Husker Doc Talk

Nebraska 28, Northwestern 21. The Huskers are now bowl eligible for the second year in a row and improve to 6-2 on the season and 3-2 in the Big 10 Conference. 
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss the win in the latest edition of Husker Doc Talk Podcast.
Nebraska scored 14 of its 28 points off Northwestern turnovers. The Huskers also get a kickoff return for a touchdown.
Despite rushing for 155 yards, including 124 from Emmett Johnson, Dr. Rob still sees some problems with the offensive line. 
Speaking of Johnson, Dr. Rob and Travis think he's the best running back in the Big 10 Conference. His numbers back up the opinion, but it also shows how much Nebraska needs him if the Huskers want to keep winning. 
Additionally, Northwestern rushed for 172 yards, indicating some holes and deficiencies in the Nebraska interior front. 
Up next is USC. The Trojans did not play this past weekend. According to ESPN's game predictor, USC has a 72% chance of winning.

Minnesota 24, Nebraska 6—and it felt worse. Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka break down a Friday-night flop that saw nine sacks, a sputtering run game, and a defense bullied on a 98-yard, 8:43 drive to open the second half. Is Nebraska’s offensive line development the program’s biggest long-term problem? What’s fair criticism of Donovan Raiola after five seasons? And where do Matt Rhule and his coordinators fit in when halftime adjustments don’t show up?
They also look ahead to Northwestern—now quietly 5–2—discuss why the Wildcats’ ball-control blueprint is Nebraska’s worst nightmare, and explain why the Huskers’ margin for error remains razor thin heading into the season’s final five games.

For the second straight week, Nebraska clawed its way back from a second-half deficit to pull out a win.
Despite Dylan Raiola throwing three interceptions and the Huskers trailing Maryland by 7 points, Nebraska rallied for a 34–31 victory over the Terrapins. In this episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka break down how the Huskers found a way to win and what this comeback means for the rest of the season.
But the biggest storyline emerging this week isn’t just Nebraska’s resiliency — it’s the future of Head Coach Matt Rhule. With Penn State firing James Franklin after a stunning home loss to Northwestern, Rhule’s name has quickly surfaced as a top candidate. A Penn State alum and former player, he’s already being mentioned across national media outlets.
Is the Penn State job truly better than Nebraska? Dr. Rob weighs in with his thoughts — and what it could mean for the Huskers moving forward.

Nebraska beats Michigan State 38–27 in a game that felt tougher than it had to be.  On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka break down the sacks (12 in two weeks), what the staff is asking Dylan Raiola to do (and not do), and why Mike Eckler’s special teams might be Nebraska’s best unit right now. They reset Cincinnati’s profile after the Iowa State game (that Week 1 Husker win looks stronger), preview Maryland, and hit the national slate: Penn State’s slide and James Franklin’s ceiling, UCLA’s sudden offensive identity, Alabama’s steady climb, and Arch Manning vs. the hype.

After a bye week, the Huskers are back at it with another home game. Nebraska plays Michigan State this weekend. The series with the Spartans has been close in recent history. Dating back to 2014, five games have been decided by a total of 15 points. 
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice talk about the match-up and what the Huskers need to do to make Dr. Rob is a true believer that things are changing in Lincoln, physically, athletically, and mentally.

Nebraska drops another Big Ten opener, 30–27 to Michigan, and Travis Justice & Dr. Rob Zatechka break down why the score felt closer than the game. From seven sacks and goal-line woes to Michigan’s clear edge in speed and physicality, the guys zero in on the offensive tackles, short-yardage issues, and three explosive TD runs allowed. They also defend Dylan Raiola’s day (it wasn’t on the QB) and compare him to Bryce Underwood, separating arm talent, accuracy, and true dual-threat juice.
With a bye week on deck, they outline what can actually be fixed now (OL personnel/scheme tweaks, tackling fits, protection help) and what’s a longer project. Then it’s a tour around college football: Indiana surges under Curt Cignetti, Wisconsin spirals (is Luke Fickell on the clock?), Florida’s brutal slate puts Billy Napier in peril, and why monster buyouts are warping the coaching carousel.

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.

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.
