It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk all the latest with Nebraska football.

• Did the Huskers’ performance against the Illini raise some concerns that affect how we look at the rest of the season?
• How good is Illinois?
• Decade-long drought in overtime games.
• Is Nebraska’s inconsistent run game a function of offensive scheme, personnel, or both?
• The Michigan loss was a turning point in 2023; could the Illinois loss have a similar effect in 2024?
• The crew discusses how important it is or isn’t to the fan base for the Huskers to be a good rushing team.

Plus, looking ahead to Purdue:

• Players pissed off and fired up in the mid-week press conferences.
• Boilermakers come in at 1-2 after going 4-8 last season.
• What kind of a test will this be for the Huskers?
• Managing the first road game.
• Purdue has run the ball consistently, but has one of the worst run defenses in the nation.
• Evan shares his insights into West Lafayette and Ross Ade Stadium.

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