-The World-Herald's Sam McKewon wrote about it yesterday, pointing out that Nebraska's offense over the last 4 years really hasn't been goodenough—especially in 2023, the first year of Matt Rhule. It did improve the last 2 years but not to the point where it is acceptable-Nebraska continues to have issues in the red zone—a big reason why they just haven't been able to pull off big wins or get to 8-9 win seasonsfor quite some time. There are lots of things to point to…but how do they get better in the red zone? Can Anthony Colandrea make thembetter?Our Sponsors:* Check out Hims and use my code hims.com/EARLYBREAK for a great deal: https://www.hims.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bret Bielema has been in the room 18 times as a head coach in the two biggest conferences in the game.This year, the room was Big Ten spring meetings in Southern California.Head coaches, athletic directors, commissioners, all in the same space, hashing out the future of the game. And what came out of Terranea this year was one the entire sport was anticipating — a playoff expansion debate that isn't slowing down, a new punt rule nobody practiced for, and a conference room full of some of the best coaches in the sport figuring out what comes next.Todd Blackledge and I brought Illinois head coach Bret Bielema on this weeks episode of Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth to break it all down, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beatHere's what stood out:* Coach Bielema wants 24 teams in the playoff — And he has receipts. He was leading a 12-1 Wisconsin team in the BCS era that got left out and that experience never left him. His argument now, is that the sport has changed too much — NIL, revenue share, roster management — for only 12 teams to have a chance at winning it all. * The punt rule landed wrong — Not because it's necessarily a bad rule, but because it showed up after spring ball, with zero preparation time. In 18 years as a head coach, Coach Bielema has never seen something this consequential arrive so late and so unannounced. * The Big Ten room itself is different — He described it with real affection. P.J. Fleck to his right, Matt Rhule to his left, Dan Lanning and Curt Cignetti in the mix. Coaches who are who they are, every single day. And above all, Tony Petitti — a commissioner who communicates before the meeting, not during it. Nobody walks in cold. Nobody gets defensive. That, Coach Bielema says, is what separates this conference right now.Then we turned to Champaign — and what's being built inside that building.48% of his roster is new and for this program to meet its expectations and recent standards they must develop a true connection with one another and that is the focus of this off-season. The way Coach Bielema guides that is what will stand out. On the field, he's as excited about his wide receiver room as he's ever been, his safeties could be among the best in the conference and quarterback Katin Houser heads into fall camp as the guy.But the line that stuck with me didn't come from the coach. It came from Houser himself, during our spring visit.“Around here, the hallways are warm.”Hope you enjoy today's conversation and we are so appreciative of the support as we continue to grow Y-Option.

In this episode, we introduce a new game called “Bed or Built,” where we take some of college football’s most repeated narratives and decide whether it’s time to put them to bed or if they’re still built to last. With the 2026 season creeping closer, we sort through the stories that have followed programs, coaches and fan bases for years, and ask which ones still make sense in the current version of the sport. We dig into Mario Cristobal and Miami, Matt Rhule’s turnaround reputation, Lane Kiffin’s chaos factor, Ryan Day’s “born on third base” label, Texas A&M’s hard ceiling, Oregon’s late-season hurdle, Clemson’s attempts to adapt, James Franklin’s big-game baggage and the difficulty of following Nick Saban at Alabama. Along the way, we get into the transfer portal, coaching hires, College Football Playoff expectations, roster-building, fan perception and how quickly old narratives can become outdated.

After a career that spanned stints in the NFL, XFL and the CFL, former Temple quarterback P.J. Walker announced his retirement earlier this month at the age of 31. The Owls' all-time leading passer joined us on the podcast this week to reminisce about his time on North Broad Street with former head coach Matt Rhule, who later became his NFL head coach with the Carolina Panthers. Walker shared stories about the 2015 win over Penn State,the last-minute drive down at UCF that saved Temple's season and vaulted the Owls to a 2016 American Conference championship, and the bonds he built with teammates like Jahad Thomas, Robby Anderson and Tyler Matakevich. And during his time with the Indianapolis Colts, Walker played for an offensive coordinator named Nick Sirianni. How does Walker view the Eagles' Super Bowl-winning but oft-criticized head coach? Find out on this week's episode of The Scoop. Intro: 0:00 – 10:22 P.J.

-As they ranked the teams in the B1G, CBS Sports had Nebraska at 10 th , saying “the Husker aren't close to joining the B1G's top tier, but thetrajectory under Matt Rhule continues to trend upward, even if some in Lincoln disagree.” Hmm…-They point out that Nebraska snapped a 7-year bowl drought 2 years ago, and last year had more conference wins than any of the previous 8years…and now the benchmark is 8 wins, done just one time since Bo Pelini was fired (2016)Our Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
