Schedule detail
I didn't think Nebraska would dramatically be better at all. But I did not expect the linebackers and secondary to be completely lost with coverage responsibilities.
I expected it to be a 34 -28 type win for Utah.
Exactly, you fire a coach that can’t beat top 5 teams to hire a coach that can’t beat top 25 teams. Makes sense, only we would extend that guy 😞
Hope is dug and post is set. Not much else to do till it’s fully set
My assessment of Matt Rhule through year 3 at Nebraska

who all opted out today for NU?
He's safe for 2026 but I'd bet my Utah winnings from today that he's not the coach in 2027.
My expectations for 2025 were to (1) improve YoY (2) not have embarrassing losses (3) punch above our weight for once for a win.
Did we improve? On special teams we did. On Offense we were inept once again in B10 play. Defensively it was a big step back.
Did we avoid embarrassing losses? No- Minnesota, Penn State, Cockeye, and Utah.
Did we punch above our weight? No - we are incapable of stepping up in big games. IDGAF about "close" losses. A loss is a loss. Scott Frost was capable of losing close.
Rhule is a nice guy and has great communication skills but he's in over his head here. There is no foundation he's built in three years. It's another offseason of hitting up the transfer portal for one year mercenaries. This is not how you build a program.
This thing is cooked.
They’ve been the common denominator through all the losing. Unfortunately Nebraska is incestuous and will keep bringing in their friends or locals vs pros who can get anything done at a high level.
We’re not
He made coaching decisions we only wish we had with Riley and Frost.
It’s a different game and our coach adjusts.
We’ll be fine.

Money and playing time aside from what you mentioned. Coaching not great everything else mostly first class except recruiting location.
That’s the problem. Why should he be safe for next year? That was embarrassing. He got out coached again but this time by a guy who coached his fist game as HC.
Pelini was given 7 years
EJ, DeShon, and Dasan McCullough. Although, I think Dasan is kidding himself. He has no nfl future.
This is exactly where I’m at. We were matched up against a 10-2 team ranked 15th. You can argue all you want about them being a Big 12 team but they are a good team. We aren’t.
I think the only reason we got the bowl we did is because our fans travel well. There are other matchups we could have done better.
At the end of the day, we need a big overhaul in the portal. My fear is we can throw money at everyone. But the elite players want to play for elite teams.
Dirk couldn’t coach his way out of the locker room. He is right, but I am not a fan.
Somebody said a WR opted out. Did Hunter play?
