In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods talk about week ten in the Big Ten that included No. 1 Ohio State tearing the heart out of Penn State, leaving the Nittany Lions winless in conference play heading into November. The No. 19 ranked Trojans didn't play a clean game, but it was clean enough to take down Nebraska in Lincoln. The Huskers not only lost the game, but lost starting quarterback Dylan Raiola for the remainder of the season. Curt Cignetti continues his killing spree, obliterating Maryland before Indiana's debut at No. 2 in the first College Football Playoff rankings. Looking ahead to week 11, the guys preview and pick against the spread for all of the Big Ten games including the marquee game of the weekend with No. 9 Oregon at No. 20 Iowa. The guys also discuss those initial CFP rankings and discuss UCLA suing the Rose Bowl trying to get out of its contract to play there.

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?

No player is bigger than the program—Dylan Raiola is of course a 5-star QB with lots of people following him…but he has struggles in areas of scrambling, extending plays…etc. If TJ Lateef wins the final 3-4 games..it's awkward.

This time around on Huskers Happy Hour, we contemplate a finish to the 2025 season without Dylan Raiola. The Blackout was a rousing success…except for not winning the game. After looking a little shaky when being tossed into the fire against Southern Cal, T.J. Lateef takes over at QB against UCLA in a Big 10 After Dark matchup in the Rose Bowl. The players have a mantra for it, but Emmett Johnson's explosion onto the national scene may be the best weapon for helping T.J.' find success. In any case, we have plenty to cover and may have a guest to give a rest from 100% of my voice. So pile in and fire up your comments. What do the Huskers have to do to avoid another LA sweep.
Alex and Pete breakdown Nebraska's loss to USC, Dylan Raiola's injury, and the success of the Blackout. They also discuss Hugh Freeze's firing and preview the biggest national games of Week 11.56:22 - National Discussion begins
Our weird Sunday tradition of firing coaches midseason continued as Hugh Freeze was relieved of command by Auburn, adding another school to the growing list of Power Four job openings. In this episode, we discuss where the Freeze regime went astray and who might be next for the Tigers. Plus, we talk through major breaking injury news, as Dylan Raiola is done for the year after suffering a broken fibula against USC. In addition, it looks like Florida's Dallas Wilson, Louisville's Isaac Brown and Michigan's Justice Haynes are also set to miss significant time, if not the rest of the season. We also talk through the latest Verballer Top 12 and translate the results into an updated CFP Bracket as the initial committee rankings are set to be unveiled on Tuesday night. How close will our Verballer bracket be to reality? And to close things out, a deep dive into two of Week 11's biggest games, as BYU travels to Lubbock for a top ten showdown with Texas Tech and Oregon heads to Iowa City for a matchup with Iowa.

Ohio State needed a half to return from its bye week but the Buckeyes were able to pull away from the Penn State Nittany Lions after halftime. Julian Sayin threw more touchdowns than incomplete passes, and his receiving corps continues to practice surgery on opposing secondaries.We broke down the Buckeyes' 38-14 win over the Nitts, which could have been even more lopsided had forward progress been a thing or if C.J. Donaldson had been a bit more possessive of the pigskin. We checked to see how our picks to click performed on Saturday, and we looked back to see how our final score predictions panned out. After our Penn State rewind, we looked around the rest of the B1G to see how the other teams in the conference made out over the weekend. The surprise banger was Michigan State at Minnesota. I didn't say it was a brilliant game, but it was entertaining, at least toward the end. Indiana got some initial resistance from Maryland and then blew the Terps away. USC handled Nebraska on the road, but even with an injured Dylan Raiola, it wasn't easy. Purdue also didn't make things easy on Michigan in Ann Arbor. Once again, there are plenty of intriguing matchups coming up this weekend as the Big Ten season enters its final trimester. Finally, we previewed Ohio State's visit to West Lafayette, Indiana. Weird things happen in the negative energy field at Ross-Ade Stadium, so the Buckeyes will need to overcome whatever strange contraptions the engineers at Purdue have come up with to level the playing field for their Boilermakers. We selected the players we are picking to click against Purdue on Saturday on both offense and defense and tried once again to predict the final score. We're expecting the Boilermakers to put up a battle on Saturday but the Buckeyes should prevail as long as they don't help their hosts.

As always, thanks for listening!0:20 - A comfortable win over Penn State hasn't been the norm in recent years, so the second half was a nice change of pace on Saturday. 27:40 - There was plenty of other action all around the B1G and we dive into it. 46:15 - The Buckeyes head to Indiana to take on Purdue.

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, Minnie and Fred discuss Nebraska's heartbreaking 21–17 loss to USC, focusing on Dylan Raiola's fibula fracture and its ripple effect. They condemn the “hip-drop tackle” that caused the injury and debate its legality, agreeing that the Huskers' offense faltered after Raiola went down. Minnie praises his toughness and leadership—he even tried to return before realizing the break's severity—and notes he'll have surgery but should recover in 10–12 weeks. The hosts recount the emotional “Blackout” atmosphere in Memorial Stadium, where fans unified behind the team despite the eventual loss. Fred and Minnie note how the injury disrupted Nebraska's rhythm and allowed USC to capitalize. They also discuss backup quarterback TJ Lateef, acknowledging his difficult position with limited reps but hoping his first full week of preparation will pay off. Beyond the game, they reflect on Nebraska's offensive line struggles, Matt Rhule's leadership and public persona, and fan expectations for the rest of the season. Minnie defends Rhule's long-term rebuilding approach and O-line coach Donovan Raiola, while Fred urges visible progress. The show closes with optimism for Lateef's debut against UCLA, praise for Emmett Johnson's breakout season, and faith that Nebraska's future remains “huge.”

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern Riley Sager are back in studio recapping Saturday night's USC's 21-17 comeback "Blackout" victory over Nebraska in Lincoln. It was not the cleanest game for Lincoln Riley and the Trojans, but it was an important result that was desperately needed. Now at 6-2 and 4-1 in Big Ten play, No. 20 USC's hopes of reaching the College Football Playoffs are still alive with three home games and one road trip to Eugene left on the schedule. The crew gives their thoughts on some of the key storylines from the game, including an amazing performance by walk-on running back King Miller. Making just his second start, Miller ran for 129 yards and a touchdown on 18 attempts and was the main weapon for the Trojans offense with Jayden Maiava having an off night. The defense stepped up and made plays after Nebraska's opening drive touchdown, forcing a sack/fumble that knocked Dylan Raiola out of the game and coming up big in the second half, only allowing a single field goal to the Huskers. Kicker Ryon Sayeri was also one of the stars of the evening, hitting both of his field goals including one that was just shy of 50 yards. The steady redshirt freshman from Chaminade High School has converted on 14 of his 15 field goal attempts and has been an absolute weapon for USC this season That was the Trojans second Big Ten plane ride road trip victory of the season and Riley and company have a quick turnaround, facing the 5-3 (3-2 B1G) Northwestern Wildcats Friday night in the Coliseum coming off of their bye week.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the Trojans notching an important road win in Lincoln, taking down Nebraska 21-17. Winning ugly isn't the goal, but it is much better than the alternative of losing, and with the long travel and hyped up crowd in an impressive "blackout," it was an important victory for Lincoln Riley and his squad. Coach Hyde talked about how necessary this win was for USC, going against a traditional power, a Big Ten foe that was looking for revenge after losing in the Coliseum last year, and a fan base that looked at the game as the biggest event in the state. The Cornhuskers were all in and in year's past, the Trojans likely don't win this game but Saturday night, despite not playing particularly well, USC pulled off the win. With another impressive performance by running back King Miller, Coach Hyde feels this team's identity is the run game, helped by a constantly shifting offensive line and some great tight end play. The Trojans can run the ball and that was essentially the only offensive aspect that was working Saturday night in Lincoln. Defensively Coach Hyde feels they played better, with full knowledge that Nebraska was limited offensively especially in the second half when Dylan Raiola was knocked out of the game. Coach Harvey Hyde has been part of the Peristyle Podcast since 2008 and in the USC football world he is an expert on X's and O's, personnel, coaching philosophies and recruiting.

Offense vs Purdue Starts at :57 This podcast starts out telepathically but then Brian's intrusive thoughts got telepathed so it had to stop. Dave introduces the Snack of the Week. Would you rather talk about this game or Dunkaroos? Bryce Underwood - not good in the first half. A fumble on the sideline is usually harmless unless it involves the silliest rule in football. His scrambling was good but you can't build a business in this industry by scrambling, that will get you killed against Ohio State. Too many missed passes, he doesn't really settle in. By the Georgia game, JJ was probably where Bryce is now - many mistakes but you can see the talent. On the flip side, the offensive line had a great game. Purdue loaded the box but Jordan Marshall rushed for 185 yards anyways. You can't tackle him with just one guy, he will emerge from piles. This is the fourth straight game where Sprague has been incredible. Bryson Kuzdzal had some nice runs on the game-sealing drive. Tight ends were fine, more catches by Zack Marshall. There's not a lot of separation between Marshall and Klein. Semaj had way fewer snaps, Goodwin saw more time. You have six 2nd or 3rd year players on this offensive line that can absolutely play in this conference. The future of the offensive line is bright. 2. Defense vs Purdue Starts at 41:43 How do we even feel about the defensive performance? We've seen Purdue all season be an offense that moves the ball down the field but can't score. That happened but it felt bad. Cam Brandt was too far upfield on a couple big run plays. Why are the good defensive ends not on the field for 70% of the snaps that they should be out for? Why are the starters rotating out so much throughout the game? Assuming he's healthy, do you put Jaishawn Barham at DE or LB against Ohio State? Michigan didn't commit to a position for him and it's hurting his play. Way fewer three defensive tackle sets, yay. If your name is going to be "Michael Jackson" you need to go by "Mike". Jyaire Hill got sealed a couple times but was otherwise fine. The endzone DPI was DPI. Metcalf got sucked in during the touchdown. 3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:06:04 Takes hotter than the amount of trouble Jason would get into if he did the Hot Takes voice at a golf tournament where he was during recording. Michigan has not been good at Special Teams Things, why are they running kickoffs out of the middle of the endzone? Another punt that Semaj didn't field that gave up 20 yards. Did Jay Harbaugh have a heat map for punting? We've never had to talk so much about shield punting positioning but now we have to. Clock management at the end of the first half was pretty on-point. Purdue's 4th down decision making was aggressive which you do if you want to try to win the game. Shout out to Michigan fans for feeding energy back into the team in the 4th quarter. The students did the shirtless thing that's become a college football thing. Also shout out to Barry Odom for getting the Purdue bench fired up. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:28:22 Indiana 55, Maryland 10 This is a typical Indiana game these days. Indiana's offense is a machine. The defense is... also a machine?? Every week, Indiana has some weird defensive stat that's historical and worth tracking. Mendoza threw and interception on his first play, the game was wobbly for about a quarter. Ohio State 38, Penn State 14 Briefly competitive in the 2nd quarter. Penn State is the first top five team in the history of college football to lose five straight games. Julian Sayin had 14 yards per attempt. Ohio State finally catches a break and gets an obvious targeting call to not get enforced. Minnesota 23, Michigan State 20 (OT) MSU benches Aidan Chiles for Alessio Milivojevic. The Spartans lose this game despite outgaining Minnesota by about 160 yards. The final two minutes of this game are worth watching. Northwestern QB Aidan Chiles?? Alessio had a better EPA than Chiles any other game this season. USC 21, Nebraska 17 If you like offense, don't look at this game. We are suddenly having feelings about Wink Martindale. Dylan Raiola is done for the season and USC is able to grind out a win. Raiola's backup went 5/7 for 7 yards. Illinois 35, Rutgers 13 A solid victory for Illinois, most of Rutgers' yards are when it was 35-6. Bert: "I put us as good as any 6-3 team out there. That doesn't mean anything." Bowl eligible in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2011. Illinois is the new Wisconsin.

Nebraska took a 14-6 lead into halftime but couldn't capitalize on good opportunities in the 3rd quarter—getting an interception at USC's 34-yard line resulted in a sack-fumble and injury to Dylan Raiola a few plays later, and another drive that started on their own 47 yard line ended in a missed FG The injury to Raiola is the story of the 2nd half and injuries on the o-line also, but it doesn't negate the disappointment of blowing what was a phenomenal opportunity to break the streak vs. ranked teams….as USC struggles on the road in the cold, but got it done Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur 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

We're back after a busy Halloween weekend! We break down Nebraska's 21-17 loss to USC and the season-ending to Dylan Raiola. We also update a couple of incidents that happened in Lincoln during Halloween weekend. And we adjust to falling back to standard time!
The Huskers lost more than the game Saturday night, losing sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola for the remainder of the season with a broken fibula. The Trojans spoiled a special night for the Huskers, coming from behind twice to win 21-17. And they did it in ways we expected, by running the ball at our defensive front and by taking away Nebraska's big plays. While an early three and out for the Blackshirts turned into a long drive and a touchdown, and while the home team went into the locker room at halftime up 14-6, an empty and fruitless third quarter allowed SC to get back into the game. When we burned two timeouts in the third quarter, the second on a 4th and 1 where we didn't go for it AND missed a field goal, the electricity left the stadium and even the fourth quarter light show couldn't bring it back. The Huskers we knew were gone. And on top of all of that, we have a started quarterback out for the year and a freshman quarterback who will need to grow up quickly, as we have three games left and none of them are named Akron or Houston Christian. But regardless...Go Big Red...Always.

Tap “Follow” so we're always in your queue, and leave a quick review to help more Husker fans find the show. This week, we start with the Saturday night roller coaster in Lincoln. Nebraska had USC on the ropes at halftime, and Travis was ready to declare it Matt Rhule's signature win… until the second half flipped. We dig into the turning points: Dylan Raiola's third-quarter exit, why Nebraska's run fits unraveled, and how a defense that held USC to 337 total yards still surrendered the game on the ground. Dr. Rob walks through the trenches: the interior getting knocked back, contain issues on the edge, and what that means in a Big Ten built on downhill football. Quarterback talk is unavoidable. Raiola isn't the problem — but does TJ Lateef's mobility unlock a different ceiling for this offense? We kick around what a full week of starter reps could look like for Lateef, what the receiver room needs to do to separate, and the difference between “better play-calling” and “good play-calling.” On the bright side: Emmett Johnson keeps carrying the load (29 carries, 165 yards in this one) and is tracking toward an All–Big Ten season. Then it's the stretch run: UCLA, Penn State, and Iowa. Which is the most winnable game — and why are the guys circling Penn State on the road? Rob resets expectations (seven wins feels like the realistic new baseline) and pinpoints the line play improvements from Evans at center and the one-and-done boost from Rocco Spindler — plus where tackle remains a concern. Would a dedicated tackles coach help? (Cue the Brian Ferentz-as-OL-coach debate and a few memes.) We also tackle the “blackout” conversation. Production value? A+. The look? Eerie and cool. But do alternate uniforms move the needle when you're not stacking wins? Travis argues it's a gimmick fans love but recruits don't care about in the NIL era — wins matter most. Agree or disagree, the crowd delivered. From there we zoom out to the national picture: the coaching carousel spinning, big-name jobs opening, and why stability in Lincoln still matters. Rhule's extension makes sense, but staff self-scouting has to be ruthless. Want to build sustainably? We go deep on recruiting philosophy with a Bill Bush-inspired segment: the #1 trait is competitiveness — grit — not just measurables. It's why some overlooked kids become program pillars while five-stars fade. That launches a lively sidebar on in-state QB recruiting (hello, Braylon Warren), relationship equity, and why you still offer your best local players even if the depth chart is crowded. We even sneak in some winning football: Augustana is 9-0 and sitting pretty in its super region despite injuries — Rob's rocking the powder-blue lid and explains DII regional calculus like a pro. Speaking of lids, we commiserate about $50 hats and why the right one is worth it. Shoutouts to the folks who keep this free for you: Orr Law Group — litigation, estate planning, NIL savvy and more.

Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson of Husker247 turn the mics on Sunday morning to discuss the Huskers' loss to No. 23 USC on Saturday. The guys start the podcast by discussing decisions in the second half as USC came from behind to win the game. Offensively, why was Nebraska never able to maintain rhythm in the game, and how did a key sequence in the third quarter swing things? Defensively the Huskers held USC's high-powered offense to 21 points and was especially effective against the pass. Can the Huskers find something — anything? — in the run defense at this point in the season? Later, what does Dylan Raiola's injury do to Nebraska's week leading into UCLA and how does Nebraska approach its offensive tackle spot with Elijah Pritchett also questionable?

On this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, the boys look back on the hard-fought win over Northwestern, which featured a spectacular kickoff return for a TD by Kenneth Williams that ended up being the difference in the game. Emmett Johnson was the workhorse on offense, and per usual, the referees missed calls, and made weird calls, which enabled the Wildcats to erase a two-score deficit in the 3rd quarter. After a fantastic drive engineered by Dylan Raiola, the Big Red scored the go ahead touchdown with 2:44 to play. Northwestern had a chance to convert on 4th down deep in Husker territory, and for one, the good guys didn't draw the short straw on the final defensive play, and went on to become bowl eligible in October for the first time since 2016. Join Coach, Justin, Scott and Ken as they recap the game, and then turn their attention to the big time night contest coming up next week in Memorial Stadium against the 23rd-ranked USC Trojans. #Nebraska #Huskers #Football #Northwestern #USC Want to grab some GenRed Merch?

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return off the second bye week to form the Helium Boys Podcast in anticipation of No. 23 USC's big road game against Nebraska where a sold out crowd is expected for the "Blackout" game. It's no surprise that both hosts spend their 'Two-Minute Drill' talking about the trip to Nebraska. Shotgun shares his vehicle drama on his last trip to the state while Chris opines on this being his No. 1 road trip of the 2025 season. There is no Stock Up, Stock Down without a game this past weekend so the podcast jumps right into a quick preview for the Cornhuskers, looking at their run defense, quarterback Dylan Raiola and much more. The Helium Boys wrap up with a limited number of questions as well as some Take It or Leave It, which includes freshman quarterback Husan Longstreet, USC's All-Big Ten future selections and new potential starters out of the bye. Shotgun takes on a whole slew of topics in the Overtime period from Kool-Aid, Rainforest Cafe and TV dinners. This will be just the seventh time these two programs have met all-time with the Trojans undefeated at five wins and a tie. This will be the first meeting in Lincoln since 2007.

Rhule again was complimentary of Dylan Raiola bouncing back from the interception and leading the go-ahead TD drive in the 4th quarter, and was pleased with the running game…what did he have to say about USC? Any injury news at all? Did he address being bowl-eligible again prior to November or not?

We dissect how Matt Rhule's team is evolving, how Dylan Raiola is progressing, and what to expect when the Huskers line up against Lincoln Riley's explosive Trojans offense. We kick off with a Northwestern recap — the refs, the big momentum swings, and the performances that defined Nebraska's bowl-clinching win. Then we turn to offensive development: Emmett Johnson's rise, improved OL play, and Raiola's smarter reads under pressure. From there, we go deep into the USC matchup — how to handle Riley's spread attack, control the tempo, and where the Huskers can win up front. The crew wraps with prop bets, score predictions, and listener shout-outs (Julie, you're officially part of the show).

Offense vs Michigan State Starts at 1:05 They watch games in Craig's garage but to be clear it's a very nice garage. This game means different things based on if you're from Michigan or not. This game is like "Jerry Springer: the Rivalry". Michigan went back to the 2023 "we can just run the ball and get away with a win" gameplan. 'Road Bryce' seems to be a real thing. Every time they show Jonathan Smith he looks like he doesn't want to be there. Should there be an ingrained hatred of Michigan if you're going to be the head coach at Michigan State? Bryce doesn't have a good game but both backs go for over 100 yards. Bryce looked great last week, what happened? Or is this just the case of a true freshman in a road environment again? Sprague and Guarnera had great games, El-Hadi maybe not so much? The pieces for the 2026 offensive line may already be in place. Let's talk about Semaj... We're mostly out on Semaj, do you bench him now for his own good? Jordan Marshall: runs through guys and runs through guys. The Crippen high snap was unfortunate. Can anyone play fullback better than Max Bredeson? [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defense vs Michigan State Starts at 59:04 We've been down on Wink but this was a good game for the defense. You can't take much on this based on the performance of the opposition. Chiles was awful in a vacuum, Michigan was not forcing his problems. Hillman had a really good game, he's been given a lot of criticism but this was a chaotically good game. Jimmy Rolder was a little bit of everywhere, he's a playmaker now. Derrick Moore is pretty good, he should start! Everything around the defensive tackle position is fine but we're used to a defense designed around great defensive tackles. Defensive backs should have as equal right to the ball as wide receivers. 3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:26:57 Takes hotter than the bacteria and/or virus that really got up in Brian's business this week. Glue the hat and pants on, Michigan State's not getting the trophy back. Some of us don't think that guy was off-sides... or was he? The hold on Crippen is not even remotely a hold. If that's a hold then we need to talk about Jaishawn Barham. Why are we accepting a fair catch on the 20?? We are out on J.B. Brown as special teams coordinator. Hollenbeck had a nice game at least. Semaj gets run over by Goodwin?! Should they have taken a shot in the endzone before the end of the half? 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:51:10 Rutgers 27, Purdue 24 The Purdue QB catches his own pass and spectacularly hands the game over to Rutgers in dramatic fashion. Rutgers gets yards, not points. Purdue wins a game they probably shouldn't have. This game kind of saved Rutgers' season, they could potentially compete with Penn State for bowl eligibility. Nebraska 28, Northwestern 21 Northwestern outgains Nebraska and Dylan Raiola was un-inspiring. That said, Raiola was still the better QB. Northwestern always seems to find the worst QB in the portal. Nebraska seems to think they can solve their offensive line problems with the portal but they can't. Indiana 56, UCLA 6 There was a pick-six a minute into the game and that's all she wrote. Last year Indiana was a fun story, this year THEY'RE SCARY. Washington 42, Illinois 25 Road Washington is a thing. The worst roughing the passer call we've ever seen is in this game. Could Oregon be a play-in for a playoff spot for Washington?? Oregon 21, Wisconsin 7 Wisconsin doesn't get shut out three games in a row! All things considered, the Wisconsin defense is playing their hearts out. Iowa 41, Minnesota 3 Iowa had 274 total yards. How do you get 41 points on 274 total yards? It's Iowa. We need a Floyd of Rosedale pose on touchdowns in this game. Playoff Iowa??? No, that's silly.

It was another low scoring first half with Nebraska leading, 7-6----then Kenneth Williams returned the opening kickoff of the 2nd half for a TD---another TD made it 21-6…but Northwestern somehow got this game tied at 21-all Then, a terrible INT by Dylan Raiola…a big INT by Javin Wright…and a long drive with 4 3rd down conversions helped the Huskers to a much-needed 28-21 win and a guaranteed bowl game. How will they play in November?

We have some interesting QB stats for one Dylan Raiola.
Husker247 HypeCast returns with a packed show as former Husker Todd Peterson joins as this week's guest to talk about the Huskers, an extremely important game against a tough Northwestern team and if they used Robert's Rules of Order during player's meetings in the Bill Callahan era. The group discusses Nebraska's offensive situation and what Dana Holgorsen has to do to mitigate issues up front while keeping Dylan Raiola in a rhythm and then if Nebraska's defense can find a way to get pressure on Preston Stone after an ugly showing in Minneapolis. Then there's the picks to click, the oddly specific predictions with a tribute to our favorite pizza slinging offensive lineman and score predictions. Does the esteemed group think Nebraska can bounce back? To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli has expressed many times this year that he's “annoyed” by Raiola---because he doesn't think he's a fundamentally sound player and is wasting having one the most talented arms in the country Fornelli writes that some of the sacks he takes are products of his desire to make a play happen off-script; and also, instead of moving up in the pocket, he moves backwards or tries to roll to his left/right, only to end up in the arms of a defender Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur 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/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Dive into our early breakdown of the 2027 NFL Draft class for dynasty fantasy football, spotlighting blue chip prospects like Jeremiah Smith, the Ohio State wide receiver who's drawing comps to Julio Jones and AJ Brown for his size, athleticism, hands, and contested catch ability. We rank the top ten guys, from Cam Coleman's contested catch radius and George Pickens-like ball skills at Auburn to Ryan Williams' body control and after-the-catch elusiveness at Alabama, blending DeVonta Smith twitchiness with Jameson Williams speed and Garrett Wilson route running. At quarterback, Julian Sayin's pinpoint accuracy and smart decisions shine at Ohio State, while Dylan Raiola brings Patrick Mahomes mannerisms, arm talent, and pocket movement to Nebraska, reminding us of a cleaner Baker Mayfield. Running backs get love too, with Ahmad Hardy's contact balance, tackle-breaking power, and burst leading Missouri's ground game after his UL Monroe transfer, plus Fluff Bothwell's yoked build, squat strength, and Javonte Williams-style movement at Mississippi State. We hit on Bryant Wesco's route running and Tee Higgins upside at Clemson, alongside Nick Marsh's contested catch prowess and Keon Coleman red zone threat at Michigan State. From NFL scout buzz to dynasty trade strategies, like swapping 2026 picks for 2027 gold, this episode gets you ahead on these creme de la creme talents before rankings shift.
