    The Omaha World Herald’s Evan Bland joins the Common Fans to talk about the Michigan game, the first third of the season, and reasons for optimism for the Huskers in 2025.  Reasons for optimism in 2025: Dylan Raiola is playing at an elite level. Best group of wide receivers Nebraska has had in years. Pass defense is the best in the nation. Special Teams is drastically improved. Lots of young talent on D.The importance of the next four games. Which game on the schedule represents Nebraska’s best change to get a win over a ranked team? The crew also gets real: Losing at the line of scrimmage – how much can be fixed in season?Concern about the front seven on defense.  Plus, the boys discuss the ridiculous national narrative surrounding Raiola, what to expect from Michigan State, and how much the food in the press box has improved with the new stadium vendor.  This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast!

  2. Nebraska’s Flaws Exposed in Loss to Michigan

    Nebraska’s Flaws Exposed in Loss to Michigan

    The Common Fans are spicy as they discuss Nebraska’s frustrating loss to Michigan.  Nebraska lost–at times badly–at both lines of scrimmage. The Nebraska run defense was gashed to the tune of almost 300 yards. The Husker offensive line could not contain Michigan’s defenders, and the offense didn’t do much of anything in the 2nd half.Special teams bugaboos rear their ugly head again.  What it all means for the Big Red: No one is calling for any firings, but it feels like the team should be further along in year 3. Offensive line was supposed to be a strength of the team and Dylan Raiola was running for his life all afternoon. The defense’s ability to stop the run is officially a problem. Lots of youth on defense, and new coaches, so there’s hope they can improve significantly as the season goes on. Dylan at times needs to get rid of the ball or move in the pocket sooner, but otherwise he had a very strong performance and kept Nebraska in the game. Bye week is good for the team but it’ll be a long two weeks for the Common Fans out there.  This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast!

    The Blowout Everyone Needed: Huskers Obliterate Akron

    The Common Fans discuss Nebraska’s dominating win over Akron. Not much went wrong for the Big Red on Saturday night, as Nebraska dominated Akron in every facet of the game. While the Zips are clearly not very good, it was still a sign of progress for this program to put away a team in such an overwhelming fashion. A win like this was what everyone needed: the team, the program, the entire fan base, all of Husker Nation. Six different Huskers scored touchdowns en route to the 68-0 drubbing. Dylan Raiola was on top of his game, throwing for 364 yards as Nebraska’s offense racked up 728 total yards. Backup QB TJ Lateef looked strong as well. Emmett Johnson is on the way to a special season. Promising performance from multiple young guys on both sides of the ball. Big steps forward for the defense and special teams. One more tune-up this week before the showdown against Michigan on September 20.  This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast!

    Gary Sharp Sees Good Things for Nebraska Football in 2025

    Gary Sharp joins the Common Fans to share his reactions to the Cincinnati game and talk about what’s next for Nebraska football. Gary saw plenty of issues for the Huskers to fix, but the game didn’t fundamentally change his outlook for the Big Red in 2025.Defensive line, depth at running back are obvious areas in need of improvement. Gary also mentions the linebacker play as something he was surprised at. The good news: there were several mistakes that can be chalked up to game-one sloppiness. The key will be cleaning those up in the next two weeks. Also plenty to like from the game. Solid outing from Dylan. Plus-two turnover margin. And, of course, a Nebraska W. Plus, the crew gets into some timely questions: What does Matt Rhule want from this offense?If Nebraska goes into the Michigan game at 3-0, will they be ranked?What’s fair to expect from this defense?Is all of this building for 2026?  This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast!

    Survive and Advance: Nebraska Wins Ugly, and That’s OK

    The Common Fans discuss Nebraska’s thrilling win over Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium.  The Huskers showed plenty of promise on Thursday night, but the team also has lots to work on. The Nebraska team that showed up at Arrowhead Stadium does not look like a playoff team…but that doesn’t mean the Big Red can’t still put together a special run in 2025.The most important thing was getting out of Kansas City with a W, and the Huskers accomplished that. With the next two games against Akron and Houston Christian, there’s time to work on everything else.Dylan Raiola looked solid, and kept mistakes to a minimum, but the Common Fans wonder if/when we’ll see the offense open it up. The defense looks like a mixed bag after one week. Highlighted by some perfectly timed turnovers, the overall unit looks more explosive than in 2024. At the same time, the run defense looked awfully leaky at times. After dominating the 2nd quarter, and taking a 13-3 lead into halftime, the Big Red looked poised to put Cincinnati away. Instead, the Huskers opening drive of the 2nd half stalled, and they were in a battle to the end. Malcolm Hartzog made the play of the game, with a game-sealing interception in the end zone. The Common Fans are celebrating all the Ws, and it feels great to see the Huskers open the season 1-0.  This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast!
