Nebraska Cornhuskers

Jack Mitchell and Kaleb Henry set the table for brunch after Nebraska takes a loss they could ill afford against Rutgers, where both the offense and defense had their own separate issues that eventually spelled doom.

The game analysis begs the question, is the bigger problem the offense or the defense?

Has the Big Ten solved Nebraska's defense?
Is this just a matchup/execution issue?
Why does Brice look so different as a scorer right now than he has at his best?

The guys look at how Fred's teams have had a tendency of shocking everyone when things seem to have hit a low point, and how soon that needs to happen this year. Plus, the thing that could quickly erase the no good, very bad last three games.

Watch the episode below, and join the guys at 11 a.m. CST on Fridays throughout the season.
