-The first half was fairly entertaining, with Iowa taking a 24-16 lead into the break---then Nebraska failed in all 3 facets of the game with turnovers on special teams and offense, and a leaky defense was too much to overcome-For a fanbase who likes to mock the offense of Iowa, 40 points given up at home is another kick in the pants. But---one positive---Emmett Johnson was once again sensational, with 29 carries for 217 yards and a TD. But that's about where the positives end.Show sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* 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
Emmett Johnson was a one-man wrecking crew, racking up 217 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough as Nebraska lost to Iowa 40-16 on Black Friday. Truly, a dark day indeed. Amidst the loss, freshman quarterback TJ Lateef suffered a tear in his hamstring, making him one-dimensional as a player. That led to 9 of 24 passing for an anemic (but nice) 69 yards. Many of TJ's passes were errant, often overthrown. This was a cataclysmic failure from top to bottom. Iowa hasn't changed their style of football since football was invented. There should have been no surprises. Yet Husker fans were indeed surprised by how non-competitive the game was. The team lost, badly. And it comes down to one of two (or both) reasons. A) Either we don't have the personnel to compete with Iowa (IOWA!!!) or 2) We don't know how to coach up the plyers that we have and get them prepared. Matt Rhule said after the game that he was "pissed off." Imagine, Matt, being a lifelong fan and watching this on-field performance. Or even being a fan for the last 20 years. Let the weight of off-season championship after off-season championship hang around your neck for a few decades and then watch as a team that was supposed to "take a leap in year three" win one more regular season game in what was supposed to be among the easiest schedules in the Big Ten. If you're "pissed off," Coach Rhule, how are we supposed to feel? Anyway...the guys break down the game.

In the Husker Doc Talk Podcast 2025, Episode 19, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka hit the reset button for new listeners and long-time fans alike. After more than 20 years together behind microphones and 13 seasons of this podcast, they remind you what you're signing up for: football, beer, history tangents, and brutally honest Husker talk. The guys crack into a “three-beer podcast” (that might quietly become a four- or five-beer show) featuring local favorites from Kros Strain Brewing and a deep dive into Pliny the Elder – yes, both the beer and the Roman author. Along the way, you'll get craft beer notes, a quick Roman history lesson, and the usual Viking jokes at Dr. Rob's expense before they shift into full football mode. Nebraska's 37–10 beatdown at Penn State takes center stage. Was this the worst performance of the year, or does Minnesota still hold that crown? Travis and Dr. Rob break down why pointing fingers at the quarterback is lazy analysis. They put the spotlight where they believe it belongs: on the offensive and defensive lines, development versus recruiting, and whether Nebraska has slipped backward on defense after losing Tony White and Terrence Knighton. They also dive into T.J. Lateef's outing, how he compares to Dylan Raiola, and why the real issue isn't under center. Emmett Johnson's monster season and quiet Heisman push get a serious look. Is he the best running back in the Big Ten, and what would he look like behind an elite offensive line? The guys talk NIL math, draft grades, transfer portal temptations, and whether Emmett's future is in Lincoln, the NFL, or somewhere chasing a national title. Then it's rivalry week: Iowa vs. Nebraska on Black Friday. Travis explains why Hawkeye fans are strangely comfortable living in the 7–8 win world of Kirk Ferentz, while Dr. Rob shocks everyone by actually picking Iowa to win—and to score on both defense and special teams. They break down Iowa's run game, their shaky passing attack, and how Nebraska should defend a team that can't throw it deep. There's even time for some national drama: Lane Kiffin's flirtation with LSU and Florida, the insanity of coaching expectations in places like Baton Rouge, and why Ole Miss might actually be Kiffin's best long-term play.

Cole Stukenholtz & Nate Rohr recap Nebrasketball's 3-0 week, including a 105-99 comeback win over Oklahoma in Sioux Falls, and wins over New Mexico and Kansas State in Kansas City. Wilson Moore, Husker Hoops writer at the Omaha World-Herald, joins the guys from KC to react to how Hoiberg's squad got the job done. Wilson also forecasts NU's place in the Big Ten pecking order early this season. Cole & Nate then breakdown the football matchup with Penn State. TJ Lateef makes his second start, Emmett Johnson has two more games to make a push for the Doak Walker award, and the Blackshirts face a two-headed rushing attack. Volleyball clinched a share of the Big Ten championship, and they can claim it outright Saturday with three matches left before the NCAA Tournament. Finally, the guys give their takes on Dayton Raiola's decommitment, women's basketball's hot start, and they both hope for a Chiefs victory. Happy Thanksgiving and GBR!!
The latest Five Heart Podcast opens with Greg and Minnie reacting to the major news that quarterback recruit Dayton Raiola has decommitted from Nebraska. Minnie explains that while disappointing, the move may be in Dayton's best interest given Nebraska's depth chart and limited early playing time. The hosts also discuss speculation about Dylan Raiola's future, including social-media activity linking him to Oregon, and emphasize that any decision to leave would be his choice, not fan-driven. Conversation shifts to Nebraska's offensive struggles, particularly the offensive line, recruiting challenges, and Donovan Raiola's development timeline. The hosts highlight NIL changes, Pipeline Jerky's pause, and Troy Dannen's comments on improving Memorial Stadium revenue and NIL alignment. Attention turns to upcoming on-field matters: Nebraska's matchup with Penn State, Emmett Johnson's rising stardom, and whether he should turn pro after the season. They preview Penn State's run-heavy scheme, Nebraska's defensive adjustments, and excitement around quarterback TJ Lateef, whose mobility adds a new dynamic to the offense. The episode wraps with humor, fan banter, score predictions, and another performance of Five Heart Theater, before closing with optimism about Saturday night's game in Happy Valley and the classic sign-off: Go Big Red.
You can probably pump the brakes on the Heisman talk---he certainly could be a first team All-B1G player, but an updated look at the top rushers in college football is concerning for Emmett Ole Miss' Kewan Lacy has 5 more yards than Johnson (1,136 yards) AND 19 rushing TDs for a team destined for the playoffs…and Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love has 4 more rush yards than Johnson (1,135 yards) and 14 TDs….this all compared to Johnson's 1,131 yards and 11 TDs. A great season, but probably won't end up All-American UNLESS he goes wild next 2 weeks..

Nebraska heads to Beaver Stadium for a sneaky-tough road test against Penn State, and we're breaking down every angle of this matchup. From Emmett Johnson's Heisman buzz to TJ Latif's second start on the road, this episode dives deep into what it'll take for the Huskers to steal one on Senior Day. We open by setting the stage for Nebraska vs Penn State — a game many penciled in as a sure loss back in August, but now feels a lot more winnable. The guys talk about how both teams ended up here, why Penn State has underperformed expectations, and how Nebraska is still right where most expected record-wise…just in a very different way. There's a shout-out to our bye-week crossover with Elijah Herbal, including more Raiola talk, Emmett Johnson hype, coaching staff trajectory, and a big-picture 2026 outlook. From there, we dive into the Penn State defense: heavy third-down blitz looks, surprisingly average conference stats, and key names like Dani Dennis-Sutton and Kobe King in the front seven. Then it's Penn State's offense — the freshman QB, the Allen–Singleton backfield, their middle-of-the-road production, and how Nebraska's run defense and tackling will be stressed. We talk TJ Latif's poise, the O-line's recent improvement in sack protection, and how Emmett Johnson might need another massive day to keep the Huskers on schedule. In the back half, we outline nine custom prop bets for the game (rushing yards, sacks allowed, explosive runs, third-down percentage, missed tackles, and more) and close with score predictions, spread thoughts, and over/under leans. Special teams, punt return yardage, and the Beaver Stadium environment all factor into whether Nebraska can pull off a feel-good road win. ⏱ Chapters 00:00 – Intro & Penn State game setup 03:45 – Bye-week Huskers talk Recap 04:58 – Penn State defense breakdown & blitz tendencies 07:54 – Penn State offense, run game & freshman QB 14:04 – Nebraska game plan: fast start, run game & environment 17:43 – Tracks shout-out & prop bet explanation 19:05 – Nebraska vs Penn State prop questions (9 props) 37:36 – Final predictions, spread, and over/under

The conversation shifts to the defense and how Addison Williams and the back end fit into Nebraska's long-term Big Ten title hopes before the crew turns squarely to Dylan Raiola. They break down his mid-season regression in back-to-back years, what's on the coaches vs. what's on the QB, and how much patience is realistic in today's college football.

The latest Five Heart Podcast opens with playful banter between Greg and Minnie about titles, equality, and co-hosting duties. Chat participation quickly heats up, leading to jokes and light teasing. The tone stays humorous and conversational throughout. Minnie discusses her recent trip to the UCLA game, describing the Rose Bowl atmosphere and the overwhelming presence of Husker fans. Greg and Minnie agree that Nebraska's 28–21 win showcased strong game-planning, especially for freshman quarterback TJ Lateef, whose dual-threat mobility helped compensate for offensive-line struggles. They highlight the standout performance of running back Emmett Johnson, praising his elusiveness, durability, and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors. The discussion turns to injuries, offensive line development, youth on the roster, and how Nebraska's success might impact player futures—particularly Emmett Johnson's NFL prospects and the quarterback situation with Dylan Raiola and Lateef. The hosts touch on UCLA's football situation, Big Ten Media Days, NIL influence, and Matt Rhule's growing media presence.

Matt Rhule is trying to get Emmett Johnson his flowers.
We've reached Nebraska's final bye week with quite a buzz around freshman QB TJ Lateef's performance vs. UCLA…looking back at that game, what stood out most to you from Lateef? Matt Rhule is making a push for Emmett Johnson to be in Heisman Trophy consideration…he probably won't get that, but can he beat out Jeremiyah Love for the Doak Walker Award or first-team All-American? What seems like the most likely bowl game for Nebraska at this point? Is there one you personally prefer of the options?

That felt good. Yes, things got a little uncomfortable late in the 4th quarter, but Nebraska never trailed in a game they led 28-7 and held on to win at the end…thanks to a nice offensive series to finish off the game with the lead Emmett Johnson's All-American portfolio grew stronger with another big game—29 rushes for 129 yards and a TD; and 3 receptions for 103 yards and 2 TDs. An incredible individual season continues on, and how about the performance of Lateef?

Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka are back in the basement; beers cracked, mics hot, and takes even hotter after Nebraska's 28–21 win over UCLA. Travis plants a flag: TJ Lateef is the better fit for Dana Holgerson's offense than Dylan Raiola. Rob parses the nuance: different QBs, different slices of the playbook—but against UCLA, Lateef looked composed and decisive, starting 11-for-11 and finishing 13-of-15 for 205 yards and 3 TDs, plus the legs to punish a defense (31 rushing yards) when the second read wasn't there. Clean sheet, too: no turnovers, minimal penalties, and the offense stayed on schedule. The spotlight swings to Emmett Johnson, who just made himself some money: 28 carries for 129 and 103 receiving—the first Husker RB ever to hit 100/100 in a single game. The NFL loves backs who can block and catch; does Johnson jump now, chase NIL for one more season, or both? The portal/NIL realities get the full Doc Talk treatment, including how backup market value changes overnight and why some players know their next stop before they even hit the portal. Defense? The numbers say “solid,” the eyes say “still leaky.” UCLA went 8-for-14 on third down and hit a couple of chunky scrambles when the contain broke. The pass rush flashed, but Rob wants a few more of those get-off-the-field moments—turn two or three conversions into stops, and the whole night feels different. Beyond football, the guys hit Husker Wrestling—packed house vibes, Mark Manning's machine, and the AJ Ferrari showmanship question (Cal State Bakersfield version, please). Since the Huskers aren't playing next week, make plans for Saturday night! Producer Owen Justice is gigging Saturday at Reverb Lounge, opening for Ben Chapman (buy one, get one tickets—support local music!). Shoutout to Doug at Kros Strain for a clutch case drop—yes, the Cornhusker Crusher (Herbie on the can, the “correct” Herbie) makes an appearance, along with a surprisingly sippable morning “breakfast” lager—Inflatable Snowman with cranberry and cinnamon. The guys also riff on stadium beer lines and why UNL's grab-and-go needs triple the pay stations if you want fans back in seats before the next series. A bye week is up next before Penn State and Iowa, but the pod rolls on. Hit subscribe, drop your takes below, and keep the beer recommendations (and care packages) coming.
