    Nebraska vs Michigan: Raiola vs Underwood, Houseman Returns, and the ONE Thing NU Must Do
    2025/09/16
    HATE WEEK. We’re talking how Nebraska can rock a juiced Memorial Stadium and make Michigan feel it early. Yes, we said it: punch them in the mouth. ▶ What’s inside: We start with Michigan’s offense—freshman QB Bryce Underwood (live arm, legit runner) and RB Justin Haynes (big-play merchant) vs Nebraska’s pressure looks. We get into why Underwood’s efficiency craters under heat and why NU’s third-down defense could flip the game. Then Michigan’s defense: the Ernest Hausmann storyline, how they blitz, where they’re gettable, and why NU may need quick-game and Emmett Johnson in space instead of stubborn downhill stuff. We drop one spicy fact about Michigan’s special teams quirk (punt returns) and then rip through prop bets—Raiola vs Underwood total yards, Emmett vs Haynes all-purpose, third-down battle, and who leads NU in receiving. Finally: predictions and totals. 📌 TOPICS COVERED (Auto-Chapters): 00:00 Intro – “F**k Michigan Week” + housekeeping 10:07 Michigan Offense – Underwood, Haynes, explosives, pressure plan 15:57 Michigan Defense – Hausmann, blitz tendencies, how NU should attack 18:58 Interesting Nugget – Michigan’s odd punt-return profile 30:21 Prop Bets – QB totals, Emmett vs Haynes, 3rd downs, leading WR 01:01:35 Predictions & Picks – Spread/total talk and who wins Quick receipts from the show (used in the breakdown): NU 3rd-down D allowing ~21.1% (Top-10 nationally); Michigan O ~44.7% on 3rd. Michigan D has 5 INTs in 3 games; 7 takeaways total. Michigan punt-return output has been rough despite a decorated kicker. Your prop-bet segment starts ~00:30:21; picks close ~01:01:35–01:04:30.

  • Are the Blackshirts an Issue? | Is the Nebraska's D-Line TOO SMALL?

    Are the Blackshirts an Issue? | Is the Nebraska's D-Line TOO SMALL?
    2025/08/21
    Everybody’s chirping that Nebraska’s defense is too small, too green, and not ready for Big Ten smash‑mouth. Nah. We’re calling BS—and we brought receipts. We kick off Week Zero with a straight‑up rant about the national narrative and why the spring/summer “offense struggled” headlines never credit a defense that’s actually making strides. Then we dive into Tony White vs. John Butler résumé talk and how fans read that matchup, the “undersized linebackers” debate vs. raw athleticism, and why a faster, smarter, more cohesive front can still bully people when it counts. We also hit on the D‑line coaching shift—speed + power, master one move, play as a unit—and what that means on Saturdays. Plus a quick note on special teams (Archie Wilson and the punt team vibes) and the single‑digit leadership tradition carrying forward. Are we overconfident or dead‑on about this defense?

  • Will Nebraska’s BLACKSHIRTS Hit the 40/20 Mark in 2025?

    Will Nebraska’s BLACKSHIRTS Hit the 40/20 Mark in 2025?
    2025/08/06
    Matt Rhule says the magic formula is 40 sacks and 20 takeaways. So can Nebraska actually pull it off in 2025? In this episode, the Junkies dive into what it’ll take for Nebraska to reach that all-important “40/20” defensive mark—40 sacks and 20 takeaways. This is the goal Rhule laid out when he first got to Lincoln, and hitting it has historically meant double-digit wins for teams across the country. We break down what it would take to get there: John Butler's attacking style and what it means for the pass rush How Nebraska’s defensive depth at JACK, EDGE, and DB could create chaos Why opponents playing from behind may boost our takeaway numbers What chunk games like Akron and HCU will mean for piling up stats Why 40/20 might be the minimum if Nebraska wants to win 11 games You’ll also hear our takes on Rhule’s tone, the confidence in the defensive line, and what this means for the Big Ten race in 2025. #NebraskaFootball #Huskers #MattRhule #Blackshirts #CollegeFootball #BigTen #GBR #HuskerDefense Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Will Dylan Raiola PASS for 3400+ Yards in 2025?

    Will Dylan Raiola PASS for 3400+ Yards in 2025?
    2025/08/01
    Dylan Raiola is walking into Lincoln with little to no Heisman hype — can he actually sling it for 3,400+ yards in this season? The Junkies break down a bold stat line prediction for Dylan Raiola’s freshman season — and whether he can reach 3,400 passing yards in 2025. If he does, it would be the second-highest total in Nebraska history. They dive into how realistic that number is based on Nebraska's offensive scheme, Raiola's talent, the O-line situation, and the weapons surrounding him.Matt Rhule’s game management style, Dana Holgorsen’s long-term plans, and the strength of Nebraska’s running game all come into play in the over/under discussion. Expect hot takes, stat math, and plenty of disagreement on whether Raiola’s arm will carry Nebraska to the Big Ten title game. Do you think Dylan Raiola clears 3,400 yards in 2025? Drop your over/under pick in the comments — no fence-sitting allowed, Husker Nation. #NebraskaFootball #Huskers #DylanRaiola #MattRhule #BigTen #HuskerNation #CollegeFootball #HuskerPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
