The new season of Nebraska football brings another season of Corn Nation Overreaction with Greg, Hoss, and Every Game Jake. The crew kicks off by reflecting on personal milestones—new babies in the family—before diving into Husker talk. They note that this offseason was refreshingly quiet compared to past years of hype, and that fans were given less access, such as no televised spring game. The hosts agree that Nebraska must prove itself on the field, not in the offseason headlines.
Optimism remains
strong: Dylan Raiola’s development, a veteran offensive line, Emmett Johnson in the backfield, and key transfers like Dane Key, Nyziah Hunter, and Williams Nwaneri all add depth. The panel emphasizes fundamentals—winning the turnover battle, field position, and special teams—as the real keys to ending Nebraska’s recent struggles. They praise new coordinator Mike Ekeler for bringing needed energy to special teams.
Defensively, the group expects a deeper, more athletic roster under John Butler and Phil Snow, with creative pressures, better coverage, and young talent like Elijah Jeudy and Jordan Ochoa poised to emerge. Predictions varied from cautious to bold, but all agreed Nebraska will be more competitive and resilient. Above all: this is a team ready to fight, avoid past meltdowns, and restore Husker pride.
