It's time to go one-on-one with D.P. Coming at you live from the heart of Lincoln America, a 93-7-the-ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Sponsored by the Downtown Lincoln Foundation. Here is your host, Derek Pearson. How about a one-on-one boom here to start your Thursday afternoon. A little bit of a rainy day here in Lincoln, Nebraska, but still a good day if you're a college football fan because we've got the Fiesta Bowl coming up,

Old Miss, and Miami. So that should be exciting for a chance to punch their ticket to the national championship game. We had a listener bring in some helmets, which is very cool. Two of the best, Austin, Oberman, Jordan, me so far. We'll have Nick Sainert, by the way, in studios. Jake Falkovan, Nick will join us in the second segment.

This is kind of a beautiful helmet combination, I believe, Miami and in Ole Miss. Of course, there's a history of a rivalry with Miami, but it is pretty cool. They get to throw up the you, the orange and green. There's not many teams that have that. And then the Old Miss kind of has corrected their ways, like many teams. They see that the darker blue shade of that kind of became popular, the early 2000s, throw that to the side. Get back to that light blue.

they've been wearing once again and so I think it's a beautiful helmet collision that we'll see tonight. So it's not a traditional helmet game, right? You know, like Miami USC or like Miami, Ohio State in the last matchup. But yeah, it's not bad. I'm not going to lie.

I still think of Ole Miss in more of the Navy than the lighter baby blue. But what we need to need to acknowledge is that it's good that old miss is good and interesting because how many other schools claim a land shark as one of their mascots, right?

Like a land shark, are you kidding me? What does that even mean? What's a land shark? I mean, you know, what a water shark is, a great white shark and hammerhead sharks and tiger sharks, whatever, like land shark, man, fire me up, Ole Miss. I will say, I still think of, you know, Ole Miss and Mississippi State being in the first initial,

in the top four of the college football playoff ranking. Oh, that's right, yeah. Think about that area of the state of Mississippi was running college football for about three weeks until neither ended up making the initial four team playoff. But, you know, the baby-ish blues, the sky are blues for Ole Miss have definitely, definitely grown up. I love it. I think it's beautiful. But again, I think this is happening across sports. Like the Chargers, it was just, it was the thing. It was like the early 2000s, the baby blue almost seemed like, well, it looks like an 80s or 70s color or whatever. Let's, you know, all except for North Carolina or the teams that

like, you know, that was part of their identity or part of their primary color. didn't, you know, made the switch and now, you know, you see the Royals do it. I mean, everybody, when they go back to that baby blue look, they sell jerseys, right? It's nostalgic, and that kind of touched a nerve with me. I don't mind the Royals powder blues. Not my favorite thing. It's a little

to Carolina adjacent for me, but I get like, that was the thing back in the day. And you got to pick at that nostalgia bone every so often. I got to scratch that nostalgia itch, and I get it. I don't mind the powder blue tops. I'm not a fan of the full powder blues. The new powder hats and the powder pants were not my favorite. And that got me in trouble with, like, my dad who grew up.

That was, those are the royals. That's what they were wearing the whole time. And, you know, you can do better than just like plain royal blue and white, right? You're not the Dodgers. You need a little bit of something to spice it up, I guess. Fine. I don't mind the powder blue accents. I didn't like the Navy and light blue city connects that they had there for a while.

But those have grown on me. I got a little hoodie shirt that I like to wear. So it's not bad. My favorite, though, I mean, you're always associated with winning, was the year after the Royals won the World Series. They get the home whites with the Royal Blue, but they get the gold trim. The gold trim around and the letters on the chest

and also the initials on the caps as well. And it's reserved for the team that just won the World Series the year before, so you can't always do it. But I wish the Royals could find a way to kind of skirt around that and I just have those two primary colors, you know, the home whites, the road blues, and maybe the gray alternates.

Man, fire some gold trim in there. Like, you're the royals. It's regal. Come on, find a way to sneak some hints of gold in there a little bit more.

I completely agree. It's on their logo, right? I mean, so it's there. And it is something. I mean, if you just used it as an accent color,

it pops quite a bit. And it really helps like any, I mean, you can throw it in with any color combination, but especially, you know, blue and or light blue and white, it's seemingly.

transition. You can't do like full golds. That just ends up looking funky. Like you, maybe the Vegas Knights can pull it off, but I don't think the Royals could ever go full gold. And to be completely honest, I'm very biased in that direction. I just told you. Obviously, the Royals, but

going to Lincoln Lutheran, it was blue and yellow and then they made a switch to Navy and Vegas gold. Like, okay, that's pretty sick. I like that. I've always had this weird affinity from Marquette, which is, I don't know where that came from, because I wasn't a D. Wade guy. So, like, Marquette was good.

They were fun to watch every so often. They were beating Creighton in the Big East. So I guess that's maybe where part of it came from, too. But again, there's blue. There's white, yellow with some kind of powder blue accents that they'll mix in from time to time. You know, Creighton tried to pull off the Duke thing. And they went with their navies that they wore against Nebraska. That was so hideous.

It was so bad. Yeah. That matchup needs to be red versus blue every year. Yeah. But Creighton, you're not Duke. I didn't love when Duke did it. Those are kind of growing on me, too. I don't mind a Navy anymore.

You know, I think Duke pulled it off. I don't think Creighton did quite as well. I think they tried a little bit too hard. I think you can add Navy, but I see most people's point where if you go to like the Ole Miss style lighter blue, that's probably going to pop for more people. Yeah, yeah. So I think it is an aesthetically pleasing matchup tonight as we see it out there.

And then as we've been talking, just the rise of baby blue over the last several years made its way back into it. And I think it looks fantastic. So, you know, that's kind of funny. that's kind of a circular too, you know, in life. It's kind of funny, too, because when I was younger, I, you know, the styles of the 90s, I grew up in the 90s, kind of early 2000, you know, somewhat cringy now at times, but, you know, they were, I was told then like, okay, this, you know, styles are circular. Some of this, you know, 70s, 80s stuff will come back. I'm like, no,

there's no way. And then you get far enough way from the 90s, you're like, that's never going to come back either. And now, you know, that's kind of the fad. So it's, it's, it's kind of funny to see how that happens. And after all, you know, the elder generation, the parents were right. Stiles will go around and come around. Also, it will go around and come around. It seems like college football players in the transfer portal. The latest news there is Kenneth Williams entering the transfer portal. Very interesting. Obviously, a great story from walk on to scholarship, you know, from walk on, quite frankly, to all conference as a kick returner. And always kind of a thought back there in the back of basically

everybody's mind of, well, what do you look like as a running back? You know, because he definitely has the speed to burn there. And it is, it is, you know, obviously we've seen some guys jump into the portal and come back this year already in Brayland Prude and Larry Tarver, so

potential for that to happen. But for a team that doesn't have a whole lot of pop or big playability, I mean, that this is actually a bigger loss than what people maybe are making it out to be, at least for me, right now maybe it only affects two or three plays a year three or four plays a year as far as big time games changing swings but again Nebraska just didn't have a whole lot of players that

were capable of doing that so you know it is it is one where I think people just kind of say okay special teams player not the biggest hit for Nebraska but you know really I can't what team did he have the the big moment against where he kind of turned the second half well he had the the long kick return against Maryland. Yeah. Yeah. They got that one off and running. Then the kickoff return, who did that one? Was that Northwestern it came against? Yeah, it seems like it.

I'll look it up to double check. But yeah, it's so, I mean, I think this is a rather big loss again. Not necessarily a guy that you projected to get too many minutes out of the backfield, but you know, all conference players and all conference player. And Nebraska hasn't had many of them. And in a second team

on special teams, so that's still, to your point, more than Nebraska has had. A guy that the staff always talked up, a guy the staff always liked, I think it's unfortunate, but if you can't find another kick returner, isn't that a bigger indictment? You know, local kid, you get the Lincoln High connection, and sure, you'd like to keep him around, but if this is a young man that thinks he can do more than just return kicks,

I mean, he never, maybe once saw the field as an actual running back that he was recruited to be. If he thinks he's developed enough to the level that he can play the running back, in college football, I don't blame him. I think he was still, you know, pretty far down the death chart, probably fourth in terms of the guys whose names you bring up behind Nelson, Mosy, and still Quentin Ives for the time being. So, if that's what it's about, so be it, best luck to you, young man, go get it.

Well, then Nebraska's got to find someone else to put back there, which you wouldn't think would be that hard. Should it, should it be that hard to find a kick returner? Like, did it take, was it Mike Echler that made Kenneth Williams good? it just, hey, Nebraska has Kenneth Williams. Look at him. He can return kicks now. He's just a natural. He's a savanti returning kicks. I mean, he wasn't Devin Hester back there. He was good, but he wasn't, you know, like you said,

once every few games, he would do something to give you a little spark and you have the moment with the kickoff return. And that's not to minimize what he did. But I'm sorry, if you can't find another person who can return the ball to the 30 sometimes, that's on you. Well, I mean, they're going to hope to get a guy to bring it to the 30, right? But it's those big plays, the big play possibility that we're kind of mention there. And again, it was just maybe a few plays here and there throughout the season. Yeah, like you said, it kind of had that 85 yarder early in the season against Maryland. That was a big play in that game. Of course, these are both the, the Maryland and the Northwestern game,

which he impacted Nebraska. Those are single, you know, possession of victory, right? Yeah. Which Nebraska's really struggled with over the years, as we know, did return that opening kickoff the second half, 95 yards against Northwestern to get that going. Here's the, thing. And as we know, Nebraska's special teams have been bad particularly since that date, but Nebraska's first kickoff return for a touchdown since 2017. Again, that's directly in line with Scott Frost who kind of threw special teams the side and didn't care too much for him. So, you know, maybe there is that. But, you know, to me, again, I, you know, it is one thing to be able to get a guy, like you said, to consistently kind of return punts and, you know,

or kicks, excuse me. And the other thing is you got to give a lot of credit to Mike Eckler and everybody else on the field. Because if you can kind of draw it, up and I think that was part of it and get a lane for him, then, you know, hopefully you've got somebody with enough speed back there to make a difference. So again, I'm not here to say that this is the biggest loss of the portal, but for a team that doesn't have a whole lot of big time play ability or at least didn't show that off this year, he showed that he could swing you some games. I mean, without those two touchdowns, you know, maybe you don't make it to the bold destination that you wanted to. So, I mean, we'll see, but we were talking about it too.

I think part of that, as far as like the big play, impact and all that stuff, listen, Anthony, Anthony Calendria is that type of guy. It might be a big play for the other team at times. But a big play nonetheless. But I think that that's going to be the most interesting thing is we kind of transition from that to the quarterback. And I haven't had a chance to talk with you too much about it is Nebraska, you know, the team and obviously Dana Hogerson, the offense kind of went through a transition.

We're earlier in the year they were kind of relying more on the passing game. We know they kind of eventually kind of found themselves with Emmett Johnson there, especially after Dylan Riola went out. But whether was Dylan or T.J. Latif starting, it was, I mean, they did a good job of avoiding turnovers. And they have done that since the first year where that was the big bugaboo, right, for Nebraska. But they didn't, it wasn't all just because they, you know, they were just pretty risk-averse in their play calling in their shots down field, I guess is what I'm leading to.

I don't think that's going to be the case with this quarterback. So I'm, you know, not to say that he's got a huge arm. He's going to chuck it down the field, but he is, he is somewhat of a gunslinger. I mean, he'll take those risks and Nebraska's going to kind of have to live with them. So a lot more big play potential, maybe with just the changing quarterback there. Are you saying Tommy Armstrong is back? I think something around that line. And that's what I think Nebraska kind of needs is I kind of looked at, especially Utah and Devin on

dampier is what you know what he would have injected into a nebraska offense and you know i hope that you're going to get the same thing the same level of rise obviously that's the hope with calandria coming in and he can obviously tune out a lot of those interceptions and the men's stake prone stuff that is what happened um with dampier i mean he had 12 touchdowns 12 picks last year before he turned before coming to utah and then of course had this this magnificent season and of course Nebraska made it look better than almost everybody else does but he He was, I mean, early on in the season, he was in the Heisman talk. So, you know, I, and that's when I, when I sit back and look at it and think about, you know,

Calandria versus T.J. Lateef or even T.J. Lateef with Minchie, and I think the hope was to get Munchy a little bit more playmaking ability out there, right? But we haven't seen enough of it yet. Is that this offense is, is changing a little bit from being rather risk averse to we need some pop to this offense. And so I mean, I don't know how you feel about the how the quarterback, kind of the mincey, all the thing together, but I feel like Nebraska landed where I wanted

to them to land from the beginning, which is, and it's funny that you bring up Tommy Armstrong, again, you might not be in a position to go out there and get the Sam Levitz the Brennan Sorosbees, but find a gamer. Find a guy that's at least going to give you a chance, sometime going to cause you some headaches, but is going

to go out there and play some ball. First of all, shout out my buddy Nick, who do text me directly. Some say that Tommy Armstrong is the best quarterback in Nebraska history. I don't know who's saying that. Nick, I hope it's not you. I respect you too much to believe that you're the one saying that. I like Tommy and I think he's gone probably underappreciated as the years have gone on. A lot of the complaining in the moment of, well, he's just chucking it downfield. Where's he throwing it? Or, you know, look at all these interceptions that he threw. No, Tommy's a gamer. I think that's the perfect

description of him. Won Nebraska a lot of games. Maybe lost him one or two here or there, but I don't think Tommy was the biggest issue with those Bo-Polini teams. I'm a Tommy Armstrong guy. I'm a Tommy Armstrong fan. Grew up on Tommy in a lot of ways. But guess what?

He was supported by a good running game as well. Tommy had some dudes. He could hand the ball off too, especially as he was growing into his own as a quarterback. In terms of the style, right, the gunslinger gamer kind of style. Okay, Nebraska defense,

here's your challenge. If Nebraska's offense is going to give it away a few more times, you better take it away a few more times. You better be ready for those sudden change scenarios. difficult to ask a year one defense to do unless it's not. Unless Nebraska's brought in playmakers at the second level, unless Andrew Marshall takes a leap forward as a CB1 now for Nebraska.

I don't love it. I don't hate it. There's a lot of different ways to build a winner. But at the end of the day, Bach, Nebraska's offense needs more possessions than its defense has to face. That's how good teams get good, is that they have the ball more often than other teams. Maybe it's time of possession.

I think that's less important more so than the number of times you're actually able to go down and score. The more times you have the ball, the more possessions you have the ball, the more opportunities you have to score. And that's the name of the game for an offense. So someone like Calandra, who's going to push the envelope, it might be good for Nebraska because how many times have we seen Nebraska quarterbacks, not just over the last two years, but the last five, six, seven years have windows to throw, but either not have their eyes in the right spot or not be willing to pull the trigger because they don't believe in the guy they're throwing to. They don't believe in their arm. It's not a perfect platform, whatever it is.

Say what you will about Calandria. He'll let that thing rip. You know, he'll take off and run for it. He's pretty fearless. He thinks he can make the first down and more every time. There's a line there. It's one of those things, right, that makes players like this special. It is not that they rein it in, is that they let it rip in a lot of cases.

There will be plenty of exciting moments. There will be some rabbits out of a hat. There will be some real head scratchers. what were you seeing? How do you possibly think you could get that through? Who do you think you are sort of moments? You hope that it tips the positive way for Nebraska and that the risk does indeed become worth the reward because I think Nebraska has been missing a little bit of that. Then here's the flip side box. Anthony Colangria can't be Superman, right? How many times did it feel like Tommy Armstrong went full Superman to his detriment? Adrian Martinez after

him. Casey Thompson less so, maybe that was due to injuries. But I mean, especially Adrian Martinez, sometimes Dolan Ryola through the air, I don't want Nebraska's quarterback to feel like they have to do it alone. It's great to get those big splash plays, those exciting plays. How did he do that? But if it comes at the expensive consistency in the pocket, if it comes at the expense of, you know, three turnovers for every one big play like that, that's not worth it. It just can't be worth it at the end of the day. Yeah. And again, I do fear that might be where Nebraska's offense is, is that they needed a Superman, right? Because you lose him at Johnson. Obviously, they're piecing together an offensive line that I think is going to be rather

respectable, but that was a big problem, especially early on with your pocket quarterbacks last year. But this is, again, I opened up the segment talking about stuff that was cyclical. Back when Tommy Armstrong was around, I remember, you know, Tom Stevens, former co-host of mine, that was one of his big things is kind of year after year. It's like they need a quarterback that doesn't have to do it all. And I think Nebraska's probably back in that position. And again, this is, you know, obviously prognosticating, but part of this is looking at where Nebraska season finished off last year.

And a lot of blame goes on the defense. And well, it should. I mean, 40 points plus given up in the final two games, 37, obviously, or more in the final three games. But on the opposite side, they weren't scoring a whole lot of points either. And so, you know, that's where it's so interesting. And again, I, we got a long offseason. We'll get to the Kool-Aid.

We'll get all into it and all that stuff. It's been eight days since the ball game, five. Eight days. Is the off-season over yet? I don't. Are we there yet? I mean, we're still working on building the team, right?

So you can't come in and say, okay, this is what, how they're going to do. I predict this and that. I mean, we've got to see how this all plays out. But the point is from where Nebraska left off, what are their strengths? You know, when you talk about, okay, the defense is going to have to step up. I'm sitting back and thinking, well, is the. offense or the defense, the strength of the team. I got to tell you, I don't see a strength at this point.

We'll see if one can kind of step up, but especially with losing Emmett Johnson, kind of the key to your, the whole, not just the key, but basically all the production on your offense, you know, it is, it's somewhat of a blank slate heading in the next year about who's going to be the strength of the team. And so, well, I get it. But again, that leads me to, I think they needed to go find somebody out there that had it within them to become the Superman, at least to spark something going here. And that's why, you know, when I look at T.J. Latif and I think he's on a fine trajectory

and he's a freshman. I can't wait to see what he does down the line, hopefully in the scarlet and cream. And I think it's great if you can keep him in Calandria in the same room, obviously. You know, all that sort of stuff, great for depth, great for Flander gets a little turnover, all that sort of stuff. But I don't know if you have that Superman type of lift from T.J. Lateef, at least this point in his group. No, I completely agree. And I think what you're saying is certainly defensible. It might be semantics, might just be framing.

But hey, we're on sports stock radio. So that's what we're here to discuss. When I think Superman, I just, you get too many flashbacks to Adrian Martinez having to do everything he can to drag Nebraska into games and wearing down late. That became a problem for him and for Nebraska. And the way we think about a good player, but certainly not a perfect player. I think that Nebraska needs a guy with the ability to go Superman in those key moments, but doesn't have to get asked to do that 10 possessions a game, right?

If there are other guys alongside the quarterback who can help keep that guy on schedule to where, you know, it's not saving legs, it's not keeping him fresh, right? You're a college football player, find a way to make plays at the end of games, but to not have to tap into that magic every so often, right? It's just such a risky way to make a living. Where I 100% agree with you is that Nebraska's needed better talent at the quarterback position. thought you had it in Dahl and Riala Sade and flashes wasn't there consistently, right?

T.J. Lateef might blossom into that, right? Nebraska needs better at pretty much every position across the board. I'm with you. It's hard to point out a discernible strength on the team without your tongue firmly planted in your cheek. So, yeah, I agree. Nebraska does, if you're saying that Nebraska needs to be better at quarterback, I can agree.

Nebraska, I think, needs to find a quarterback that, sure, is better for 60 minutes, but is steady for the first 40, 50, 50, 55 minutes, and then in those final five minutes, and you need Superman, you need him to put the ball on time on target, you need him to drop it into a bucket. That's where I think gamer comes into play, right? Tommy wasn't perfect against Oregon

and still the most recent ranked win for Nebraska football. But guess what? Cramping at all, gimpy, hammy at all, he found a way to get to the freaking end zone. I'm still in some level of awe about how he was able to do that, that late in the game. But that's the thing. he wasn't perfect, but he kept Nebraska in the game.

You'd say maybe he kept the opponent in the game as well. But okay, fine, you can make that argument. But I don't want to see Nebraska have to rely on its quarterback for its sole source of offense like it did toward the end of Frost and early in the rural tenure. I just don't think that's sustainable. I don't think it is either. I just don't think they have much of a choice right now. I mean, I think you had to find something that's going to spark it.

And again, what can you do? I mean, can a guy that scrambles around a little bit more and provide that threat, maybe give, you know, a Jacori Barney, you know, all these guys, we presume if they're coming back and Isaiah Hunter, you know, I think you're pretty good. You know, when you talk about a strength on the team, I think you've at least got some guys that you can trust in there. Could that kind of open them up and allow you to kind of rely on those guys a little bit more? Certainly could. So, you know, again, it's not all doomsday scenario Nebraska's, you know, doesn't have anything going forward. But again, it just, you know, as of right now, I think if you would have

you know, brought in or just continued with DJ Lateef. I just don't know how much more, you know, spark or could be expected out of it. So I'm glad they landed on Calandria. I said it from the beginning. I think, I thought they needed to go out there and get a veteran quarterback. Some of the quarterbacks that they were looking on wouldn't have excited me quite as much. Certainly down to the final four that were reported out there, you know, post the Kenny Minci betrayal, like all at that.

I think Calander was the best pick of all, pick of them all. So, you know, I think it's a pretty good. spot to be in and it makes me more confident now eventually might end up being the better quarterback I mean we'll see he's he's still lot he's got better coaching right now yeah he could argue that for sure um but you know at least for what Nebraska needed in in this year I think they I think this is this was about as good as you're going to get with where Nebraska stands in the portal and again he might not be the highest rate guy but you go back to Casey Thompson you might have whatever feelings you have about Casey Thompson the guy got absolutely destroyed

behind that offensive line. And we saw, at times, especially, you know, Trey Palmer helps. But, you know, when he was able to be protected, you could get something a little bit more. And he wasn't mobile, and I'm not completely comparing the two, but just saying that, you know,

Calandra might not be the biggest splash. And it's not going to bolster Nebraska into the top 25, but I think it's what they needed, even more so than Kenny Menchie. So I'm happy where they landed. Yeah, I still would have preferred a multi-year guy. I really would have.

More on T.J. Lateef's timeline. and so we could have had had true competition. I can understand why Minci wouldn't want that, and that seems like that was a factor in him going to Kentucky. And I think Calandra is the better player. But I think Phyllis, even if I think Calandra is the better player, I think philosophically,

and for the direction of the program, I would have preferred a DJ-likeway type with multiple years and potential that it's got to earn it in a battle. So I think Nebraska ended up getting a better player. I'm not sure it's the best direction for them, for anything other than this year. Yeah, well, and that's what it is.

it's a tough side of the times, right? You're basically renting a quarterback there. But again, for the pro, in my mind, and again, I can see that point of view, too. But if you bring in a guy that doesn't elevate, like maybe Menchie's similar to T.J. Lateef, right? You're not getting really much more out of it. Then you're just kind of stuck, right? And then you, my big thing here is. But either way, you're potentially stuck, because either you have a solution for this year, not for next year, or you maybe have a solution for two years.

Well, you're hoping, maybe, you're hoping T.J. Lateef takes this year to be your solution for the years. Hopefully. But my thing is in year four coming off the losses that they had at the end of the season, I know he signed an extension. This is an important year. If he doesn't make a bowl game, I mean, where you're sitting. So that's why I think this year, you need to, I think they have to go all in on this year. And I think that's what they did, although kind of in a backdoor sense here. Well, here's the other other part of this, too. Think about the quarterbacks that that rule brings up a lot. from his previous stops. PJ Walker started him as a freshman

and Charlie Brewer started him as a freshman. If Matt Ruled had Dylan Ryola in year one going into year four, maybe Dylan's a senior. You like where Nebraska's at with that. Or, okay, Nebraska has to pivot. Okay, they get Dylan Ryola. What if Nebraska took its, you know, started for this year in Matt Ruhle's initial class

when he first got there. He got this under the radar guy that he developed. Hey, here's a redshirt junior, entering his fourth year in college in year 400 under Matt Ruhul he's got two years to start. He's probably not got the best pro prospects, but he can be a good college player. Nebraska didn't do that.

No. He didn't go to PJ Walker. You didn't go the Charlie Brewer route. You didn't have your developmental guy on the roster to begin with. It took you two years to get that guy here. And now you're reaping the benefits or lack thereof. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

And then also along that line facing Casey Thompson out of town, all that sort of stuff. So, yeah, the first year handling of the quarterback room is well documented, not the best format rule, but add that into the complaints is not getting somebody kind of long term to develop there. I completely agree.
