In the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast, Sam McKewon, Evan Bland and Tom Shatel break down the first half of the season and look ahead to the final six games. They also look at the differences between SEC and Big Ten football.

The crew opens by breaking down the first half of the season and what they like and dislike from the Huskers so far.

They then move on to address Tom's recent column on Nebraska not needing to apologize for how they win, and discuss how while the Husker offense might seem shaky, they still have a defense.

The three also discuss the Nebraska quarterback situation: Heinrich Haarberg stepping up and the what-if with Jeff Sims who we've only seen in two games. Have the Huskers traded a potentially high ceiling (Sims) for a steady and higher floor (Haarberg).

They look ahead to the final six games and how Nebraska could win or lose each game. The three also question will a young receiver step up to help on offense.

Tom breaks down the difference between SEC and Big Ten football after attending LSU vs. Missouri.

They then move onto basketball and what Fred Hoiberg can accomplish in his fifth season and how the women's team will be better than last year.

The crew closes out with their picks.
