I-80 Club

Two weeks from week zero, Josh and Jack kick off another Saturday with some news about the I-80 Club: We're growing! Ben Stevens will join the I-80 Club soon for an all new show called the Big Ten Breakdown. They discuss what to expect, what it'll look like, and more.

Then, they dive into the latest discussions surrounding Husker football, including some pessimism on the defense. Is that pessimism founded?

Finally, they unpack a big question; what's the ceiling of Nebraska's offense?

Michael Weinreb of the Throwbacks newsletter joins Josh Peterson on the latest edition of the I-80 Football Show to dive into the last decade of college football, including the Big Ten's evolution since 2014, his surprise at where the sport has gone, and all the changes we've seen.

Then, they dive into the Penn State scandal and how Michael covered it, given he's an alum of the university and grew up in State College. What does he remember about 2011 and how surprising is it to see the program climb to the heights it has since?

They finish the podcast by discussing writing for Grantland when he did.
