Cornhusker Connection

Week five is in the books and Brandon and Drew break down where each team is at now that everyone has one Big 12 game in the books. Who has been the surprise winner, the surprise loser, and who are we excited to keep tabs on as the season progresses.

Tyler dominates week four, Brandon is especially down bad after picking Broncos ML last week. Special guest Luke returns to the show.

Nebraska is back to .500 for the first time since last October as Henrich Haarberg gets it done as the Husker's leading rusher. Is that enough for him to get starting nod over week one starter Jeff Sims with national title contender Michigan coming to town? Is Florida State ranked too high considering back to back close calls against two non-ranked teams

After another solid performance from QB Henrich Haarberg, Nebraska improves to 2-0 after a win against Louisiana Tech to wrap up the non-conference slate. Has Haarberg done enough to be QB1 going into the Michigan game next week? Who is better than Brandon thought, worse than he thought, and the same as he thought?Make sure to follow Brandon Shanahan @Shanahman

Brandon and Drew break down the first full slate of Big 12 games in conference play. Baylor seems like the exact kind of team that would beat Texas. Finally, the fellas make their picks and try and build on their winning records in the weekly pick 'em

Brandon, Brooke, and Tyler discuss what's going to happen to Michigan State now that Mel Tucker has been fired. Who should they target for their next head coach? They also make their week four picks and draw their line in the sand regarding Clemson-Florida State

The boys break down their wins and losses from week three actions. More wins from Bookie Brooke and more losses for Brandon. Tyler has the best week he's has this season.

After seeing Henrich Haarberg play a very clean game en route to Nebraska's first win of the season, does it make sense to go back to Jeff Sims if he's healthy? Is the Big 10 west so bad that Nebraska could still win it?

Brandon Shanahan and Drew Russell breakdown the, uh, not so great optics to the Big 12 during the non-conference season. But is it just bad optics or is the Big 12 actually bad?

Nebraska picks up their first win of the season and first win in the Matt Rhule era. They took care of Northern Illinois with Henrich Haarberg starting behind center who put on a very solid outing. Brandon also breaks down the Colorado-Colorado State shootout and recaps the teams/players who are better than he thought, worse than he thought, and the same as he thought.
