Big Ten media days are almost here. We’re so excited that we’re here to deliver an early podcast this week to preview the festivities in Las Vegas – through the eyes of Nebraska opponents. The big event gets underway Tuesday as Nebraska, Ohio State, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana and Rutgers take the stage. 

We start our look at the Huskers’ foes with Penn State. Did the Nittany Lions break through last year in winning a pair of College Football Playoff games? We go west – to Los Angeles, where USC and UCLA play. Both are set to face Nebraska in November. Are the Trojans ready for a rebound? Is the hype around Nico Iamaleava, the Bruins’ quarterback, justified?

This episode concludes with conversations about Michigan and Iowa. The Wolverines remain on track to visit Lincoln in September without their head coach, Sherrone Moore. Is that a mistake? And who is more likely, the Huskers or the Hawkeyes, to remain in the CFP conversation on Black Friday? Join us.
