Author: Omaha World-Herald May 1, 2025 Duration: 46:11

In the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast, Sam McKewon, Evan Bland and Tom Shatel discuss the highs and lows of Nebraska's inaugural Husker Games.

The crew discuss the highs and lows of the inaugural Husker Games: was "it all a bit too much" and did the media and fans actually learn anything about the 2025 team?

The three talk how much money schools are spending on recruitment in a landscape with no rules. They also discuss if Nebraska needs to be spending as much as schools like Texas.

Evan Bland talks about Trae Taylor, a quarterback Nebraska is recruiting, and a conversation with his parents that revealed the decision will be made without the quarterback knowing the potential NIL deals.
