Welcome to the Husker Doc Talk Podcast! This week, former Husker Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice break down Nebraska’s 59-point rout of Houston Christian. For the second week in a row, the Huskers cruised to victory and gave valuable reps to the backups. But the tune-up games are over—Big Ten Conference play begins, and Michigan is up next. The Wolverines bring star quarterback Bryce Underwood to Lincoln, and Dr. Rob lays out his keys to victory and the pitfalls Nebraska must avoid if they want to move to 4-0.
It’s not all football this week. Travis and Dr. Rob also shift gears to boxing, where Omaha’s own Bud Crawford made history Saturday night with a unanimous decision win over Canelo Alvarez—further cementing his case as one of the greatest fighters of all time.

2025 Episode 8: Huskers Roll Akron Get Ready For Another Cupcake
Monday Sep 08, 2025
Monday Sep 08, 2025
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice are back with another episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast.
Nebraska dominated Akron in a 68–0 shutout, but as Dr. Rob reminds us, even near-perfect performances leave room for growth. The blowout gave the Huskers a valuable chance to get younger players much-needed game reps, a benefit that will pay off down the road.
With another cupcake matchup on deck against Houston Christian, Travis and Dr. Rob shift gears to the broader landscape of college football. From early-season surprises to head coaches already feeling the heat, the guys break down who’s in trouble and why.
It’s Husker football, national perspective, and plenty of Doc Talk honesty—tune in for the full breakdown.

2025 Episode 6: Game 1-Cincinnati Preview
Sunday Aug 24, 2025
Sunday Aug 24, 2025
It’s officially Game Week for Nebraska football! Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka dive deep into the season opener against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium.
From the scarlet-and-cream color debate (no, not crimson!) to breaking down the offensive line depth chart, the guys tackle the big questions Husker fans are asking:
Can Nebraska’s O-line finally be the foundation of this team?
Will Emmett Johnson carry the load at running back, or is the depth too thin?
How quickly will new transfer receivers like Dane Key and Isaiah Hunter click with Dylan Raiola?
Is this defense—especially the secondary and linebackers—ready to handle Cincinnati QB Brendan Soresby’s dual-threat ability?
They also discuss:
Early-season sloppiness across college football and how it might show up Thursday night.
The expectations for Matt Rhule in Year 3—is nine wins enough, or is 10 the magic number?
The chess match between the Big Ten and SEC over playoff expansion and scheduling.
Road trip memories from the '90s and why neutral-site openers can be tricky.
Life updates as both Travis and Rob officially step into “empty nester” mode.
And don’t forget—immediately after the game Thursday night, Travis and Dr. Rob will go live on YouTube for postgame reaction, fan calls, and instant analysis. Make sure you hit that subscribe button and join the conversation!

2025 Episode 2: Tennessee Series Canceled and No Spring Game
Sunday Feb 23, 2025
Sunday Feb 23, 2025
In this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice break down Nebraska’s decision to cancel its highly anticipated home-and-home series with Tennessee. It's a move that financially makes sense for the program but cheats the fans out of a showdown with a big-name program.
The Huskers are also scrapping the 2025 Spring Game. Nebraska won’t hold its annual fan showcase—marking the end of a tradition that regularly draws over 60,000 fans. What does this mean for recruiting, fan engagement, and the program's overall direction?
Rob and Travis give their unfiltered thoughts on both decisions, what it says about Matt Rhule’s long-term plan, and why some fans are growing frustrated with the program's cautious approach.
