Jack and Kaleb set the table for brunch after Nebraska takes a loss they could ill afford against Rutgers, where both the offense and defense had their own separate issues that eventually spelled doom. The game analysis begs the question: Is the bigger problem the offense or the defense? Has the Big Ten solved Nebraska's defense or is this just a matchup/execution issue? And why does Brice look so different as a scorer right now than he has at his best? Plus, a look at how Fred's teams have had a tendency of shocking everyone when things seem to have hit a low point. How soon does that need to happen this year? Finally, the thing that could quickly erase the no good, very bad last three games. Did you enjoy the episode?
