Husker Doc Talk

Nebraska suffered a tough loss, which was the worst of the season: UCLA 27, Nebraska 20. Despite the home-field advantage and coming off a stellar performance against Ohio State, the Huskers needed this win to secure their first bowl appearance since 2016. But it all unraveled, leaving a hopeful fan base stunned and frustrated in their quest for relevancy. In this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice dive deep into the impact of this loss on Nebraska’s season and explore what steps the program should take moving forward.
