Rhule met with media after the scrimmage and said the team had too many penalties (they had a B1G ref crew in to officiate) but not the “silly, pre-snap” penalties---the aggressive ones like defensive holding Rhule also said he wants more from the backups….and while Archie Wilson had a good day punting, it didn't sound that way for kicking in what was otherwise a good scrimmage for the team… Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Austin, Dak, and Hunter break down the Husker offense ahead of the 2025 football season.
Matt Rhule says the magic formula is 40 sacks and 20 takeaways. So can Nebraska actually pull it off in 2025? In this episode, the Junkies dive into what it'll take for Nebraska to reach that all-important “40/20” defensive mark—40 sacks and 20 takeaways. This is the goal Rhule laid out when he first got to Lincoln, and hitting it has historically meant double-digit wins for teams across the country. We break down what it would take to get there: John Butler's attacking style and what it means for the pass rush How Nebraska's defensive depth at JACK, EDGE, and DB could create chaos Why opponents playing from behind may boost our takeaway numbers What chunk games like Akron and HCU will mean for piling up stats Why 40/20 might be the minimum if Nebraska wants to win 11 games You'll also hear our takes on Rhule's tone, the confidence in the defensive line, and what this means for the Big Ten race in 2025. #NebraskaFootball #Huskers #MattRhule #Blackshirts #CollegeFootball #BigTen #GBR #HuskerDefense Learn more about your ad choices.

We ask the question on everyone's mind in Husker-land today. Is Matt Rhule a social media genius? Or is it all a coincidence that guys rehabbing were seen in a video posted by the football team? AND Fred Hoiberg finally reveals his thoughts on the Jurassic Park franchise.
Rhule was complimentary of the team for a good week of practice, and mentioned players like Elijah Pritchett who is still in a battle for starting LT but looked the part; he also said he doesn't view the new LBs as newcomers anymore He said in general that position battles are a bigger thing in Week 2, so watch out for that…what else?

How surprised was he about what was to come? Were there signs along the way? And why was a Penn State win to start 2015 so key to their success?Then, Josh welcomes Sam Kahn Jr. of The Athletic to the pod (40:43) to discuss what it was like covering Rhule's Baylor years as a reporter for ESPN. What kind of program was he walking into in 2017 and how were they able to break through so strongly in 2019?

Nebraska won 5 games in Rhule's first year, and won 7 games last year with the bowl win (6-6 regular season)…does that mean that 8 wins or more has to be the expectation? And why should that scare anyone, especially with a bowl game to possibly get the 8th win? If you look at the SP+ ratings, Nebraska is favored right now to win 8 of their 12 games (only underdogs to Michigan, Penn State, USC and Iowa) Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Huskers have just 12 commits for 2026. Is Matt Rhule asleep at the wheel—or five steps ahead of the game? In this episode of the Big Red Junkies, BJ, Jed, and Matt dive into what looks like a shockingly small recruiting class for Nebraska Football in 2026. But don't panic. The crew breaks down why this shift might be more about strategy than desperation. We hit on: Why the class might stay under 16 total commits Whether roster limits or a full cupboard of young talent is driving the small size How Matt Rhule is killing it at retaining players (no mass exodus like other programs) The new reality of recruiting through the transfer portal Why events like Nebraska's Adidas 7-on-7 tournament are low-key recruiting gold How long-term relationship building (like with Williams Nwaneri) is reshaping Husker targets What the staff gets right that past regimes never did—adaptation and branding And we couldn't help but rant about the flood of Ohio State, Oregon, and Texas gear in Omaha. Husker Nation's youth movement needs a damn spark—and Rhule might be the one to reignite it.

To put it more bluntly, Ari called that attitude “soft.” Rhule and pretty much everyone else in Nebraska took offense, and it culminated in a conversation between Rhule and Ari that hopefully cleared the air. In other news, Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! reports that conference commissioners are expected to approve straight seeding for the 2025 playoff in a conference call Thursday. BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff has been accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit. It's also a Dear Andy/Dear Ari show, and you sent some great questions… Is Georgia coach Kirby Smart's philosophy of ensuring the proven players on his team make more than unproven freshmen a sound one?

Rhule was on the Husker Sports Network on Tuesday and mentioned that the final 3 games of 2024 (win over Wisconsin, loss to Iowa, win over Boston College) was the turning point the program needed---probably to prove they could win in late season games which hasn't happened for a long time. He also talked about reaction to adversity being important and that teams like Notre Dame and Ohio State had crushing losses last year and still made it to the finals…Nebraska doesn't have to let one game ruin their season.
