Blackshirts' expectations, how House vs. NCAA will impact Nebraska

Blackshirts' expectations, how House vs. NCAA will impact Nebraska

Author: Omaha World-Herald April 2, 2025 Duration: 49:17

The guys open with a conversation about what intrigues them most about the Husker defense, and what could look different scheme-wise with Butler at the reins and new assistants on staff. 

Sam and Evan talk about what the Blackshirts were best at last season, where they need to improve, and debate whether Matt Rhule should change his strategy for defensive recruiting.

The guys dive into some questions sent in by fans, including whether Nebraska will throw the ball more in 2025 behind an improved receiver core. The two also look at the position groups who are most mysterious and how they predict the depth charts will play out come fall. 

The last fan question the guys answer is about how the House vs. NCAA settlement, and how, if approved, will affect football schools like Nebraska vs. basketball schools like Creighton. Will NU be able to spend as much on basketball transfers as CU if they also have to use part of the revenue-sharing pie on popular sports like volleyball?
