It’s another View from the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald’s Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the big win over Wisconsin and look ahead to Iowa. 

  • Huskers are going bowling!
  • Possible bowl destinations. 
  • The Dana Holgorsen impact: simplifying the playbook, promoting competition, improving performance. 
  • What does Holgorsen’s future hold?
  • Does he want to be a head coach again? Will he be back at Nebraska?

Plus, looking ahead to Iowa: 

  • Night game in 20 degree temperatures. 
  • Iowa has been very strong at home. 
  • Hawkeyes on 4th string quarterback.
  • They may not need much in the passing game – Kaleb Johnson is one of the best running backs in the country. 
  • Iowa rushing offense vs Nebraska rush D: strength on strength.
  • Would most Husker fans be happy with 7-5 at this point? 

Finally, some turkey talk:

  • Favorite Thanksgiving dishes and side dishes. 
  • What are we thankful for when it comes to Nebraska football?
