I know I'm in my feelings right now but I just feel like I need to say this: Rhule disgusted me with his clock management on the last regulation drive by playing not to lose instead of calling his timeouts and getting more shots at a td. I don't think there are many coaches in America who wouldn't call their 1st of 3 timeouts with 40 seconds left in the 4th, but Rhule was so scared of the possibility of trusting our defense and giving the ball back to a mediocre Wisconsin that he wasted 20 seconds and we didn't get any real opportunity at going for a td as a result.

18/28 160 1 TD is making DB's look silly?

Rhule's decision at the end of regulations was mind-boggling stupid and he deserves serious criticism. Let me paint an illustration to make it simple. Imagine we go into overtime next week and I.owa starts out with the ball. They go 3 and out and make a field goal. We get the ball. We rush the ball for 7 yards on first down. Rhule feels like we are in comfortable field goal range now and doesn't want to turn it over so we "play for the tie," center the ball on second down and just kick the field goal on 3rd down. That's is basically what we did tonight by intentionally running clock and not trying to win.

Thought about this. He went for the TD last week. Everyone fucking hated that. Over corrected and went too conservative this week.

I'm really not sure how Cockeye is gonna beat us when they won't be getting Mordecai's playmaking abilities. Deacon Hill is a fat fuck.

Mordecai looked like fuckin Joe Montana tonight and we still probably win that game if Alvano hits his 42 yd FG.

I'm not a kool-aid drinker by any means, I just genuinely do not know how Cockeye is going to beat this defense without a QB as good as Tagovailoa or Mordecai. Even with those QBs we still should have won both those games.

I think Cockeye's only chance is if they draw up a bunch of trick plays. Which I FULLY expect them to do. No reason for Brian Ferentz to hold anything back.

So Nebraska could lose to a bunch of flea flickers and reverses etc. But if Cockeye plays it straight up like they did vs MN and NW and Illinois, I'm not sure how they score enough to win.

Offense did its job. 3 scores and no turnovers.

Defense gave up countless 3rd downs to Mord's legs and had a chance in OT to shut em down with 0 and didn't.

If your you want to look for reasons why we lost. Start with our 3rd down defensive play. 17 point or not, we weren’t good of that side of the ball in key situational downs.

I’m more disappointed that we didn’t stop the 4th and long 1 in OT. We stuff them there and the game is most likely ours.

How so? The defense played well enough to win.

People comparing these situations are showing who the true taters are. A field goal gives you the LEAD last week with a defense that was playing lights out. The field goal last night only ties it up. 9/10 coaches take the field goal last week, while 9/10 coaches go for the win last night. Rhule did the exact opposite on both occasions. It’s mind boggling Frost level shit.

It’s not even playing for OT that was the worst part, its the way we did it. We had it 1st & 10 from the Wiscy 26 with 1:30 left and 3 timeouts and ran 4 plays. FOUR!!!! What in the absolute fuck. You marched the ball down on them and then just give up when you get inside the 30? In what world was that an acceptable decision?

Thats up there for worst coaching of the year and really makes me wonder if Rhule is an absolute dumbfuck or what. 10/10 coaches use their timeouts and try for the touchdown in that situations. Its just mind boggling.
