Nebraska heads to Beaver Stadium for a sneaky-tough road test against Penn State, and we’re breaking down every angle of this matchup. From Emmett Johnson’s Heisman buzz to TJ Latif’s second start on the road, this episode dives deep into what it’ll take for the Huskers to steal one on Senior Day.
We open by setting the stage for Nebraska vs Penn State — a game many penciled in as a sure loss back in August, but now feels a lot more winnable. The guys talk about how both teams ended up here, why Penn State has underperformed expectations, and how Nebraska is still right where most expected record-wise…just in a very different way. There’s a shout-out to our bye-week crossover with Elijah Herbal, including more Raiola talk, Emmett Johnson hype, coaching staff trajectory, and a big-picture 2026 outlook.
From there, we dive into the Penn State defense: heavy third-down blitz looks, surprisingly average conference stats, and key names like Dani Dennis-Sutton and Kobe King in the front seven. Then it’s Penn State’s offense — the freshman QB, the Allen–Singleton backfield, their middle-of-the-road production, and how Nebraska’s run defense and tackling will be stressed. We talk TJ Latif’s poise, the O-line’s recent improvement in sack protection, and how Emmett Johnson might need another massive day to keep the Huskers on schedule.
In the back half, we outline nine custom prop bets for the game (rushing yards, sacks allowed, explosive runs, third-down percentage, missed tackles, and more) and close with score predictions, spread thoughts, and over/under leans. Special teams, punt return yardage, and the Beaver Stadium environment all factor into whether Nebraska can pull off a feel-good road win.
