The Common Fans discuss all the latest Husker news of the last week, including comments from Scott Frost and a new development with the Michigan game in September.

• Frost’s inability to say the word “Nebraska.”
• Many Husker fans want to see the former player and coach succeed again at UCF, but it would help if he could acknowledge his time in Lincoln.
• The absurdity of Michigan trying to slap its own wrist as a penalty for the cheating scandal.
• Why would the Wolverines propose Nebraska as the only conference game Sherrone Moore should miss?
• Trae Taylor’s commitment: the first commit of the 2027 class is a big time QB who is already peer recruiting for the Huskers.

The Common Fans talk some big picture takeaways as spring ball wraps up and we look ahead to the 2025 season.

1) Questions Questions Everywhere

• While optimism around the program is high, there are a number of questions that won’t be answered until the season starts in the fall.
• What will special teams look like under new coordinator Mike Ekeler?
• Can the defense continue its stellar play that has come to define the Rhule era?
• How much can the offense improve under Dana Holgorsen?

2) Dylan Raiola is the Face of the Program

• Raiola joining the women’s flag football contest during the Husker Games is just the latest example of Raiola embracing his leadership role.
• Raiola is perhaps even more of a face of the program than Matt Rhule.

3) Just Win Baby

• Some of Rhule’s comments during spring ball indicate he understands the stakes for his third year leading the program.
• Rhule is hyper-focused on the one thing that matters most in his job: winning football games.
• Husker fans have been through so much over the last decade, even the most optimistic need to see it on the field.

Josh Peterson joins the Common Fans to discuss a wide range of Husker football-related matters, including the topic that took over Husker Twitter early last week: whether or not there’s too much Nebraska football coverage, and whether anything can be learned from spring ball.

• The Common Fans are shocked to learn there are people out there who don’t want to talk about the third team linebacker in March.
• In all seriousness, the crew has a respectful discussion about the back-and-forth that took place between some members of the Nebraska media and many fans last week.
• The massive amounts of Husker football coverage and content stems from demand from the fan base, and that’s a good thing.
• What can be learned from spring ball?
• Understanding a younger generation that hasn’t seen much winning.
• The boys also discuss:
• How the quarterback room stacks up after Dylan Raiola.
• How to define success for the 2025 season.
• Which games would be the most disappointing to lose.
