About this listen

WELCOME IN, HUSKER NATION!

On today’s episode of Bleav in Nebraska, we’re keeping it tight and current with everything that’s happened since last Thursday — and we start with the headline the whole country is finally screaming:

NEBRASKA IS UP TO A PROGRAM-BEST NO. 7 IN THE AP TOP 25.
That jump comes right after a dominant road win at Northwestern where the Huskers handled business from start to finish.

Husker Heat Check: Nebraska stays PERFECT

Nebraska crushed Northwestern 77–58 to move to 18–0 overall and 7–0 in Big Ten play — and it didn’t feel fluky or fragile. It felt controlled.

  • Pryce Sandfort: 20 points
  • Braden Frager: 20 points
  • Sam Hoiberg: 12 points + 7 boards
The biggest takeaway? 18–0 isn’t just historic — it’s starting to look repeatable. This team is showing week-to-week consistency, toughness, and the ability to win games without needing a miracle finish.

Football: Staff hires + QB competition vibes

Then we pivot to football as Matt Rhule continues the build toward 2026 with official defensive staff moves:

  • Corey Brown hired as defensive line coach
  • Miles Taylor hired as safeties coach
This is the foundation phase — if Nebraska gets stronger in the trenches and cleaner on the back end, everything else gets easier.

And we close with a big QB note: Anthony Colandrea (new transfer QB) toured the football facilities — and the important part isn’t just the visit, it’s what it represents: real QB competition and a clear signal that Nebraska is serious about upgrading the room and raising the floor heading into next season.

We’ll keep tracking what these staff hires mean for recruiting momentum and what the defensive identity looks like as this roster continues to take shape.
