Podcast appearances and mentions of Dana Holgorsen

We get a vibe check on the Denver Broncos, the recap of Connor's drive chart, how TJ Lateef has helped Dana Holgorsen, his bowl destination of choice, and more.

Cole Stukenholtz and Nate Rohr join forces to recap the latest volleyball sweep and compare them to other great players and teams past and present. The guys break down football's matchup with UCLA, including how Dana Holgorsen might use TJ Lateef in the run game and whether John Butler's Blackshirts can slow down the Bruins' rushing attack. Amie Just, columnist from the Lincoln Journal Star, hops on the phone live from Los Angeles to talk NU-UCLA, and whether it would benefit Husker volleyball to lose a set or match before the postseason. Finally, a quick check on Nebraska men's and women's basketball and their season openers. Plus, all four sports play on Saturday! GBR!!!

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie will recap the game last week against USC. Emmett Johnson's brilliant performance and the epic appearance of the Blackout were overshadowed by Dylan Raiola's season-ending injury and the offensive collapse that came with it. The Husker offense was rendered ineffectual in the second half, mustering just three points after the break. Freshman TJ Lateef struggled at times, but should settle into his new role now that he has a full week of preparation. In fact, Lateef's mobility could prove a useful wrinkle for defenses who have sold out to stop the run. TJ has a strong arm, but he needs to be unleashed. That means that Dana Holgorsen also needs to be unleashed. Let's see how Nebraska responds when they go to the Rose Bowl to face the Bruins. UCLA is 3-5 but has put some interesting notches in the win column. It's time to finish the season strong! Go Big Red!

Dana Holgorsen addressed media Tuesday and said that Nebraska is “a run first team now, I guess”…and they'd have good reason to considering Emmett Johnson being 2nd in the country in rush yards with 1,002 yards on the year The o-line has been hounded all season for pass protection---and that conversation will be really interesting if TJ Lateef is able to avoid sacks at the rate that Dylan Raiola took them---but how much can you really bash Donovan Raiola and his group for the success of Johnson, especially since he looks so much better than last year? Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Connor wants to know what the thing Dana Holgorsen was talking about at today's press conference.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers had a bye week after completing the first third of the 2025 football season. The Huskers are 3-1 (0-1 in the Big Ten). This week's show is going to be an analysis/assessment of the first four games. Hoss will have scouting reports on how opponents defend Dana Holgorsen's offense. He also has a few ideas on how we can defend Michigan State when the Spartans come to town next week. The bye week for Nebraska was a day of chaos across the Big Ten, with close games seemingly coast to coast. The trio will discuss that as well and prepare you for Sparty.

Featured Musician: Karl Kingson THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.]  --------------------- 1. Nebraska Preview: Defense starts around 12:15 pm Play a weird nickelized version of the Rock Long 3-3-5 that has a 235-pound former Indiana linebacker at edge and moveable guys who like to get upfield up front. If you get them blocked up correctly there are ways to gash them. The best team to use against them would be 2023 Michigan—definitely think El-Hadi being out will have an effect. Run the QB? 2. Nebraska Preview: Offense starts at noon Dylan Raiola is a year 2 five-star but hasn't taken that next step despite Nebraska spending a lot of money to put talent around him and gave him Air Raid expert Dana Holgorsen, but they weren't that impressive vs Cincy. Their transfer OL haven't worked out, and they're not sure who's their LT. Those receivers are legit though. 3. Interview w John U. Bacon, author of The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald starts around 12:30 pm Bacon has a new book, so we have him on to talk about the haunting story of the Great Lakes' most famous shipwreck, and the lives, loved ones, and Dodge Chargers that were left behind. Pre-Order Link: http://johnubacon.com/ 4. CMU After Review starts when we're done with Bacon They put the air back in the ball. Underwood runs make the whole offense easier. CMU offense wasn't much of a test, but we got to try out the Barham at Edge thing, and want to see it transitioned to the next phase. Also need to talk about QB runs and why Michigan hasn't been able to fit them.

Nebraska's offense has scored at a very high rate this season through 3 games, but has struggled to score inside the red zone, and specifically inside the 10-yard line. Nebraska's OC pointed to the scoring rate of playoff teams last year inside the 10 and the Huskers are just behind the desired rate of 70%....which is wayyyyyy up from last year being around 40% Holgorsen was complimentary of Emmett Johnson also…he surely will be a big reason if Nebraska is to beat Michigan this weekend Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Minnie Hunt and co-host Fred Sacco open Monday Night Therapy celebrating Nebraska's 2–0 start and looking ahead to Houston Christian. They expect a comfortable win, heavy rotations, and valuable reps deep down the depth chart—more like old-school Huskers blowouts, but without running up the score. Chat touches on Houston Christian's recent rebrand from Houston Baptist, their early-season results, and why this buy game remained on Nebraska's schedule (including ties to a satellite camp in Houston). They recap the Akron rout: 41 defenders reportedly played, red-zone miscues were rare and correctable, and the defense looked aggressive. There's sympathy for punter Archie Wilson not seeing the field, but pride in the shutout. Backup QB TJ Lateef impressed with true mobility; the hosts discuss keeping him engaged in the NIL/transfer era while Dylan remains the starter and future recruits arrive. They praise QB coach Glenn Thomas's hands-on development alongside Dana Holgorsen's offensive influence. Broader themes include Nebraska's elite fan support (staying to the light show), early kickoff nostalgia, and confidence in the defensive line's growing rotation under strong coaching. They argue this staff is the best at player development since Tom Osborne, emphasize staying healthy before Michigan, and sign off with community banter and plans for a future “age-18 photo” segment.

Gary reveals a shocking revelation about Dana Holgorsen and Marcus Satterfield.
