2025 Episode 15: Nebraska 28 Northwestern 21

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.
