DawgmanRadio: Behind Enemy Lines with Husker247's Brian Christopherson

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Husker247's Brian Christopherson, who was kind enough to join in and talk about Washington's opponent this weekend, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

With a sold out 'Blackout' Saturday night crowd expected for Halloween night, Memorial Stadium could turn into a serious House of Horrors for the visitors.

Kim and Brian set the scene and talk about what visiting Washington fans should expect, including the weather forecast and the history behind the 'Blackout' games. Next, they go into Nebraska's offense and what makes them tick, starting with their overall experience, their offensive line, quarterback Anthony Colandrea, WR Kwazi Gilmer, and their run game.

Switching to the other side of the ball, Brian talks about the dilemma faced by Nebraska DC Rob Aurich in terms of preparing for either Elijah Brown or Demond Williams. What makes Nebraska's defense so effective, especially in terms of the statistics? And who are the defensive players UW fans need to know about?

And down 2 with a 42-yard field goal to win, how confident is Brian in Nebraska's placekicker?

Kim winds down the Nebraska preview by asking Brian for his thoughts on current AD Troy Dannen and his perception among Cornhusker fans, as well as whether or not Nebraska Head Coach Matt Rhule has brought stability back to Cornhusker Football. Have the last couple of really close losses to Indiana and Oregon brought back some PTSD within a faction of the fanbase?

And finally, what's to do in Lincoln? And for those UW fans flying into Omaha, is it worth checking Omaha out too?
