00:00 Welcome to the Carriker Chronicles, the people show here checking the pulse of Husker Nation.
00:13 You did awesome Addie!
00:14 She gets so nervous about that.
00:16 Trinity is just a smidge different, but equally awesome.
00:19 Alright, this is my daughter Addison, in case you've been living under a rock, never watched
00:23 this show and didn't know.
00:25 Alright, now you probably didn't even notice the shirt I have on, do you?
00:28 No dad.
00:29 I randomly found this shirt in my closet.
00:32 It's probably been sitting there for 12 years.
00:34 New dad, 2011.
00:36 Your mom got that for me.
00:37 Who do you think was coming?
00:38 Me.
00:39 You were.
00:40 Oh, you used to be so cute.
00:42 And now you're beautiful.
00:43 Thank you.
00:44 You're welcome.
00:45 And it's 100% true, because you look like your mama, thank God.
00:48 Alright, we got a mega show ladies and gentlemen.
00:50 Part 1, part 2.
00:51 Part 2 is going to be right after part 1, as you might have thought.
00:55 Ty Robinson.
00:56 I ask him some great questions.
00:57 Well, he gives great answers to my slightly above average questions.
01:00 Check that out at the end of this show.
01:02 Part 1, we're going to give our predictions and the keys to the game to Nebraska.
01:07 Molly whopping!
01:08 Michigan State.
01:09 Before that, if you predict Nebraska will become bowl eligible this Saturday by beating
01:14 Michigan State, smash the like button.
01:18 Alright Addie, so some people might know who follow me on social media.
01:21 You were in a boot, then you were in a cast and on crutches.
01:25 We were going the wrong way, but then you went back to a boot.
01:27 Now you went to a brace.
01:29 Now you had your first full go basketball practice just a couple of days ago.
01:35 How you feeling Addie?
01:36 How's the ankle?
01:37 It's feeling pretty good.
01:38 I'm just happy I can finally move around.
01:41 And volleyball season starts here in just a few weeks and she's not going to miss any
01:44 of volleyball.
01:45 Are you excited about that?
01:46 Yeah.
01:47 You still keep an eye on Nebraska volleyball?
01:48 Mm-hmm.
01:49 Alright, all my girls were glued to the set when Nebraska volleyball molly whopped Wisconsin.
01:54 I'm just knowing molly whopped all over the place today.
01:57 Alright, I've got to give her a shout out though because she couldn't do much obviously
02:03 on crutches.
02:04 So we literally, 10 to 12 minutes a day would go out and I'd put a chair, we have a basketball
02:08 hoop in our driveway, she'd sit in the chair and she would shoot one handed and then two
02:12 handed on average.
02:14 Honestly, we did about 10 to 12 minutes a day, that's like an hour a week, five days a week
02:18 before she'd go to school.
02:19 She averaged like 500-600 shots a day.
02:21 Now all of a sudden that shot's looking pretty good, so I'm proud of you.
02:24 Alright, Nebraska 5-3.
02:25 Can we talk football?
02:26 Sure.
02:27 The answer is yes.
02:28 Thank you though.
02:29 You're awesome.
02:30 Alright, Nebraska 5-3, going to take on Michigan State 2-6.
02:33 Good old Sparty has now lost six games in a row.
02:36 Alright, the last three meetings between Nebraska and Michigan State have been decided by a
02:40 gigantic total of seven points.
02:43 Nebraska won by one point in 2015, three points in 2018.
02:47 The Spartans, if I can read my own handwriting, won by three points in overtime in East Lansing
02:51 in 2021.
02:52 Now the Blackshirts, as we know, are playing lights out football right now.
02:55 They're allowing an average of just 7.6 points per game the last three games versus Purdue
03:01 Northwestern in Illinois.
03:03 They held Purdue under 100 yards rushing and 100 yards passing.
03:07 That's the first time a Blackshirt defense has done that since they beat Michigan before
03:12 Michigan was stealing signs in 2012.
03:15 Now the all-time series record between Nebraska and Michigan State, they played 12 times,
03:19 nine wins for the good guys and three wins for the other team.
03:22 Alright, Nebraska, three-point favorites, the over-under is 34.5, still seems high to
03:26 me.
03:27 Alright, Michigan State's offense averaging 322 total yards per game, that's 113th in
03:32 the country, ladies and gentlemen, that's not great.
03:35 Their offense struggles to sustain drives.
03:38 And they have a freshman quarterback, he started the last three games, and he's kind of struggled
03:43 in all three of those games.
03:44 He's a young guy, he has talent, he is learning, and the team is kind of going through a rough
03:48 season with everything going on with Mel Tucker.
03:51 Everybody has gone eight straight quarters without scoring a touchdown.
03:54 Alright, Michigan State also has some injury issues as well.
03:57 They do have some size.
03:59 Okay, they can be physical.
04:01 And as much as we, knock on wood, tend to put the ball on the ground, I'm never confident
04:08 in exactly what's going to happen.
04:10 I got four keys this week.
04:12 It changes every week.
04:13 Some weeks it's three keys, five keys, four keys.
04:15 Today it's four keys.
04:16 Before we do that, ladies and gentlemen, make sure you check out DPS Concrete Construction.
04:20 Alright, we are proud that they are our sponsors.
04:22 This show is brought to you by DPS Concrete Construction and your local concrete experts.
04:26 Check them out at dpsconstruction.net.
04:29 That is dpsconstruction.net, ladies and gentlemen.
04:31 Here are the four keys to Nebraska.
04:33 I'm Matt Ayoop in Michigan State.
04:35 Number one, can you read that, Addie?
04:36 Win the turnover battle.
04:38 Alright, it's literally one of the keys every single week.
04:41 Gee, I wonder why.
04:42 Okay, now Sparty.
04:43 Again, eight drives without a touchdown.
04:46 Their last eight drives.
04:47 I think I read quarters.
04:48 It says drives here.
04:49 It says drives here.
04:50 Blackshirts, seven points allowed over the last three games.
04:54 Don't give them a short field.
04:56 Don't give them a free touchdown.
04:57 Win the turnover battle.
04:59 Make them earn it because they're going to have a hard time doing it offensively versus
05:02 our defense.
05:03 Number two.
05:04 Be the better offense in the red zone.
05:05 Alright, now we're not a great red zone offense on our own, right?
05:08 At this point just yet.
05:09 But they struggle to continue drives.
05:11 This right here is huge.
05:14 Who when they get in their opponent's red zone can put the ball in the end zone?
05:18 Alright.
05:19 Uh, stay hot Tristan Alvano.
05:22 Now Tristan's made a 47-yarder, 55-yarder.
05:25 Those are some big booms.
05:26 I want to see him do it on the road as well as at home.
05:28 He's a talented guy who's got a bright, bright, bright all-big-10, maybe even better type
05:32 of future ahead of him.
05:34 Stay hot is my point.
05:36 Now if this turns into a defensive battle, which it has the potential of doing, it may
05:40 come down to a field goal.
05:42 Stay hot, my friend.
05:43 Alright.
05:44 No big plays on defense and at least one big play on offense, defense, or special teams
05:50 touchdown.
05:51 One big player slash touchdown.
05:54 Okay, now I said last week, you know, the Huskers need to find a way to score on defense
05:58 or special teams.
06:00 As we all know, they blocked the field goal, returned it for a touchdown.
06:03 Alright.
06:04 Also, we now all of a sudden have big play potential in our own right on offense.
06:08 Gosh, that's sure nice to have.
06:10 Okay.
06:11 So stay hot on defense, don't give up any big plays, and on offense, or defense, or
06:15 special teams, let's find at least one big explosive way to find a touchdown.
06:19 Okay.
06:20 Now here's my score prediction, ladies and gentlemen.
06:23 I have Nebraska 20, Michigan State 6.
06:27 Alright, Addy, what do you got?
06:29 I've got Nebraska 20, Michigan State 10.
06:32 Slightly higher scoring, but still taking the under as always.
06:34 By the way, I did beat Jacob last week, and this is actually Addison's score prediction.
06:39 Jacob's off with Molly.
06:40 Alright.
06:41 And hanging out with her, his girlfriend.
06:43 Now we're not good enough anymore for him.
06:45 So anyways, Addy did her own prediction, so we'll see who gets it right.
06:48 Alright, so I'm 20 to 6 Nebraska, she's 20 to 10 Nebraska.
06:51 It is tied up between myself and Jacob.
06:53 You're stepping in for your brother, so you better not lose.
06:57 Thanks for joining me, Addy.
06:58 You did awesome.
06:59 Love you.
07:00 Love you too.
07:01 Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not throwing the bones because I'm not going anywhere.
07:05 But Addy's got something to say.
07:07 And always remember, you throw the bones.
07:10 And we're back, ladies and gentlemen, to Mega Show Part 2.
07:14 I am joined by junior defensive lineman.
07:16 This man has played in 43 games in his Husker career.
07:20 He's started 30 of them.
07:21 He's a multi-time black shirt.
07:23 Huskers co-defensive lineman of the year just a season ago.
07:26 Mr. Ty Robinson, how you doing, my friend?
07:29 I'm doing great, how are you?
07:30 I am glorious.
07:32 And Matt Ruhle had some glorious things to say about you recently.
07:35 He said, and I quote, referring to you, and I quote, "He was absolutely dominant in my
07:39 mind by far.
07:40 Ty's best game.
07:41 The type of game that moves you up a couple rounds in the draft.
07:45 I thought he looked excellent."
07:47 And then in another quote he says, "I can't tell that sometimes during the game what's
07:51 happening exactly," Ruhle said, "but when I watched the tape, I think Ty has just hit
07:56 his stride."
07:57 End quote.
07:59 So what do you think has helped you the most on an individual level to help you play so
08:04 well during this football season?
08:06 I think just the confidence that I've instilled just going through the practice and learning
08:12 the new process and new defense.
08:14 Just getting more comfortable and being able to, now that I have the defense in my mind,
08:20 I can kind of more focus on how that defense will work against these different teams that
08:23 we're going against.
08:25 And then most definitely my coaches, Coach T. Knight and even Coach Ruhle.
08:30 They've done a great job at helping me understand where, they're not afraid to tell me where
08:37 I'm lacking in the sense of my playing ability.
08:40 So I think as these weeks have gone on, I've made little jumps and then in the last two
08:45 games I've made a couple of bigger jumps.
08:50 So the defensive line coming into this season, you were really about the only experienced
08:53 D-lineman we had.
08:55 Upmaker had played a little bit but not a lot.
08:57 Then you've got a couple of freshmen who stepped up with Cam Lenhart and other guys as well.
09:02 The D-line arguably is one of the strengths of the team.
09:05 I don't even know if it's even arguable.
09:07 You guys are one of the strengths of the team.
09:09 What do you accredit that to?
09:10 Such a younger, inexperienced, coming into the season defensive line playing so well
09:15 throughout the year.
09:16 I mean I think it just goes to show how well Coach T. Knight coaches us.
09:21 I mean, I wouldn't say he's laid back but he's like, "Listen man, we play D-line.
09:26 We're just supposed to go out there and be aggressive, be the dominant ones and go make
09:30 plays."
09:31 I just think with those younger guys, with them that's all they know and buying into
09:37 that I think it's really helped us as well.
09:39 And then in the beginning we kind of took a personal that a lot of people thought with
09:45 all our D-line leaving that we were going to be a weakness.
09:47 We didn't really have a pass rush.
09:49 We weren't really a threat.
09:50 I mean now we have 26 sacks throughout 8 games and like you said we've become a pretty strong
09:59 point of the team.
10:00 And then it just goes into those guys in the back helping us get some time to be able to
10:04 rush the passer.
10:05 And especially when we're taking on blocks and allowing our linebackers to make plays
10:10 as well I think we all really just work fluidly together.
10:14 Now at Monday's press conference Matt Ruhle said, "We didn't play nearly as well on defense
10:18 as the stats donated."
10:20 Referring to the Purdue game.
10:22 Now in your eyes, because obviously you're doing some things well, but you've got to
10:25 balance that out with what you can improve on.
10:27 So what do you think you guys need to improve on defensively the most going forward in the
10:32 future?
10:33 Yeah, so we definitely played good enough to win.
10:34 I guess if that makes sense.
10:35 We didn't play that standard that we held ourselves each and every day at practice into
10:36 the game.
10:37 And Purdue helped us out a lot.
10:38 We played a lot of good defense.
10:39 We played a lot of good defense.
10:40 We played a lot of good defense.
10:41 We played a lot of good defense.
