The Common Fans discuss Nebraska’s roller coaster win over the Spartans.  

  • Nebraska looked like they were going to cruise to victory after opening a 14-0 lead early in the game.

  • After MSU scored 21 unanswered points, the Big Red appeared lost.

  • Huskers come roaring back to take over the game and ultimately win comfortably, 38-27.

  • Breakthrough game for the defense.

  • Special teams comes up huge. 

  • Dylan doesn’t quit.

  • Discussing Nebraska’s offensive identity: do the Huskers need to prioritize pounding the rock more?

Plus, the boys discuss the need to enjoy the win:

  • College football can be too much of a beauty pageant, with fans and pundits focused on margin of victory and individual stats over wins and losses. 

  • Nebraska would have lost this game more often than not over the last ten years, and they turned it into a double digit victory. That’s progress.

  • There’s more parity in the game than ever before, and we should celebrate every W.

Huskers at 4-1 and everything this team wants to accomplish is still out in front of it.
