Ryan covers the Gophers for 24/7 Sports and he joins us to preview Minnesota, where the beef between these two schools stems from, Emmett Johnson, and the PJ Fleck of it all.
Husker247 Daily takes a look at Nebraska's success on the ground against Maryland and asks if Emmett Johnson can do the same thing on Friday night against Minnesota. Johnson shouldn't lack motivation give that this game is a homecoming for the former high school recruit from the citifies. Does that take his game up a notch? Also can Nebraska get more from its backup running backs? From Dylan Raiola on the ground? Will there be a trick play or two after watching Minnesota struggle mightily to slow down Purdue.

Nebraska led 10-0 early and 24-14 at one point in the 2nd quarter, yet another poor 3rd quarter performance (like we saw vs. Michigan State) gave the Terrapins a 31-24 lead at one point, before Nebraska tacked on a FG and then the go-ahead TD with 1:08 to go in the game Dylan Raiola had 3 interceptions in the game—one a pick 6 to make it 31-24 Maryland---but battled back with a big 4th quarter…and let's make sure we give a MASSIVE shoutout to Emmett Johnson (21 carries, 176 yds; 2 rec, 20 yds) 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 Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Hear all of the post game reaction from the Huskers Radio Network Broadcast Team following Nebraska's 34-31 road win over Maryland. Including the final call and initial reaction from Kyle Crooks and Damon Benning, Ben McLaughlin joins Kyle and Damon for the 5th quarter show, Emmett Johnson joins Jessica Coody live on the field immediately following the win, then Jessica has locker room reaction from the head coach Matt Rhule, more from Emmett Johnson, Heinrich Haarberg, and Javin Wright.
The latest episode of Corn Nation Overreaction celebrated Nebraska's rise to No. 25 in the national rankings after moving to 5-1, sparking discussion about the meaning—and timing—of college football polls. Greg, Hoss, and Jake debated whether early rankings carry any real weight or simply fuel bias and conversation. They agreed that while polls are mostly meaningless until the College Football Playoff rankings appear around Halloween, they remain fun for fans and media alike. Conversation turned to speculation about Penn State's coaching future, with the crew dismissing rumors that Matt Rhule might leave Nebraska, calling it highly unlikely and illogical from either side. They also revisited the Huskers' gritty 34-31 win over Maryland, condemning a cheap shot on quarterback Dylan Raiola and praising the toughness Nebraska showed in closing out another game that past teams would have lost. Running back Emmett Johnson drew special acclaim for his 176-yard day and Ameer Abdullah-like determination, while the offensive line earned credit for its best performance of the season. The hosts highlighted defensive standouts Vincent Shavers Jr. and Kade Pietrzak, applauded special-teams coach Mike Ekeler's impact, and looked ahead to Friday's matchup with Minnesota, predicting continued improvement, a possible Emmett Johnson breakout, and Nebraska's first back-to-back road wins since 2006.

A strange team plays strange games and Nebraska has proven that to be the case in every game against Power Four opponents and Saturday's 34-31 win over Maryland was another example for the Nebraska Cornhuskers in a rare come from behind victory. The Sunday Side Session breaks down all the action as Omaha World Herald reporter Wilson Moore joins Mike Schaefer to discuss what happened in College Park and how things sit for a now 5-1 Nebraska football team. The two discuss Emmett Johnson, Nebraska's maddening inconsistencies, Dylan Raiola and more during the 50-minute podcast. Are the Huskers equipped to make a run against a schedule that looks like it's both tougher and perhaps not as difficult as expected all at the same time?

Nebraska football fans—enjoy this one. We break down the Huskers' gritty win over Michigan State and push back on the doom-and-gloom, then pivot into a full Maryland preview with matchups, game-plan tweaks, and keys to keep the momentum rolling. In this episode of Big Red Junkies, BJ, Matt, and Jed recap a chaotic, wind-whipped game that swung on defense, special teams, and late execution. We talk Dylan Raiola's decision-making, the sack discourse (scheme vs. OL), and why the front seven's surge matters going forward. Then it's on to Maryland: what the Terps do well, where Nebraska can attack, and why this matchup should favor the Blackshirts if we win early downs, protect situationally, and stay aggressive with the ball out on time. We also hit on Emmett Johnson's usage as a safety valve, Barney's return game, and the ongoing Big Ten QB arms race that's changing how games are called. Finally, we make our weekly over/unders: sacks allowed, Maryland rushing total, total yards (Raiola vs. Malik Washington), special teams TD odds, turnover battle, TFL edge, and who leads Nebraska in tackles.

The Huskers took care of business in Lincoln — now it's time to see if they can pack that momentum on the road. In Episode 7 of Kegs, Eggs & Football, the crew breaks down Nebraska's 38–27 win over Michigan State — from the blocked punt that changed everything to Emmett Johnson's breakout day and Dylan Raiola standing tall under pressure.Then we look ahead to the next challenge: a road test at Maryland. Can the Huskers stay disciplined, handle the blitz, and prove they can win away from Memorial Stadium? We're talking key matchups, trap-game vibes, and what it'll take to keep this October run alive.
What can Nebraska do offensively to make sure it hits its stride as the team gets deeper into the season and conference play? Husker247 has some answers or at least thoughts. And for the most part it starts with trying to decide what can be salvaged in the running game. Does Nebraska have a few things it can lean on with Emmett Johnson that keep the pass rushers at bay? Then Mike Schaefer and Michael Bruntz debate on if Nebraska can do more with the passing game to solve some of the running game issues as well.

Husker Nation, this one's personal. Bye week's over—now it's Sparty's turn in the woodchipper. Let's talk where Nebraska attacks and why this should be a get-right Saturday. We open with the team's mindset—no smiles, just business. Then we dive into Michigan State's offense under Jonathan Smith and a mobile QB who'll pull it down—but ball security isn't perfect and their WR room leans on just a couple guys. We hit MSU's defense: top-50 vs the run, but rough on third down and 93rd in red-zone D—exactly where Nebraska focused during the bye. We talk Huskers' red-zone/run-game fixes, the O-line shakeup watch (Pritchett chatter vs “Gunner Tool”), and why Nebraska's secondary + pass rush match up well if MSU's OL shuffles again. We also call out the sneaky special teams storyline (MSU's punter nukes the ball), then fire through prop bets on Raiola yards, RB2 carries, MSU passing total, third-down vs punt average, Emmett Johnson total yards, and which defense allows more pressure. We close with predictions: point spread, total, and whether Nebraska steps on the gas or coasts. 00:08:11 Michigan State Offense – Mobile QB, limited WR distribution, OL shuffle talk, turnover notes 00:18:31 Michigan State Defense – Run-D strength vs Nebraska's red-zone/run-game fixes; third-down issues 00:23:12 Interesting/ Funny Fact – This could be a special-teams game: MSU's punter bombs it, elite net punting 00:26:04 Prop Bets – Raiola passing line, RB2 carries, MSU pass yards vs Blackshirts, 3rd-down vs punt avg, Emmett total yards, pressure allowed 00:55:09 Predictions – Spread/total talk, why we think Nebraska rolls, style-points vs coast mode What say you, Husker Nation—do we hang 40+ or does this turn into a punter duel?

Nebraska football has found quite a few pass catchers these first few weeks, but how do they hold up when going up against Michigan's secondary? Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson talk through Nebraska's receiver room, which ones they think could be poised to have a big game and why we shouldn't forget about what Luke Lindenmeyer and Emmett Johnson can do as well.

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
HATE WEEK. We're talking how Nebraska can rock a juiced Memorial Stadium and make Michigan feel it early. Yes, we said it: punch them in the mouth. ▶ What's inside: We start with Michigan's offense—freshman QB Bryce Underwood (live arm, legit runner) and RB Justin Haynes (big-play merchant) vs Nebraska's pressure looks. We get into why Underwood's efficiency craters under heat and why NU's third-down defense could flip the game. Then Michigan's defense: the Ernest Hausmann storyline, how they blitz, where they're gettable, and why NU may need quick-game and Emmett Johnson in space instead of stubborn downhill stuff. We drop one spicy fact about Michigan's special teams quirk (punt returns) and then rip through prop bets—Raiola vs Underwood total yards, Emmett vs Haynes all-purpose, third-down battle, and who leads NU in receiving. Finally: predictions and totals.
In this episode, we're diving deep into the devy landscape with our Week 4 Risers & Fallers report. With over a month of action in the books, player values are shifting—some are surging up boards, while others are slipping fast.We go position-by-position to break it all down:
What a fun night in Lincoln---phenomenal weather and a low-stress beatdown of the Zips, aided by 9 TDs, 728 yards of offense, and a shutout---great play by the defense plus one missed field goal off the uprights and another one blocked Nebraska averaged 10.0 yards per play, Dylan Raiola was 24/31 for 364 yards, 4 TDs and no INTS; and Emmett Johnson rushed 14 times for 140 yards and 2 TDs.

Husker Nation - talk about BOOTS. TO. A**ES! Nebraska CRUSHES Akron 68-0 in the home opener at Memorial Stadium, with Dylan Raiola throwing for 364 yards & 4 TDs, and Emmett Johnson rushing for 140 yards . First shutout since 2009—728 total yards of offense! We break down the explosive plays, Blackshirts' shutdown defense, and what this means for the 2-0 Huskers heading into Houston Christian.
This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the team discusses last week's season-opening victory over Cincinnati. While the Bearcats made the game more interesting than Husker fans would have preferred, over 70,000 Nebraska fans went home happy after the final whistle blew on Nebraska's 20-17 win. The Huskers dominated the time of possession and the defense did a good job of shutting down the Cincy offense outside of some quarterback runs from Brendan "The Model" Sorsby. Dylan Raiola completed 78.5% of his passes along with two touchdowns to two Husker newcomers, Nyziah Hunter and Dane Key. Emmett Johnson rolled for over 100 rushing yards, and the defense forced two turnovers. Meanwhile, we got punts away and two field goals including a career best 52-yarder from Kyle Cunanan. Are improvements needed? Yes. But let's not pretend that we lost and the world is coming to an end. Go Big Red. Always.
Nebraska didn't really rotate away from Emmett Johnson at all vs. Cincinnati…we surely will see backups involved the next 2 games…but what about in B1G play? Nebraska's defense allowed just 69 passing yards but 200+ rushing yards…did you come away optimistic or concerned? Nebraska fans are expecting vast improvement from special teams all year…what did you think of that group through one game?

Well, it wasn't always pretty, but the Nebraska Cornhuskers are 1-0 after a 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium. The Huskers overcame an early field goal deficit to take a 13-3 halftime lead, exhibiting the ability to sustain long drives (even if they stalled at the goal line). The game featured a 100-yard rusher in Emmett Johnson and two throwing touchdowns from Dylan Raiola, but it came down to an interception on Cincinnati's last offensive attempt, as Malcom Hartzog Jr. picked off a Brendan Sorsby pass. While some red-clad fans left the game after the Huskers took a big lead in the third quarter, those who stayed were treated to a little too much excitement, as Nebraska failed to cover, but succeeded where or when it mattered most. Tonight, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will take us back to Thursday night and offer their insights in the game. And maybe, just maybe, be able to convince you that things are not "doom and gloom" in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The Huskers walked out of Arrowhead with a hard-fought 20-17 win over Cincinnati, snapping a decades-long streak of season-opening struggles. We dive into Dylan Raiola's steady debut, Emmett Johnson's ground-and-pound performance, and Malcolm Hartzog Jr.'s game-sealing interception that turned Kansas City into Husker country.Then we spin it forward, breaking down the biggest matchups on tap this Saturday across college football — from conference showdowns to playoff-shaping clashes — with the usual KEF mix of analysis, banter, and bold takes.Crack a beer, fry up some eggs, and settle in.

The new season of Nebraska football brings another season of Corn Nation Overreaction with Greg, Hoss, and Every Game Jake. The crew kicks off by reflecting on personal milestones—new babies in the family—before diving into Husker talk. They note that this offseason was refreshingly quiet compared to past years of hype, and that fans were given less access, such as no televised spring game. The hosts agree that Nebraska must prove itself on the field, not in the offseason headlines. Optimism remains strong: Dylan Raiola's development, a veteran offensive line, Emmett Johnson in the backfield, and key transfers like Dane Key, Nyziah Hunter, and Williams Nwaneri all add depth. The panel emphasizes fundamentals—winning the turnover battle, field position, and special teams—as the real keys to ending Nebraska's recent struggles. They praise new coordinator Mike Ekeler for bringing needed energy to special teams. Defensively, the group expects a deeper, more athletic roster under John Butler and Phil Snow, with creative pressures, better coverage, and young talent like Elijah Jeudy and Jordan Ochoa poised to emerge. Predictions varied from cautious to bold, but all agreed Nebraska will be more competitive and resilient. Above all: this is a team ready to fight, avoid past meltdowns, and restore Husker pride.
Mike and Matt talk about over/unders on Emmett's total yardage his season
Satterfield spoke as well as Carter Nelson and Heinrich Haarberg---both of which are intriguing to Husker fans for what they can provide this year to the offense---what does Satterfield think about that group with a week until gameday? Also, for Barthel…does he like what he sees from Emmett Johnson, and what about the guys behind him like Mekhi Nelson, Connor Booth and others?

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy on Corn Nation, host Minnie Hunt and co-host Fred Sacco welcomed an active chat audience for a wide-ranging discussion on Nebraska football. The conversation mixed humor, nostalgia, and analysis, with Fred sporting a vintage 1997 coaches pullover and reminiscing about past Husker gear. Early chatter focused on fall camp updates, the Big Red Preview, and new special teams energy under coach Mike Ekeler. They highlighted Australian punter Archie Wilson's athleticism and arm strength, as well as transfer kicker Kyle Cunanan's powerful leg. Talk shifted to offensive line improvements, with optimism about depth, continuity, and a possible Joe Moore Award bid. Jake Butt of the Big Ten Network and analyst Phil Steele both praised Nebraska's attention to detail and playoff potential, fueling cautious excitement. The duo previewed upcoming opponents, noting that most tough games are at home and only Penn State looms as a clear underdog matchup. Defensive standouts like Vincent Shavers, Marquis Buford, and Oklahoma transfer Dasan McCullough drew attention, as did running backs Emmett Johnson and breakout candidate Makai Nelson. While Minnie projected optimism, Fred tempered expectations, stressing proof on the field. The show closed with playful banter, shirt auctions, and a “Go Big Red” send-off.

Where is he right and does too much of the Emmett Johnson hype rely on the offensive line? Plus, what would a list of "five reasons to doubt the 2025 Huskers" look like?
