Husker247 Podcast: Mickey or the field?

Husker247 gathered during the midpoint of Nebraska’s second bye week to talk about the Purdue game, Nebraska’s team as it heads into the final five contests, Mickey Joseph and where things sit with the recruiting.The show opened with a conversation about Nebraska’s contest at Purdue, what Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson saw on the scene, how Trey Palmer kept getting open, how good Aidan O’Connell and Charlie Jones were and why Nebraska’s pass rush remains a pretty big concern. From there Mike Schaefer posed a question to the group at large — right now if forced to wager is Nebraska’s next coach Mickey Joseph or the field?This led to a discussion about Nebraska’s interim coach and what’s ahead for the Huskers, what likely has to happen for Joseph to keep the job and how winnable any of Nebraska’s final five games are against Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa.Finally recruiting pops up as the trip talks about Lincoln East’s Malachi Coleman and his upcoming decision. Are the Huskers the heavy favorites here? Any surprise teams? Be sure to subscribe to the Husker247 Podcast feed wherever you listen to have every episode automatically downloaded and waiting for you.
