The Showdown: Taking stock of Nebraska football ahead of game against Rutgers

In the latest episode of The Showdown, Sam McKewon and Amie Just look ahead to Nebraska vs. Rutgers.

They look at how Nebraska football has changed since the Huskers lost to Illinois, and what they expect in the Rutgers game this weekend (Oct. 5).

They also look at questions such as: Can Nebraska fix their special teams units, particularly with field goals? Is Dylan Raiola the Huskers' most consistent player? How will he perform against the Scarlet Knights? How will the teams handle the heat (over 90 degrees!) during this game?

They talk Big Ten basketball media days, coach Amy Williams' thoughts on her team and how difficult the conference is this season. What impact will Britt Prince have on the team?

They move onto men's basketball and if this is a down year for the Big Ten? Do coaches and media not know how to evaluate this Nebraska team and why the Huskers are picked to finish 12th in conference preseason poll.

Sam McKewon is back with season 2 of The Showdown-- with a new co-host Amie Just.

Join Sam and Amie as they dive deep into the Husker sports scene – rationalizing, analyzing, and summarizing as only they can!
