Welcome back to Bleav in Nebraska — the podcast for the fans, by the fans, hosted by Bryan Colbert Jr.

Today’s show is all about impact and legacy.
We kick things off by honoring a beloved Husker tradition—the annual Nebraska Football Road Race, inspired by the unforgettable Jack Hoffman run. Now over a decade strong, the race still finishes with a symbolic 69-yard stretch, just like Jack’s legendary touchdown. Over $300,000 has been raised for pediatric brain cancer research in his name.

Then, we shift to a new tradition in the making: Dylan Raiola hosted his first youth football camp in Lincoln—and he did it with class, purpose, and a strong support system. We celebrate what it means for a young QB to give back this early in his career.

In this week’s Big Red Rewind, we pull audio straight from Raiola’s camp—including some player surprises and offseason notes (yes, EJ's transformation is real 👀).

And to wrap things up in Bleav It or Not:
The Big Ten Network ranked Dylan Raiola as the No. 4 QB in the Big Ten heading into 2025. Is it too soon? Just right? And what does that say about Nebraska's ceiling this season?

All that and more on this week's Bleav in Nebraska.

• Husker Heat Check: Tradition lives on with the Jack Hoffman-inspired Road Race 🏃‍♂️

Welcome back to Bleav in Nebraska — the official voice of Husker Nation, hosted by Bryan Colbert Jr.

This Thursday, we’ve got a jam-packed show starting with a 🔥 Husker Heat Check:
Offensive lineman Gunnar Gottula is officially cleared and back for fall camp after offseason surgery. What does his return mean for a reshaped Husker offensive line and a rushing attack already gaining 130+ yards per game?

Then it’s time for our first-ever Red Rewind — featuring the best soundbites from this week’s Husker Hoops pressers as Pryce Sandfort and Kendall Blue are introduced to the Big Red faithful.

• Why Sandfort flipped from Iowa

• How Blue’s unique skillset could reshape Fred Hoiberg’s offense

• And which one might be used as a 6’6” point guard 👀

After that, we turn to Bleav It or Not — because Nebraska is being picked 7th in the Big Ten this year, per Pick Six Previews. They finished 13th last year. Is a Year 3 Matt Rhule surge coming?

Plus:

• Jack McVeigh goes OFF in Summer League
