The Common Fans look at Matt Rhule’s history of taking a big leap in his third year at a program, and provide their reasons for why it will happen at Nebraska in 2025.

• Everyone agrees – special teams must be better (and with Mike Ekeler on board, it will!).
• Lots of belief in what Dana Holgorsen can do for the offense.
• The moves Rhule has made (roster and coaching staff) + his experience = team-wide belief.
• Can the Blackshirts continue to thrive under new coordinator John Butler?
• On the lookout for an Emmett Johnson breakout season.
• Schedule lines up nicely for the Huskers to make a run.

The Common Fans celebrate their 100th episode (!!!) by going through every position group on the roster and breaking down where the Huskers have had the biggest gains - and losses - heading into the 2025 season.

• Major losses on the defensive side of the ball, both through graduation and transfers leaving.
• Can they replace Ty Robinson and the Polar Bear on the D line?
• Linebackers have an exciting mix of returning talent, transfer portal additions, and new recruits from the high school ranks.
• O line added two major transfers – one from Alabama and one from Notre Dame – and they look to be in a strong place heading into next year.
• Emmett Johnson is the man, but the running back room is otherwise lacking proven depth.
• Major excitement about the incoming wide receivers.
• Assessing the quarterback room with two new important additions.

Even in the offseason, it’s been a busy stretch for Nebraska football and the Common Fans cover it all!

• David City, Nebraska native Mike Ekeler is announced as Nebraska’s new special teams coordinator.
• Ekeler is an elite special teams coach, and may well end up being the most important addition of the offseason.
• The Common Fans also discuss Matt Rhule’s comment that there will likely not be a spring game in 2025.
• Whether you love the spring game or it doesn’t move the needle for you, this is one more example of the changes in college football working against the common fan.
• Will Valentino’s and Runza still be served at Memorial Stadium? What kind of new options will be available? Questions abound as the Common Fans discuss the new concessions vendor for Nebraska football games.
• And finally, the crew celebrates the addition of Rocco Spinlder, a veteran Notre Dame lineman who recently announced his transfer to Nebraska.
