Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kay, maybe he's wanting news onward to sports Brief Now
this would be the Husker Buzz edition. We have Sean
Fallahan our Husker Insider Live end Likeken Rosie.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
All right, thank that Sadler, Seano you have to be
It's very refreshing to hear somebody like Dana Holgerson stand
up there in front of the media and pretty much
say we suck. I love that. You know, we sure
we won the game, but we suck. I mean, I
think Nebraska fans will appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, he's very blunt that, you know, he goes he
got too many guys falling down. They're not staying on
their feet. We only made six tacklers miss the entire game,
and you're just not going to produce big plays. You
don't make people miss in space. So look, there were
a lot of things that were positive about the day
last week, but everybody knows there's a lot that needs
(00:47):
to get done at this season once to go where
people wanted to go, and Dana it was the first
one to point it out, and then he laid it
all out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
He said that the issue with the Elijah Pritchett when
he jumped into the neutral zone. A false start has
been dealt with. Has anybody seen Elijah Pritchett since the
end of the game or was he stuffed in the
back of a car and sped off into the night.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Well, Michael Severe brought this up. They were actually in
an illegal formation with five people in the backfield because
so there might have been a penalty called regardless, but
he threw the first one, you know, on that play
before the legal formation was spotted. But yeah, that was
an air across the board that you just can't have
(01:30):
at that moment if you go up thirteen to three
in that situation, I do think there's a much different
feel as far as the game goes. Knowing Nebraska gets
the ball to start the third quarter even at that
point and the momentum the crowd would have had, if
they would have just slammed it in there, it would
have been big. Luckily Shavers kind of bailed them out
(01:51):
with the force fumbles.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, Now, Teddy Perhaska made it through the whole game.
That's a big plus because in most of his career
he's not made it through any games because of knee injuries.
How did he perform a lot of people talked about
the left tackle spot. How did he perform at right tackle?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, he was solid. I mean they clearly think he's
the guy. He went every snap, and you know he'll
be the guy I think moving forward. I mean the
left side still, as you said, remains up in the area.
I've never seen anything like that where three guys split
the game, not you know, a big game or game
where the opponents were relatively equal. Yeah, maybe in a
game that you're gonna win by a lot, you can
(02:26):
do that, But that was I've never seen that before,
and I know some of the coaches have said the
same afterwards. Matt Ruhle it was not something he's used
to doing, so that they've got to figure out the
left side what they wanted to do despite the false start,
But it's still played the most snaps on the left
side and he did great out the highest on Pro
Football Focus of the three players. So I think they'll
(02:50):
get that figured out. They've got two games here at
home now to kind of get things ironed out before
the big one of Michigan. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Visit about the context of a Ryola's defense of Emma Johnson,
and I don't know that it was a defense. He
was asked about Emma Johnson and this on the heels
of conversations by Matt Rul about getting other running backs
on the field. Is there some sort of sense that
Emma Johnson is disrespected and not appreciated down there.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I don't think there's that. I mean, I think everyone
hopefully in the locker room, including him, and is smart
enough to know that, hey, you can't. You can't survive
doing this every week. The data just does not back up.
You have to have multiple backs going m It can
prove you can do it, but you don't want to.
You don't want to do that against Akron Houston, Christian now.
And the depth in a backfield is key in the
(03:39):
Big Ten. You can't have just one guy for twelve weeks.
I mean, Iowa, you get the exceptions, I mean to
Caleb Johnson and Iowa in places like that are able
if you're the elite back of the conference. Maybe, but
I do believe it. It is a priority now moving
forward in the next two weeks, especially to kind of
establish somebody. He kind of compliment Emma Johnson.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Interesting to see who makes that call. Uh, it was
interesting to me. The coach rule indicated he wasn't happy.
Buddy also said, look, that's Dana's call, and I'm and
and man, I leave it to him. So who's got
the juice there? Sean? What do you think?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Well, I mean, from what Rule said there, it does
appear Data pushes the buttons on the offense and he
you know, he steps in obviously in fourth down situations
and what they're going to do, you know, going forward
and whatnot. But he gives full autonomy to him or
to Dana about running this offense and and and you know,
doing what he wants to do, which I think is
(04:43):
why you're seeing that Rule do more CEO stuff. He's
got more time on his hands, like doing a podcast,
because he's got a guy like Data that he can
trust to run the show on offense.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I like, imn't running as much. I think Number one,
I think he's a stud. Number two, why are we?
Why are we putting the skirts on him? Now? You go,
But you take nineteen eighty three, you had Microzier, I
dug the boast and Paul Miles basically right and uh
and Mike Rozier won the Heisman Trophy to carry. I
don't know what his average was thirty a game was
(05:16):
not unusual.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Be carried about how average about twenty eight twenty five
to twenty eight carries a game.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So I kind of I kind of like Emma. I mean,
he's tough man, he's tough. Now let me ask you
about Kaylin de boer Shano. Has anybody thrown a brick
through any of his windows yet? Which is not uncommon?
Then the SEC if you lose a game, you're not
supposed to. Uh, what's his condition down there? And is
it conceivable that they will run him after this year
(05:43):
if they lose another one or two games to unranked
opponents or games they ought not and then go get
Lane Kiffin from all miss what's the situation?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, seventy million dollars, I mean, that's a problem, that's
not a problem. Yeah, they remember Mike Price, I mean
he was kind of the earlier version of Kalin the Boor.
They didn't want him there, and they pinned him in
that incident at the Strip club, and years later they
they said it was all made up and he actually
got paid out from all that deal. But yeah, it's
(06:13):
a little early. I do think the Boar is a
great coach. I mean he's won everywhere he's gone. He
lost one game, so let's let's see where things go.
But yeah, the Natives are restless because he's not one
of them down there, you know, And he's not one
of their guys. So he's kind of a Mike Riley
type guy or just somebody out a fish out of
water in that market. And he's not going to get
(06:35):
near the slack one of their guys would have gotten
if he got the job before the boar.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, he's lost four games to un components in fourteen games.
Nick Saban lost four in two hundred and fifty five games,
and a couple of those even were reversed up probation.
But he is a great coach.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But Shawn's back with Amory this afternoon, just after five
