Husker247: A Nebraska athletics podcast

Another November Sunday after a loss, but the Sunday Side Session still brings you all the analysis you want or didn’t know you needed following UCLA’s win over Nebraska. 

This time Mike Schaefer is joined by 93.7 The Ticket’s Derrick Pearson as the two discuss what happened on the field and how UCLA came into Lincoln with a plan and exposed the Huskers. 

Conversation starts with the defense, but mostly moves into a long discussion about play calling, identity, offensive coaching, setting up players before talking about red zone offense and Dylan Raiola. 

Finally it finishes with a simple but difficult question — can this Nebraska team pull itself together and get over the hump and why should anyone believe it can?

Husker247 gathered to chat following the Matt Rhule press conference and it lead to a longer conversation about Big Ten officiating than anyone planned.

After the officiating we assessed how things played out for Nebraska on the field with what it looked on offense, why the screens, why that may not be the answer moving forward and what commitment to the run game looks like.

Then we discussed the defense and the depth chart. Can Nebraska play like ti did defensively against Ohio State in the next four games?

Finally some recruiting talk ahead of what is shaping up to be a good visit weekend.

Husker247 gathered for a post-game recap of Nebraska’s tough 21-17 loss to Ohio State on Saturday.

Brian Christopherson and Mike Schaefer got together and walked through how the 4-point loss played out and why Saturday’s close loss was every bit as surprising as last week’s blowout to Indiana. 

The two specifically dove into the strong play from the defensive front, highlighting Jimari Butler and MJ Sherman in particular as the two had strong performances and really made life difficult on Will Howard and the Ohio State offensive line.

Then it was time to give John Hohl his flowers for a shockingly good kicking performance that allowed the Huskers to add points instead of getting nothing out of its early game success.

Finally they addressed the offense from the running game to the play calling. A few things were working well in the running game but not much went right through the air. Where are things sitting for a passing game that was thought to be a strength at one point this season?

Pavelka, who sounds bullish on Nebraska for the upcoming year, started the conversation talking about who stands out for the Huskers, who can help replace some of the production that left and why things might look a little different.

From there he dived into his career, his favorite places to call games, his memorable calls, the origin of bangarang and if he’s thought about what he’d say on air in the closing seconds of an NCAA tournament win for the Huskers.

Then a longer discussion took place about Nebraska’s offensive issues, how some of those might be solved and in what ways the Huskers could try to do things differently.
