Episode Details

Nebraskas football season kicks off against Ohio Bobcats on September 5, 2026. Ohio, led by first-year head coach John Hauser, faces a total offensive rebuild, losing their starting quarterback, top running back, and entire offensive line. They rely on rising junior Duncan Brune, who rushed for 585 yards and 8 scores last year. Nebraskas defense must prepare for Brunes physical running style. Ohios defense was stout last season, holding opponents to 21.9 points per game with 22 sacks and 12 interceptions. Safety DJ Walker, a rising junior captain, is a key player with 61 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 26 straight starts. Ohios quarterback situation is uncertain, with Nick Poulos potentially taking the job. Nebraska has the edge at home, with superior depth and talent, expected to pull away late for a solid opener.
