Common Fan - A Nebraska Football Podcast episodes:
November 04, 2024Nebraska Football: Trust No One The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s garbage performance against UCLA:
- When it comes to Nebraska football, you cannot trust anyone.
- Matt Rhule said the team played with a championship mindset against Ohio State; Nebraska showed the opposite of that against UCLA.
- Everyone is to blame: the Head Coach, the offense, defense, and special teams.
- The team came out flat, didn’t seem to have any answers against the Bruins.
- The Huskers appear to have gotten progressively worse since the win over Colorado.
- It continues to be so frustrating to see these performances when the fan base is so dedicated and is asked for more and more.
On the bright side, the Common Fans talk about their first ever tailgate:
- Special thanks to Certified Piedmontese, Chick-fil-A, and White Elm Brewing Company for supporting the tailgate and the Common Fan Podcast.
- Several friends of the program showed up. We love you all.
The boys also explore some questions heading into the bye week:
- Why doesn’t Heinrich Haarberg get more of a chance? Not as the starter, but to lead entire drives. It would help the offense and help Raiola.
- Will there be coaching changes after the season?
- How in any way is any of this acceptable?
- At this point, will Nebraska make a bowl game?

...more October 30, 2024No Excuses: Nebraska Needs to Beat UCLA It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the tough loss to Ohio State and look ahead to UCLA.
- Husker fans have seen variations of the Ohio State game so many times over the years–close but not enough.
- Even so, Ohio State was a culture game. Coming off the loss to Indiana, Nebraska needed to show some guts and they did.
- Ohio State game showed Nebraska has a formula to win…if they can replicate that performance.
- Tough loss, but possibly the happiest the Common Fans have been after a Nebraska loss ever.
- Evaluating the multiple bad calls in the game: is officiating worse than it’s ever been?
Plus, looking ahead to UCLA:
- Worst rushing offense in the entire country.
- Quarterback Ethan Garbers has been a bright spot and looks to be healthy.
- A team with nothing to lose.
- Which Nebraska team will show up?
- If Ohio State really was a turning point, Nebraska should handle UCLA.
- There are no excuses at this point. Nebraska will be favored at home with bowl eligibility on the line. Win the game.
- Nebraska can win every game left on its schedule. How many will they win?

...more October 28, 2024Nebraska Can Win Any Game Left on the Schedule The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s heartbreaking loss to Ohio State:
- Husker Nation dealing with a wide range of emotions after yet another heartbreaking loss.
- Whether you’re feeling rage about the loss, or feeling more pensive and hopeful, all Common Fans are welcome.
- The boys are lamenting the missed opportunities, but ultimately feeling very encouraged about the direction of the program.
- Huskers showed a ton of fight the week after the disappointing, lopsided loss to Indiana.
- There are no moral victories, but this game can serve as a major turning point for the program.
- If Nebraska plays like that the rest of the season, they can win any game left on the schedule.
- All of that goes away though if the Huskers lose to UCLA. They need to keep up the same level of effort and intensity the rest of the way.
The boys also explore some questions heading into the bye week:
- Is John Hohl the answer at kicker?
- What’s the identity of this offense?
- Will Matt Rhule contemplate major shakeups on the coaching staff in the offseason?
- Can the Huskers bring this same effort and intensity the rest of the way?

...more October 23, 2024What to Make of the Nebraska Coaching Staff After Indiana Blowout? It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the Indiana loss, assess the current state of the program, and look ahead to Ohio State.
- Frustrations from the Indiana game boil over.
- Would the loss feel better if the Huskers had lost 35-7 instead of 56-7?
- 104 FBS teams have beaten a top 25 team since the last time Nebraska did it.
- Nebraska fans wrestle with watching a historic loser vault to success with a first year head coach, while the Huskers fail to meet their moment and get over the hump.
- Offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield’s comments at his weekly press conference don’t help things.
- Satterfield’s comments don’t jive with how Matt Rhule has talked about wanting to run the ball.
- The OC also seemed lost on a question about yards per play, and his answer has the fan base buzzing.
- Is Satterfield’s inconsistency a reflection on Rhule?
- The Nebraska fan base is as devoted as they come, but they are also smart football fans, and the seeming disarray from the coaching staff only adds to the frustration.
- Huskers have to show some fight and have positive takeaways vs. Ohio State.

...more October 21, 2024Nebraska Loss to Indiana Completely Unacceptable in Every Way The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s meltdown loss against Indiana:
- Huskers implode in major test against the Hoosiers.
- Was this loss worse than any loss of the Frost era?
- A win over Indiana was never a guarantee, but no one saw Nebraska just completely failing to show up.
- Huskers tossed around at both lines of scrimmage.
- Belief that the defense could keep Nebraska in any game turned out to be way off base.
- Offense has gotten continually worse in Big Ten play.
- Too quick to abandon the run; no identity whatsoever.
- Turnover bug rears its ugly head for the first time all season.
- Psychology of a program: the entire Nebraska football program showing itself to be too mentally fragile…still.
- Yet another opportunity for the Nebraska football program to turn a corner, to take the next step as a program, and not only do they miss the opportunity, they completely do the opposite of what they needed to do.
- Common Fans still buying what Coach Rhule is selling, but the product on the field needs to catch up to what’s being said.
- Bottom line: performance completely unacceptable.

...more October 09, 2024Indiana Game Massively Important for Huskers at Season’s Midpoint It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk Rutgers, Indiana, and a mid-season review of Nebraska football.
- Celebrating the 1-year anniversary of the Common Fan Podcast.
- The Common Fans announce the first ever Common Fan tailgate, to be hosted during the UCLA game in Lincoln on November 2. Tune in for more information.
- Putting a bow on the Rutgers game.
- Looking ahead to Indiana: IU will come into the game against Nebraska at 6-0 for the first time since 1967.
- Hoosiers have won every game by double digits, averaging more than 47 points per game.
- Their D has also been very good: currently 14th nationally in scoring defense, 8th in rushing defense, 25th in passing defense, 7th in total defense.
Recapping and reviewing the first half of the year:
- Huskers have completely flipped the script on turnovers, now +6 on the year.
- Defense is who we thought they were.
- Special teams was a question mark coming in, and it’s probably been even more of a problem than expected.
- Evaluating Dylan Raiola’s performance at the halfway point.
Finally, what’s the ceiling for this Nebraska team for the rest of the year?

...more October 07, 2024Huskers Beat Rutgers in a Street Fight The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s rugged win over Rutgers:
- Huskers win an old fashioned, Big Ten rock fight against the Scarlet Knights.
- Nebraska led 14-0 at half and then held on for dear life for the win.
- Celebrate 5-1!
- Huskers learning how to win, have responded with backs against the wall the last two weeks.
- Blackshirts come up HUGE.
- Two interceptions, game-defining, 3rd quarter goal line stand headline performance by the defense, which also largely bottled up standout RB Kyle Monangai.
- With two blocked punts and a possible injury to punter Brian Buschini, Special Teams remains not so special.
The boys also explore some questions heading into the bye week:
- What to do about Special Teams? The place kicking unit, the punt blocks, and the coverage units have been anywhere from average to bad all season long.
- Concern about Raiola? The true freshman had real struggles for arguably his first time as a Husker.
- Huskers travel to Bloomington after the bye week to face Indiana, who is 6-0 for the first time in their history. Just how good are the Hoosiers?

...more October 02, 2024Critical Stretch for Nebraska Starts with Rutgers It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk all the latest with Nebraska football.
- Is officiating in college football worse than it’s ever been?
- Feeling like officials are being taught to throw flags more than ever.
- Evan’s take on the Purdue game:
- Defense turns back into “old reliable”
- Offense finally gets on track late in the 3rd quarter
- Disastrous special teams
- Purdue and Colorado both end up with the same final score: 28-10. Would fans prefer a hot start and coasting in the 2nd half (like Colorado), or the slower start followed by the strong finish (like Purdue)
- Not always pretty, but Husker fans need to appreciate that the team is winning.
Plus, looking ahead to Rutgers:
- Head Coach Greg Schiano’s teams have historically blocked a lot of kicks and scored a lot of non-offensive touchdowns.
- Schiano's teams are traditionally tough and physical, but this year’s defense has had more of a “bend-but-don’t-break” approach.
- Scarlet Knights come in as the #12 rushing offense in the country.
- Huskers are likely the more talented team, but can they avoid the type of mistakes Rutgers is known for creating?
- Next two games absolutely critical for Nebraska: Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers, and Indiana represent the swing games for Nebraska’s season, and the Huskers are right in the middle of that stretch.

...more September 30, 2024Huskers Overcome Ugly 1st Half to Pound Purdue The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s bounce-back win over Purdue:
- Huskers overcome atrocious 1st half to win decisively
- Defense dominant once again
- Emmett Johnson coming out party
- 2nd half success a sign of growth for Matt Rhule’s program in Year 2
- Penalties, penalties, penalties
- Horrendous Special Teams
- Positive turnover margin very promising
The boys also explore some questions heading into week 6:
- What will the Huskers do about the kicking game moving forward?
- Is the ugly 1st half an indication that Nebraska is not as far along as they thought?
- Why can’t the Huskers get over the hump when it comes to penalties?
- Heading into Week 6, how good is Rutgers?
