About this listen

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy on Corn Nation, host Minnie Hunt and co-host Fred Sacco welcomed an active chat audience for a wide-ranging discussion on Nebraska football. The conversation mixed humor, nostalgia, and analysis, with Fred sporting a vintage 1997 coaches pullover and reminiscing about past Husker gear. Early chatter focused on fall camp updates, the Big Red Preview, and new special teams energy under coach Mike Ekeler. They highlighted Australian punter Archie Wilson’s athleticism and arm strength, as well as transfer kicker Kyle Cunanan’s powerful leg.

Talk shifted to offensive line improvements, with optimism about depth, continuity, and a possible Joe Moore Award bid. Jake Butt of the Big Ten Network and analyst Phil Steele both praised Nebraska’s attention to detail and playoff potential, fueling cautious excitement. The duo previewed upcoming opponents, noting that most tough games are at home and only Penn State looms as a clear underdog matchup.

Defensive standouts like Vincent Shavers, Marquis Buford, and Oklahoma transfer Dasan McCullough drew attention, as did running backs Emmett Johnson and breakout candidate Makai Nelson. While Minnie projected optimism, Fred tempered expectations, stressing proof on the field. The show closed with playful banter, shirt auctions, and a “Go Big Red” send-off.
