Episode Description

In the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast, Sam McKewon, Evan Bland and Tom Shatel preview Nebraska vs. Illinois and talk what updates are needed at Memorial Stadium.

The crew opens with Nebraska playing on Friday because of a Shawn Eichorst's decision that has carried over but that the Huskers are resilient and can handle it. 

They then move to why Nebraska's sellout streak has lasted for 400 games, while other programs' have seen theirs broken.

The three also talk why the sellout streak may be working against the fan experience and what needs to be updated at Memorial Stadium for Husker Nation.

They talk how, as Matt Rhule said in his press conference, that Nebraska and Illinois are mirror images of each other and because of that what becomes more important in the matchup.

The crew talks what we can learn about the Huskers during their game against the Illini and the upcoming games as well.

They talk Illinois: are the Illini at top 25 team, what the crew expects from the Illinois, etc.

The three talk No. 5 Nebraska volleyball's sweep of No. 2 Stanford, and what it means if the Huskers beat No. 4 Louisville this week. And how good is No. 1 Pitt? 

They close out with their picks for Week 4 and how high Colorado games are on their watch list.
