Another big part of the conversation focuses on quarterback Anthony Colandrea<\/a>. Pollack breaks down what he has seen from Colandrea so far, how good he can become and why his ability to make plays with his legs adds another element to Dana Holgorsen\u2019s offense and an already loaded backfield. Carriker also explains the difference between being a \u201cgunslinger\u201d and being a really good quarterback, with turnovers playing a major role.<\/p>\n Carriker and Pollack also dive into Nebraska\u2019s running backs, wide receiver room and offensive line. Has the offensive line actually taken a big step forward? Can Nebraska create running lanes and hold its own once Big Ten play begins? Pollack explains why developing big people up front is so important and why we will learn a lot more about this Nebraska team once conference play arrives.<\/p>\n Carriker then turns the conversation to the dark side of the ball\u2026the defense. The discussion shifts to Rob Aurich\u2019s unit<\/a>, Nebraska\u2019s improved pass rush and the search for a true difference-maker off the edge. Pollack talks about why sack numbers can sometimes be misleading, how coverage and tackling work together with the pass rush and what Nebraska still needs to show against better offenses.<\/p>\n The two also discuss head coach Matt Rhule\u2019s ability to develop players, finding \u201cdiamonds in the rough\u201d and why coaching can make such a big difference over the course of a season.<\/p>\n Finally, Pollack looks ahead at Nebraska\u2019s remaining schedule, the importance of handling adversity and what it will take for the Huskers to compete with teams like Indiana. He also shares his changing opinion on Oregon, sort of gives his score prediction and delivers one of the funniest lines of the interview: if you don\u2019t want to say a team sucks, just say they\u2019re \u201cungood.\u201d<\/p>\n Program sequence00:00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Intro01:00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0David Pollack Joins the Show01:50\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What Do We Really Know About Nebraska After 2 Games?03:43\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Nebraska\u2019s National Perception & AP Votes05:28\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How Good Can Anthony Colandrea Be?07:03\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What Nebraska Needs to Beat Indiana07:35\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Good QB vs. Gunslinger – The Turnover Difference07:47\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jamal Rule: Finding Diamonds in the Rough09:54\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Nebraska\u2019s Wide Receiver Room11:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Is Nebraska\u2019s Offensive Line Really Better?13:11\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What We Still Need to See From the Defensive Line13:58\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why Coaching & Development Matter22:04\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Nebraska\u2019s Improved Pass Rush & Sack Numbers23:44\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Who Can Become Nebraska\u2019s Edge Playmaker?25:09\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Nebraska’s Schedule & Handling Adversity26:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pollack Changes His Mind on Oregon27:10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThey\u2019re Ungood\u201d28:10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Score Prediction: \u201cPAIN\u201d30:27\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Questions<\/p>\n Stay up to date on all things Huskers by bookmarking Nebraska Cornhuskers On SI<\/a>, subscribing to HuskerMax on YouTube<\/a> and visiting HuskerMax.com<\/a> daily.<\/p>\n
