Pick Six Podcast: Breaking down the current hype around Nebraska football

The Pick Six Podcast - Husker sports news and analysis

In the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast, Sam McKewon, Evan Bland and Tom Shatel talk the current hype around the Nebraska football program.

They open with the Big Ten football draft for TV networks, how that works as the conference changes and the big games change yearly. The three also talk specifically about which of Nebraska's games are big.

The crew breaks down why TV networks and analysts want the return of Nebraska football to its glory days and if Dylan Raiola — and better quarterback play in general — get the Huskers there.

They also talk recent optimism and hype that goes beyond the QB and how Matt Rhule is the true face of the current program.

The crew discuss the pressure around Dylan Raiola and what the positivity in the national media about the 2024 team.

They talk the strength of the Husker football's line this season and how they may be the strongest positions on the team, while there are question marks at special teams, linebacker and more.

Evan previews his Sunday feature on Troy Dannen.

They close out with Nebraska baseball and the Huskers' big weekend.
