Roy calls and asks why AI can't be Nebraska's OC, Connor discusses Matt Rhule's propensity to call timeouts and whether or not Rhule needs help with game management.
In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, Minnie and Fred discuss Nebraska's heartbreaking 21–17 loss to USC, focusing on Dylan Raiola's fibula fracture and its ripple effect. They condemn the “hip-drop tackle” that caused the injury and debate its legality, agreeing that the Huskers' offense faltered after Raiola went down. Minnie praises his toughness and leadership—he even tried to return before realizing the break's severity—and notes he'll have surgery but should recover in 10–12 weeks. The hosts recount the emotional “Blackout” atmosphere in Memorial Stadium, where fans unified behind the team despite the eventual loss. Fred and Minnie note how the injury disrupted Nebraska's rhythm and allowed USC to capitalize. They also discuss backup quarterback TJ Lateef, acknowledging his difficult position with limited reps but hoping his first full week of preparation will pay off. Beyond the game, they reflect on Nebraska's offensive line struggles, Matt Rhule's leadership and public persona, and fan expectations for the rest of the season. Minnie defends Rhule's long-term rebuilding approach and O-line coach Donovan Raiola, while Fred urges visible progress. The show closes with optimism for Lateef's debut against UCLA, praise for Emmett Johnson's breakout season, and faith that Nebraska's future remains “huge.”

Tap “Follow” so we're always in your queue, and leave a quick review to help more Husker fans find the show. This week, we start with the Saturday night roller coaster in Lincoln. Nebraska had USC on the ropes at halftime, and Travis was ready to declare it Matt Rhule's signature win… until the second half flipped. We dig into the turning points: Dylan Raiola's third-quarter exit, why Nebraska's run fits unraveled, and how a defense that held USC to 337 total yards still surrendered the game on the ground. Dr. Rob walks through the trenches: the interior getting knocked back, contain issues on the edge, and what that means in a Big Ten built on downhill football. Quarterback talk is unavoidable. Raiola isn't the problem — but does TJ Lateef's mobility unlock a different ceiling for this offense? We kick around what a full week of starter reps could look like for Lateef, what the receiver room needs to do to separate, and the difference between “better play-calling” and “good play-calling.” On the bright side: Emmett Johnson keeps carrying the load (29 carries, 165 yards in this one) and is tracking toward an All–Big Ten season. Then it's the stretch run: UCLA, Penn State, and Iowa. Which is the most winnable game — and why are the guys circling Penn State on the road? Rob resets expectations (seven wins feels like the realistic new baseline) and pinpoints the line play improvements from Evans at center and the one-and-done boost from Rocco Spindler — plus where tackle remains a concern. Would a dedicated tackles coach help? (Cue the Brian Ferentz-as-OL-coach debate and a few memes.) We also tackle the “blackout” conversation. Production value? A+. The look? Eerie and cool. But do alternate uniforms move the needle when you're not stacking wins? Travis argues it's a gimmick fans love but recruits don't care about in the NIL era — wins matter most. Agree or disagree, the crowd delivered. From there we zoom out to the national picture: the coaching carousel spinning, big-name jobs opening, and why stability in Lincoln still matters. Rhule's extension makes sense, but staff self-scouting has to be ruthless. Want to build sustainably? We go deep on recruiting philosophy with a Bill Bush-inspired segment: the #1 trait is competitiveness — grit — not just measurables. It's why some overlooked kids become program pillars while five-stars fade. That launches a lively sidebar on in-state QB recruiting (hello, Braylon Warren), relationship equity, and why you still offer your best local players even if the depth chart is crowded. We even sneak in some winning football: Augustana is 9-0 and sitting pretty in its super region despite injuries — Rob's rocking the powder-blue lid and explains DII regional calculus like a pro. Speaking of lids, we commiserate about $50 hats and why the right one is worth it. Shoutouts to the folks who keep this free for you: Orr Law Group — litigation, estate planning, NIL savvy and more.

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, hosts Minnie and Fred open the “Husker Hope Hotline” to process Nebraska's humiliating 24–6 loss to Minnesota. The duo describe the defeat as one of the worst under Matt Rhule, marked by offensive line breakdowns, poor communication, and a lack of grit that contradicted the program's supposed progress. They vent about mental mistakes, ejections, and coaching failures, while debating whether offensive line coach Donovan Raiola deserves to stay given his limited success developing players. Minnie presents a chart showing years of thin recruiting and poor depth, while Fred argues the unit still lacks cohesion and leadership. The conversation shifts to NIL disparities and coaching contrasts with Minnesota's PJ Fleck, whom they credit for maximizing modest talent. They lament Nebraska's inability to execute “basic football,” questioning whether Rhule's staff can truly develop players in the modern era. The hosts defend quarterback Dylan Raiola's toughness despite constant pressure, worrying he might waste his talent behind a failing line. Still, they end on a hopeful note, recalling Nebraska's 1996 rebound after an early shutout loss, and urging fans to regroup before facing Northwestern. Despite the pain, Minnie and Fred reaffirm their loyalty to Husker Nation and each other.
What did you think of Matt Rhule's weekly presser?

Then conversation turns to Rhule and looks ahead to how Nebraska responds after a game that further exposed areas where Nebraska has to shore things up.

There's definitely stuff to talk about.
We take the temperature of the fan base after Matt Rhule's weekly press conference.
Yesterday's press conference was definitely more about Minnesota than anything from last week or Penn State, as Rhule was able to focus on the Gophers and what challenges they present and the respect he has for PJ Fleck Rhule mentioned that Minnesota QB Drake Lindsey throws up a lot of “50/50” balls that will be up to the defensive backs to go win those battles which they have the majority of the year….and he also mentioned that Lindsey doesn't run much 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/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Nebraska football rolls along even if its head coach is being treated like the consensus front runner for an entirely different job. Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson discuss Nebraska's media access on Tuesday where players and coordinators met to discuss Minnesota, the fallout from the Maryland win and even a little discussion regarding Matt Rhule's future. Conversation started with Nyziah Hunter, Nebraska's balanced passing attack, what Dana Holgorsen thinks about how the Huskers have been on that side of the ball and then weaved in chatter on defensive pressures, stopping the run and finally Dylan Raiola's comments about Rhule's future. Then Husker247 ran through Nebraska's recent woes with Minnesota and how Friday the Huskers have a chance to end a losing streak and also prove that this program is moving forward.

For the second straight week, Nebraska clawed its way back from a second-half deficit to pull out a win. Despite Dylan Raiola throwing three interceptions and the Huskers trailing Maryland by 17 points, Nebraska rallied for a 34–30 victory over the Terrapins. In this episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka break down how the Huskers found a way to win and what this comeback means for the rest of the season. But the biggest storyline emerging this week isn't just Nebraska's resiliency — it's the future of Head Coach Matt Rhule. With Penn State firing James Franklin after a stunning home loss to Northwestern, Rhule's name has quickly surfaced as a top candidate. A Penn State alum and former player, he's already being mentioned across national media outlets. Is the Penn State job truly better than Nebraska? Dr. Rob weighs in with his thoughts — and what it could mean for the Huskers moving forward.
