Nebraska Husker football bye week episode, Jed, Matt and BJ are joined by Elijah to dig into Emmett Johnson’s breakout, Dylan Raiola’s mid-season regression, and what a true 2026 CFP-or-bust standard means for the Huskers. It’s a full-on state-of-the-program check-in for Nebraska fans heading into the stretch run.
The guys open with bye week storylines, Emmett Johnson’s usage, and whether his production deserves Heisman chatter, All-Big Ten love, and national recognition. From there, they zoom out on how the staff should build the offense around Emmett in 2025 and what that means for the RB room and portal targets. The conversation shifts to the defense and how Addison Williams and the back end fit into Nebraska’s long-term Big Ten title hopes before the crew turns squarely to Dylan Raiola. They break down his mid-season regression in back-to-back years, what’s on the coaches vs. what’s on the QB, and how much patience is realistic in today’s college football.
Later, the podcast pivots to 2026 expectations: is it actually College Football Playoff or bust for Matt Rhule by then, and what benchmarks need to be hit in 2024–25 to make that real? The crew closes by sorting through Nebraska’s must-keep guys, prove-it dudes, and priority portal positions heading into another massive offseason for the Huskers.
