About this episode

The episode reviews Nebraska's season opener with insights from coach Matt Rhule on player performances and upcoming challenges.

Just like that, it’s already Tuesday of Week 2. We’re here to review the first Monday from inside the Nebraska football season with coach Matt Rhule. He answered questions from the media, highlighting several players who lived up to expectations — or exceeded them — in the Huskers’ season-opening win against Ohio. Rhule offered little update on a possible return date for injured linebacker Owen Chambliss. We’re talking on this episode about the Nebraska play at the line of scrimmage, about Mitch’s travel woes en route to Chicago, about strange penalties on kickoffs and about areas of anticipated improvement as the Huskers prepare for Bowling Green on Saturday. Join us.
