The latest Monday Night Therapy opened with relief and cautious optimism as Minnie and Fred celebrated Nebraska’s sixth win, putting the Huskers at 6–2 and bowl eligible for the first time in years. Despite the milestone, fans remain divided—some thrilled with progress, others frustrated by “ugly wins.” Minnie and Fred agreed that injuries, inconsistent offensive line play, and lingering mistakes have made this season a grind, but one worth appreciating.

They reviewed recent games, noting impressive wins over Cincinnati, Michigan State, Maryland, and Northwestern, and the lone disappointment at Minnesota, which they blamed on poor preparation and coaching. Special teams earned praise—especially Kenneth Williams, whose 95-yard kick return sealed the Northwestern victory and earned him Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week. Running back Emmett Johnson’s 124-yard game also drew admiration, cementing him as one of the Big Ten’s top rushers.

Looking ahead to the blackout game vs. USC, Minnie and Fred predicted a high-scoring shootout, emphasizing Nebraska’s home-field advantage and USC’s injuries. The episode closed on a hopeful note—Nebraska may not be perfect, but the team is improving, the fan base is re-energized, and the bowl drought is finally over. Go Big Red.
