Josh and Jack go into the vault for one of the first episodes of Be Kind Husker Rewind! In honor of the Groin Kick Chronicles, and the 2018 Ohio State game coming in at 62nd in the rankings, they've released an old episode they thought they had lost about one of the biggest moral victory losses of the last decade. Plenty from this has assuredly aged terribly, but that's ok! 2019 didn't go how anyone wanted it to.

Josh welcomes his 1620 the Zone colleague, Matt McMaster, to the Saturday Morning Coffee Show for his I-80 Club debut! They dive into Nebraska football and the 2025 season, in particular Josh's recent HuskerMax column about reasons to doubt the Huskers can take the next step in 2025. In order, they tackle:

1. Are we sure Dylan Raiola can take the next step? (10:56)
2. How much regression should be baked into the defensive cake? (21:21)
3. Are there difference makers on offense or defense? (33:03)
4. Is the schedule as light as it seems on paper? (46:23)
5. Can Nebraska finally close games out? (55:10)

Plus, why 2025 needs to be a setup year to buy into Nebraska in 2026, special teams, and so much more!

Josh Peterson gives a list of the "most palatable" losses of the last decade before discussing each of the bottom ten with Jack Mitchell. Why were there so many Illinois and Ohio State games in this episode? How big of a surprise was it seeing that game at number 69? Or 66? They dive into it all with a tease to the next batch of games.
