It’s Friday, which means Connor and Mitch are here to offer their picks and predictions for Nebraska in Week 13 of the college football season. We’ve got numbers and names to select as the Huskers host the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Also, another important week in the Big Ten is upon us as No. 5 Indiana meets No. 2 Ohio State in the most unexpected game-of-the-year candidate in conference play. Can the Hoosiers maintain their magic? Do they even need to do it in order to stay in position to qualify for the 12-team College Football Playoff? Penn State looks to stay on track for the CFP at Minnesota. And late at night out west, USC visits the Rose Bowl.

Nationally, chaos rules in the Big 12. We go over scenarios and make selections. Speaking of chaos, what if Army beats Notre Dame? And who would you rather be here in late in November, Nebraska or Oklahoma?

The regular season is winding down at Nebraska, and the mailbag is open on this Thursday. Connor and Mitch are ready with answers to your questions, starting with an inquiry about actions that could be taken to break a supposed curse long ago placed on the Huskers.

Also, what if Heinrich Haarberg had started all through this season? How fast can Dana Holgorsen work to help Dylan Raiola? Should we interpret Holgorsen’s criticisms this week as an indictment against the assistant coaches? All good questions. The hosts talk a bit about the upcoming Nebraska basketball doubleheader in Omaha against Creighton and the fascination with Jayskers.

Finally, are we taking Matt Rhule too literally when he says that he expects a game each week that comes down to the final series? It’s all here. Join us.

Tuesday in Lincoln gave us an opportunity to visit with new Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. We heard about the reasons for his journey to Lincoln, his thoughts on working for Matt Rhule and on coaching Dylan Raiola.

And finally, after Holgorsen got settled in, he dished on Nebraska's offensive personnel. It was not entirely complimentary. Holgorsen "found a guy" in practice, setting off alarm bells around the Nebraska fan base. Connor and Mitch discuss the media session and what Holgorsen means for the Huskers over the final two games of this season, starting on Saturday as Wisconsin invades Memorial Stadium. The Badgers are bidding to extend their 10-game winning streak against Nebraska.

Join us. And submit a mailbag question for Thursday's show.

Nebraska coach Matt Rhule opened up on Monday about the offseason ahead for the Huskers as new limitations will dramatically change the Huskers’ ability to shape their roster in the traditional manner. It’s a subject that weighs on the mind of the head coach even as he works to finish this season strong in games against Wisconsin and Iowa.

On the field, Nebraska must manage a secondary that took its lumps on Saturday at USC. What’s going on with this group of veterans? Connor and Mitch weigh in on some of the pressures that Nebraska faces on defense after a coaching adjustment late in the offseason and an offense that doesn’t win games. Finally, we discuss the upcoming game against Wisconsin. The Badgers face many of the same issues as Nebraska. Rhule expects a contest that will come down to the final drive. Is that the right message to constantly convey?

We’re back from California after USC beat Nebraska 28-20 on Saturday at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The Huskers lived through their regular dose of absurd moments in this fourth consecutive defeat.

Connor and Mitch are here on this Monday to talk about all of it – the contested and deflected passes that turned into crucial USC catches, the missed pass interference at the end, the clock management and decision-making from the Nebraska sideline in the fourth quarter. The Huskers, we expect, will turn the page fast and move on to Wisconsin, which is going through a change of its own at offensive coordinator as it prepares to visit Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

Another interesting week ahead in Lincoln. Join us.

Welcome to sunny southern California. The show is back on the road as the Nebraska football team and many thousands of its fans head for warm weather and a date on Saturday against USC. Mitch is there, too, in position to make our weekend picks with Connor.

We’re looking first at QB Dylan Raiola, who got the green light from coach Matt Rhule after the freshman faced injury concerns. How will Raiola fare in his first game as part of a Dana Holgorsen-directed offensive system? Plenty of intrigue exists around Holgorsen’s debut. We’re here to offer picks and predictions.

In the Big Ten, it’s another week filled with matchups that look lopsided as No. 2 Ohio State goes to Wrigley Field and No. 4 Penn State visits West Lafayette. Elsewhere, is top-ranked Oregon in for a challenge at Camp Randall before Wisconsin visits Nebraska next week? We’re also picking some CFP elimination games in the Big 12 and the SEC.
