I-80 Club

Jack Mitchell and Kaleb Henry start this week by once again updating our NCAA Tournament confidence ratings... Could one measly game move the meter? The guys know everyone warns against doing this, but they play the transitive game with Nebraska, Creighton, and UTRGV.

Plus, as Fred narrows minutes for the squad in the coming games, which player gives you FOMO and more on the surprisingly dramatic transformation of Berke Buyuktuncel from last spring to this fall.

Finally, they preview next week's opponents – Bethune Cookman and Fairleigh Dickinson – and what the guys expect in those matchups.

Jack, Kaleb, and Bigelow get together after Nebrasketball knocks off UTRGV 87-67! Jack has an early freakout about three-point defense, a game that was tight with five minutes left, but are eventually calmed by the crew's calm, measured takes on Brice's role as an alpha, what a thicker team might mean for the year, and the things that went well in a 20-point win.

Josh Peterson and Jack Mitchell reconvene after another brutal Nebraska loss to discuss the state of the program, where things are going, and what discussions need to be had. They discuss topics including:

• Nebraska fell to UCLA 27-20 but it really wasn't that close. What surprised them the most in the ninth game of the season?
• Is progress being made?
• What the hell has happened to Dylan Raiola?
• Did Matt Rhule try to build Nebraska the wrong way?
• What do we think happens with the staff moving forward?
• Is 2024 salvageable?

And so, so much more.

Josh and Jack get right to brass tacks on the Wednesday night pod by exploring something Josh has noticed this week: A vibe shift. Is he right? Why is the mood better? And how did Nebraska go from losing by 49 to losing by four, especially since the latter game featured a more talented team?

They also discuss what locking up a bowl bid would do for the program and what would happen in the month of November.

They finish the pod by diving into the remaining teams still in the CFP picture and try to figure out how many teams are still in the mix.

Plus, the guys dive into this year's team, how the roster measures up to last year's NCAA squad, player by player scouting reports from practice, and what this schedule means for what it will take to get back to the NCAA Tournament.

Nebraska had their toughest loss of the season vs. Ohio State but not all seemed lost as Josh Peterson and Jack Mitchell broke the game down. They comb through the moments where Nebraska played well and the moments they wish Nebraska could have back on the long ride to the four-point loss, including:

• The defense showing themselves to have an elite ceiling once again.
• The kicking game finding something to build off of.
• The run game having some success but still missing something.
• Dylan Raiola, missing throws, and if the offense trusts him.

They discuss Satterfield's play calls, how they swung from a 49-point loss to such a close defeat, and a whole lot more. It's I-80 After Dark! Thanks for checking us out.

The fanbase is still frustrated as hell after Nebraska's 56-7 loss to Indiana and it showed itself in the discussions on the pod. Josh and Jack discuss the fallout of Marcus Satterfield and the offense, including why Jack finds the discussion of Nebraska's OC so frustrating and why he worries about giving up on a coach so soon. Josh's reporting has shown that Dylan Raiola's ankle injury will linger moving forward. How does that affect him, the offense, and its playcaller? Plus, Jack mourns the defense not being what he hoped, the season turning into such dour discussions, and more.
