The Friday mailbag is back, featuring your questions as we approach the two-week point from Nebraska’s football opener at Memorial Stadium. Is there a running back on the radar to whom we’ve not paid enough attention? More talk about the sellout streak. Why did Mekhi Nelson become a topic last week? Other than football, which Nebraska teams might surpass their levels of success from last year?  Who will be the next ex-Husker to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Which ranked opponent on the 2026 schedule do the Huskers stand the best chance to beat? How do we feel about new defensive line coach Corey Brown? And is it possible that the Nebraska volleyball team has too much depth this season?  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
