September 16, 2024Nebraska Takes Care of Business Against Northern Iowa: Celebrate All the Ws
The Common Fans celebrate Nebraska’s 34-3 win over Northern Iowa:
While perhaps a little bit sloppy, the Big Red took care of business to get to 3-0.
This offense is fun to watch - playmakers everywhere, and with Dylan Raiola, everything seems possible.
Nebraskans everywhere! Heinrich Haarberg (Kearney), Carter Nelson (Ainsworth), Jaylen Lloyd (Omaha), and Tristan Alvano (Omaha) make significant contributions in the win.
The boys love how Coach Rhule and his staff are able to identify and recruit young talent that can get on the field and contribute right away.
Special teams trending up!
The boys also explore some questions heading into week 4:
The defense looked a bit less dominant, with some uncharacteristic missed tackles and trouble getting off the field on 3rd down. We won’t call it a question though, as the boys fully expect the Blackshirts to bounce back vs. Illinois.
Will the offense get Thomas Fidone more involved?
What’s the plan with the running backs moving forward? Will they continue with the four-way rotation we’ve seen early in the season?
This and much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan podcast.

September 11, 2024What Does the Win Over Colorado Mean for the Rest of Nebraska's Season?
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.
What does the win over CU mean for the rest of Nebraska's season?
This appears to be the turning point we've been waiting for.
D line dominance: how the Huskers are getting to the quarterback while only rushing three or four players.
Will they need to blitz more in Big Ten play?
How much should we read into Nebraska's sloppy 2nd half on Saturday?
Dylan Raiola continues to impress, as Coach Rhule says “He’s at a whole other level. Those other guys better pick it up.”
How concerned should we be about Nebraska’s special teams?
Plus, looking ahead to Northern Iowa:
#21 FCS team will bring a run-first approach to Lincoln.
Concerns about a letdown?
Huskers still in a place where they can't afford to look past anybody.
All this and much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.

September 09, 2024Nebraska Stuffs Colorado in a Locker
The Common Fans celebrate Nebraska’s decisive win over Colorado:
Like a school yard bully, the Huskers stuffed the Buffaloes into a locker on Saturday night.
Nebraska’s defense was dominant throughout.
The Buffs got punched in the mouth early, were in a big hole by halftime, and flat out quit by the 4th quarter.
Dominant first half: not only did the Huskers execute at a high level, they seemed to get every break.
Although the 2nd half was sloppy, the Husker defense made sure the game was never in doubt.
The boys also explore the major questions heading into week 3:
Do the Huskers look to make a change in the kicking game?
Was the O Line’s performance in the 2nd half a function of situational play calling, or is there cause for larger concern?
Can the Huskers take the next step and learn to play with a lead?
This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.

September 04, 2024View From the Blandstands: It's Colorado Week
The Common Fans announce “View From the Blandstands,” a weekly show that will be airing mid-week, every week of the college football season. Evan Bland of the Omaha World Herald will be joining the Common Fans to dissect each game, look ahead to the next game, and talk all the latest Husker football news.
This week, the crew dives head first into Colorado week:
Evan’s takeaways from the win over UTEP.
Here comes Colorado.
Rhule and Coach Prime keep it respectful and avoid providing bulletin board material (at least yet).
The contrast in the two programs - Nebraska’s foundation built on rock vs. Colorado’s foundation built on sand.
How important is this game to Nebraska’s season?
Is this game disproportionately important to the Husker fan base?
What Nebraska needs to do to win (hint: win the line of scrimmage and avoid turnovers).
Don’t forget to stay hydrated, Common Fans.
This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.

September 03, 2024Huskers Begin a New Season of Hope with a Decisive Win
The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s win in the home opener against UTEP:
So much to love about Dylan Raiola.
Isaiah Neyor and Jahmal Banks: transfer portal success stories.
The defense is who we thought they were.
Hello successful two-minute drill, it's been so, so long since we've seen you.
Emptying the bench like the old days.
The boys also explore the major questions heading into week 2:
Are Dante Dowdell and Emmett Johnson emerging as the top two running backs? Or will we continue to see RB by committee?
Has the offensive line taken a step forward or should we be concerned?
How reliable is the kicking game?
Can the defense get to the quarterback more than they did on Saturday?
Can the defense get off the field on 3rd down?
And finally, looking ahead to Colorado.

The Omaha World Herald's Tom Shatel joins the Common Fans to help kick off the 2024 Nebraska football season. The crew celebrates the coming season by diving in on a wide range of topics, including:
A tribute to Nebraska football fans.
The hope that Dylan Raiola brings, both for 2024 and beyond.
What’s more important to the success of the 2024 Nebraska football team: that Dylan Raiola is who we think he is, or that the defense is what we think they are?

"The College Football Playoff means more football. And it will revive New Years Day traditions and passions in us old spirits and give a new generation a reason to fall in love with the game."

The recent "this is why we lose" video of Coach Rhule addressing the team during practice, and the subsequent decision to close practice to media and guests.
