Trouble for Nebraska football at a spot where it cannot afford to take a hit?

We’re here later than usual to start this midsummer week with reaction to the news that Nebraska running back Mekhi Nelson was arrested in Florida. The Huskers are already thin and inexperienced at his position on the field — and now face an uncertain situation to enter the final month before training camp opens.

EA Sports ranked the Huskers’ talent for the company’s latest video game masterpiece. Who’s underrated? Who’s overrated? What do the rankings tell us about Nebraska? Trae Taylor is now the official MVP of the Elite 11. And Nebraska basketball took a turn under the spotlight on Monday. We react to Fred Hoiberg’s assessment of his 2026-27 squad. New leaders are emerging. Join us for a full episode.
