Podcast appearances and mentions of Dana Holgorsen

Husker Online's Sean Callahan mentioned yesterday that Nebraska was 60% pass in the windy game on Saturday, and on the season is 59-41 in pass-to-run ratio November has not been kind to Nebraska in recent years, with run game issues being a problem as well as defensive issues at times…can Dana Holgorsen's offense trust the run more or can they win with being a pass first team when it gets cold and windy? Show sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* 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

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

Holgorsen was pleased with the offense (no surprise after gaining 700+ yards), BUT wants Nebraska to be better in ‘sudden change' scenarios…he was also happy to get Dylan Raiola a 300+ yard game for his own confidence, as the first 300 yard game of his college career Holgorsen also was complimentary of backup QB TJ Lateef, and of the tight end group featuring Luke Lindenmeyer…what else stood out from his press conference? 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.

 Matt Rhule said Monday he wanted to see the backup RBs get more carries than what they had against Cincinnati and that it was Holgorsen who decided on playing time last Thursday…what did the OC have to say about that yesterday? What was Holgorsen's assessment of Dylan Raiola and the new receivers in their debuts?

8 days from kickoff and excitement continues to build, as well as concern and nervousness…what if it's a high scoring game for both teams in KC? That obviously only really matters if Nebraska wins—more ammunition that Dana Holgorsen will lead this the right direction…but the big question about the defense remains….and a lot of people do think this could be a high scoring game Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Holgorsen met with media and said he was hoping to see sustained, 8+ play drives from the offense in Saturday's scrimmage, but also noted that Raiola has been making some very impressive throws and the offense has showed some explosive capabilities Can an offense be too dependent ever on big plays?

-That player? Dane Key, the transfer WR from Kentucky. Unfortunately we weren't able to see him practice on Saturday as he was in a yellow jersey and on the sideline-On3's Ari Wasserman points out that Key was “one of the most consistent WRs in the SEC in his time there,” amassing 1,870 yards and 14 TDs over 38 career games.

Butt, a former Michigan star tight end, commented on Twitter that winning close games has been a huge issue for Nebraska in previous seasons, but likes what he sees in practice---from little things like always handing the ball to the ref to save game clock, and just specifically focusing on situational football all the way through practice The crew didn't seem worried about Nebraska's DL, and raved about the potential of Nebraska's offense…they also pointed out that Matt Rhule wanted Dana Holgorsen as OC prior to last season but he wasn't ready yet for that role after being fired Show Sponsored by MIDWEST BANKOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On this special episode of Monday Night Therapy, Greg filled in for Minnie Hunt, who was away due to a family matter. Greg was joined by longtime podcast contributors Hoss Reuter and Corn Nation founder Jon Johnston for a lively, nearly two-hour conversation that felt like a “greatest hits” night for the show. The trio discussed the start of Nebraska football fall camp, highlighting the physical transformation of tight ends like Heinrich Haarberg and Carter Nelson. Hoss emphasized how the roster is finally starting to look like a legitimate Big Ten team. They also debated quarterback Dylan Raiola's potential, the new offensive system under Dana Holgorsen, and whether Nebraska can hit 40 points per game. Special teams woes from 2023 were a hot topic, as was the optimism surrounding new coordinator Mike Ekeler. John made a bold 10–2 season prediction, and the panel agreed Nebraska's offense, identity, and special teams execution will be key to success in 2025. The show closed with nostalgia, jokes about blue chew, fan comments from the chat, and a reminder of how far the program has come under Matt Rhule. It was an off-the-rails but heartfelt night for hardcore Husker fans.

Kyle Crooks chats with Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola at B1G Media Days in Las Vegas, Nevada. Topics include the expectations for the offense, areas of growth entering his second year, relationship with offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, and much more!

On this lively episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt opened by discussing her growing YouTube presence and shared excitement about launching a new Sunday night show on broader college football. She reviewed Nebraska's latest 2026 offensive line commitments, including four-star Claude Mpuma from Illinois and three-star Leon Noyle Jr. from Louisiana, prompting conversation around roster limits and the transfer portal. Minnie welcomed regulars like Husker Chuck and Fred, while Connor joined from his new Scottsdale studio to debate Nebraska's EA Sports CFB25 top player ratings and projected win totals. Connor predicted losses to Minnesota and Penn State, while Minnie and Greg leaned more optimistic, emphasizing Dana Holgorsen's potential to revamp the Husker offense. They also discussed upcoming games, ticket-buying strategies, personal memorabilia collections (like a framed Pat White photo and vintage ticket stubs), and Nebraska's red end zones debuting both in real life and in the game. A musical interlude featured a fan-made Bob Devaney tribute song from Poly Jam, which elicited both admiration and laughter. As the show wound down, the trio debated Midwest cuisine, wrapped asparagus in bacon, and relived the chaos of airport bar culture. All in all, it was a heartfelt, chaotic, and deeply Nebraska-centric hangout.

It should also be noted that Nebraska's offense by EA Sports (yes, it's the offseason—we look at all type of rankings) has the Huskers as the No.24 offense in the country---not a Top 25 defense, though Are Breakers sold that the line is going to be better and that itself will help Raiola and the offense get to a different level? Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Connor bounces his theory about the decline of college football on his "dad" Steve Sipple, his conversation with Dana Holgorsen, the pressure on the staff this year, and more.

Tom Fornelli---the king of the offseason—wrote the article, and put Nebraska's “best case” at 11-1 with the one loss at Penn State---and Dana Holgorsen heading off to be the head coach at Oklahoma State---and put the “worst case” at 5-7 That resonates pretty much with what we've said for what to expect which is right in the middle of that all at 7-5, 8-4 or 9-3…but both of those extremes would be wild Show Sponsored by MIDWEST BANKOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Holgorsen of course came in late last season to Nebraska to help its sputtering offense, and the Huskers found their way to a bowl game and won that game vs. Boston College. In Sip's convo, he was told that Holgorsen is “enjoying the heck” out of this role as the offensive coordinator How difficult is that to go from man in charge to coordinator?

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy, Greg sits in for a vacationing Minnie welcomes back fan favorite Hoss Reuter for a deep dive into Nebraska football's 2025 outlook. With just 73 days until kickoff in Kansas City, the conversation explores Matt Rhule's year-three trajectory, the state of the offensive line, and whether Dylan Raiola can evolve into the next elite Husker quarterback. Hoss shares insights from Nebraska's April coaching clinic and breaks down key position battles, praising the improved depth and veteran leadership up front. They analyze the 2024 schedule, painful losses like Indiana and UCLA, and upcoming tests against Michigan and Penn State. There's also candid discussion on former OC Marcus Satterfield, the hiring of Dana Holgorsen, and the return of the 3-3-5 defense under new DC John Butler. The duo debates Haarburg's role, the running back committee, and how Nebraska can reestablish a tough, Big Ten-worthy identity. Hoss also reflects on becoming a dad and shares offseason optimism—grounded, but hopeful—for a program still chasing its first conference title in over two decades.
