Coach is joined by Mark Blaudschun to break down the quarterfinals and the shifting landscape of college football. Mark asserts that Miami’s victory over Ohio State was their best performance in 15 years, noting it was a "flawless" game where they committed zero penalties and zero turnovers while physically dominating the Buckeyes. The discussion turns to conference strength, where the pair agrees with Nick Saban’s assessment that the top of the Big Ten has become deeper than the SEC, with teams like Indiana joining the elite tier alongside Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. They also praise Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz for becoming the Big Ten's all-time wins leader, highlighting the irony that his team’s offense only improved after he was forced to fire his son, Brian Ferentz. Finally, they touch on Texas quarterback Arch Manning living up to the hype without the media circus, and preview the semifinal matchup between Oregon and Indiana, calling the Hoosiers "one of the more amazing stories" in the sport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Of course, the show is brought to you by their friends at G-Defy (GDEFY.com, promo code DocTalk50), Orr Law Group, and Husker Hounds. Hit subscribe on YouTube, drop a comment, and if you found the show through HuskerMax.com, Travis and Dr. Rob say thank you and welcome aboard.

Recorded: November 17th 2025 Will Compton and Taylor Lewan welcome on Robert Gallery, former No. 2 overall pick and Iowa legend, who joins the show for a raw, emotional, and deeply honest interview. He talks about growing up as a Big Ten boy, his recruiting journey, and the moment he realized the NFL was actually possible. From his Draft and Combine experience to stories about Kirk Ferentz, Warren Sapp, and JaMarcus Russell, Robert paints a full picture of life in the league during his career with Raiders. But where this episode truly hits different is when Robert opens up about the mental health battles he faced while playing. He shares what led to his retirement, the moment he hit rock bottom, and how he eventually found the strength to start helping himself. Robert walks The Boys through his Ibogaine experience, DMT trip, and the long journey toward healing his brain, rebuilding his marriage, and finding purpose through the Vet Solutions Foundation. Big Hugs, Tiny Kisses!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, 2025 – Episode 18 with Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka, and even though Nebraska had a bye week, there's no shortage of things to talk about. Even without a Nebraska game, Husker football is never off the table. Travis and Rob revisit TJ Lateef's performance against UCLA, why the timing of this bye week might actually be perfect for a true freshman quarterback, and whether fans are about to put unfair expectations on him heading into a night game at Penn State. They also talk about Nebraska–Penn State history, from classic Osborne–Paterno battles to the emotional post-Sandusky trip to Happy Valley. Then it gets big-picture: Do bowl games even matter anymore? Is it time to ditch most bowls and move to a 16, 20, or even 24-team playoff? How has NIL money created more parity and changed who can realistically compete for national titles? That leads directly into the Big Ten private equity conversation. Travis and Dr. Rob break down the proposed multi-billion-dollar deal, why some schools see it as a glorified payday loan, why Michigan and USC reportedly aren't thrilled, and what it could mean for future TV deals, revenue sharing, and the balance of power inside the conference. And yes, Iowa sneaks into the conversation. The guys compare Iowa's recent close losses to ranked teams with Nebraska's own frustrations, and Rob answers a simple question with a complicated history: under a 12-team playoff, how far away is Nebraska from getting in — and does Iowa make it under Kirk Ferentz? Along the way, you'll hear from sponsors like GDEFY shoes, Orr Law Group, and Husker Hounds.    

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return for another highly anticipated episode of the Helium Boys Podcast to discuss USC's big 38-17 win over Northwestern and a big homecoming matchup with Iowa this weekend.  Shotgun spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' to set the mood for this matchup with Iowa and head coach Kirk Ferentz, who has directly taken some shots at head coach Lincoln Riley and the Trojans in recent years. Chris spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' discussing how Saturday will be a good measuring stick for USC in terms of how far the program has come since the loss to the Hawkeyes in the 2019 Holiday Bowl.  The Helium Boys then dive into Stock Up, Stock Down from the home victory over Northwestern, which includes a lengthy discussion about numerology and fake punts as well as Ja'Kobi Lane's making a number of difficult catches. King Miller, Braylon Conley, Carlon Jones, Matai Tagoa'i, Makai Lemon and Jide Abasiri are among the other players mentioned positively while the offensive line had one of their worst performances of the season. In the second half of the show, Chris and Shotgun look at the Iowa Hawkeyes, coming off a narrow 18-16 loss at home to No. 7 Oregon. The Trojans will welcome the Iowa Hawkeyes to the Coliseum for the first time since 1976, which was a 55-0 blowout win for USC. This will be their first ever meeting as Big Ten opponents. This will be a rematch of the 2019 Holiday Bowl in San Diego where Iowa dominated in the second half to a 49-24 win.  The Helium Boys take some quick questions before Chris forces Shotgun into another strange blind ranking.
