Are you starting to wonder if there's a lingering curse over the Huskers? Yet another heart-wrenching loss unfolded last Thursday against Minnesota, and it's becoming increasingly challenging to explain away these close defeats.

The Huskers seem stuck in a recurring nightmare – the same problems yielding the same unfortunate outcome. Nebraska's four turnovers paved the way for the Golden Gophers to secure a 13-10 victory, further fueling suspicions of a possible curse. Adding to the mystique, since the commencement of the 2021 season, Nebraska boasts a dismal 2-14 record in one-score games. What's more disheartening is that in five of those 14 losses, the Huskers had a lead in the fourth quarter.

In this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast, brought to you by Betfred Sports, join Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice as they dissect the game, delving into the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.

Unfortunately, the road ahead doesn't get any smoother for the Huskers. Their next challenge takes them to Colorado this Saturday, where the Buffalos have already made waves. In a surprising turn of events, Colorado clinched a stunning victory against TCU, a team that competed in the National Title Game last season and emerged victorious. The new head coach of Colorado, Deion Sanders, has shown he's unafraid to back up his talk, solidifying his claims with a victorious season opener.

While the Buffs showcased their offensive prowess, racking up an impressive 565 yards of total offense, with 510 of those yards coming through the air, there are clear chinks in their armor. Colorado's defense exhibited vulnerabilities, allowing a staggering 42 points and 541 yards to TCU, including 262 yards on the ground. The stage is set for another thrilling showdown, and the Huskers will need to overcome their recent curse to seize victory in Colorado.
