Critical Stretch for Nebraska Starts with Rutgers
Common Fan Podcast October 2, 2024 5:00 am
-Is officiating in college football worse than it’s ever been?
-It feels like officials are being taught to throw flags more than ever.
-Evan’s take on the Purdue game
-Defense turns back into “old reliable”
-Offense finally gets on track late in the 3rd quarter
-Disastrous special teams
-Purdue and Colorado both end up with the same final score: 28-10. Would fans prefer a hot start and coasting in the 2nd half (like Colorado), or the slower start followed by the strong finish (like Purdue)?
-Not always pretty, but Husker fans need to appreciate that the team is winning.
Plus, looking ahead to Rutgers:
-Head Coach Greg Schiano’s teams have historically blocked a lot of kicks and scored a lot of non-offensive touchdowns.
-His teams are traditionally tough and physical, but this year’s defense has had more of a “bend-but-don’t-break” approach.
-Scarlet Knights come in as the #12 rushing offense in the country.
-Huskers are likely the more talented team, but can they avoid the type of mistakes Rutgers is known for creating?
-Next two games absolutely critical for Nebraska: Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers, and Indiana represent the swing games for Nebraska’s season, and the Huskers are right in the middle of that stretch.
