How bizarre have the last 2 months been? Penn State got their first conference win last week and now sit at 4-6 overall…for a team that made the playoffs last year, are they really fighting to make a bowl game or do you see any signs of them possibly letting their guard down vs. Nebraska? Dylan Raiola is probably the most talented passer on Nebraska, but TJ Lateef is able to run…how much will that cause problems for the Nittany Lions defense?   Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Yes, things got a little uncomfortable late in the 4th quarter, but Nebraska never trailed in a game they led 28-7 and held on to win at the end…thanks to a nice offensive series to finish off the game with the lead Emmett Johnson’s All-American portfolio grew stronger with another big game—29 rushes for 129 yards and a TD; and 3 receptions for 103 yards and 2 TDs. An incredible individual season continues on, and how about the performance of Lateef? Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A man on Twitter, (Parker Fleming, @statsowar), went through every college football team’s score differential by quarter and made a graph…Nebraska has an expected positive point differential in the first quarter (18.51); 2nd quarter (18.42); and 4th quarter (21.77). We saw the 4th quarter be positive for Nebraska vs. Michigan State, Maryland, and others But the third quarter has Nebraska at (-31.53) in expected point differential from what has happened this season.
