It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the hugely disappointing loss to UCLA and where Nebraska goes from here.

• Assessing Coach Rhule’s comment that he’s bringing in outsiders to evaluate the offense, defense, and special teams.
• Should a staff of over 70 coaches and analysts need to bring in extra eyes? Is this a sign of concern or confidence?
• Rhule also put the onus on players to some extent, saying players need to make plays and to take accountability when they don’t.
• Is he blaming the players or sending a message they need to hear?
• So frustrating for Nebraska fans seemingly having to live through the same thing over and over and over again.

The crew also discusses the lingering concern about apathy in the fan base:

• It may be impossible for Husker fans to ever reach the point of apathy, but it would be hard to blame fans for however they react to the current situation.
• Discussing former Husker Collin Miller’s Twitter thread calling out the crowd for a lack of energy.
• The Common Fans take issue with the idea that the fans are in any way the problem.
• Husker fans will continue to show up, and we’re strapping in for these last three games.
• Bowl game or bust!

All this and much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.

The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s garbage performance against UCLA:

• When it comes to Nebraska football, you cannot trust anyone.
• Matt Rhule said the team played with a championship mindset against Ohio State; Nebraska showed the opposite of that against UCLA.
• Everyone is to blame: the Head Coach, the offense, defense, and special teams.
• The team came out flat, didn’t seem to have any answers against the Bruins.
• The Huskers appear to have gotten progressively worse since the win over Colorado.
• It continues to be so frustrating to see these performances when the fan base is so dedicated and is asked for more and more.

On the bright side, the Common Fans talk about their first ever tailgate:

• Special thanks to Certified Piedmontese, Chick-fil-A, and White Elm Brewing Company for supporting the tailgate and the Common Fan Podcast.
• Several friends of the program showed up. We love you all.

The boys also explore some questions heading into the bye week:

• Why doesn’t Heinrich Haarberg get more of a chance? Not as the starter, but to lead entire drives. It would help the offense and help Raiola.
• Will there be coaching changes after the season?
• How in any way is any of this acceptable?
• At this point, will Nebraska make a bowl game?

This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.

It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the tough loss to Ohio State and look ahead to UCLA.

• Husker fans have seen variations of the Ohio State game so many times over the years–close but not enough.
• Even so, Ohio State was a culture game. Coming off the loss to Indiana, Nebraska needed to show some guts and they did.
• Ohio State game showed Nebraska has a formula to win…if they can replicate that performance.
• Tough loss, but possibly the happiest the Common Fans have been after a Nebraska loss ever.
• Evaluating the multiple bad calls in the game: is officiating worse than it’s ever been?

Plus, looking ahead to UCLA:

• Worst rushing offense in the entire country.
• Quarterback Ethan Garbers has been a bright spot and looks to be healthy.
• A team with nothing to lose.
• Which Nebraska team will show up?
• If Ohio State really was a turning point, Nebraska should handle UCLA.
• There are no excuses at this point. Nebraska will be favored at home with bowl eligibility on the line. Win the game.
• Nebraska can win every game left on its schedule. How many will they win?
