Nebraska 40 UTEP 7. The Huskers won their season opener for the first time since 2019. It is an impressive start for a team looking to end the longest bowl drought in the Power 4. It is also an impressive start for Dylan Raiola, who is just the second true freshman in Nebraska history to start the season opener.

On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka dive deep into the victory that was one of the most impressive the Huskers have had in years. In short, Nebraska did what it was supposed to do: beat an inferior team in an inferior conference. However, the victory was not perfect, and Dr. Rob explains what he would like to see improve if they want to take the next step and contend for a Big 10 Title. That might be putting the cart before the horse, but the end game is to win a conference title. 

Colorado is next for the Huskers. Last Thursday, the Buffs knocked off North Dakota State using a one-dimensional offense (passing game). Dr. Rob makes no bones about it: He doesn't like Colorado, its team, its fans, or anything else. He explains why. Nebraska clearly looks like the better team at this point, but there are still several reasons (athletic players) to be worried about this game.
