The Nebraska football team will finish the first half of its season on Saturday at Memorial Stadium against Rutgers. As Matt Rhule’s team moves ahead after four wins in five games, we’re talking about special teams – which has not served the Huskers well.

Are we hearing it as it is from Rhule when it comes to the kicking game, or is the Nebraska coach working to speak improvement into existence? Connor and Mitch look at the numbers and discuss where the improvement needs to start for the Huskers to field an average to above average unit of coverage and kick teams. Also, the Big Ten acted on Monday about an officiating problem. But it was a weak response to an issue that never should have rated as a problem.

And we finish this episode by discussing the emergence of Ceyair Wright, the USC transfer and silver-screen son of LeBron James who’s given the Huskers a boost in the secondary. How much can Wright impact the second half of this season?
