Doctor Rob upset many fans after Nebraska's close loss to Ohio State. He gave the Nebraska special teams an F+ despite the Huskers finding a field goal kicker who can make field goals with some distance.

In this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Dr. Rob explains his grade. While the field goals are nice, other aspects of special teams execution leave him with plenty of room for worry.

One thing is for sure: the Huskers looked a lot better against Ohio State. In fact, they looked maybe the best they have looked all year. The defense slowed Ohio State's skill position players. The offense ran the ball against a Buckeye defense that holds teams below 100 yards a game on the ground.

The officiating in the Ohio State game wasn't the best. It should never be an excuse, but a call or non-call here and there can have a major impact on the game. What can be done to fix officiating errors and make calls more accurate? Travis and Dr. Rob discuss some ideas.

UCLA comes to Lincoln on Saturday. The Bruins have had a brutal schedule, losing to three top-10 teams. They are coming off a bye week and, before that, a win at Rutgers. The Bruins aren't a bad team, but they aren't great, either. On paper, UCLA will be the "easiest" game left on the schedule for Nebraska, and a win against the Bruins will make Nebraska bowl-eligible for the first time since 2016. Dr. Rob and Travis break down the next game and take a high-level look at the remaining games on the schedule.
