Clester Johnson Has Some Things to Get Off His Chest About Nebraska Football

Common Fan Podcast/November 4, 2026

After Nebraska's third consecutive heartbreaking loss, Husker legend Clester Johnson had some things he needed to get off his chest.

The national championship-winning wingback reached out to the Common Fans following Nebraska's 17-10 loss to Washington, and the guys got together for a special midweek episode to talk about what's going wrong, who's responsible, and whether Matt Rhule and the Huskers can still turn things around.

Clester brings a unique perspective from his playing days under Tom Osborne, including lessons about accountability, leadership, and the mentality required to win close games. And while the frustration surrounding Nebraska football has reached a boiling point, he's not ready to give up on this team.
