Locked On Nebraska - Daily Podcast on the Nebraska Cornhuskers

Week 6 of this Nebraska football season starts with a little dose of disrespect thrown at Matt Rhule’s Huskers. They’ve done everything that’s been reasonable to ask through five games, rolling a soft schedule of opponents by a margin on par with the top teams nationally. No one here is saying that Nebraska should be ranked in the top 10 as No. 7 Indiana awaits. But is the top 25 too much to ask after a 5-0 start? 

It won’t matter, one way or the other, after this week and next, when Nebraska visits Oregon. But as Curt Cignetti prepares his Hoosiers to visit Lincoln, let’s look at the Huskers’ shot to insert themselves into the national conversation. We’re taking a look around the Big Ten after Week 5 and starting our discussion about what to watch at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Join us.

The road to 5-0 is complete for Nebraska football. And it came with some bumps along the way on Saturday. Nebraska beat Maryland 48-23 at Memorial Stadium by scoring 34 unanswered points after the Terps twice built two-score leads in the first half. The Huskers showed the composure that we’ve come to expect from Matt Rhule’s fourth team. They seized the moment with a pick-six by Dwayne McDougle that changed the complex of the game.

Anthony Colandrea led the way with a heavy dose of his heroics, even on a day when he wasn’t at his sharpest through the air. Really, Nebraska just waited out the Terps, believing that Maryland would eventually fold. And it did. What does it all mean for the Huskers as they turn a corner toward Indiana, the defending national champion? Let’s start the conversation now. Join us.

The Friday mailbag is bursting at the end of this second week of the Big Ten football season for Nebraska. So let’s dive in. You’re wondering about the DEFCON level around the Huskers — and how a loss on Saturday might change it. Why was Troy Dannen’s name connected to an AD opening at Iowa State? Should Matt Rhule hire a spy to help against a Big Ten foe? 

Rob Aurich’s defense is looking better by the week. Is that by design? Would the PCSA be good for Nebraska? Who’s the third option on offense for Nebraska basketball after Pryce Sandfort and Braden Frager? Is Maryland laying a trap at Memorial Stadium? And finally, would it help if the Nebraska volleyball team endured some struggles between now and December? Join us for our answers.

Lincoln Riley faces intense scrutiny after USC mishandles a crucial moment and falls to Oregon, raising questions about culture and leadership in the Trojans’ locker room. Can Riley’s squad rebound against a struggling Washington team at home, or will pressure hit a breaking point? Meanwhile, Iowa stuns Michigan with a dramatic finish—setting up a high-stakes clash with undefeated Ohio State in Iowa City. Are the Hawkeyes poised for another giant upset?

The Big 10 Squad breaks down the Big Ten’s must-watch matchups, key storylines, and playoff implications. Discussion spans player development at USC, Iowa’s relentless defense, Ohio State’s shaky run support, and the playoff picture for Michigan, Penn State, and Wisconsin. Fan picks, conference predictions, and bold score forecasts round out the Big Ten’s most comprehensive weekend preview. Will underdogs prevail, or do powerhouses hold their ground?

Lots cooking on this Thursday before Week 5 in the Nebraska football season. The availability report Wednesday night from the Big Ten listed Jamal Rule as doubtful to play Saturday against Maryland. If the freshman running is held out for the Huskers, how might that affect Dana Holgorsen’s offense? Wide receiver Jacory Barney is questionable. And right guard Brendan Black is probable.

We’re discussing Matt Rhule’s desire to play gritty football for four quarters each week in conference play. Is that always a requirement for Nebraska in 2026? Which of the matchups on the field this week intrigue us as the Huskers aim to get to 5-0? And we’re making picks — for the game in Lincoln and around the nation in college football. Join us.

Nebraska football offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and DC Rob Aurich met with the media on Tuesday. They’re laying it on thick this week — and not just about Maryland, the Huskers’ opponent Saturday that brings a two-game losing streak into Memorial Stadium. “It didn’t all suck,” Holgorsen said about Nebraska’s second half on offense at Michigan State. 

We’re watching in real time as Aurich’s defense grows up, gaining confidence because of the trust instilled by the first-year DC. Standout individual plays are on the upswing for the Blackshirts. What’s next for Nebraska offensively and defensively as the schedule turns soon into a monster? Join us for a full rundown from Tuesday in Lincoln.

An injury update from the Nebraska football program on Monday that actually wasn’t much of an update: We’ll find out on Wednesday about the status of running back Jamal Rule and wide receiver Jacory Barney. That will be the procedure moving forward as the Huskers stick with Big Ten policy — and offer nothing more. Rhule addressed the Nebraska punting game through four weeks. What more does he want from Archie Wilson? 

We’ve got a kickoff time for next week as Indiana comes to town. Just one more hurdle for Nebraska to clear in order to make that a giant game. The hurdle, of course, is Maryland. Rhule discussed his faith in coach Mike Locksley to get the Terps ready for Saturday at Memorial Stadium after they were dismantled 54-3 by UCLA last week. Also, the Nebraska coach heard about Dylan Raiola’s big day with Oregon on Saturday, of course. Rhule gave us his thoughts on the Huskers’ former QB.

It’s Monday, which means the time is here to check in around the Big Ten at opponents ahead for Nebraska football. Nothing but drama in Week 5 around the league. Dylan Raiola took center stage for Oregon in L.A.. Iowa delivered karma at the Big House. Illinois fired its defensive coordinator. Washington went down late at night as PJ Fleck went full vampire-mode on one of his linebackers. 

This is Maryland week, not Indiana week in Lincoln. But we’re talking about both of Nebraska’s next two opponents at home. We’ll get a kickoff time and a TV network on Monday for the Oct. 10 game against the Hoosiers. Also, where does Nebraska sit in the national rankings at the one-third mark of the regular season? Join us for answers and analysis.

Did you think the Nebraska football team was in trouble at any point Saturday? It’s OK, admit it. The Huskers went into Michigan State and grabbed the lead early, then never let it go in a 31-13 win that pushed Matt Rhule’s team to 4-0. The win for Nebraska in its Big Ten opener was its first since 2019. The win at Spartan Stadium was its first since 2012. 

The list goes on. We’re reacting on this Sunday to Anthony Colandrea’s big day, to Rob Aurich’s defense, which produced six sacks and created three turnovers, and to the overall solid play that led to a few fortunate bounces for the Huskers. When you play good football, good things happen. Join us for a full breakdown of the events in East Lansing.

The Friday Nebraska football mailbag is here. We start, on this eve of the Huskers’ Big Ten opener, with a hypothetical: What will happen if Nebraska is in position to host a CFP first-round game in December? It’s a great question. We think we know the answer — and will seek clarity with the athletic department as a result of this mailbag question. Is Nebraska football abandoning its middle class with the Memorial Stadium re-seat? 

Is there a Big Ten team on a parallel track with Nebraska this fall? Did NC State’s gaffe in the end zone last week against Vanderbilt remind you of anything from Nebraska’s recent past? We’ve got a basketball question about a court-storming scenario. And we didn’t forget our picks and predictions for Week 4. It’s all here. Join us.
