In this story:

It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk all the latest with Nebraska football. 

  • What does the win over CU mean for the rest of Nebraska's season?
  • This appears to be the turning point we've been waiting for. 
  • D line dominance: how the Huskers are getting to the quarterback while only rushing three or four players. 
  • Will they need to blitz more in Big Ten play? 
  • How much should we read into Nebraska's sloppy 2nd half on Saturday? 
  • Dylan Raiola continues to impress, as Coach Rhule says “He’s at a whole other level. Those other guys better pick it up.”

Plus, looking ahead to Northern Iowa:

  • #21 FCS team will bring a run-first approach to Lincoln. 
  • Concerns about a letdown?
  • Huskers still in a place where they can't afford to look past anybody.

All this and much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.
