After a huge win at Purdue last week 28-10, Nebraska comes home to play their last game before their BYE WEEK against Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Homecoming probably conjures memories of a chilly fall breeze through the trees with freshly fallen leaves and the smell of football wafting through the air. Mother Nature must not have received the memo of the Huskers playing their Homecoming Game this Saturday because the temps are supposed to be in the 90’s.

Besides the unseasonable temps, another unexpected but exhilarating occurrence is that we have a 4-1 season. However, with Rutgers 4-0 there is little time to celebrate.

The Purdue game showed us a Husker team that we can stay focused and keep grinding since all the points were scored in the latter part of the game. We also learned we have some dudes that can BALL; Ceyair Wright, Alex Bullock, John Bullock, Brian Buschini, Jacorey Barney, Barret Leibentritt these guys.

Tonight we will discuss the keys to winning on Saturday. Of course, there will be Long Snapper talk (as there usually is anyway) as well as missed FG’s and the mysterious calls from the black and white team-I mean Ref’s.

As always, we hope you will grab your favorite beverage and join us for what’s sure to be a lively exchange on Thursday Nights Five Heart Podcast.

GO BIG RED! See you soon!
