Cornhusker Connection

UCF and TCU both face very disappointing losses over the weekend. Oklahoma and Texas avoid upset bids from Iowa State and Kansas to set up an all-time caliber Red River Showdown.

In this episode, we dive deep into Nebraska's recent game against Michigan, where they faced a challenging 45-7 defeat. While the final score might not reflect a victory, there were some shining moments that Nebraska fans can be proud of! Join us as we break down the game, highlighting the standout plays, players, and strategies that demonstrated Nebraska's potential in this tough matchup....

Nebraska looses 45-7 against #2 Michigan at home. There's a lot that went wrong in the game for Nebraska on offense, defense, and special teams, but in classic Cornhusker Connection fashion, there's still some light for the Huskers moving forward.

With the much anticipated Red River Showdown next week, does that set up Texas and Oklahoma for let downs this week? Iowa State and Kansas has had a strange amount of success against the Sooners and Longhorns over the last several years. Did the Big 12 set this up on purpose?

The second-ranked team in the country is coming to Lincoln to take on the Cornhuskers. Nebraska has had a string of years competing well against elite competition, but unable to come up with any marquee wins. Can Matt Rhule and this Husker team turn the tide and pick up a program changing win?

Week five is in the books and Brandon and Drew break down where each team is at now that everyone has one Big 12 game in the books. Who has been the surprise winner, the surprise loser, and who are we excited to keep tabs on as the season progresses.

Tyler dominates week four, Brandon is especially down bad after picking Broncos ML last week. Special guest Luke returns to the show.

Nebraska is back to .500 for the first time since last October as Henrich Haarberg gets it done as the Husker's leading rusher. Is that enough for him to get starting nod over week one starter Jeff Sims with national title contender Michigan coming to town? Is Florida State ranked too high considering back to back close calls against two non-ranked teams

After another solid performance from QB Henrich Haarberg, Nebraska improves to 2-0 after a win against Louisiana Tech to wrap up the non-conference slate. Has Haarberg done enough to be QB1 going into the Michigan game next week? Who is better than Brandon thought, worse than he thought, and the same as he thought? Make sure to follow Brandon Shanahan @Shanahman

Brandon and Drew break down the first full slate of Big 12 games in conference play. Baylor seems like the exact kind of team that would beat Texas. Finally, the fellas make their picks and try and build on their winning records in the weekly pick 'em

Brandon, Brooke, and Tyler discuss what's going to happen to Michigan State now that Mel Tucker has been fired. Who should they target for their next head coach? They also make their week four picks and draw their line in the sand regarding Clemson-Florida State Twitter: @Shanahman Twitter: @TylerSpinkel Twitter: @BrookejBryne

The boys break down their wins and losses from week three actions. More wins from Bookie Brooke and more losses for Brandon. Tyler has the best week he's has this season.

After seeing Henrich Haarberg play a very clean game en route to Nebraska's first win of the season, does it make sense to go back to Jeff Sims if he's healthy? Is the Big 10 west so bad that Nebraska could still win it? Twitter: @Shanahman Twitter: @TylerSpinkel Twitter: @BrookejBryne

Brandon Shanahan and Drew Russell breakdown the, uh, not so great optics to the Big 12 during the non-conference season. But is it just bad optics or is the Big 12 actually bad?

Nebraska picks up their first win of the season and first win in the Matt Rhule era. They took care of Northern Illinois with Henrich Haarberg starting behind center who put on a very solid outing. Brandon also breaks down the Colorado-Colorado State shootout and recaps the teams/players who are better than he thought, worse than he thought, and the same as he thought.

After yet another losing week, is this the time we consider fading Tyler by default? Now that the guys are factoring in NFL games, can he turn it around? Twitter: @Shanahman Twitter: @TylerSpinkel Twitter: @BrookejBryne

Brandon, Brooke, and Tyler move on to what to expect Saturday against Northern Illinois. What would feel like a good game? Winning by 20? By 10? Just winning at all? How bad would a loss feel? They also reset expectations at the quarterback position and focus on other ways the offense can improve. Twitter: @Shanahman Twitter: @TylerSpinkel Twitter: @BrookejBryne

The Big 12 has one last opportunity to feast on some inferior opponents before we get into the thick of the conference slate next week. Can they take advantage of it?

After a disappointing start to the Matt Rhule era, Brandon, Brooke, and Tyler try to rationalize what Coach Rhule was thinking deciding to double down on Sims as his quarterback. The fellas also recap a week of picks where each picker had a winning week. Finally the guys discuss what could happen next with Mel Tucker and the Michigan State football program.

Brandon Shanahan and Drew Russell breakdown Texas outplaying Alabama on the road. Can they compete for a national title? Big 12 as a whole bounces back after a rough week one.

Following another gut-wrenching loss to rival Colorado, where do the Huskers go from here? Jeff Sims struggles as much as any Husker quarterback in recent memory, but how much is enough? Lastly, another round of what's worse than I thought? Better than I thought? The same as I thought? Twitter: @Shanahman Twitter: @TylerSpinkel Twitter: @BrookejBryne

With special guest Brett Sprinkel, the boys try to dethrone Bookie Brooke after he cruises with his week one picks Twitter: @Shanahman Twitter: @TylerSpinkel Twitter: @BrookejBryne

Huskers look to bounce back against rival Colorado, who caught the world by storm after their win against TCU last week. With special guest Brett Sprinkel, they break down what a Nebraska win looks like. They also attempt to have a better week making picks as they predict the fate of 11 games this weekend. Well, Brandon, Brooke, and Brett predicted 11 games. Tyler just picked whatever Brooke did....

Brandon Shanahan and Iowa broadcasting legend Drew Russell break down the entire Big 12 slate coming up for week 2. There are a lot of Big-12 vs Pac-12 matchups, how can the Big-12 bounce back from a rough week one?

After breaking down what made the 13-10 loss to Minnesota so heartbreaking, the guys break down the full slate of week one. Yes, unfortunately that does mean they had to admit Brooke was right about Florida State. Well, not everybody was able to admit that. GBFR.
