s the key for this group, under the new direction of Geep Wade, and how important is the O-line to the overall success of Dana Holgorsen’s unit?

The Nebraska athletic department entered the conversation about objects flying out of the seats at PInnacle Bank Arena late in the Huskers’ Tuesday night OT loss against Purdue. Whatever you do at a basketball game, Nebraska fans, don’t think anything on the court. We’re looking also at the season-opening weekend for Nebraska baseball and weekend No. 2 for Nebraska softball. Both teams are on the road, on TV and matched against top competition.

Nebraska football: Huskers’ pass catchers rate as THE offensive strength in 2026

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000

On the day after the seventh-ranked Nebraska basketball team lost in overtime against Purdue, we’re looking back at a memorable night at Pinnacle Bank Arena. How did Jamarques Lawrence slip? Why did Purdue destroy Nebraska on the boards? What does a third defeat in four games against top Big Ten competition mean for Fred Hoiberg’s team with March in view?

We have ticket and time information on the Red-White game at Memorial Stadium. Today, we’re looking at Nebraska’s group of wide receivers and tight ends. Connor and Mitch agree that the pass catchers should – and likely do – rate as the best position group on the offensive side of the football. And we’re taking another look at Bill Moos’ book. Join us on this Wednesday.

Nebraska football: Bill Moos, an investigation and the Huskers’ uphill battle at running back

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Hello on this warm February Tuesday. The countdown to Nebraska football spring practice continues with a look at the running backs. Who’s going to carry the load? Who’s the leader? Does Nebraska have a Big Ten-ready back? Connor and Mitch have thoughts about the work that Huskers did (or did not do) over the transactional season in college football at this critical position for the offense in 2026.

Also, former Nebraska AD Bill Moos unveiled a book that’s full of interesting information about his time in Lincoln. Moos writes about his interactions with the likes of Scott Frost and Nebraska’s academic leadership, including Gov. Jim Pillen, who was then a member of the NU Board of Regents. Nebraska is reportedly under scrutiny from the College Sports Commission. Is that a big deal? And the Huskers host Purdue on the hardwood Tuesday in a clash with Big Ten and national implications.

Nebraska-Purdue basketball crossover: What's at stake Tuesday night in Lincoln?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:00:00 +0000

The last time Purdue basketball visited Nebraska, the Huskers earned one of the biggest wins in program history, knocking off the top-ranked Boilermakers two years ago en route to the NCAA Tournament. Matt Painter, Braden Smith and the Boilers are back tonight. And this time, Nebraska is the higher-ranked team, No. 7 in the latest AP poll. Purdue comes in at No. 13 after back-to-back wins that followed three consecutive defeats in January.

Mitch Sherman of Locked On Nebraska joins Nick Arvin of Locked On Boilermakers to discuss this Big Ten clash, with implications for the conference tournament and beyond in March. What are the keys? What can’t Nebraska afford? Are the hosts predicting another win for the home team in this series? Join us on a big game Tuesday.

The countdown is on to Nebraska football spring practice

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 9 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It’s a new week here at the Locked On Nebraska podcast. And can you believe it, spring football begins for the Huskers in a matter of days? For the next two weeks, Connor and Mitch will take a look at every area of this football team in 2026. To start, we’re examining the quarterbacks. It’s Anthony Colandrea and a couple of young players – TJ Lateef and Daniel Kaelin. What are the expectations and overlooked areas?

We’re also reviewing the Super Bowl on this Monday. We ate and listened and watched the commercials. Nebraska basketball handled its business on Saturday in New Jersey as Rienk Mast returned to form. The Huskers are 21-2. Purdue comes to Lincoln on Tuesday night. We take a look at the Big Ten race and consider the task ahead for Nebraska over the month ahead. Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: The media messed things up. Again

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 6 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The Nebraska mailbag is open. We’re here on this final Friday of the football season to look closely at things happening around Matt Rhule and the Huskers. We start with this: Did the media create unfair expectations for Nebraska in 2025? And are they doing it again in 2026? Connor and Mitch, of course, have thoughts. Is the success of Nebraska hoops hurting Nebraska football? It’s a valid question. We explain.

What’s your biggest gripe with the Huskers right now? What’s the best Super Bowl halftime show ever, and what’s the one show that needs to happen? What’s more likely, eight wins for the football team or an Elite Eight appearance in 2026? Should Rhule take a nod from Toby Keith? And does Roger Goodell need to get involved in order to prevent NFL players from jumping back to college? Join us have a great Super Bowl weekend.

Big 10 SQUAD - College Football Playoff Schedule REVEALED | How this Affects Nebraska

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Feb 2026 22:00:00 +0000

College Football Playoff schedule chaos leaves fans and teams scratching their heads—can the Big Ten rise above it yet again? Spencer McLaughlin leads a fiery debate on the playoff’s controversial new format, with candid reactions from Trent Condon, Jay Stevens, and Jacob Goins. From baffling bye-week outcomes—Indiana Hoosiers’ historic run under Kurt Signetti—to the struggle of balancing transfer portal timing and the academic calendar, the squad dives headfirst into the biggest issues facing college football today. Hot topics include the playoff’s fan-unfriendly schedule, its impact on recruiting and competitive balance, and how television networks and money are changing the game. The panel highlights recruiting wins, defensive standouts, and whether NIL deals and coaching decisions threaten the sport’s integrity. Are powerhouse programs like Ohio State, USC, and Washington ready to adapt, or will mismanagement from decision-makers derail their championship aspirations?

Are the winds of change blowing against Matt Rhule and Nebraska football?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Feb 2026 13:50:00 +0000

Big picture here on a Thursday: Has the Nebraska fan base turned against coach Matt Rhule after his three seasons in Lincoln? Connor and Mitch examine the situation as Rhule faces more scrutiny than at any time in his stay at Nebraska. Nebraska fans are questioning his moves. Some skepticism is healthy. And each offseason has its ebbs and flows. So what’s happening right now in the court of public opinion?

Nebraska athletics is set to fund many more scholarships in the years ahead. We look at the finances of this decision and assess the Huskers’ place in college sports. They’re in far better shape than even many of their other seemingly rich Big Ten counterparts. And Nebraska basketball hits the road this week after a needed break from game action to play at Rutgers. Why is it such a tough ticket in Piscataway? Join us for answers.

Matt Rhule and Nebraska football take a risk in keeping special teams in-house

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 4 Feb 2026 17:25:00 +0000

We got hit late Monday with the news that special teams assistant Josh Martin was leaving Nebraska for a high school coaching job. And then on Tuesday, news arrived that Brett Maher and Nick Humphrey would take control of the special teams at Nebraska in 2026? What’s happening with this part of the football team? Is Nebraska is de-emphasizing it again in comparison to the resources it devotes to offense and defense? Connor and Mitch examine the special teams issue.

Nebraska got a recruiting win on Wednesday. But as we know, the college football calendar is broken. Leaders in the sport on Tuesday announced dates for the CFP quarterfinals and semifinals over the next two seasons. There’s something new in there. But it’s far from what fans want and the sport needs. On this open of the late signing period, we discuss again what could actually be done to help get the calendar in order. Join us.

Why so early? A look at Matt Rhule’s decision to get a jump on Nebraska spring football

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 3 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Nebraska football starts spring practice two weeks, nearly a month earlier than what we’ve seen in other years under coach Matt Rhule. It’s likely going to be cold on those February mornings. The Huskers will be less than 60 days removed from their bowl loss in Las Vegas. Why the early start? Connor and Mitch explore the possibilities and offer a theory that the Huskers feel some urgency to get moving on their 2026 team – and to move on from 2025.

EJ Barthel, the Huskers’ running backs coach, offered praise for freshman Jamal Rule. A Nebraska staffer got hacked. Nebrasketball slipped four spots to No. 9 in the AP poll. The Huskers are losing another special teams assistant coach – this time to a high school program in Texas. And Troy Dannen is planning to give more rev share money to men’s basketball after this season. Great. But at the expense of whom?

Was Nebraska basketball exposed in a winless week against the Big Ten’s best?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 2 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It’s February. And we’re back for the start of another week, talking about back-to-back losses for the Nebraska basketball team. The Huskers fell at home, 78-69, Sunday against an Illinois squad that looks like a national championship contender. Nebraska, now 20-2, must now work to steer itself back on track. The Huskers again had the services on Sunday of Braden Frager and Rienk Mast. What’s next for this squad?

We’ve got the Super Bowl on our mind. Connor is cooking something up at home. And the Nebraska football team will be busy in this month ahead, starting Wednesday with the open of the late signing period. Spring football practice is right around the corner. What are the Huskers’ February priorities? Join us on this Monday.

Nebraska football mailbag: Why you, as a fan, should NOT sweat the details of NIL

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag is open. We’re fielding questions off the top today about Trae Taylor, the incoming Millard South and Nebraska-committed quarterback. Will we ever know how much NIL money has been devoted to steer his career toward the state of Nebraska? Probably not. And here’s why the details don’t actually matter.

Is Nebraska set to face embarrassment on the recruiting trail as the late signing period ends? Are there any players remaining in the transfer portal who could land with the Huskers before the 2026 season? We hear from a member of our audience who can explain Nebraska’s failure to break out as a success story in three years under Matt Rhule. And in the world of basketball, what’s next for Nebraska as it barrels toward a big meeting against Illinois on Sunday?

Big 10 SQUAD - Big 10 Schedule has been REVEALED | Did Nebraska get a FAVORABLE schedule?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 22:00:00 +0000

Ohio State faces a brutal Big Ten gauntlet—at Texas, USC, Oregon, and Michigan. Is Ryan Day's squad ready for the most challenging schedule in college football? Spencer McLaughlin, Jay Stevens, and guests dissect the Buckeyes’ road to contention, questioning if a 10-2 finish is the best a championship-caliber team can manage. The discussion spotlights Arthur Smith’s OC hire, Indiana’s rising threat, and how top programs are tested in make-or-break matchups. Oregon and Washington’s transition into Big Ten play sparks debate about conference scheduling and its impact on playoff hopes. Why did Oregon get hit so hard with consecutive games against Ohio State, Michigan, and Washington? The Squad critiques non-conference scheduling, highlights the implications for team visibility, and jokes about Citadel’s mascot in a lighter moment. Big Ten fans get sharp analysis on November’s playoff-shaping clashes and the strategic future of powerhouse programs.

Want to win big at football and basketball in college sports today? It’s not easy

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

In today’s world of college sports, it is easier than ever to throw money at a college football program or a college basketball program. What about both? That’s tricky, especially if you’re at a place like Nebraska (and most schools) with a finite amount of resources to fund rosters. Connor and Mitch are here to look at the challenges that Nebraska faces – in both sports – after this breakout season on the basketball court.

We’re also looking back at Tuesday night in Ann Arbor at the enduring takeaways from the Huskers’ first loss of this season. There’s now external pressure on Nebraska to avoid a losing streak as No. 9 Illinois visits Pinnacle Bank Arena on Sunday. And we assess the ranking of all 81 Big Ten regular-season football games put forth by Scott Dochterman of The Athletic. Where did the Nebraska games land?

SO CLOSE: Nebraska falls short at Michigan. And… a football schedule

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Nebraska basketball nearly did it on Tuesday night. The Huskers led throughout at No. 3 Michigan but fell late, 75-72. Fifth-ranked Nebraska, in losing its first basketball game of the season, failed to hit shots late. Its lack of depth, without Rienk Mast and Braden Frager, took a toll. But Fred Hoiberg’s team made a statement that it belongs among the elite teams nationally. Nebraska will be stronger because of that performance in Ann Arbor.

Also, the Big Ten finally released its schedule for conference football games in 2026. Nebraska faces a gauntlet, with three College Football Playoff teams from 2025. We already knew that, but now we know the order of games. It includes Indiana and Oregon on back-to-back weeks in October and Ohio State in Lincoln right before a short Thanksgiving week. Connor and Mitch break it all down. Join us.

Nebraska basketball excitement hits fever pitch -- and it's only going up from here

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

It’s Nebraska basketball game day, and we’re going all in on Husker hoops talk ahead of a top-five matchup in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Fifth-ranked Nebraska visits No. 3 Michigan with Big Ten title implications and talk of a No. 1 seed in the air. What’s the update on Nebraska freshman Braden Frager? Does this week rank as the biggest ever for Nebraska basketball? What must the Huskers get from Rienk Mast to stay competitive against the Wolverines?

In the football world, there’s a big recruiting weekend ahead for Matt Rhule’s program. Nebraska is chasing a five-star tight end from Louisiana – and bringing its chief recruiter from the 2027 class into Lincoln and Omaha this weekend to see future teammates.

We’re back on this basketball Monday. Nebraska is expected to move into the top five of the Associated Press poll and play a top-five matchup on Tuesday at Michigan. The Huskers are 20-0 after winning at Minnesota. We’re going to spend time on Nebraska hoops.

First, though, an interesting story unfolded late last week in college football that involved tampering, Clemson, Ole Miss and the wild world of NIL and the transfer portal. Yes, it impacts Nebraska indirectly. But how? We discuss. Also, Matt Rhule offered a scholarship to a quarterback in the 2027 class. And it was historic. Why? Join us.

Nebraska QB commit Trae Taylor, coming to a high school football stadium near you

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 17:35:00 +0000

We’re back on this Thursday afternoon with updates on all things Nebraska. Trae Taylor, still months from signing with the Huskers, is planning his senior season of football in Omaha. Yes, the highly rated 2027 QB is moving from Chicago to live in Lincoln and attend Millard South High School for his final semester. Taylor wants a jump on his time in college. And he’s not alone. Connor and Mitch examine the situation.

Also, we’re discussing Nebraska basketball, Braden Frager and the ankle injury with widespread implications.

What Indiana’s national championship means for Nebraska – in football and basketball?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

This week delivered another national championship in football to the Big Ten. But as the Indiana Hoosiers raised the CFP trophy Monday night, a new message resonated. This was not the same as last year or the year before, when blue bloods Michigan and Ohio State won the crowns. College sports has been forever changed by a new set of guidelines. What once took 20 years to accomplish can be done in two.

What’s the takeaway for Nebraska? There are lessons to be learned from Curt Cignetti’s rise with IU. Lessons for Nebraska football, which is trying to escape the muck that it created, and lessons for Nebraska basketball. In fact, we see some of Indiana football in Fred Hoiberg’s Huskers during this dream season.

Also, Mike Ekeler is leaving Nebraska for USC. It’s all but official now. Why? And what’s at stake next year with the special teams? Join us.

Yes, Nebraska football stumbled in 2025. But is the offseason negativity justified?

The college football offseason is officially here. In the wake of the College Football Playoff national championship on Monday, we’re stepping back to again look at the work that Nebraska accomplished this month in the transfer portal. But not in adding from the portal. How did the Huskers fare in preventing their own talent from jumping in? For the most part, very well.

Ultimately, the key players who chose to stay in Lincoln will impact the 2026 team as much or more than the group that transferred to Nebraska. But talk publicly continues to focus on the misses. Is it just a part of the deal now for Matt Rhule, who’s 19-19 in three seasons? We’re talking more Nebraska basketball after the Huskers checked in at No. 7 in the latest AP poll. And how many coaches is too many for Rob Aurich on the defensive side in his first season at Nebraska? Join us.

Nebraska football: Take a breath, the portal is closed

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

We’re back from another weekend. The transfer portal is closed. Nebraska missed a few targets at defensive line late in portal season. How much of a concern is this? Did the Huskers improve enough up front on defense? Are we looking past the pieces who return for the Huskers?

The Mike Ekeler saga continues. Why did Matt Rhule sound off about the special teams coordinator, who’s apparently on his way out to USC, Friday on the Huskers Radio Network? Connor and Mitch have thoughts. Also, Nebraska is not adding a running back via the portal.

Nebraska basketball is 18-0. The dream season gained steam with a road win against Northwestern. Fred Hoiberg’s team is set to achieve the highest ranking in program history on Monday. And finally, the Huskers are adding women’s flag football as an NCAA-sanctioned sport. We discuss this move. Join us on a national championship Monday.

Nebraska football mailbag: What is the right amount of patience for Matt Rhule?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag this week starts with a few sobering stats about the success of Nebraska football during this decade. You all knew about the Huskers’ lack of recent success. It leads to a discussion, though, about the patience that Troy Dannen should or should not afford to Matt Rhule. How might the success after patience with Fred Hoiberg impact the approach with football? We have thoughts.

What if the transfer portal existed in the 1990s? Would Nebraska have won more games – or fewer? Might Nebraska honor its 1997 national champion, a team that included Dominic Raiola, when Dylan Raiola and Oregon visit Lincoln in 2027? Can Hoiberg retain his talent and better acquire players because of all the winning on the court this season? And now that the Raiolas have departed Nebraska, can we spill on what happened last year after the Wisconsin game with Donovan and Luke Fickell? Join us.

Big 10 SQUAD - Will Indiana DEFEAT Miami in the National Championship?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 22:00:00 +0000

Will Indiana secure a historic third straight Big Ten national championship, or can Miami pull off an upset at home? The panel breaks down the surprising Indiana vs. Miami title matchup, spotlighting Fernando Mendoza’s efficiency, Miami’s home-field advantage, and the impact of dynamic stars like Elijah Surratt. The crew debates why traditional powerhouses like Oregon, USC, and UCLA are chasing the Hoosiers, and what it will take for Miami—led by Carson Beck—to topple Indiana’s disciplined defense. West Coast transfer portal winners and the “James Madison model” are in the spotlight, with UCLA’s aggressive rebuild and USC’s strategic portal moves scrutinized. Insights on Dante Moore’s development, key prop bets from FanDuel, and bold predictions for the Big Ten’s hottest teams set the stage for an unmissable showdown. Can UCLA or USC reclaim national prominence, or will Indiana’s blue-collar approach keep them on top?

Nebraska football: How did Anthony Colandrea win over Matt Rhule?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Nebraska landed its third quarterback – fourth actually, though only three will join the Huskers this year – of the past week and a half on Wednesday. It’s Tanner Vibabul, an addition to the 2026 recruiting class out of Las Vegas. He’s a dual threat. He’s a bit under the radar. And he adds depth to a made over position group.

Matt Rhule, in an interview with Zach Gelb, shared information on the Huskers’ attempt to retain Mike Ekeler as special teams coordinator. But if Ekeler chooses to leave, presumably for USC, Rhule’s got a plan for the Huskers’ special teams. The head coach talked, too, about Indiana and about Anthony Colandrea, the new QB in town who won over Rhule in an interesting way during Colandrea’s visit to Lincoln last week. Join us for this Thursday podcast.

Has Nebraska done everything it needed and more with its O-line portal moves?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 17:40:00 +0000

We’re back with talk about the Nebraska offensive line now that LSU transfer Paul Mubenga is in the bag via the portal. Nebraska has added three starting-caliber O-linemen in the past 10 days. Is the group up front under Geep Wade now set up for success in 2026? Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves, but the Huskers appear to have done well in filling their needs.

Nebraska basketball was back on the court Tuesday night. It demolished Oregon, producing the largest margin of victory in a Big Ten game ever for the Huskers. What’s next? Expect the unexpected with this team, which continues to raise the bar. And is Matt Rhule in danger of losing his special teams coordinator, Mike Ekeler, who has been connected to an opening on Lincoln Riley’s staff at USC? If so, it’s a red flag. Join us on this Wednesday.

Another QB? Clarity at D-line? Nebraska football is ALL IN on the portal reload

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

What a three-day stretch for Nebraska. The Huskers added pieces at quarterback, defensive line, wide receiver, the secondary and on special teams since we last got together. Danny Kaelin is back. Matt Rhule landed a juco All-American at defensive tackle – and perhaps a defensive line coach in the same stretch. And two players on defense returned to the Huskers from the portal.

Will the final few days of activity produce more big news for the Huskers? Maybe a running back? And what will the Nebraska men’s basketball team do for an encore after it rallied from 16 down in the second half to win at Indiana on Saturday. The Huskers are 16-0. We’re here to break down all of the action in both sports. And Connor has a big announcement. Join us on this Monday.

The Friday mailbag is open. But first, let’s review the latest in the transfer portal.

Nebraska football in the portal: One BIG need for the Huskers that flew under the radar

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 8 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

A quieter day in the transfer portal for Nebraska? We didn’t know that was possible in this first week of January. But Wednesday came and went without the fireworks that we saw on Monday and Tuesday. Nebraska has secured seven players so far via free agency. We take stock and consider what singular area of the team in 2026 has already received the biggest upgrade.

Speaking of quiet, Nebraska has not added any pieces to its defensive line. The Huskers, still without a D-line coach, did offer a juco prospect on Wednesday from Iowa Western. What’s happening in the trenches on defense with Rob Aurich’s unit? And where do the Huskers need to find themselves in eight days, when the portal closes? We’re also circling back to discuss QB signee Anthony Colandrea. Join us on this Thursday.

A better fit? Nebraska football lands QB Anthony Colandrea on a wild portal Tuesday

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 7 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Nebraska football went 24 hours without a quarterback in its 2026 portal class. And then, boom, Anthony Colandrea, formerly of Virginia and UNLV, signed with the Huskers on Tuesday. So the drama around the defection of Kenny Minchey took one day of our time. And it’s on to this three-year starter at the FBS level. Is Colandrea perhaps a better fit for what the Huskers want – and need – at quarterback in 2026?

How is the match with Dana Holgorsen? What does it mean for TJ Lateef? Is there still a competition scheduled in the spring? Connor and Mitch are here with answers in the immediate aftermath of the news. Also, we’re discussing three other portal adds for Nebraska from earlier on Tuesday. Join us.

PORTAL SHOCKER: QB Kenny Minchey dumps Nebraska. What now for the Huskers?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 6 Jan 2026 14:35:00 +0000

So much for the Kenny Minchey era of Nebraska football. The former Notre Dame quarterback left the Huskers at the altar on Monday. Minchey, who committed to Nebraska on Sunday, signed just 24 hours later with Kentucky. Yes, we’ve got drama here in the transfer portal season. What else would you expect? Nebraska is back in the market for a QB. Where will it look, and how much more will it have to pay?

Elsewhere, linebacker Owen Chambliss is in for Nebraska as a transfer from San Diego State. So is former Iowa State offensive guard Brendan Black. Linebacker Willis McGahee IV is leaving Lincoln. And 10th-ranked Nebraska improved to 15-0 on the basketball court Monday night with a 72-69 win at Ohio State. This story is getting more wild by the day – and with each win for Fred Hoiberg’s team. Join us as we discuss it all.

Getting to know Kenny Minchey, Nebraska football’s first portal addition of 2026

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 5 Jan 2026 01:45:00 +0000

Transfer portal activity is officially underway at Nebraska, and the Huskers added a big piece on Sunday. Quarterback Kenny Minchey is in from Notre Dame. Connor and Mitch are here to decipher this signing for the Huskers. What does it mean for TJ Lateef and the Nebraska QB picture? Who is Minchey, and what and what is he bringing to Lincoln?

Also, players continue to exit Nebraska. The big departure on Sunday was Keona Davis, the two-year defensive lineman who could make the Huskers wish by the time his college days are done that they had found a way to use him more effectively. We’re also taking a look at the changing roster numbers for Nebraska. How much room exists to add pieces over the next two weeks. Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: Why are all the fans so mad?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 3 Jan 2026 18:10:00 +0000

It’s a special Saturday mailbag. We’ve got a full first segment of talk about that Nebraska basketball victory against No. 9 Michigan State on Friday night. The Huskers are 14-0 and living large. Even Tom Izzo loves it. Portal season has arrived. Is Matt Rhule back from Las Vegas yet?

The Huskers are trending to sign QB Kenny Minchey, the backup at Notre Dame in 2025 who was recruited by Dana Holgorsen out of high school in Tennessee and appears to fit the style of offense that the Huskers want to run this year. One listener asks: Why are fans so unreasonable and angry? Does Nebraska need dudes or development? Lots of psycho-analysis on the state of Nebraska football. Connor and Mitch try to offer help. Enjoy your weekend. We’re back on Monday.

REACTION: Why does Nebraska football feel that it needs gimmicks to win?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 1 Jan 2026 15:15:00 +0000

Happy New Year from Locked on Nebraska. Connor and Mitch are here on this New Year’s Day to assess the damage after Nebraska lost, 44-22, to Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl on Wednesday afternoon. It was a rough afternoon for the Huskers. They did not adjust. They made Utah quarterback Devon Dampier look like Josh Allen. And they are left to enter 2026 feeling sorrowful. But there is always hope.

We get into the ugly details of this game and preview what’s next for Nebraska as January begins. Also, looking back, why the backwards hat? Did Matt Rhule need to go in that direction in December? Did it do something to help? And if so, does that to bigger questions? Lots to analyze and digest as the calendar turns. Join us.

Nebraska-Utah crossover: Final thoughts before the Las Vegas Bowl

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The final game day of the 2025 college football season is here. With Nebraska and Utah set to clash on New Year's Eve, Locked On Nebraska co-host Mitch Sherman joins JT Wistrcill, host of Locked On Utes, to discuss the Las Vegas Bowl. Can Nebraska snap its streak of misery against ranked teams? Or will the Utes' attack prove too strong for a defense that has struggled against the run this season.

The Huskers are without two of their top defenders in addition to All-America running back Emmett Johnson. But Utah also enters this game at less than full strength. Mitch and JT discuss the mindsets of both teams after their tumultuous months of December during bowl. Join us before kickoff.

Nebraska football: Geep Wade has big plans for the Huskers’ O-line

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The final hours of the football season for Nebraska are here. In Las Vegas on Monday, we heard from the Huskers’ three coordinators this month – Dana Holgorsen, Phil Snow and Mike Ekeler – and the new offensive line coach, Geep Wade. Wade hit the ground running. He coached the linemen through bowl prep. He came to Nebraska with a vision for the O-line, and he’s got plans for the Huskers in 2026.

Holgorsen is focused on making the best of this season-ending game with freshman QB TJ Lateef. But the portal is looming. What does the OC think about the days ahead? And what are the keys to victory for Nebraska against Utah? We’re making picks for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Join us.

Viva Las Vegas: Nebraska prepares to bowl, with an eye on bigger prizes

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The Nebraska football team has hit the ground running in Las Vegas. And soaring through the air – as coach Matt Rhule displayed in riding the zip line above Fremont Street. Rhule and the Huskers are deep into practice for the Las Vegas Bowl, which kicks off on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.

We’re talking today about the intrigue around this game for the Huskers against Utah. Is it merely an epilogue? The bigger news of this week awaits on Friday and into the weekend, when the transfer portal opens. We’ve got a few thoughts. But on this Monday, our attention is still diverted somewhat to Las Vegas, where the Huskers have enjoyed the services of an In-N Out food truck. Join us as we set the table for an eventful week ahead.

Nebraska football mailbag: Who can the Huskers NOT afford to lose in the portal?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 14:35:00 +0000

It’s a post-Christmas mailbag. We hope you’ve experienced an overload of joy in recent days. Here, we’re jumping back into the grind of questions as the realities of January loom. The transfer portal opening is near. Our listeners want to know things. Why are we assuming that any guarantees exist for Matt Rhule and the Huskers at quarterback?

Who can the Huskers least afford to lose? Are we overlooking an available QB with local connections? Did Heinrich Haarberg miss an opportunity over the past two seasons? One listener comes with a theory that Dylan Raiola is to Rhule as Bryce McGowens was to Fred Hoiberg. Connor and Mitch weigh in. Join us on this still-festive Friday.

What MUST happen – and fast – for Nebraska to stabilize its QB situation?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 14:30:00 +0000

Another quarterback is set to enter the transfer portal at Nebraska. We never got to know Marcos Davila, but he’s heading back out. It’s not a weighty departure, but the situation in Lincoln lacks stability. Just one quarterback on scholarship is set to return. That is, of course, TJ Lateef, the true freshman who’s fighting through a hamstring injury to prep for the Dec. 31 Las Vegas Bowl.

How many are the Huskers looking to add in December? Who might they consider? What’s the best approach to the portal for the Huskers? Do they go young, old or both? Is Lateef the favorite to retain the starting spot in 2026? Connor and Mitch address a laundry list of questions. And we’re talking about Nebraska’s other portal declarations from this week. Join us.

A Nebraska football reset? ‘I don’t know why anyone would say that’

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 14:30:00 +0000

We’re back on this Monday with reaction to all that Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule had to say to the media on Friday in Lincoln. There was a lot to digest. Rhule is just “Matt” during bowl practices with the defensive linemen. He’s getting his hand dirty, re-living his days as a position coach. The players enjoy “Matt. “And Rhule wants to keep this as a part of his coaching plan.

Also, Rhule bristled at the suggestion that Nebraska is in the midst of a reset. He’s just tweaking things, Rhule said. Was Nebraska dead for 10 years before Rhule arrived? The coach, at the end of his third season, has changed his tune in talking to the public about what he inherited here. In the end, these are all just words. Nebraska needs to win more football games. We discuss it all at the start of a holiday week. Join us.

Holiday shopping with Nebraska football: Go big at QB or all in on the beef?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

The Nebraska football mailbag is open on this Friday. Thanks to everyone for the questions. We’ve got an international flavor from listeners and viewers, starting with a question about the quarterback situation for the bowl game: Will TJ Lateef be ready to go and healthy? We’re talking plenty about the Huskers’ portal strategy at QB. Should it matter in this decision that Trae Taylor is on his way to Lincoln next year at this time?

Why not stick the transfer portal in late February? Will the Huskers cover the big spread in Vegas? And we’ve got basketball questions. Nebraska was patient with Fred Hoiberg – and it paid off. Does that relate to football? Also, who is the best player on the basketball roster? And who’s the most important? Join us for all of that and more.

Big 10 SQUAD - How Michigan's Coaching Search Affects Nebraska Cornhuskers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Michigan faces a critical coaching crossroads as Kaylin DeBoer and Kenny Dillingham emerge as frontrunners for the Wolverines’ head football coach position. Can Michigan lure DeBoer away from Alabama and shake up the Big Ten power dynamics? Conference rivals weigh in, speculating on the impact of either hire and the potential fallout if both candidates turn down the offer.

Heisman buzz dominates with Fernando Mendoza’s clutch quarterback play leading Indiana to unprecedented heights, fueling debate over voting consistency and the legendary nature of his win. The transfer portal heats up as Bryce Underwood’s status sparks rumors, Iowa’s quarterback plans face uncertainty, and Indiana’s recruiting power surges. From bold quarterback predictions to the shortcomings of the Heisman Trophy ceremony, the Big Ten squad tackles hot topics, locker-room drama, and the year’s most intriguing “what ifs.”

The ONE position for Nebraska football that a big bowl game showing would matter in 2026

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

It’s Thursday, less than two weeks before the Las Vegas Bowl, and we’re actually talking in this episode about the Nebraska football postseason. There’s one position on this team at which a big showing would matter for the Huskers as they head into 2026. What is it? Jump in today to find out.

Also, did Nebraska lose its edge late in the 2025 season. Connor and Mitch are on the same page in answering that one. Hint: Yes, it did. So what needs to happen to get it back. And is Phil Snow playing an important role this month? Matt Rhule discussed the addition of four new coaches. Perhaps Rob Aurich is more of a fit with Snow than Nebraska had this year in John Butler. Finally, brace yourself for more portal entries in Lincoln. They’re coming.

Nebraska football: What if… Dylan Raiola had never flipped to the Huskers?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and several players bid farewell on a public stage Tuesday to quarterback Dylan Raiola, who’s off to enter the transfer portal next month. There’s no panic in Lincoln, a clear reminder that the business side of college football is here to stay – and that players are ready for the consequences of an altered landscape.

Holgorsen’s job is not done in Lincoln, he said. The OC discussed a hypothetical: What if Raiola had suffered an injury against USC? We counter with another: What if he hadn’t flipped from Georgia two years ago? What paths might Nebraska and Raiola have traveled in these 24 months? Also, we talk offensive line with Tyler Knaak, an intriguing figure this month as a Utah transfer and likely starter on the line to enter 2026. Join us.

Dylan Raiola is leaving Nebraska. Where do the Huskers go from here?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The biggest Nebraska news of December dropped on Monday, with word that quarterback Dylan Raiola is set to enter the transfer portal. We’re here to break it all down. How much did Nebraska get out of Raiola in his two years? How difficult is the task to replace him? Raiola was the face of the program in Lincoln. And Nebraska might just be better off without such a spotlight on its QB.

Of course, that is, if the Huskers can emerge from next month with the QB position in good shape. Is TJ Lateef the answer? Matt Rhule will almost certainly go to the transfer portal to look for another QB. But are they in search of a $3 million QB or a $1 million QB? Who’s out there and available right now? Connor and Mitch go through all the options and topics in this Raiola conversation. Join us.

Nebraska football’s postseason reboot, basketball euphoria and volleyball anguish

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

We’ve got a week of Nebraska football ahead that features the heaviest dose of bowl prep yet and the possibility of coaching announcements. And what a weekend it was in Nebraska sports. Nebraska basketball pulled off an upset at No. 13 Illinois as Jamarques Lawrence delivered the dagger. And Nebraska volleyball went down against Texas A&M in shocking fashion at home.

Phil Snow, the Huskers’ associate head coach, had eye-opening things to say on Friday about the defense as he settled into a very temporary role as coordinator for the Las Vegas Bowl matchup against Utah. What do we make of a defense that wasn’t giving the maximum effort and … didn’t always know the play calls? Connor and Mitch are here with thoughts on that – and all that happened over the past few days in Nebraska athletics. Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: Most pressing portal priorities?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 15:05:00 +0000

The Nebraska football mailbag is open. It’s time to take your questions. Who’s noticed that the majority of coaches that Matt Rhule has fired came to Lincoln from the NFL? Is that something? Is the coaching upheaval after this season with the Huskers reminiscent of 2003? What are the Huskers’ priorities in the transfer portal? How might Rob Aurich fit under the Nebraska spotlight?

We’re talking a little basketball before Fred Hoiberg’s team visits Illinois on Saturday. How many miles does Sam Hoiberg sprint in an average game? Who’s got the best signature radio call among the voices of Nebraska sports? Join us for all of the Friday fun.

Nebraska basketball is LEGIT at 10-0 and a real threat in the Big Ten

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

We’re shifting gears – for a few minutes – to talk basketball. Did you see what happened on Wednesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena? Fred Hoiberg’s Nebraska men crushed Wisconsin 90-60 to improve to 10-0. So today in college hoops, Nebraska and Duke are 10-0. That’s it. What is happening? Connor and Mitch are talking about Rienk Mast, Berke Buyuktencel and Braden Frager.

Also on Wednesday, Michigan fired football coach Sherrone Moore for cause. This story is extremely sad. And it lays waste to all of the other wild happenings of the coaching carousel in 2025. How has it already impacted Nebraska? We’ll tell you. Finally, Matt Rhule has thoughts on all of the December craziness in his sport. The college football calendar needs an overhaul. We agree. Well, at least one of us does. Join us.

Nebraska football: What’s REALLY going on with QB Dylan Raiola?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

More coaches were on the way in and on the way out early this week in the world of Nebraska football. Matt Rhule brought some news with him to a media session on Tuesday. Rhule dismissed Terry Bradden, making it three coaches fired after the Huskers’ 7-5 season. One of them, Donovan Raiola, as you know, is the uncle of quarterback Dylan Raiola.

Rhule fielded a question about the younger Raiola. What’s his future with the Huskers? It remains unclear. What’s really going on there? Connor and Mitch offer their views. Rhule described the interview process with incoming defensive coordinator Rob Aurich. They spent some time watching basketball on Saturday. Also, what was it about Aurich that stood out to Rhule? And there’s a big game on tap Wednesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Join us.

Nebraska football: A future without Emmett Johnson means what?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 9 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

It’s Day 2 in our adjustment to changes on the Nebraska football coaching staff. Offensive line coach Geep Wade and defensive coordinator Rob Aurich are in. And as we learned late last week, Emmett Johnson is out. We’re taking a few minutes in this episode to appreciate Johnson’s work with the Huskers in 2025. It will be long remembered. But did it rank among the best seasons ever by a Nebraska running back?

On the subject of Matt Rhule’s coaching moves, how many cooks in the defensive kitchen are too many? And is the head coach set to get more involved in the defense – again – in 2026, with a young coordinator who’s coming from the G5 level? We’ve also got thoughts on the timing of Nebraska’s two coaching departures last week. Not all decisions are guided by the same principles. Join us as we discuss the latest with the Huskers.

Nebraska football: A WILD weekend for the Huskers, who add a DC and fire Donovan Raiola

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 8 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

What a weekend it was in college football – and for Nebraska, which experienced none of the drama of the top programs who battled for conference titles and CFP spots. The Huskers, though, hired a defensive coordinator in Rob Aurich. They fired an offensive line coach in Donovan Raiola. And they hired Raiola’s replacement, Geep Wade.

Since we last talked on Friday, running back Emmett Johnson departed early for the NFL. And the Huskers got a daunting bowl assignment. Connor and Mitch are here to assess all of it and ask this question about the firing of Raiola: What does it mean for his nephew, Dylan Raiola. Also, Nebraska basketball drilled Creighton, and Nebraska volleyball advanced to the Sweet 16. Join us as we cover a lot of ground.

Nebraska football mailbag: Toxic? What or who was Matt Rhule talking about?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 5 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The Nebraska football mailbag is open. Connor and Mitch are here, fielding questions from you. Was John Butler set up to succeed in Lincoln? What did Matt Rhule mean when he talked about a toxic element around the Huskers? Who would you bring back as an assistant coach from the past 15 years? Is the punting job open for competition?

We’ve got a new graphic, courtesy of our friend Nathan in Kansas. One of our hosts believes more than the other that Big Ten experience is essential for the next DC at Nebraska. Is Penn State finally about to hire a coach? And if it gets Matt Campbell, what would that mean for the Big Ten? We’re talking Nebraska basketball and Iowa football. Will the Hawkeyes follow a path similar to Nebraska when Kirk Ferentz retires? If he ever retires. Join us for Friday fun.

What’s the one thing a Nebraska football assistant CANNOT say to Matt Rhule?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 4 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Signing day took a backseat on Wednesday in Matt Rhule’s latest press conference at Nebraska. The coach announced a 10-player class of recruits. The Huskers were selective. They hit important areas. But other topics took precedence. What’s happening with the defensive coordinator position in the wake of Rhule’s decision to fire John Butler?

Does scheme matter in Rhule’s process to hire the next DC? Why did the coach speak so emphatically about his refusal to hear from his assistants that “the players aren’t good enough.” As usual in this discussion, context is important. We’re also talking about Rhule’s vision for Dylan Raiola in the months ahead. And we make our picks on the two biggest games in college football this weekend. Join us.

Nebraska football on signing day: What’s the next shoe to drop?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 3 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

It’s signing day across college football. And at Nebraska, a small class of just 10 signees – at the moment of our episode release – is indicative of a couple things. The Huskers have a young team, and coach Matt Rhule doesn’t want them to get all that much younger. And Nebraska is primed for a big haul in the transfer portal next month.

Meanwhile, in the aftermath of John Butler’s firing as defensive coordinator, what will be the next shoe to drop in Lincoln? Will the Huskers hire a DC in a hurry? More staff change? Or will transfer portal news shake the ground at Memorial Stadium? Connor and Mitch revisit the DEFCON level conversation after recent developments on and off the field.

And we’re taking a spin around the sport – from Happy Valley, where things are off the rails a bit to the latest with the CFP bracket.

Nebraska football: Where should Matt Rhule look for a DC to replace the fired John Butler?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 13:30:00 +0000

One Monday into the offseason, Nebraska is without a defensive coordinator. Matt Rhule fired John Butler as the head coach’s first act of business in bowl season. Was Butler a scapegoat? Do problems exist outside of his control that ultimately contributed to his undoing with the Huskers? Connor and Mitch are here to provide answers on the DC situation.

Rhule is now in the market for a huge hire. He needs to find a coordinator equipped on Day 1 to build and manage a defense that can win in November in the Big Ten. Where might Rhule look – and at whom? We have some ideas. The firing of Butler came together fast. But this is the changed reality of college football. Get used to it. There is more fallout to come after a 7-5 season at Nebraska. Join us on this Tuesday as we discuss it all.

For Nebraska football, there’s no holding back in this month of December

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the offseason. Nebraska football has been here before, in this odd space between this year and next year. But it’s different in December 2025, because the Huskers have rarely had as much riding on the decisions that are about to be made. Are changes looming on the defensive side of the ball? What will happen next with QB Dylan Raiola and running back Emmett Johnson? Keep your eyes open. Things are bound to happen fast.

We also look around the college football landscape. There’s a lot happening. Lane Kiffin had everyone on the edge of their seats through the Thanksgiving weekend. Michigan State made a change. A familiar face is perhaps returning to the Big Ten. And we’re talking Nebraska volleyball after the top-ranked Huskers learned of their path to a national championship this month, with the release of the NCAA tournament bracket on Sunday. Join us.

REACTION: Nebraska football UNRAVELS yet again on Black Friday

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 16:00:00 +0000

We’ve reached the end of the regular season. And Nebraska football is out of gas. The Huskers ran on empty for the final 2 ½ quarters on Friday in losing 40-16 at Memorial Stadium against Iowa. It was the Hawkeyes’ seventh consecutive win in Lincoln, their 10th in 11 games against the Huskers and the largest margin in this series since 2017.

Why did Nebraska fail to put up a four-quarter fight against its rival? What’s wrong with the line-of-scrimmage play? Connor and Mitch are here with thoughts on Nebraska’s lack of toughness. We’re talking, too, about Emmett Johnson’s big day – and his future. And what awaits in December for Matt Rhule’s program? Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: Is a QB shuffle underway in Lincoln?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 14:10:00 +0000

Happy Thanksgiving! The Nebraska football mailbag is open. We’re here on this holiday to take your questions about food, the Huskers’ seat at the dinner table and the Nebraska quarterback picture. Is it shifting already, with the Black Friday game still to be played? Connor and Mitch have thoughts on Dylan Raiola.

Is Matt Rhule too nice? When might Nebraska stage another Volleyball Day at Memorial Stadium? Are the Huskers’ defensive problems against the rush more related to coaching or players? And if it’s a lack of good players, isn’t that on the coaches? In the portal era, should programs stop paying huge salaries to coaches? Answers to all of those are predictions on Iowa-Nebraska. Join us.

Nebraska-Iowa crossover: Can the Huskers avoid more heartbreak?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Trent Condon of Locked On Hawkeyes joins the show on this Wednesday for a conversation about the Black Friday matchup at Memorial Stadium. Mitch and Trent trade analysis on the storylines and strengths for Iowa and Nebraska. The Hawkeyes are aiming to extend the Huskers’ misery in this series with an 10th win in 11 games?

Iowa looks different this year in the run game. The Hawkeyes have improved defensively since Week 1. Special teams remain a key on Friday. Trent explains. For Nebraska, it’s about creating a comfortable situation for freshman QB TJ Lateef. What’s new with the Huskers’ QB picture.

We’re talking about the weather forecast and the game forecast and how this rivalry has changed in recent years. Join us for a pre-Thanksgiving breakdown.

Bad blood? The next chapter awaits in Iowa-Nebraska football on Black Friday

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 14:30:00 +0000

Iowa week is flying by. We’re already halfway through the leadup to the latest episode in the dramatic series that involves Nebraska football and its rival to the east, Iowa. The Hawkeyes got under the Huskers’ skin a year ago in Iowa City. They’ve been beating Nebraska in every opportunity at Memorial Stadium for more than a decade. What does Matt Rhule think of it all?

We heard from the Nebraska coach on Monday. He offered a view on the formula that the Hawkeyes have used successfully to deliver heartbreak. Rhule discussed the stakes for Huskers on Friday. Also, it’s only Tuesday, and it’s already been an interesting week for our hosts. Connor shares his experience from the road while traveling for basketball work. And Mitch dipped his toe into the world of social media trolling with a take on volleyball fans. Join us.

Is it time for Nebraska football to take drastic action to fix its defensive line?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Happy Thanksgiving week. Connor is back with Mitch for this Monday episode. It’s Iowa week. Nebraska is fast moving on from that debacle on Saturday night at Penn State. How much was the performance in a 37-10 loss cause for major concern? And how much of it was due to the Nittany Lions finding themselves at the worst time possible for Nebraska?

We’re talking about the Nebraska defensive line. Have the Huskers progressed this season under first-year assistant coach Terry Bradden? Does Matt Rhule need to get Bradden some help – not just in the area of personnel but also in coaching the group up front? What DEFCON level has Nebraska reached, and where might it go this week? And we finish with the latest from the worlds of Nebraska volleyball and men’s basketball – both of which are undefeated and riding high after they collected trophies last week. Join us.

REACTION: Nebraska football falls flat at Penn State. Can the Huskers rebound?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 04:15:00 +0000

We saw some of this coming. We knew the matchup of Penn State’s running game against the Nebraska defense was going to present a problem. But like that? The Huskers allowed Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton to enter the the Penn State record books as the senior backs combined for 204 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in a 37-10 win for the Nittany Lions.

What does this mean for Nebraska and its porous run defense as the Huskers try to bounce back in a hurry to face Iowa on Friday? What does this game do for TJ Lateef, the freshman QB who performed well – when he had time to operate? Mitch is here late on this Saturday to offer some answers and react to the high moment of Penn State’s season. Was it the low moment for Nebraska? Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: Are we overthinking the Dayton Raiola decommitment?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag is here. Connor and Mitch are reunited on the pod. And we’re taking questions on the decommitment of Dayton Raiola. Is there more happening behind the scenes? Our listeners have questions about Penn State. Are the Nittany Lions interested in playing Nebraska? We take a spin back to 1982. What would have happened if the correct call was made at the end of that game 43 years ago between Penn State and Nebraska?

Do Matt Rhule and Nebraska have a policy on allowing players back who defected as recruits or entered the portal? If Nebraska finishes the regular season at 7-5, is it a success? And we’re making picks for Saturday night in State College. Join us.

For Nebraska QB TJ Lateef, the stage is getting bigger. Is he ready?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Making our way through Penn State week at Nebraska. We heard Tuesday from coordinators Dana Holgorsen and John Butler in addition to several Huskers. A chunk of the conversation involved Nebraska’s freshman quarterback, TJ Lateef, who’s set to make his second start in place of injured Dylan Raiola Saturday night in Happy Valley. Is Lateef ready for this challenge? Holgorsen believes in his guy.

What is Butler’s mindset about slowing the Penn State offense? He’s going to scheme whatever is needed, the coordinator said – even if he’s gotta come on the field himself – to slow down Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton. We also heard from Nebraska’s standout running back, Emmett Johnson. His run towards postseason recognition rates as an important step for the Huskers. And Johnson’s teammates are excited to see his ascension.

Nebraska football: The key for the Huskers to upset Penn State is what?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 15:45:00 +0000

Plenty of uncertainty surrounds Nebraska’s trip to Penn State this week. Both teams have questions at quarterback. The Penn State coaching situation remains in flux. But here’s what we know: The Nittany Lions will make Nebraska show that it can stop the run. And if the Huskers can’t, they’ll get a heavy dose all night of Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen.

Matt Rhule offered his thoughts Monday on the Penn State rushing attack. Rhule also discussed his first trip with Nebraska to coach at his alma mater. Considering the events of October – and what’s happening elsewhere nationally around the coaching carousel – this week presents a drama-free situation for Rhule and Nebraska. And we hear from the Nebraska coach on the schedule ahead for the Huskers. Is it a problem? Join us on this Tuesday.

No excuses for Nebraska football in the final stretch against Penn State, Iowa

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Say goodbye to the bye week. It’s time for Nebraska-Penn State week and the start of a furious final, two-game stretch for the Huskers. Will they finish the regular season with seven wins, eight or nine? We’re about to find out. In between these two games, the Huskers will get short rest – thanks to a 6 p.m. kickoff Saturday at Beaver Stadium, an early morning of travel home and a short week ahead of the Hawkeyes’ visit on Friday. It’s a real concern. But Nebraska can’t let it provide an excuse.

The Nebraska basketball team beat Oklahoma 105-99 Saturday night in Sioux Falls. It was electric. Kurt from Wahoo got tossed. We discuss the big victory for Fred Hoiberg’s team. Nebraska volleyball dropped a set on the road in California but remained unbeaten after playing in front of two more record-setting crowds. And we take a spin around the Big Ten to review the weekend of football. Join us.

How did Nebraska football – and others – miss the greatness in Emmett Johnson until now?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The Friday mailbag is full. Your questions reflect the main topics of this bye week at Nebraska – a little talk about the quarterbacks, a little talk about Matt Rhule’s NIL money, and a lot of talk about Emmett Johnson. How did the Huskers miss Johnson’s greatness before the past year? What would Johnson have to do against Penn State and Iowa to win the Heisman? In what league will he make his money in 2026?

We’re also looking at the Huskers’ schedule in 2026. Why have screen passes popped this season, and why did TJ Lateef, in his only start, thrive in hitting the crossing routes that Dylan Raiola often did not try? That and a bunch more. Join us for all the fun.

Big 10 SQUAD - What the Nebraska Cornhuskers Will do in Week Twelve

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Big Ten playoff hopes hang in the balance as conference chaos continues. How many teams will crash the College Football Playoff party?

Ten Big Ten podcast hosts break down the latest rankings and deliver predictions for Week 12's crucial matchups. The discussion covers Iowa's historic struggles on the West Coast ahead of their USC showdown, Michigan State's defensive collapse against Penn State, and Wisconsin's upset victory over Washington that featured their punter as the leading passer. Ohio State's dominance stands in stark contrast to Indiana's nail-biting wins, while Michigan prepares for a sloppy Wrigley Field battle against Northwestern.

Key analysis includes Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski's first three-loss season ever, Michigan State backup Alessio Milivojevic's 300-yard passing debut, and why the Oregon-USC game could be a playoff elimination matchup. The hosts debate SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey's bold playoff predictions and whether two-loss Big Ten teams deserve postseason spots.

Tune in for expert predictions, friendly trash talk, and insider perspectives on which Big Ten teams will survive the playoff race.

Nebraska football: What button did Matt Rhule push one year ago that changed the Huskers?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The bye week for Nebraska football provides us with a chance to look back. One year ago at this time, the Huskers were struggling. They were in danger of moving in the wrong direction as a program. Matt Rhule acted boldly. How much did one move set the dominoes in motion to get the Huskers on track – that is, if you believe they’re on track today?

Also, we’re peering ahead toward December and January. Nebraska has new spending power in the NIL world, according to Rhule, so what’s that going to look like when the portal opens? It’s time for some roster math. We go over the key numbers to know in the Huskers’ all-important bid to upgrade their roster ahead of next season. And, we’re picking games for Week 12 in college football. Nebraska’s next two opponents are in action. Is its bowl opponent out there playing a big game, too? Join us.

The purpose of Nebraska football’s Emmett Johnson Heisman campaign

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Nebraska football rolled out its Emmett Johnson Heisman Trophy campaign on Tuesday, one day after Matt Rhule went deep on touting the back’s achievements. It’s late to get in the race. Too late, almost certainly, for Johnson to actually contend for the trophy. What’s the motive here for Nebraska? Well, it can help recruiting. It can help Johnson’s bid to win other awards. It can help the Huskers’ overall visibility.

Connor and Mitch are also reacting to Rhule’s comments from Monday about the work that Troy Dannen has accomplished to create alignment within the Nebraska athletic department. We review the victory on Tuesday by Nebraska basketball. Should the Huskers hang a banner to commemorate the Crown championship? And the second College Football Playoff rankings release arrived on Tuesday. Where would Nebraska have sat if it held on to beat USC on Nov. 1? Join us.

All in: Nebraska's Matt Rhule shows his cards in the money game

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Nebraska coach Matt Rhule brought the heat Monday as the bye week began in Lincoln. Rhule used his weekly press conference platform to speak definitively about the position Nebraska has reached in planning to build a roster through spending in the months ahead. The Huskers have gathered the resources to compete at the highest level, Rhule said. And if this makes you uncomfortable, well, it’s what Rhule said he wanted four weeks ago after his name surfaced at Penn State.

Continuing with the unabashed approach, Rhule did not hesitate in speaking on the future for TJ Lateef and Emmett Johnson – the Huskers’ offensive stars from their victory Saturday at UCLA. Lateef is going to get offers to leave Nebraska. Bring it on, Rhule said. The coach believes that Nebraska is the best spot for players to develop. And Johnson faces a decision about the NFL. Rhule offered his thoughts on the junior running back. Join us as we react to all of it.

Nebraska football: Is a nine-win regular season there for the taking?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Now that Matt Rhule’s Nebraska football team has made it to seven wins in the regular season, why not nine? Connor and Mitch are here on this Monday after a 28-21 win at UCLA to examine the viability of Nebraska’s bid to close November with three consecutive victories. Penn State and Iowa, next up on the Huskers’ schedule, endured dramatic defeats at home in Week 11 against CFP contenders. What will it mean for TJ Lateef and Nebraska?

Is the Nebraska offensive line – here and now with its limitations – in better position to function efficiently with a mobile quarterback? Even if that QB, Lateef, is much less experienced than the injured two-year starter, Dylan Raiola, whom Lateef replaced? The Big Red Invasion that helped spur Nebraska to victory on Saturday cannot be taken for granted. And we zip around Nebraska athletics with a look at what’s happening on the basketball and volleyball courts. Join us.

REACTION: TJ Lateef and Emmett Johnson POWER Nebraska football to victory at UCLA

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 16:15:00 +0000

Nebraska rolled to its seventh victory of the football season, 28-21 Saturday night at UCLA, behind true freshman QB TJ Lateef and an All-America style performance from running back Emmett Johnson. Lateef, in a homecoming game at the Rose Bowl, enjoyed a near-perfect starting debut. Johnson, meanwhile, turned in the first 100-yard rushing, 100-yard receiving game in the history of Nebraska football.

And so the Huskers are 7-3 to enter a bye week ahead of closing games at Penn State and against Iowa. That’s a big step for Matt Rhule and his program, which has increased its regular-season win total now in four consecutive seasons. Defensively, Nebraska struggled to contain UCLA’s Nico Iamaleava. But when the Huskers needed to make plays – offensively and defensively – they did it. Join us for a full breakdown.

Nebraska football mailbag: Can the Huskers be relevant without beating USC, Michigan or Iowa?

The Friday mailbag is open. Connor and Mitch are fielding questions today on beer sales at Memorial Stadium. Should the Huskers keep a running total during games? Or might that be a bad idea? Is Matt Rhule inviting close games – that don’t need to be close – with his style of coaching?

What’s in the wine rack over Mitch’s left shoulder on the YouTube feed? Is Nebraska’s destiny this season driven by the defense? What should fans look forward to in 2026? And would a win Saturday at UCLA rank among Rhule’s best with the Huskers? Answers to all of those and more. Join us. And enjoy the weekend.

Just how close was Nebraska football this season to making some real noise?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 6 Nov 2025 16:30:00 +0000

College football fans pointed all year to this week – and the release of the first CFP rankings. For Nebraska fans, it was rarely a hot topic. But in this era of the sport, perhaps that’s misguided. The Huskers may not put together a run this month and finish strong. No matter, their season was on track last Saturday night at halftime to look a lot different in November.

If Nebraska had held on to beat USC, the Huskers likely would have been ranked in the first CFP poll. And they would have been in play for a spot in the 12-team bracket. Isn’t that all the Huskers and their fans want at this stage of development in Matt Rhule’s program? Connor and Mitch are here to talk about the new trophy claimed by Nebraska. And we’re picking games in Week 11. How many yards will TJ Lateef accumulate in his first start with the Huskers? Is a big night on tap for Mike Ekeler’s special teams? It’s all here. Join us.

Nebraska football: One year in, Dana Holgorsen is right back where he started

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 15:00:00 +0000

We heard Tuesday at media availability from Nebraska coordinators Dana Holgorsen and John Butler, plus a group of Huskers as they prepare for a trip west to UCLA. Nebraska players are all in on backing freshman QB TJ Lateef. Holgorsen looked back at the past year and how much things have changed – despite circumstances that mirror his start in Lincoln – since November 2024.

Has Emmett Johnson positioned himself to make a run at the NFL in 2026? Butler is busy designing a plan aimed to slow the Bruins’ dynamic quarterback, Nico Iamaleava, who torched SEC opponents a year ago in leading Tennessee to the College Football Playoff. And we finish with some talk about the Rose Bowl. What is that surface that the Bruins play on? DeShon Singleton has a question for the media. Join us.

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule: ‘Either you’re in or you’re out’ at this crossroads

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 4 Nov 2025 15:30:00 +0000

Monday gave us a five-minute opening statement from Nebraska football Matt Rhule at his weekly media session, filled with declarative statements about his support for injured quarterback Dylan Raiola, new starter TJ Lateef and the state of the Huskers in this moment. Nebraska heads to UCLA this week, and Rhule wants to know if his guys are “in or out” on finishing this season on a strong note.

The Huskers’ situation at offensive tackle is reason for alarm, with another season-ending surgery announced on Monday. Rhule talked more about the timeouts during the Huskers’ first drive with Lateef in command in the second half against USC. Everyone feels strongly about some part of that game. And Nebraska basketball opened with a victory on Monday. Join us as we discuss it all.

Nebraska football: Is there hope for the Huskers without Dylan Raiola?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 3 Nov 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Dylan Raiola is out for the rest of this season with a broken leg. Connor and Mitch are here to discuss his future and welcome TJ Lateef to the big stage. Nebraska will turn to its true freshman QB after Raiola was injured Saturday night against USC. What kind of an opportunity is this for Lateef? And for Nebraska to learn more about what it’s got in the young QB? Also, what about Dana Holgorsen, Nebraska’s OC who has a history of building the kind of creative offense that the Huskers will need in November?

It’s a moment, too, for Emmett Johnson to shoulder an even larger load. We make the case that EJ is playing beyond an All-Big Ten level. It’s the same with Ceyair Wright on the defensive side. Are the Blackshirts ready to handle the challenge that faces Nebraska as it heads to UCLA before a bye week? The intrigue is thick this week. Join us.

REACTION: USC 21, Nebraska 17. Did the Huskers pick the wrong moments to act conservatively?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 2 Nov 2025 17:30:00 +0000

Another bitter pill to swallow Saturday night in Lincoln as USC came from behind to beat Nebraska 21-17. The big news involved quarterback Dylan Raiola, who suffered an ankle injury early in the second half and did not return. Did Nebraska get too conservative on offense with freshman TJ Lateef in charge, particularly on a disorganized drive that ended with a fourth-and-1 decision that has prompted much debate?

Connor and Mitch have thoughts on that scenario. Same goes for the Huskers’ second possession of the night, when Nebraska held a 7-0 lead and had stopped the Trojans twice. Should Dana Holgorsen have gone for the throat with a crowd ready to explode behind Nebraska? We’re also breaking down Lateef’s Big Ten debut and the Blackout energy. Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: How to fix the crazy world of college football coaching pay?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 11:00:00 +0000

We survived the week. It’s time for the Friday Nebraska football mailbag, with some news to digest at the top. Coach Matt Rhule did, in fact, sign a contract extension through 2032 with Nebraska. He’s now even deeper into college football’s crazy world of coaching salaries and buyouts. How do we make it stop?

What does success look like for the Huskers in November? What’s the most exciting element on tap for Saturday night? Could Penn State or another premier program run itself into the ground long term, a la Nebraska for most of this century, because of poor decisions made by its administration? What is the most iconic fight song in college sports? Do the reporters at Nebraska press conferences sit in assigned seats? And if Shohei Ohtani played football, wouldn’t that be cool?

Though this weekend is not as hectic as it could have a few weeks ago, on paper, there is still plenty to break down ahead of the Big 10's Week 10. The Ohio State Buckeyes will host the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Indiana Hoosiers are traveling to the DMV to take on the Maryland Terrapins.

What it means for Nebraska, its NIL and recruiting if the school extends Matt Rhule

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 14:00:00 +0000

What a week we’ve had around Nebraska. Actual football talk and the anticipation of a big game Saturday night as USC visits Memorial Stadium. After two weeks of worry about topics mostly unrelated to the games ahead, it’s been refreshing. And then over the past 48 hours, speculation surfaced that Troy Dannen was working to extend the contract of Matt Rhule.

There’s nothing official (as of Thursday morning). But if it happens, what would an extension mean for all aspects of the Nebraska program – from recruiting to NIL to the environment Saturday night in the stadium? Connor and Mitch offer some analysis. Also, we’re picking Week 10 in college football. Can Nebraska finally beat a ranked team? What are the keys to victory? Join us on a busy Thursday.

Nebraska football: Should Troy Dannen drop everything right now to extend Matt Rhule?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Creeping close to Saturday night with USC at Memorial Stadium – a bigger November stage than Nebraska football has enjoyed at home in more than a decade. So is the time right for Troy Dannen to strike? Should the Nebraska AD prioritize above all else on his plate to extend the contract of Matt Rhule?

The PR playbook says yes, do it now, capitalize on the moment. Of course, it takes two parties to make this happen. Rhule (and his agent) have to be willing to play ball during the season. Connor and Mitch are here to talk about what to watch with this situation. Also, is the bottom about to fall out of Nebraska’s sparkling pass defense? And we’re discussing implications of the weather forecast, which calls for a cold night in Lincoln as the Trojans visit. Join us.

Back in black: Nebraska's Matt Rhule calls on fans to silence USC on Saturday night

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule implored Husker Nation on Monday to make its presence known at Memorial Stadium this week as USC visits. The table is set for an epic atmosphere in Lincoln against an opponent that Nebraska has never beaten. Can it rise to the level to rank as of the best environments we’ve seen for a home game in the past 20 years? Ultimately, that’s up to the Huskers. Connor and Mitch weigh in on the potential impact of Nebraska’s crowd.

Also, we’ve got thoughts on the Blackout. It’s big for recruiting, according to Rhule. The coach speaks out on his sideline interactions with Mike Ekeler, on Ceyair Wright, a former USC Trojan, and on Lincoln Riley. Rhule wouldn’t walk past Riley in a bar. Join us for a lively conversation on this Tuesday.

Nebraska football: This week is even bigger than it may appear for the Huskers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 14:00:00 +0000

It’s a big week at Nebraska, with 23rd-ranked USC on the way to Memorial Stadium. But just how big? We dig into the not-so-recent past to find a home game in November with comparable stakes. If you’re hung up on the nature of Nebraska’s close wins – and one loss that wasn’t all that close – look around. College football is full of teams like the Huskers. Believe it or not, Saturday night in Lincoln is a CFP eliminator.

Connor and Mitch are to talk about the latest happenings on the coaching carousel. There was a big move at LSU on Sunday. Might the firing of Brian Kelly have a collateral impact on the situation at Nebraska? We’re revisiting the importance of special teams this season with Mike Ekeler in charge. And we take a first look at the USC matchup. Also, bowl conversation.

REACTION: Nebraska football comes up clutch – again – in taking down Northwestern

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 16:15:00 +0000

The Nebraska football team dispatched Northwestern 28-21 on Saturday in Lincoln, the Huskers’ sixth win in eight games. Not bad, huh? Well, it’s been a ride. And this return home after two on the road was no exception. Nebraska struck early. And it won the game with a clutch drive directed by Dylan Raiola. The sophomore QB converted four third downs on the Huskers’ game-winning march – to four receivers – before Emmett Johnson found the end zone.

Nebraska battled poor officiating. It also benefited from poor officiating. Johnson rushed for 124 yards. He’s playing like a first-team All-Big Ten running back. The Huskers got another big day from their special teams, highlighted by Kenneth Williams’ 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. It sets up a big Saturday night, with USC in town.

Nebraska football mailbag: The dark and gloomy edition

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 13:45:00 +0000

It’s Friday. Perk up, Husker Nation. First, you’re going to have to endure a bit of gloom and doom from Nebraska fans who are concerned about numerous topics. They’re voicing those concerns today in the mailbag. For instance, should Nebraska fire every coach who didn’t perform up to par last week?

The Huskers had a bad game at Minnesota. Was it simply that, or are a few of our listeners and viewers correct in wondering if things are beginning to crash and burn? We’re addressing questions about Dylan Raiola and Matt Rhule, of course, but also Dana Holgorsen’s offense, John Butler and Donovan Raiola. What can fix all of this? A win against Northwestern, of course. Join us. And let’s finish the week on a high note.

Is Nebraska coach Matt Rhule the No. 1 choice of Penn State? Insight from Audrey Snyder

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 11:00:00 +0000

We’re joined on this Thursday by guest Audrey Snyder, Penn State beat writer for Inside the Lions. She takes us behind the scenes of the Nittany Lions’ coaching search. What is the temperature around Penn State on Nebraska coach Matt Rhule, who sits among the perceived top candidates for the job? It opened, of course, when Rhule’s friend, PSU athletic director Pat Kraft, fired James Franklin this month.

Does Kraft have the autonomy needed to pick Rhule if he’s not the choice of other Penn State leaders? What sent the Nittany Lions off the rails this year? And what might Nov. 22 look like at Beaver Stadium if Rhule remains a potential target of Kraft? Also, we’re picking the Northwestern-Nebraska game Saturday, plus one more in the Big Ten game and another contest on the national stage.Join us.

Huskers on the hot seat: Nebraska football’s continued rebound from Minnesota

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Another day and another batch of answers from Nebraska football coaches and players in trying to explain the debacle that occurred last week at Minnesota. John Butler lost his aggressiveness in the first half. Dana Holgorsen really did want to run the ball, he said. Offensive guard Henry Lutovsky said he thought the Gophers would quit late.

Connor and Mitch are here with thoughts, as always. We’re also talking about the appearance Tuesday night from AD Troy Dannen on the Huskers Radio Network. His eyes are open to all that is happening around Nebraska athletics. And Mitch tells the sad story of how he burned his hand on Tuesday. Join us.

Nebraska football: Matt Rhule on why it all went wrong last week

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule faced two paths from which to choose Monday as he addressed the media at the start of Northwestern week in Lincoln. Rhule could have elected to turn the page and shut off talk about Minnesota, the debacle from last Friday. But he chose to address it head on. He chose to spare no coordinator, assistant coach or position group of players.

Why did it all go so wrong? Connor and Mitch are here to dissect Rhule’s media session, answer by answer, as he revealed more about his mindset – and the Huskers’ approach to last week. It was enlightening and informative. We are giving you all the context. Join us on this Tuesday.

Nebraska football: One bad night or a sign of where this season is headed?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 14:00:00 +0000

It’s Monday, and Connor and Mitch are reunited after the weekend. Connor has yet to weigh in on Nebraska’s 24-6 loss at Minnesota. So we dive back into that mess. Why did it go wrong? What happened to Dana Holgorsen’s plan that worked so well a week earlier? And the big question: Where is this season headed, with Northwestern playing well as it comes to Lincoln on Saturday?

We divert to address an exhibition victory by the Nebraska men’s basketball team against BYU. Things continue to happen in college football that have set this coaching carousel season up as a momentous one. And what will Matt Rhule have to say on Monday? It’s all here. Join us.

REACTION: Nebraska falls flat at Minnesota. What areas need immediate attention?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:05:00 +0000

With a college football Saturday to sit back and digest that 24-6 Nebraska loss Friday night at Minnesota, it’s not looking any better for Matt Rhule and the Huskers than two days ago. Mitch is here on this Sunday, flying solo as we await Connor’s Monday return to the pod, to try to make sense of what happened in Minneapolis.

The offensive line is not responsible for everything that went wrong as Nebraska allowed nine sacks. But it’s the primary group that deserves blame. Does something need to happen now to get help for O-line coach Donovan Raiola? Mitch is looking at PJ Fleck’s mastery of Nebraska. What does the Minnesota coach do – and why does it always work? We’re talking, too, about Dylan Raiola’s frustrating day in and out of the pocket.

And were the Huskers and their coach distracted in the days leading up to this kickoff? Yes or no, something important was off in Lincoln last week. Join us for a show full of reactions.

A week for Nebraska football like nothing we’ve seen, with guest Dirk Chatelain

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Game day is here. Nebraska football visits Minnesota on Friday night. The Huskers have seemingly set aside distractions, but conversations about Matt Rhule and Penn State continue to fester. With Connor out of the area, Mitch is joined on this Friday episode by Dirk Chatelain, the award-winning writer and author, formerly of the Omaha World-Herald.

Dirk gives his perspective on the past few days at Nebraska and the firing of James Franklin, which led to speculation that Rhule is a top candidate to take over at his alma mater. What angles would Dirk like to see explored? How has Rhule so endeared himself to Nebraska fans in two-plus years? What scenario does Dirk envision for the next two months? And we’re talking about what’s ahead for Nebraska volleyball.

Nebraska football mailbag: Could the Huskers and their fans survive another coaching search?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 11:00:00 +0000

It’s a Thursday mailbag episode – 24 hours early this week – with the Huskers in action on Friday night at Minnesota. Some of you have told us to stop with the conversation about Matt Rhule and Penn State job opening. And then many others asked us questions about the situation. So here we are, answering all that you’ve got.

What would a CFP run at Nebraska do for Penn State’s ability to lure the Huskers’ coach? We all know he’s not taking it, right? (No, actually we do not.) Why isn’t PJ Fleck a candidate for the Nittany Lions? How competitive are the Huskers really in NIL spending? At what spots might Nebraska need to look in the portal after this season? And do we ever lose control of our emotions in the press box?
