On this episode of the Five Heart Podcast, the hosts will take a long look at the upcoming Las Vegas Bowl match-up with the Utah Utes.
It was announced on Friday that Utah’s coach Kyle Whittingham was in the works to be the new head coach at the University of Michigan. Would Whittingham coach Utah in the bowl game? After that word was made public, allegedly several Utah players began opting out of the bowl game. They were going to play for the man who was going to step down from coaching. But if he’s being poached to coach at a Big Ten school, maybe their fealty isn’t required.

Also, on Christmas, Nebraska received the commitment Christmas Wishes from Ahmad Hudson, a five-star and the number-one tight end in the country for the Class of 2027. So while there’ still some of the 2025 season yet to play out, we can always look to the future.
In fact, have you noticed that we as Husker fans tend to look at the past (though not as much as we are accused of doing) and to the future, but we don’t always appreciate where we’re at right now? We’re staring at back-to-back bowl games after an eight year drought.
There’s a lot to be thankful for from a fan perspective. We are not where we once were, but we’re definitely not at our lowest point, and we are heading in the right direction.
Like Sawyer Brown sang:
Well I hear something calling me
Like I’ve never heard before.
It’s a red and white freight train
And I want to get on board.
