    Same Old Nebraska...or is it? How Huskers should adjust on both sides of ball

    In the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast, Sam McKewon, Evan Bland and Tom Shatel react to Nebraska's disappointing overtime loss to Illinois and discuss which areas the Huskers can adjust going into the rest of Big Ten play. The guys talk about the fans' upset feelings after NU let another lead slip away and another close loss, but the three debate whether this version has a different identity. Tom gives thoughts on how Dylan Raiola handled his first real test against a solid Big Ten defense and the three have a conversation about when the freshman will take over as a true leader of the team and how other players will respond. They also talk about how Illinois had success against the Blackshirts and how Nebraska's offensive strategy can change to keep the defense fresh in the fourth quarter. The trio then bring up Nebraska AD Troy Dannen's comments speaking out against hosting Big Ten Friday night games and consider a resolution to the issue of Michigan and Ohio State refusing Friday games. The show switches to basketball with the three debating what the Huskers will be strong in before Sam talks about why Fred Hoiberg decided to bring in so many big man transfers to alleviate a rebounding issue. They end the show with picks and a lookahead to the first road trip of the season to West Lafeyette.

    In the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast, Sam McKewon, Evan Bland and Tom Shatel preview Nebraska vs. Illinois and talk what updates are needed at Memorial Stadium.
