REVEALED: Nebraska ISSUES give Utah MAJOR Advantge in Las Vegas Bowl | Morgan Scalley vs Matt Rhule
In this Locked On Utes and Locked On Nebraska crossover, J.T. Wistrcill and Mitch Sherman break down the upcoming Las Vegas Bowl matchup between Utah and Nebraska. The conversation kicks off with each team’s current state—major transitions in coaching staffs, key transfer portal news, and player opt-outs that are set to impact the game. The hosts dive deep into the strengths and weaknesses of each side, with Utah’s dominant run game facing off against a Nebraska defense that’s struggled to stop the ground attack. On the flip side, can Nebraska’s offense move the ball effectively without star running back Emmett Johnson? And will young quarterback TJ Lateef be ready to handle a complex and aggressive Morgan Scally defense? Special teams, coaching distractions, and bowl game motivation are all on the table as J.T. and Mitch give their honest assessments and score predictions for the matchup. If you’re a Utah or Nebraska fan—or just a college football enthusiast—this episode delivers everything you need to know before kickoff in Vegas.
