Adam Carriker speaks off the cuff/Gut Reaction style about Nebraska, Matt Rhule, Emmett Johnson, TJ Lateef & Husker football in this unique episode of the Carriker Chronicles. Carriker always prepares a lot, but he doesn’t use many notes in this raw and candid show! Nebraska football has to get better and do so very soon.

Nebraska is off for Week 12 of the 2025 season, giving the Huskers two weeks to prepare for their Nov. 22 game at Penn State. The bye is the second of two that Rhule's team will have this season. It comes after Nebraska played a game in six consecutive weeks, a stretch in which it went 4-2, with its losses coming to Minnesota and No. 18 USC.

Nicole Schonlau is hoping the Huskers will recognize her husband's dedication to the team and to his family during this difficult time.

The Hoosiers host the unbeaten Cornhuskers, who clinched the Big Ten championship, with an opportunity to improve its NCAA tournament seed.

Penn State kept alive its push for the postseason with a dominant performance on senior night Saturday against Nebraska. The Nittany Lions beat the Huskers 37-10 at Beaver Stadium, showing the mix of physicality and big-play ability too often missing from their arsenal this year.

High three-star running back Amir Brown has committed to the University of Nebraska. The 5-10, 200-pounder was once committed to North Carolina, but he'll now head to Lincoln to play for head coach Matt Rhule and the Cornhuskers.

The Cornhuskers have a 5-0 record in non-conference play. Nebraska ranks fourth in the Big Ten with 28.0 defensive rebounds per game led by Sam Hoiberg averaging 5.4. The Wildcats have a 5-0 record in non-conference play. Kansas State scores 94.4 points and has outscored opponents by 16.2 points per game.

The USC Trojans’ nine-match surge ended with a sweep by the No. 1 Nebraska Cornhuskers, but Brad Keller’s message was blunt: no excuses, no moral victories. The loss, he said, highlights the standard USC must rediscover as it heads into the final stretch.
