Nebraska vs Washington RECAP: Offense Collapses, Defense Shines

Big Red Junkies/November 1, 2026

Nebraska Football dropped a heartbreaker to Washington in the blackout game, and the Big Red Junkies are not holding back in this reaction and recap.

BJ, Jed and Matt break down the atmosphere at Memorial Stadium, the three interceptions that killed the night, and Matt Rhule calling his own defensive play on a crucial fourth-and-long that didn't work. They get into Dana Holgorsen's baffling halftime shift away from the run game even with Emmett Johnson rolling, Rob Orch's defense holding Washington to 32 rushing yards, and whether Anthony Calandria and Luke Lindenmeyer handled the postgame the right way. They also talk Justin Evans saying the team had to 'keep our coach up,' Caleb Benning's strong PFF grade, and close out the show with this week's prediction leaderboard and PFF bets.
