    Husker Football Last 4 Games

    My head says 1-3 my heart says 2-2. Can’t convince myself of more than that after watching the MN game.

    Matt Rhule Press Conference 10/20

    This will all be a fun memory when we win out.

    Matt Rhule Press Conference 10/20

    Intentional that he was calling them out publicly in that it was strategic on his part to escalate in that way.

    Matt Rhule Press Conference 10/20

    “The buck stops over there.” Maybe it is just me but “I had to tell on my coaches to the press because they didn’t listen to me” is concerning. Leadership when you are a head coach is absolutely preventing your team from playing like that, especially when they are demonstrating that they do...

    Matt Rhule Press Conference 10/20

    I agree that it is intentional. That it got to that point is a failure of leadership.

    Matt Rhule Press Conference 10/20

    I agree. This appears to be his position as well, and to my original point, we’ll see how it plays out. He seems to understand the heat that loss brought and stakes of this season. He didn’t get hired for the “Matt Rhule year 6” magic.

    Matt Rhule Press Conference 10/20

    I agree and also one variable that will influence the difference between 8 wins and 5-6 wins is how the staff and team respond to this loss. The risk of alienating the team by calling people out in a presser is not zero.

    Was thinking of the coordinators though I gather that’s probably the joke you’re making.

    Matt Rhule Press Conference 10/20

    We’ll see how this strategy plays out internally. There could be some bruised egos.

    What is your confidence level in Rhule? (can he get NU to CFP?)

    50/50 Same perspective as the end of last year: Talk is cheap. Saying all the right things and putting the team we just saw Friday out on the field doesn’t match up. Could he be the guy? Maybe. Will he be? I’ll trust my eyes and not my ears.

    Do we make a bowl game

    I think this can be an 8 win team and I think this can be a 6 win team.

    Game Thread Nebraska @ Minnesota (Friday, October 17, 7:00pm - FOX)

    The identity of a team from this state should be that if you beat us you pay the price of being on the receiving end of unbridled physicality. No excuse for a team to be this soft. Totally embarrassing performance.
