The Huskers are looking like one of the scariest teams in the Big Ten, and the heat is officially on in Lincoln.

Exclusive Interview: Emmett Johnson (RB1)

• Emmett joins the show to talk about his midseason mindset and what’s driving his success.
• How he’s balancing leadership with production.
• What he expects from the Minnesota defense — and how the Huskers plan to attack.
• Reflections on how the bye week helped reset the locker room for the stretch run.

Opponent Snapshot: Minnesota Golden Gophers

• Head Coach J. Fleck (since 2017) — “Row the Boat” culture, physical run game, controlled tempo.
• QB Drake Lindsey — limited mobility, quick reads, 3 interceptions this season.
• RB Darius Taylor — explosive when healthy (986 yds, 10 TDs in 2024), a key piece to watch.
• Expect a ball-control battle — meaning the Huskers’ pass rush and secondary must stay sharp.

Bleav It or Not:
“Nebraska’s defense holds Minnesota under 20 points.”

• The Huskers lead the nation in pass defense, allowing just ~118 YPG.
• Opponents have averaged only 8 PPG through six weeks.
• Minnesota is averaging under 25 PPG on the season and has struggled to generate explosive plays.
