Expectations Rise as Huskers Gear Up for Conference Play
from Common Fan - A Nebraska Football Podcast · host T.J. Birkel, Matt Owens, Geoff Langenberg
It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk all the latest with Nebraska football. Did the win over Northern Iowa tell us anything new? Team took care of business but expects to be better moving forward. D expects bounce-back performance after less than dominant showing vs. UNI. Looking ahead to Illinois: first ranked-on-ranked matchup in Memorial Stadium since 2014. If the Big Ten West still existed, would these two teams be the early favorites for best in the Division to this point in the season? At 3-0, and with what is considered a manageable conference schedule, the expectations – and the stakes – have risen for the Big Red. Thoughts on sellout #400. Where does the sellout streak rank compared to other streaks Nebraska has had? Similarities between Rhule and Devaney. Let’s go 1-0 this week, Common Fans. All this and much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.
