What are the expectations for Jaylen Lloyd, who again emerged as a big play threat with his touchdown on Saturday? Are we confident in Teddy Prochazka at left tackle for the future? What role makes sense for Chubba Purdy based on these final two games? Then the two hit on a few other items on offense, before transitioning over to defense and discussing what the Huskers have in front of them for the 2024 season and what it might look like for the Blackshirts. Finally where are Schaefer and Sharp with Matt Rhule after the first season as Nebraska’s head coach? What stood out? What would they change? What changes are they expecting? It’s a long podcast that touches on both what transpired these last few few months, but also what’s ahead for Rhule and the Huskers.

Things start where the Huskers left off following a demolition of Oregon State basketball. Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson weave through the game, how Brice Williams proved to be an effective scorer, Juwan Gary’s immediate contribution since getting back in the lineup, the reliability of Riek Mast and how this team continues to look like the deepest roster of the Fred Hoiberg era. After some discussions about the game things kick forward into a look at what is next for Nebraska with Duquesne on Wednesday and how the Huskers matchup in general.

Just two games left in the 2024 regular season which makes it the perfect time to get hyped for a Nebraska-Wisconsin matchup where the winner gets a bowl bid and to claim victory in the coaching hires of last offseason, while the loser faces a must win game against a hated rival on the final week of the season to salvage the year. It’s good that there’s some stakes because the game might lack offense given how the teams have played. The Husker247 HypeCast doesn’t lack firepower, however, as The Athletic’s Mitch Sherman joins the show to talk about the Huskers and the upcoming matchup. Things start on offense where the panel walks through Nebraska’s quarterback options for Saturday, what the Huskers have done up front, how things have worked out for Emmett Johnson and the value of this season for Nebraska’s freshmen receivers, even if the numbers haven’t gone way up. Then it’s time for some defensive talk and what the Huskers have received from Tony White this season, what to make of Wisconsin’s different offensive attack after the past few seasons and where the Huskers improved against Maryland. Finally it’s time for predictions. The oddly specific ones first then picks to click and finally game predictions.

This week the Sunday Side Session booked its guest with a celebration in mind as the thought was the conversation around the Huskers should be about which bowl destination fans most want to see. Now KLIN radio host Jack Mitchell and Husker247’s Mike Schaefer are left to debate if a bowl is even a possibility following yet another preventable loss, this time at the hands of Maryland, which beat the Huskers 13-10 on Saturday. The show starts with a discussion about Saturday’s pivotal decision — calling a pass on third-and-goal with Chubba Purdy in the game and the Huskers in chip shot field goal range with just minutes remaining. The two debate the play call and ultimately everything that led up to it, as well as where things sit with Nebraska’s offense following the use of all three quarterbacks in Saturday’s loss to Maryland. There’s discussion about the defense as well and trying to figure out if these Huskers have one more Herculean effort in them to drag the fledgling offense over the proverbial finish line. Finally things finish with a discussion about the remaining two games, Nebraska’s chances and just who should get the opportunity to start on Saturday against the equally confounding and possibly more putrid Wisconsin Badgers.
