2018 Episode 14: The First of How Many More Wins?
Wednesday Oct 24, 2018
Wednesday Oct 24, 2018
Why did Nebraska finally win a game? It could be that Dr. Rob Zatechka skipped and went to the Florida State vs. Wake Forest game instead. Seriously, that's what he did. On this edition of Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, we find out why Dr. Rob was on Seminole territory while Nebraska was winning its first game.
Why we are drinking some find Infusion Brewing beer, we also tackle the question, is now the time to play a team like Bethune Cookman or would a week off like initially planned to be better? Also, the win over Minnesota the first of how many? Dr. Rob and Travis tackle that question.
Lots of questions from listeners this week, some think the defense is still way behind, another thinks Adrian Martinez is the best QB Nebraska has ever had.

2018 Episode 13: To Go or Not To Go? Overtime loss at Northwestern
Sunday Oct 14, 2018
Sunday Oct 14, 2018
To go or not to go? That is the big question following Nebraska's overtime loss to Northwestern last Saturday. On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice carry on their Twitter spat on what play the Huskers should have run on 4th and 1 in overtime. Do you kick the field goal? Or do you put Adrian Martinez under center instead of the shotgun?
On the @DocTalkSports twitter page, a fan poll asked what you would do with hindsight being 20/20.
47% Kick Field Goal
35% QB Under Center
18% QB In The Shotgun
Let's not forget the fact that besides not getting the job done offensively in overtime, the Husker failed on defense as well, letting Northwestern go 99 yards on its last possession in regulation. In short, there's plenty of blame to spread around.
Make sure to get your local craft beer at Infusion Brewing Company. Also, a big thanks to Husker Hounds and Ticket Express for the continued support of the podcast.

Tuesday Oct 09, 2018
Tuesday Oct 09, 2018
The latest Husker Doc Talk podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy is starting to sound a lot like a broken record. Huskers play, Huskers lose. Huskers rack up lots of yards on offense, Huskers make stupid mental mistakes and penalties. The only this that seems to be different from week to week is the beer we drink from Infusion Brewing Company. Oh, and the graham cracker amber ale we have this episode is like breakfast in a bottle!
Yes the losing continues and players continue to defect, but all is not lost according to Dr. Rob Zatechka. He explains the little differences that will begin paying dividends in the future, maybe even this season.
