Nebraska 28, Northwestern 21. The Huskers are now bowl eligible for the second year in a row and improve to 6-2 on the season and 3-2 in the Big 10 Conference.  Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss the win in the latest edition of Husker Doc Talk Podcast. Nebraska scored 14 of its 28 points off Northwestern turnovers. The Huskers also get a kickoff return for a touchdown. Despite rushing for 155 yards, including 124 from Emmett Johnson, Dr. Rob still sees some problems with the offensive line.  Speaking of Johnson, Dr. Rob and Travis think he's the best running back in the Big 10 Conference. His numbers back up the opinion, but it also shows how much Nebraska needs him if the Huskers want to keep winning.  Additionally, Northwestern rushed for 172 yards, indicating some holes and deficiencies in the Nebraska interior front.  Up next is USC. The Trojans did not play this past weekend. According to ESPN's game predictor, USC has a 72% chance of winning.

His scholarly work has been recognized with accolades, such as the Harvard ALARI Best Dissertation on an Afro-Latin American topic in 2020 and a Preservation Merit Award from Preservation Austin. Javier has been featured in numerous media outlets such as TEDx, The Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, Vice Sports, ESPN, and CNN, marking him as a distinctive voice in his arena. His dedication to shining a light on the unsung heroes who have transformed sports into a stage for empowerment and social change remains unwavering.

The Left has a meltdown about President Trump's White House renovations instead of focusing on actual issues. Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez exposed a black market being run by illegal immigrants in New York City, which led to an ICE raid on Canal Street. The Department of War carried out another lethal strike on a drug boat operated by Tren de Aragua. A federal audit discovered that under Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's watch, California awarded more than 60,000 commercial driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. The FBI made over 30 arrests, including current and former NBA players and coaches, related to a multimillion-dollar gambling ring tied to the mafia. Somehow, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith blamed it on Trump wanting revenge against the NBA. Savanah Hernandez and Matthew Marsden join the show.   ► Subscribe to “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered”! https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesUnfiltered?sub_confirmation=1    Today's Sponsors:   ► Relief Factor  Visit https://www.relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-Relief to try the three-week QuickStart for just $19.95.   ► Kindred Harvest Teas Go to https://www.kindredharvest.co and use code SARA for 20% off.
