Matt Rhule says the magic formula is 40 sacks and 20 takeaways. So can Nebraska actually pull it off in 2025?
In this episode, the Junkies dive into what it’ll take for Nebraska to reach that all-important “40/20” defensive mark—40 sacks and 20 takeaways. This is the goal Rhule laid out when he first got to Lincoln, and hitting it has historically meant double-digit wins for teams across the country.
We break down what it would t...

It's Husker fantasy draft time, and things got real spicy right out the gate.
In this special offseason episode of Big Red Junkies, BJ, Jed, and Matt hold a Nebraska Football–only fantasy draft—but with a twist. Instead of touchdowns and yards, players earn points based on their PFF game grades, with a 10-snap minimum. From Dylan Raiola going No. 1 overall to sleeper picks like Elijah Judy, Kai Wallin, and KeShon Singleton, this d...

We can all agree, Nebraska Football hasn't been the same since T.O. left, nearly 3 decades ago. It started alright with Frank Solich, but Bill Callahan, Bo Pelini, Mike Riley and Scott Frost drove our proud and once dominant program into near oblivion. The Jury is still out on Matt Rhule, but things are looking more positive than they have since the 90's. We're debating.
