HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - Here are the four stories you need to know for November 9, 2026.

Husker offense hits hard times

Head coach Matt Rhule is making changes to the Husker football staff for the rest of the season. Nebraska announced it fired offensive coordinator Dana Holgersen after Friday night’s 24-13 loss at Illinois. Quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas takes over playcalling.

The Husker offense has averaged 13.5 points per game during a four-game skid. Holgersen joined the staff halfway through the 2024 season and completed his first full season as offensive coordinator last year.

Drunk driver hits trooper cruiser

A Nebraska State Patrol trooper had a close call Friday night when a drunk driver hit their cruiser in Omaha. The crash happened just after midnight at the Highway 75 ramp from I-480, according to NSP. The trooper was not inside the cruiser.

Omaha police arrested the other driver for DUI, driving while revoked and carrying a concealed weapon while intoxicated. NSP shared photos Saturday showing heavy damage to the rear of the cruiser and urged drivers to stop drunk and distracted driving.

Trump: new Iran strikes unlikely

President Donald Trump told reporters Sunday evening before leaving Palm Beach, Florida, that new strikes in Iran are “highly unlikely.” He was asked about Iran and Vice President JD Vance’s post-election comments. Vance posted shortly after Republicans lost control of the House and Senate that the war in Iran was to blame. Trump said he agrees with Vance for the most part but would do it again.

The House could vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as soon as this week. Gas prices are starting to drop. Compared with Friday, Hall County is down 13 cents to $4.21, Adams County is down eight cents to $4.29, Buffalo County is down one cent to $4.27 and Lincoln County is down 17 cents to $4.20.
