Dirk Chatelain On What's Holding Nebraska Football Back, The Ceiling, And More | I-80 Plus One

Old friend Dirk Chatelain joins Jack Mitchell and Josh Peterson to discuss Husker football following another disappointing season:

  • What is holding the program back?
  • Do people care too much or is that a convenient excuse?
  • Is there a way out?

And so much more.

Plus, Scott Frost to UCF, Bill Belichick to UNC, and Husker hoops!
