Dylan Raiola is known for a lot of things, but he's also known as No. 15—and lots of jersey sales have been made with that number It didn't used to matter when players couldn't make money off their own likeness, but now they can…the single-digit number is a big deal in terms of team leaders, but as players continue to build their brand…do they really want to change numbers?

For the first time in what seems like forever, Nebraska is coming off a bowl appearance. Matt Rhule continues to reshape the program and Dylan Raiola enters his sophomore season hoping to improve on what was a solid freshman year. Will the Huskers actually make it a streak of bowling this year?
USA Today's Matt Hayes wrote a column about Nebraska and pointed out that Dana Holgorsen QBs have averaged 31 TDs per season (passing) since 2016…keep in mind that Raiola threw 13 TDs in his freshman year Examples of the QBs who took huge leaps in their 2nd year under Holgorsen? Case Keenum (44 TDs), Geno Smith (42 TDs), Will Grier (37 TDs), and Clayton Tune (30 TDs).

We determine if Dylan Raiola can have a breakout season from a statistical perspective.
Rhule spoke to media after the scrimmage (not open to the media or public to watch), and said the offense was “really, really, really efficient”…that's for the listener to decide if that's fantastic for the offense or concerning for the Husker defense Rhule said the QBs were good and Dylan Raiola has been good all camp in general…what else from Saturday?

The Five Heart Podcast returns with hosts Greg and Minnie welcoming fall camp and counting down three weeks to Nebraska's season opener against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium. They discuss enduring Phoenix heat, fun experiments like cooking eggs on sidewalks, and then shift to Husker volleyball news. Nebraska is ranked No. 1 in the preseason AVCA poll, and former head coach John Cook has been named co-owner and GM of the Omaha Supernovas in the newly merged U.S. professional volleyball league. Football talk centers on new defensive coordinator John Butler, praised for his no-nonsense style, high standards, and commitment to playing talented transfers like Marquise Watson-Trent. Defensive line prospects Riley Van Poppel and Elijah Judy are highlighted as successors to Ty Robinson and Nash Hutmacher. The hosts discuss fall camp limitations—only nine full-pad practices—and Butler's emphasis on fundamentals and communication. The conversation turns playful as Greg challenges Minnie's tendency to compliment other Big Ten teams, sparking humorous “fan treason” debates in the live chat. They also touch on quarterback Dylan Raiola's potential, cutting turnovers, and team conditioning. As always, the Holger Maniacs in chat provide lively side commentary, making the episode a blend of football analysis, Husker pride, and good-natured banter.
-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. Can he elevate further under Dana Holgorsen and with Dylan Raiola?-Also, Nebraska volleyball picked No. 1 in preseason AVCA Coaches Poll…no pressure, first year head coach Dani Busboom-Kelly!Show sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Gary looks ahead to see if Dylan will be the best husker player on the team by the end of the season
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. Expect hot takes, stat math, and plenty of disagreement on whether Raiola's arm will carry Nebraska to the Big Ten title game. Do you think Dylan Raiola clears 3,400 yards in 2025?

The hosts analyze the tight end depth chart and speculate on replacements like Carter Nelson. Throughout the show, Greg and Minnie engage in their trademark banter—debating everything from Nebraska's chances in the season opener against Cincinnati to Minnie's perceived affection for Illinois and P.J. Fleck (much to Greg's playful disdain). The chat erupts with laughter and inside jokes, from clearance wine and beer reviews to calls for Minnie's “Husker loyalty” to be put on trial. Minnie also shares her experience interviewing Dylan Raiola at media days and discusses Nebraska's newest talent, including the promising defensive end Williams Nwaneri. Wrapping up, the duo tease future Five Heart Theater skits and remind fans that the season is just around the corner.

No one from Nebraska made the list for CBS Sports, but the question remains…is there someone that has the most to prove this season? Is it as simple as Dylan Raiola? Or is it someone on defense?

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.

It's Husker fantasy draft time, and things got real spicy right out the gate.

In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, hosts Greg and Minnie recap Minnie's recent experience attending Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas. It was her first time attending, and she offered a behind-the-scenes look, sharing anecdotes about mingling with media members, seeing Nebraska's contingent up close, and even getting a question in to Iowa's Kirk Ferentz. Minnie enthusiastically shared her impressions of the event, including her admiration for the charisma of coaches like PJ Fleck and Matt Rhule—though her praise for rival coaches earned her some humorous accusations from Greg and the chat of entering the “fan transfer portal.” She admitted to clapping for Matt Rhule (a media no-no) and asked Dylan Raiola if he's still boxing, which he confirmed. Other highlights included: Minnie reporting that Matt Rhule spoke highly of the current team, even referencing Scott Frost in an unexpected way. Discussions about Nebraska's favorable schedule, the team's playoff hopes (with Minnie boldly giving them a 9.5/10 shot), and concerns about the running back room depth. A spirited back-and-forth over Big Ten vs. SEC conference scheduling, with both hosts agreeing the SEC should move to nine conference games. Side tangents on Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne's passing, 80s nostalgia, and dream rivalry matchups. Promotion of Minnie's Sunday YouTube show “The Ladies of College Football.” The show wrapped up with jokes about Minnie possibly betraying the Huskers, plenty of chat-room teasing, and a promise to return for preseason predictions before Nebraska's opener.
