The Yoshi Football Show: Review of Minnesota - Nebraska And Wondering Why Our Huskers Did What They Did

Jermarcus “Yoshi” Hardrick and I talk about the disappointing loss to Minnesota. “Disappointing” is such a mild word to use here. There’s no profanity in this podcast, which is pretty... surprising. “Surprising” is a good word to describe the 2020 Minnesota - Nebraska game.Some points of interest:Why did Nebraska play mostly zone defense when the week before our beloved Huskers shut down Purdue receivers David Bell and Rondale Moore playing mostly man defense
Minnesota came into the game giving up 6.82 yards per carry on defense - why didn’t Nebraska run the ball more?
How he felt about the first play of the game being a sideways pass
Pass blocking technique

Why experience matters
Why Rutgers is a dangerous opponent

Nebraska - Minnesota: The “Just When You Think It Can’t Get Worse” Postgame Reaction

Minnesota came into this game down 33 players, hadn’t played in two weeks, and with a run defense that was 111th in the nation, giving up 215.60 yards per game. They were dead last - 127th - in rush defense yards per carry at 6.82. The Gophers were giving up 6.82 yards per carry! How did Nebraska start this game? Throwing a sideways pass that was ruled backwards and lost yardage. Probably was an omen. I don’t understand why we insist on running sideways when the Gopher defense hadn’t proven it could stop anyone on the ground.
I don’t understand why we played zone defense when we put our defensive backs in man coverage last week against Purdue’s David Bell and Rondale Moore, shutting them down (mostly) for a win.
I don’t understand why Adrian Martinez plays like a Heisman candidate one game, then can’t hit the broad side of a barn the next.
Scott Frost has had a lot of losses. Just when you thought the Illinois loss from a couple weeks ago was bad, he loses to a short-handed Minnesota team that sucks, but doesn’t apparently suck as much as Nebraska. It’s tough right now. It’s tough all around. Take care of yourselves, Merry Christmas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Michigan - Ohio State Canceled: Should The Big Ten Help The Buckeyes?

One of the biggest rivalry games in college football has been canceled. Michigan - Ohio State won’t be played this weekend for the first time since 1917. World War I was still raging and the world was yet to realize the Spanish Flu epidemic would kill millions around the globe, more than World War I. Ohio State doesn’t have enough games to qualify for the Big Ten title game. If they don’t make the title game, the Buckeyes probably won’t play in the College Football Playoff. Should the Big Ten make an effort to help the Buckeyes? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Of Bangarangs & Daggers Episode 63: Paul Fanson Breaks Down Huskers’ Big Ten Conference Schedule

In this week’s episode Kevin interviews Dr. Paul Fanson who is a contributor over at The Only Colors and a bit of a stats guru. Paul was kind enough to join Kevin and take a detailed look at the odds and probability for the Nebraska Cornhuskers this season in terms of wins and likely seeding come Big Ten Tournament time. There is actually some interesting odds at the probability of Nebrasketball winning “whole thing” and getting an auto-bid, but you’ll have to listen to find out if you feel lucky enough on those betting odds.Paul does a great job explaining how he uses KenPom data to run simulations on the season schedule and determine most likely outcomes. We discuss in depth Nebraska’s stretches on the Big Ten schedule, which games are likely upsets or wins by the Huskers, and where the Nebraska schedule falls in terms of difficulty compared to the other Big Ten schools.Also discussed briefly is who is most likely to win the Big Ten, who got dealt the toughest schedules and who was gift-wrapped the easiest, and a few jokes at Juwan Howard’s expense.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 205: Iowa Still Sucks

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg, Jon, and Todd briefly discuss the malfunction that occurred on Black Friday in Iowa City. We talk about the losses that extend beyond the game, two players leaving the team and a commit opening his recruitment once again.We also discuss the notion that the Big Ten will try to manipulate the schedule to push Ohio State into the conference championship with hopes of bringing a national title back to the Big Ten. I didn’t mention this on the show, but I don’t think the Big Ten is like the SEC with the mentality of “well if it can’t be us, at least it can be someone in our conference.” There aren’t and “B-I-G” chants like there are “S-E-C.” We hate everyone. And everyone hates us. Exactly the way it should be.Jon gives us a brief update on Nebrasketball, but be looking for a new Of Bangarangs and Daggers later today.Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.

HeyooooooOooooo! We have Purdue this week! Are you excited! It might very well be our last game of the season, so you damned well better be.

Always nice to talk to him.Travis and I touch on:That terrible past interference call that cost the Boilers the Minnesota game
Purdue’s excellent receiving threat of David Bell and Rondale Moore
Quarterback Jack Plummer
Is this year real or just a glorified scrimmage against live opponents?
