Husker247 HypeCast: Wisconsin

Just two games left in the 2024 regular season which makes it the perfect time to get hyped for a Nebraska-Wisconsin matchup where the winner gets a bowl bid and to claim victory in the coaching hires of last offseason, while the loser faces a must win game against a hated rival on the final week of the season to salvage the year.  It’s good that there’s some stakes because the game might lack offense given how the teams have played. The Husker247 HypeCast doesn’t lack firepower, however, as The Athletic’s Mitch Sherman joins the show to talk about the Huskers and the upcoming matchup. Things start on offense where the panel walks through Nebraska’s quarterback options for Saturday, what the Huskers have done up front, how things have worked out for Emmett Johnson and the value of this season for Nebraska’s freshmen receivers, even if the numbers haven’t gone way up. Then it’s time for some defensive talk and what the Huskers have received from Tony White this season, what to make of Wisconsin’s different offensive attack after the past few seasons and where the Huskers improved against Maryland.  Finally it’s time for predictions. The oddly specific ones first then picks to click and finally game predictions. Did anyone think the Huskers could walk out of Camp Randall with bowl eligibility assured on Saturday night?
