Speaker 1 (00:00):
Onward. Now the sports Brief, the Husker Buzz edition, we
had Sean Callahan live and Lincoln and Jim Rose is here.
We have sad news about the volleyball team and maybe
good news about football.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, I'll tell you Seana. You know, we all watched
it last night, and there are some volleyball experts out
there that know this sport. And you had a wonder
up twenty two sixteen in the fourth set. What happened?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Man?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, I was I was at an event or party
last night when we were watching it. I'm like, other
thing's over at twenty two sixteen and rally scoring, I
mean that that's a really hard I mean, I'd love
to see the ESPN metric on that lead. You know,
they were probably ninety nine percent at that point, ninety
eight percent, but make a couple of little airs and
(00:45):
all of a sudden got to twenty two eighteen and
it just man that John Cook and we talked off air, Jim,
he's just gonna this one's going to hurt as much
as any because he had a team. You know, they
would have played louis Though, who they dominated earlier on
that same court in in Louisville. So that they were
that close to a national championship and they'll be thinking
about that one for a long time.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's disappointing. You've got daughters, and you mentioned it yesterday.
I have not seen a female athlete in Nebraska history
have the impact on a young generation of girls like
Lexi Rodriguez. Do you sense that there has there been
somebody like this in the past that I'm overlooking?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
She's up there. I mean, for sure, Jordan Larson obviously,
you know it's a gold standard for around Nebraska, for
what she's done too, for the sport around the world.
But I think what Lexi Rodriguez has done is get
let a lot of girls know in this state, you
don't have to be six ' two six ' four
to play this game at an elite level, at an
(01:46):
Olympic level. You can be five six five seven whatever
listed height is, and and be an Olympic level player,
be a national level player of the year. And you know,
I think that's good for the sport because a lot
of people they go, you gotta be really tall to
play volleyball. No, she's at her size and one of
the most valuables, not the most valueyball player in the
(02:07):
country for what she does, and she's going to be
missed and you wish that she could have gone out
with a national championship.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, well she's not tiny. She just looks tiny.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
She's five five, she is. Yeah, but if you're right
by volleyball standards, and even Cook admitted I was looking
for a taller libero. Okay, football, Nebraska gets a wide
receiver commit and shadow what real revisit this question? Uh,
you look at the receivers that are in the program now,
and then you look at the ones that are coming in,
(02:37):
especially the freshman kids that are going to be well
that are high school seniors now that are going to
be freshmen. That's a crowded room and not everybody's going
to see the ball.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah. And Isaiah Hunter from cals is you know that
brought it to be a starter. He was Cal's leading
receiver this last year as a red shirt freshman. He's
six two ten, very pits goal and they wanted a
body like that. Now they'll have another one in here today,
Dane Key from Kentucky, and he's also over six 's
(03:08):
two and very physically built. So they're looking for a
couple of those pieces to go with Jacorey Barney, to
go with Cortes Mills, Carter Nelson and the and then
the guys they returned. But that was huge. They needed
to get at least one, if not two, of these
portal receivers and getting Naysa Hunter, Isaiah Hunter, that was
(03:31):
really their number one guy in the portal. They absolutely
loved him. And then the fact that he has three
years of eligibility. This is not a one and done
transfer portal addition, Yeah, I just I.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Just don't believe Nebraska is going to run the football
much when you've got all of these high level receivers
and tight ends out there. We'll see how it goes
next spring. This winter time practice is unusual for Nebraska
since they haven't been to a ballgame in eight years.
What were you looking for or what are you looking
for in terms of young player development that we might
see in.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
The bowl game. Well, they've they've gotten Uh. This would
be their tenth practice today, I believe, and Dana Holgerson
said that it's been unbelievable to watch. He hasn't been
a part of a bowl month like this where they've
had this kind of time with players and in a
long long time. He said that yesterday, and you know,
they they've been able to really get a lot of
work and they're hitting. On Tuesday. I was told it
(04:22):
was the most physical practice they've had in a long time.
So they're not just out there in shorts going through drills.
I mean, they're they're getting after trying to develop some
of these younger players. But you know, Keona Davis, Riley
Van Poppel, those are some names, Vincent Shavers, Willis McGahee.
They're going to really lean on some of those guys
on the front seven in this Bowl game to play.
(04:44):
You know, Nash and Tie are going to play, but
I think you're going to see more of those younger
guys get opportunities. And they're those reps on the on
the two veterans, you know, may not be as high
stay in the second half, So that will be something
to watch as they try to get some of those
younger defensive lineman camb Linhart as well. You know I
mentioned you know, they've got enough to obviously get through
(05:06):
this game, and this game is going to be a
lower snap game, more like an Iowa game. I talked
to somebody this week. They said Boston College is basically
the Iowa of the acc.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
They do it that same.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Type of style.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
They run the ball.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I think their quarterbacks a little more capable, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:21):

on news radio eleven ten kfa B. We'll keep you
