Husker247: A Nebraska athletics podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The Sunday Side Session returns for its third season as Mike Schaefer is joined by veteran Fox broadcaster Kevin Kugler to break down Nebraska’s season-opening 40-7 win over UTEP. The two discuss the expected but rare straight forward, dominating way the Huskers took care of a lesser team in UTEP and how Nebraska was able to flood-the-bench late in the game.  From there the conversation shifted to Dylan Raiola and the veteran offense Matt Rhule and company put around the quarterback.  When the conversation moved sides of the ball the two discussed how Tony White’s defense responded to the only real adversity of the game and the overall depth of the front seven, as well as a few defenders who played well on Saturday. Finally there was plenty of discussion about Nebraska-Colorado and Kugler gave thoughts on why Rhule always seemed like a college coach in the NFL when their paths crossed initially and why he could be the right fit in Lincoln for a long time.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
