Husker Nation — LET’S GO! 🙌 Welcome back to the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast, the show for the fans, by the fans! I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr., and today’s episode is 🔥 from start to finish.
🔥 Husker Heat Check:
Our RB1 Emmett Johnson just landed on the Doak Walker Award watch list — honoring the best RB in college football 🏆. After a monster finish to last season (908 all-purpose yards, most RB catches since 2007), Johnson is primed to go OFF in Dana Holgorsen’s offense 💪. Could he be the best back in the Big Ten this year? 👀
💥 Big Red Rewind:
Defensive Coordinator John Butler finally speaks! 🗣️ From tackling to physicality to setting the tone like true Blackshirts, Butler lays out exactly how this defense will hit harder than ever. Remember — his first game calling plays? Just a bowl win over Boston College, holding them to two points in the first half. 💣
🛡 Defensive Storylines:
Can this transfer-heavy D-line dominate the Big Ten trenches?
How Butler’s rotation could keep guys fresh AND dangerous
Why this group could be the scariest part of the 2025 Huskers
👀 Bleav It or Not:
Is Nebraska a legit CFP sleeper?! The Athletic says yes.
Here’s why:
1️⃣ Matt Rhule’s Year 3 magic — double-digit wins & title games at Temple & Baylor
2️⃣ A favorable Big Ten schedule — only plays Michigan & Penn State from the top 6 🏟️
We break down the path, the matchups, and what it would take for Nebraska to shock the college football world 🌎.
