  • Dylan Raiola Transfer Rumors, TJ Lateef ‘Next Man Up?’ & Huskers Hoops 5–0 Start | Bleav in Nebraska

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

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

    Then, we flip the lens:

    • What would it look like if Nebraska has to roll with TJ Lateef as the starter next year?
    • How does the offense change — scheme, play-calling, explosives, identity?
    • And what’s a fair expectation for this program if the QB room looks different in 2025?
    • After that, we hit the hardwood.
      Nebraska hoops is off to a 5–0 start, including a statement win over New Mexico in Kansas City (84–72). Bryan breaks down:

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

      • Huskers at Penn State Preview + Nebraska Hoops Roll New Mexico to Go 5–0 | Bleav in Nebraska

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

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

        We close with a “Bleav It or Not”: will the Huskers really go into Beaver Stadium and steal one on the road? Tap in, drop your prediction, and let us know your confidence level in Nebraska—on the hardwood and on the road in Happy Valley.

      • BYE WEEK | Huskers 7–3 After UCLA Win: TJ Lateef Takeaways, Getting Healthy & Nebraska vs Oklahoma Husker Hoops Preview | Bleav in Nebraska

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

      • DYLAN RAIOLA OUT FOR THE SEASON. NOW WHAT? | Huskers vs UCLA Preview | Bleav in Nebraska

        This one hurts, Husker Nation.

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

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

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

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

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

        In this episode:

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

          • Nebraska men’s hoops — Rienk Mast drops 31 vs. BYU, and the Huskers cruise in exhibitions
          • Nebraska women’s hoops — opened the season with a dominant WIN tonight (nice! )
          • It’s a heavy moment, but this team has fought through adversity all year.

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

          • Husker Game Day Preview | Blackout in Lincoln: How Nebraska BEATS USC | Bleav in Nebraska

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

            Not on OUR watch.

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

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

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