Nebraska football in November: It's bowl game or bust

Nebraska football is back at work on Monday after the bye week. The Huskers head to USC this week in an attempt to change the direction of their season after three consecutive losses. But is the book written on this team?Connor and Mitch weigh in, saying that it’s bowl game or bust for Matt Rhule’s team in 2024. What’s a bust? Well, it wouldn’t bode well for the offseason ahead or what lies beyond in 2025. Also, we’ll hear from Rhule on Monday about Dana Holgorsen, the Huskers’ newly hired consultant. We offer thoughts on what the head coach might say on Monday on the subject – and on how much we should put into his answer.In recruiting, the push toward December continues. In what direction are the Huskers headed? And we check in on Nebraska men’s basketball, off to a so-so start, and the Nebraska volleyball team, which is barrelling toward December and a run at the national championship.For your next listen, check out the Locked On College Football podcast!
