Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Greg and I get together after a a short break to talk (or scream, in my case) about how the year 2021 hasn’t really started yet, and how the 70s produced the worst decade of music in human history, even if the 70s (the decade) was only two years long.We actually get to Husker talk as we discuss what the return of JoJo Domann and Cam Taylor-Britt mean to the Nebraska football team.We discuss the pros and cons of the transfer portal and the national title game between Ohio State and Alabama. Greg dyes his hair. I do too. (I DO NOT! - GM) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ramzy Nazrallah, executive editor of the Ohio State site Eleven Warriors, joins me to discuss the upcoming 2020 College Football Playoff National Title game between the Buckeyes and the Alabama Crimson Tide.Ramzy and I discuss the evil nature of both teams, that fans hate both these teams and are “forced” to root for Ohio State even though they can’t stand them.There’s a lot of star power in this national title game on both sides:Quarterbacks: Justin Fields - Mac Jones
Running Backs: Trey Sermon - Najee Harris
Receivers: Chris Olave - Devonta Smith
Does Ohio State stand a chance of winning?
How will the Buckeyes stop or slow down the incredible ‘Bama offense?
Is Ohio State’s defense up to the task?
And finally, I ask Ramzy:Do you want to thank Nebraska for bringing back Big Ten football?It’s a fun interview! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dedrick Mills had a of a game as Nebraska defeated Rutgers 28-21 last week to wrap up the 2020 Nebraska football season.But could Mills have done more? Well, yes, but that’s not his fault. You can carry your team inside the 5, but you can’t get the call for a handoff, apparently.Lovie Smith is out at Illinois and the most unthinkable coach is hired as his replacement.And Nebraska players vote to not play in a bowl game.

All of that, and more including some ever classic Brad Davison hate from Kevin.Finally, Matt and Kevin discuss the depth of the Big Ten and who they think is a contender versus a pretender.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Jon and Greg are joined by Akelo Roberts to talk about some of the more recent events in Nebraska Football.Akelo was in Lincoln and in Memorial Stadium for the Huskers’ loss to Minnesota, so we spend a little time talking about his first visit to Nebraska. While it ended in a Husker loss, Akelo had a good, albeit cold, trip up north. So much that when he returned to the 68 degrees in Florida, he was sweating.We don’t feel sorry for him.Then we get into recruiting, and Nebraska’s big day this past Wednesday.Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.

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 You Go Ahead and Hold A Guy You Can’t Block”
Why experience matters
Why Rutgers is a dangerous opponent

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
