HUSKERS HAPPY HOUR: The Huskers Get Their 1st Big 10 Opener Win Since 2019!

It’s true.The Huskers had not won a Big 10 opener since defeating Illinois 42-38 back in 2019. We talked about this, and as always, many other things.Mylie kicked things off by dropping in and catching us up on some volleyball talk with those ladies currently undefeated and ranked #1, but having dropped a few sets dropped a few sets in recent matches. Is it reason for worry and who out there is built to beat them. Mylie had some answers.We then shifted to football talk covering items such as how, while the performances were not perfect, the offense and defense picked up for each other the entire game and came away with a 31-13 road win in their opener over Pat Fitzgerald and Michigan State. I also discussed how this may be an early reflection of the roster’s new look of being upperclassman-heavy with much more experience than recent years.There wasn’t much to give in the way of injury updates for Jamal Rule and Jacory Barney, but there was a good reason for that. And Vince Genatone’s big day most definitely came up, as well as the story behind Riley Van Poppel no longer wearing a single-digit jersey.As always, we ran through the drive chart and the numbers for the game, both team and individual. We previewed Maryland and shared Matt Rhule’s well-founded warning on why the Terps shouldn’t be overlooked despite their rough loss to UCLA.And we definitely jumped into the comments, which always carry a good chunk of he evening.
