00:00 Welcome to the Caricature Chronicles The People's Show!
00:12 Where we check the pulse of Husker Nation.
00:15 So Addison, my oldest daughter, came on last week and as I mentioned she was a little bit
00:21 nervous, practiced the intro repeatedly.
00:24 How much did you practice the intro?
00:27 One time like five seconds ago.
00:28 Are you nervous?
00:30 Yeah yeah yeah we have two sisters who are slightly different personality wise but equal
00:35 when it comes to being phenomenally phenomenal.
00:37 This is my daughter.
00:38 What is your name?
00:39 My name is Awesomeness.
00:40 That's her nickname.
00:42 What is your name?
00:43 Trinity.
00:44 How old are you?
00:45 I'm ten.
00:46 Did you forget?
00:47 It's all good.
00:48 We're only doing one take.
00:51 Because it's like what time is it right now?
00:52 It's like 6 a.m. right?
00:53 Yeah.
00:54 So I'm headed to Husker Harvest Days.
00:55 If you're going there in Grand Island, come check me out at the Jacobson Seed Tent.
01:01 So we got up early to record this show before school so most of our synapses are firing.
01:05 I'm wide awake as always.
01:06 I took a bunch of pre-workout.
01:07 This is how I roll.
01:08 How are you doing Trinity?
01:09 I'm doing amazing.
01:10 You feel good?
01:11 Oh yeah.
01:12 Is football better than soccer?
01:13 No.
01:14 Oh okay.
01:15 She likes soccer.
01:16 Okay listen to this.
01:17 Why is football better than soccer?
01:18 Football you just get hurt and you just tackle people.
01:22 So amazing people say.
01:24 Well soccer, you actually play and it's way more fun.
01:28 It's 10 year old logic.
01:30 Anyway so you've been coming on this show since you were 2 years old.
01:35 8 years.
01:36 Did you know that?
01:37 No.
01:38 So this is the 9th year of the Carriker Chronicles.
01:39 The first year was all articles.
01:40 The next year I was on Husker Max.
01:41 Then I went to OWH.
01:43 Now we're on our own duh people show.
01:45 Okay.
01:46 But this is her 8th year.
01:47 I saw a picture the other day of when you were 2 years old and you came on this show.
01:52 Can you talk a little bit more?
01:53 You ready to talk some Husker football?
01:56 Yes.
01:57 Alright.
01:58 That's the correct answer.
01:59 So here's the deal ladies and gentlemen.
02:00 This is not a prediction show.
02:02 Because why?
02:03 Because Nebraska should beat Northern Illinois this Saturday.
02:06 So I'm not going to sit here and predict something that should happen.
02:10 I'm not guaranteeing that it will by any stretch.
02:12 I do believe it will.
02:13 I feel pretty confident in that.
02:14 But we'll see what happens.
02:15 Okay.
02:16 So it's not a prediction show.
02:18 So what I'd like to do today is give you 3 things, plus a bonus, to watch for this Saturday
02:24 when it comes to Nebraska playing Northern Illinois.
02:26 How does that sound to you Trinity?
02:28 Sounds good.
02:29 Sounds good.
02:30 Alright real quick before we dive into this, Trinity's going to give us our 3 things.
02:33 Alright.
02:34 But before we dive into that, Matt Ruhl has talked about building this football program
02:41 the right way and how that might take a little bit more time and how it might take some patience.
02:45 Okay?
02:46 So if anybody sees what's happening in Colorado, hey, more power to ya.
02:50 Alright, that's awesome.
02:51 That's phenomenal.
02:52 Long term, I'm more interested in which football program is more stable long term.
02:57 Alright, so if you're on board with building this program the right way, not that anybody
03:02 else anywhere else is doing it the wrong way, but we don't want it to be a flash in the
03:05 pan.
03:06 And if you're on board with Matt Ruhl doing his thing that he's done other places and
03:09 just doing it here and hopefully we get the same results, hit that like button.
03:13 Alright Trinity, here's the 3 things to watch for this Saturday.
03:16 Can you give me the first one?
03:17 QB position.
03:18 I'm going to shock ya.
03:19 What's going on with the quarterback position?
03:21 I mean why in the world would this be on the list, let alone #1?
03:23 Who'd have thunk, right?
03:24 Alright, so at the time we're recording this, again, this is early in the morning.
03:28 At the time that we're recording this, there's no official update on Jeff Simms' injury
03:32 just yet.
03:33 So is he healthy?
03:35 Does he start?
03:36 If he starts, how does he play?
03:40 Is there any rotation at all if things don't go well?
03:42 If things do go well, probably not a whole lot of question marks here if Simms is healthy.
03:47 But what if Heinrich Harburg starts?
03:49 What if Simms is banged up?
03:50 What if Heinrich plays well?
03:52 What if he doesn't?
03:53 Then Chepa Perdy comes in.
03:54 There's so many question marks beyond just who starts the game, which is why it's #1
03:58 on my list.
03:59 So the first thing is Jeff Simms' health, because Matt Ruhl has said he's our quarterback
04:04 if he's healthy.
04:05 Alright, if he's healthy, he's obviously going to start.
04:08 If he's not, who starts?
04:09 If he is healthy, how does he play?
04:10 What happens after that?
04:11 I'm not trying to create quarterback controversy.
04:14 There's just, it is what it is.
04:16 It's an intriguing storyline.
04:17 If we hang on to the ball, this becomes a lot less interesting.
04:21 So hopefully that happens going forward, which leads to #2.
04:23 What's #2, Trinity?
04:24 Turnovers.
04:25 Alright.
04:26 At first I wrote zero turnovers for Nebraska.
04:31 That's the goal.
04:33 People do make mistakes.
04:34 Have I made a mistake every now and again?
04:38 Yeah.
04:39 You were way too confident in that answer.
04:42 Everybody makes mistakes.
04:43 So here's what I changed it to.
04:45 I want to see if Nebraska wins the turnover battle versus a team they should not only
04:49 win the turnover battle against, but they should dominate the turnover battle against.
04:52 So win the turnover battle.
04:54 Don't lose.
04:55 Don't tie the turnover battle.
04:58 Win the turnover battle decisively.
05:01 Alright, now real quick, as always, this show is brought to you by DPS Concrete Construction.
05:08 They are your local concrete experts.
05:10 You can check them out at DPSConstruction.net.
05:14 Now if you're a diesel mechanic, CDL driver, concrete finisher, looking for work in the
05:21 Omaha metro area, DPS Construction is the employer for you.
05:26 If you're looking for a great place to work, a great boss in Jason Armstrong, and you do
05:30 quality work yourself, don't show up if you're not good at your job.
05:34 If you're good, apply.
05:36 DPS Construction and DPS Construction.net is the place and the employer for you.
05:41 Alright, Trinity, what's number three?
05:44 Maybe the most important of all.
05:45 "Win the game!"
05:46 Can you say that in English, please?
05:47 "Win the game."
05:48 She has no personality at all.
05:51 Alright, win the game.
05:52 I mean, here's the deal.
05:55 Nebraska's favored by 10.5.
05:56 You know, it should be nice if this wasn't close.
06:00 I really don't care.
06:01 Let's just win the game.
06:02 Let's start with that.
06:03 That's why this isn't a prediction.
06:05 If you're a wrestling fan, it's not a spoiler.
06:07 Well, it should be a spoiler, because Nebraska should win if you know what a spoiler is.
06:11 Given Nebraska's favored by 10.5, the over-under is 42.5, and I'm just going to say this, always
06:15 take the under this year with Nebraska, unless the under is like 10 points.
06:20 It just is what it is.
06:21 Not even a joke.
06:22 Alright, now here's the thing about Northern Illinois.
06:24 This is a team that week one beat Boston College.
06:26 We're talking about a Power 5 program.
06:28 And I was like, "Oh boy!"
06:30 They beat them 27-24 in overtime.
06:33 Then last week they lost to Southern Illinois University, no disrespect, but I had to look
06:37 them up.
06:38 And they lost to them 11-14.
06:41 So then I looked at Boston College.
06:42 How good is Boston College?
06:43 Boston College played Holy Cross and beat them by a field goal, 31-28.
06:48 So Boston College is going to find out how good they are this week, because they're going
06:51 to play #3 Florida State.
06:52 So good luck with that.
06:54 Here's my point.
06:56 We better win the game.
06:59 This is a game we should win.
07:00 I don't care about the spread.
07:01 I don't care about the over/under.
07:03 Win the game.
07:05 Alright Trinity, do you predict Nebraska?
07:08 This is not a prediction video for me.
07:10 Trinity, you can give a prediction.
07:11 Who's going to win?
07:12 Nebraska or Northern Illinois?
07:13 Nebraska all the way.
07:14 Alright, I like it.
07:15 So here's my bonus.
07:16 Alright, I got a bonus for you.
07:19 Just something to keep an eye on.
07:21 It's intriguing to me personally, because I used to be, what does that say?
07:25 Blackshirts.
07:26 I'm surprised you can read my writing.
07:27 I can barely read that.
07:28 The Blackshirts are giving up an average of 1.9 yards per carry.
07:33 That's pretty good.
07:34 Can they sustain that going forward?
07:36 Or anything reasonably close to that?
07:39 They're also #1 in the nation in sacks.
07:40 They have 11 sacks through 2 games.
07:42 They're tied for first.
07:44 Can they maintain being in the top 5, top 10, or #1?
07:48 These are things that are personally intriguing to me.
07:51 Now I got 3 questions for you fine folks at home.
07:53 Hit me up in the comments below.
07:54 YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.
07:56 Alright Trinity, what's the first question?
07:58 Your score prediction.
07:59 We need to know that.
08:00 Yeah, what is your score prediction?
08:02 I just want to see Nebraska win, but I want to know your score prediction.
08:05 Let me know.
08:06 Nebraska, Norwood, Illinois, what will the final score be?
08:08 Number 2.
08:09 Will Nebraska win?
08:10 Win turnover?
08:11 Battle.
08:12 Don't blame her.
08:13 It's bad handwriting.
08:14 Will Nebraska win the turnover battle?
08:17 To me, that and the next thing I'm going to mention are by far the 2 most intriguing
08:20 storylines in this game.
08:21 Outside of does Nebraska win the game.
08:23 Alright, will Nebraska win the turnover battle?
08:25 Answer in the comments below.
08:27 Number 3.
08:28 Are the Blackshirts for real?
08:30 Yeah, are the Blackshirts for real?
08:32 They have played well enough to win both games so far.
08:36 They're by far our best overall unit.
08:38 Now I try to be objective in this.
08:41 Minnesota, not a great offense.
08:44 How good is Nebraska?
08:45 Well then you look at Colorado.
08:46 They played more than well enough to win that game in Colorado for the first 2 to 3 quarters.
08:51 Now if you listen to national pundits, oh my god, Colorado just ran us off the field
08:55 in the second half and they just played horrible in the first half.
08:58 Colorado had nothing to do with Nebraska shutting them down or anything like that.
09:02 So are the Blackshirts for real?
09:04 What do you think?
09:05 I'll give you my answer to that.
09:06 I think yes.
09:08 I think the one area they can improve on overall is their pass defense just in general.
09:13 They're great at getting after the quarterback.
09:14 Great at stopping the run.
09:15 I mean, they've been great at that so far.
09:17 We play two teams who are combined 4-0.
09:20 Colorado's 2-0.
09:21 Minnesota's 2-0.
09:22 So it's not like we've had the typical cupcakes in the non-conference schedules so far.
09:27 One of them was a conference game.
09:29 So do you believe the Blackshirts are for real?
09:31 Do you think the Blackshirts are for real?
09:33 Oh yeah.
09:34 I agree.
09:35 All right.

09:52 Get to the bench!
09:52 What's up?
