Big Ten Network Breaks Down Nebraska Football at Indiana
Nebraska football is just days away from another shot at getting that first win over a ranked opponent since the Mike Riley era.
The Huskers have lost 25 straight games to Top 25 teams since 2016. That’s the second-longest active streak among power conference teams, only trailing the 40 straight by Rutgers.
On Wednesday, the Big Ten Network’s “B1G Today” looked at Nebraska’s Saturday game at No. 16 Indiana. Dave Revsine and Ashley Adamson discussed the game as part of the show’s “B1G Story”.
“This IU story has captured everyone’s imagination,” Revsine began. “It’s pretty amazing to think that they are unbeaten at this point.”
The Hoosiers are undefeated through six games for the first time since 1967. The Huskers, however, are an overtime away from also being unblemished.
“The thing I’m most focused on is that Indiana offense, which has been absolutely fabulous, against a Nebraska defense, which has been airtight for most of this year,” Revsine said.
Indiana is top 10 in the nation in total offense, passing offense, third down conversation percentage, and scoring. Nebraska is top in the nation in rushing defense, sacks, and red zone defense.
“It’s strength on strength,” Adamson said. “This is the game that may teach us potentially the most in week eight.”
Adamson said Indiana is now dealing with raised expectations, from just getting to a bowl game in Curt Cignetti’s first season so already being bowl eligible at the midway point of the season.
“When you win games, the games get bigger. That’s exactly what has happened in Bloomington. They have passed every test since Curt Cignetti has taken over, but obviously, Dave, as you look at the schedule and it starts Saturday with Nebraska, those tests are about to get harder,” Adamson said.
Heading into week eight, none of the teams to have faced Indiana currently hold a winning record—16-20 overall. Of the final six games, four currently have winning records—22-15 overall, including 5-1 Nebraska.
“The question for me is what does Nebraska look like,” Adamson said. “Dylan Raiola, we’ve seen him show up in big moments but what does he look like on the road in a big time environment on Saturday.”
Raiola is 1-0 at the collegiate level in road games, having led the 28-10 win at Purdue at the end of September.
Revsine pointed out Nebraska’s need to clean up the special teams. NU is last in the country in allowing both punts and kicks to be blocked.
“That’s a very significant warning sign that you’ve got a little bit of work to do there in special teams,” Revsine said.
As for the offense, Revsine wondered how good Nebraska is.
“Are they great? Is this a great run game? I don’t think it’s a great run game,” Revsine said. “I think what has stood out to me is the decision making from Dylan Raiola has been pretty good.”
Revsine and Adamson echoed each other in that this is the toughest game of the season so far for either team.
“How good are these teams, truly,” Revsine said. “I think they’re good. I think they’re improved. Nebraska fans would be so delighted to get a win this week and just get the bowl thing out of the way and then see where this can get them.”
For anyone living under a rock, Nebraska has the longest bowl drought in power conference football, going back to the 2016 season.
“You’d end the bowl drought. You get all those monkeys off your back and then you could say, ‘Hey where’s this season going to take us?’ Because I think there’s still a chance for it to take them to a really good place.”
You can watch the full segment at the top. Nebraska and Indiana kickoff Saturday at 11 a.m. CDT. The game will be televised on FOX, with the Big Noon Kickoff crew on site.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) — After a hamstring injury during Nebraska’s baseball season, Will Jesske was advised to take it easy this summer. He is, but Jesske has found a new way to stay involved in the game.
Jesske is coaching a local legion baseball team. He is a volunteer assistant for Lincoln Hotel Group, the senior legion team for Standing Bear High School.
Jesske, a Lincoln Southeast graduate, describes himself as the “hype man” in the LHG dugout. He brings energy and enthusiasm, which players enjoy. Jesske said coaching is a way he can give back to local players while helping LHG’s coaching staff. Jesske played under Tanner Lewis and Kyle Beacom in high school. They now lead the LHG legion program.
Jesske is entering his senior season at Nebraska. He has appeared in 95 games over his career, including 33 during the Huskers’ 43-win season this spring. Jesske was injured early in the season but played through it as Nebraska hosted an NCAA regional. He hit .318 in his junior season. Jesske said he is fully healthy and credited extended rest with his recovery.

Former Nebraska wrestler AJ Ferrari wanted in Lincoln, accused of assaulting pregnant woman
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Former Nebraska wrestler AJ Ferrari is wanted in Lancaster County on suspicion of assaulting a pregnant woman in May.
An arrest warrant was filed for Ferrari on Thursday. He faces three felony charges which include first-degree false imprisonment and assault by strangling a pregnant woman.
According to an arrest affidavit, a woman from California contacted police in Lincoln on May 8 just after midnight. She told officers her daughter called for help and pointed them to Ferrari’s apartment.
Police arrived at the apartment and knocked on the door. A pregnant woman came out after several minutes of knocking with no answer. Officers said the woman was visibly upset.
She told officers that Ferrari tried taking her phone away after an argument, but she wouldn’t let him take it. The arrest affidavit shows Ferrari then dragged her off a bed by her feet.
Police think Ferrari then got on top of her and strangled her, likely until she was unconscious. The woman told police that she felt as though her throat “collapsed” and that she was “breathing through a straw.”
Once regaining consciousness, police said the woman tried hiding in a closet and contacting her mother on another device. But Ferrari followed her, pushed her onto a bed and sat on her until she apologized, according to the affidavit.
She apologized in order to be released, police said. The woman then tried to leave the apartment, but police said Ferrari dragged her by the arm back inside. She found her phone and contacted her mother, yelling “help!”, prosecutors wrote.
Ferrari grabbed the phone and hung up, according to the affidavit. The woman’s mother tried calling several more times before calling police.
Authorities transported the woman to Bryan West for treatment. Officers said she sustained injuries consistent with strangulation, including bruising around her neck and other abrasions.
Last weekend, Ferrari was arrested in Lincoln County on suspicion of flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving and obstructing the police. He was cited after a trooper chased a Corvette in the North Platte area.
Lincoln County authorities told KOLN that Ferrari is out on bond. His current whereabouts are unclear.
Court records show that the woman has filed for a protection order against Ferrari. A hearing has been set for July 7 to give him an opportunity to show the court why one should not be issued.
Previously, Ferrari was booked in Lancaster County, Nebraska for an outstanding warrant in January of this year, but those charges were dismissed later that week.
Ferrari parted ways with the Huskers in April of this year.
