Thursday Dec 28, 2023
Thursday Dec 28, 2023
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice are back with another edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports.
In episode 32, they say goodbye to 2023 and hello to the 2024 Nebraska football recruiting class led by Five Star Quarterback Dylan Raiola.
The episode takes an exciting turn when Travis and Dr. Rob get into a spirited discussion about Nebraska's five National Titles and if they are "theoretical" or "mythical" because the Huskers didn't win them under a playoff system. You might be surprised at who falls on each side of the fence.
This episode is the final Podcast of 2023. Thanks to all of you who have continued to support and listen to us. Dr. Rob and Travis will return in 2024 with their off-season interview series.

Iowa 13 Nebraska 10. The season is over for the Huskers as they finish 5-7 on the season and fail to reach a bowl game for the seventh straight season.
The reason Nebraska lost to the Hawkeyes is the same reason they lost their previous six games, turnovers. Three for the game and a crucial interception by Chubba Purdy in the last minute of the game that set up the game winning Iowa field goal as time expired.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports; Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive into the season ending loss and also discuss what is next for Nebraska.
How does a team get over the hump in close games? How do the Huskers cut down on turnovers? Is Purdy the quarterback of the future and how do things change with the Big 10 landscape shifting in 2024? It’s all discussed in this episode.

Another close game, another close loss for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The latest setback was a 24-17 overtime loss at Wisconsin. Nebraska has now lost three in a row. It is 5-6 on the season and needs a win against Iowa on Black Friday to become college football bowl-eligible.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Travis Justice and former Husker offensive lineman Dr. Rob Zatechka dive deep into the loss to the Badgers.
Why didn’t the Huskers go for the win on the last drive of regulation? How did Chubba Purdy stack up as the starting quarterback, and is he the quarterback of the future for the Big Red?
Up next for Nebraska, a Black Friday game against Iowa. The Hawkeyes are 9-2 on the season and have wrapped up the Big 10 West Division Championship. One thing is for sure: you can expect a close game with the Hawkeyes. All but one of Iowa’s division wins have been one-score games. Nebraska will be looking for its second straight win over the Hawks.
Nebraska Athletic Director Trev Alberts gets a contract extension and a pay raise. The moves after what appears to be a political hit job against Alberts and how he managed the finances at UNO.

Sunday Nov 05, 2023
Just like ugly wins count, ugly losses hurt. The Huskers lost ugly to Michigan State 20-17. Another typical Nebraska performance. Poor passing, three turnovers, and a decent run game. The Huskers were also the victims of poor officiating, but that's not the reason they lost the game.
On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss take a deep into the loss that drops Nebraska to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in the Big 10. Despite the loss, Nebraska STILL has a decent shot at winning the Big 10 West Division. Dr. Rob and Travis break down what is left for Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota as all four are still in the hunt.
