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?

Tomorrow is gameday for Nebraska in Kansas City…outside of Dylan Raiola, who is the most important player for the Huskers to get off to a 1-0 start? Dana Holgorsen said Cincinnati's Dontay Corleone caused serious problems for his Houston team in the past…are you confident in Nebraska's ability to contain him with their offensive line? Kyle Cunanan has won the placekicker job…do we know how big of leg he has and how far Nebraska might trust him from?   Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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

Dylan Raiola is walking into Lincoln with little to no Heisman hype — can he actually sling it for 3,400+ yards in this season? The Junkies break down a bold stat line prediction for Dylan Raiola's freshman season — and whether he can reach 3,400 passing yards in 2025. If he does, it would be the second-highest total in Nebraska history. They dive into how realistic that number is based on Nebraska's offensive scheme, Raiola's talent, the O-line situation, and the weapons surrounding him.Matt Rhule's game management style, Dana Holgorsen's long-term plans, and the strength of Nebraska's running game all come into play in the over/under discussion.

Shorts leads a WR unit that looks pretty solid on paper for the stats coming in from Dane Key, Nyziah Hunter and Jacory Barney among others…the cabinet is definitely not bare there What helps separate a WRs coach from others who have been here before? What can he do to make Jacory Barney excel even more than he did in his freshman year? In terms of what could be asked today…how does everyone mesh together in a Holgorsen offense?

Sip mentioned yesterday on the airwaves---Holgorsen has been a head coach or OC for 19 seasons and has had his teams rank in the Top 25 of total offense 14 times, and in the Top 25 of scoring 12 times—including 7 times in the Top 10 As pointed out by Sean Callahan on the show yesterday, he's also never coached a full year in the B1G, which historically has better defenses than the conferences that Holgorsen has coached in. How much more difficult is it the achieve that stat in this league and is it possible with the talent on the offense? Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur 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!

Cole Stukenholtz & Nate Rohr look ahead to the 2025 season through the lens of the tight end position.

Cole & Nate also give their picks for the most important game of the upcoming football season. GBR!!

David Pollack talked about the Huskers' situation on the See Ball Get Ball podcast and said that Raiola's ceiling is still high but he needs to eliminate negative plays like the 12 INTs he had last year, and going backwards in the OT loss to Illinois Pollack pointed out Raiola held on to the ball too long at times last year, tried to throw “hero balls,” and took some ill-timed which Holgorsen can help clean up with better coaching and better play calls in general 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 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. This is a can't-miss conversation for any diehard Husker fan!

Join us for an exciting episode of the Five Heart Podcast as we dive deep into the topic, “Nebraska's QB Dylan Raiola: Will He Thrive or Fail in His Sophomore Year?” Engaging with our passionate chat group, “The Holgormaniacs,” we'll analyze the lessons Dylan learned during his freshman year. With a revamped receiving room for 2025, the pressure is on for Raiola as he adapts to an aggressive game plan designed by new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and talented wide receivers coach Dakiel Shorts Jr. We'll discuss how these changes might shape Raiola's performance and what we expect from him moving forward. But who is Dylan Raiola? Born on May 9, 2005, he comes from a football legacy—his father, Dominic, was a standout center at Nebraska, later becoming a Pro Bowler for the Detroit Lions. Dylan's journey has taken him from high school in Texas, Arizona and Georgia to a commitment with Ohio State and Georgia before finally choosing Nebraska. We'll also touch on his connections to NFL stars like Patrick Mahomes and Matt Stafford, as they mentor him in his quest for greatness. Additionally, we're excited to introduce a segment called “Turf Wars,” where hosts Greg and Minnie will compete in a design challenge inspired by Lincoln's Memorial Stadium. The Holgormaniacs will play a crucial role in determining which design they prefer, adding an interactive element to tonight's livestream.
