Popular assistants have become the head coach and the results for both are fairly uneven.The HypeCast welcomes in Dirk Chatelain to the conversation and he joins Michael Bruntz, Brian Christopherson and Mike Schaefer to discuss the Wisconsin game.Conversation starts on offense where once again the Huskers enter a game with a murky outlook at quarterback following Chubba Purdy’s injury, Logan Smothers being banged up and Casey Thompson’s rehabilitation from a hand injury. How can Nebraska get Anthony Grant going and Trey Palmer involved.When the conversation shifts to the defense the group discusses how the Huskers have played on that side of the ball, why Ernest Hausmann and Malcolm Hartzog seem to be playing well and the increased play from the secondary. Then it’s time for predictions that include oddly specific moments happening in the game, who stands out for the Huskers on Saturday and what the final score will be. After several weeks of similar picks does anyone get wild and go with an upset for Saturday?As always be sure to subscribe to the Husker247 Podcast to have episodes downloaded directly to your listening device.
