Husker Doc Talk

This week Rimington Trophy Husker Doc Talk Podcast did not go as planned. That's a good thing! Some of the best topics come from you, the listener. Each week we ask you to send us questions through Twitter or email. This week we got a great question that started almost a 30-minute conversation.

Before we go into detail, don't forget to get your Husker tickets for home and away games at Ticket Express. For 25-years Ticket Express has given you access to places that tell you they are sold out.

Husker Hounds will dress you in the best Husker gear there is. But it's not just clothes. If you need some Big Red for any part of your life, Husker Hounds has it.

So Dr. Rob and Travis are drinking a Red-X IPA from infusion Brewing in this podcast. A listener asks; what is the current state of the Nebraska Walk-on program? We didn't know it at the time, but this started an almost 30-minute conversation about walk-ons. Here's the question we are asking. Are Husker fans holding on too tight to a tradition that looks a lot different than it did 20 or even 30-years ago? Push play to hear our thoughts.

Dr. Rob Zatechka just might raise some eyebrows in this week's Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy. 

A big discussion this week is what player Dr. Rob thinks will underachieve this season. If the Dr. is right, well the Nebraska offense might struggle a little or a lot. Now let's be clear, Dr. Rob Hopes that he's wrong!

Dr. Rob also spreads some good news and talks about the one player he thinks will overachieve and be a pleasant surprise this season. Here's a hint, It's an offensive lineman so Rob is showing his bias.

Lots of discussion outside of the predictions as we are now two weeks from the season starting. Make sure to get your tickets at Ticket Express and get decked out in your Husker gear at Husker Hounds.

Injuries are part of the game of football, we all know that. Every year during preseason camp it's not a matter of how, but rather who gets hurt and how long is he out for during the season.

The Rimington Trophy presents another season of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast. In episode 4 of 2017, Dr. Rob and Travis discuss the injuries that are affecting the Huskers at this point in fall camp and if they will have big of an effect on the rest of the season. You can find all the injury related news at HuskerMax.com.

Infusion Brewing Company provides a delicious Honey Saison for the hosts drinking pleasure during this podcast. It's on tap at both Infusion Brewing locations.

So the Huskers will be wearing Adidas for the next 11 years. A great deal for the University and the Athletic Department. Dr. Rob and Travis discuss why. Also, don't forget to buy all your official Adidas Husker Gear at the Husker Hounds.

Do you find preseason camp to be a little boring? Repetitive? Travis floats an idea that he thinks would help out both coaches and players. However, Dr. Rob is not buying into the notion, and it goes back to how today's podcast started, with injuries. We would like to know what you think of Travis' idea, leave your comments in the section below.

So far the first week of practice has been dominated by talk of the defense. The biggest news is the fact that Josh Kalu is going to stay at safety others will fight it out at the corner spot to replace the injured Chris Jones.

On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob and Travis talk about the decision to keep Kalua at Safety and the comments by Defensive Coordinator Bob Diaco and how he thinks Kalu could end up being the best safety in the country.
