I wish someone from the press would have asked Rhule about that nearly distastorous final series on offense and what the hell was going through the OCs head calling 3 consectitive pass plays, all of which were almost intercepted, instead of calling 3 running plays to close out the 1st half?
Interesting to read all of the comments below especially the "I'm not excited", "our offense is bad", I won't be satisfied until blah blah blah. Reality, Rhule took over a mess. Undisciplined, poor technique, unmotivated, poorly coached group of players. Was the game perfect - heck no, but they won and are learning how to be tough and win. If you can see the progress, go support NW. The product on the field is significantly better than what has been out there the last 8 years.
as a long time nebraska fan im not all that excited over a win vs ill....so rhule needs to get back to work and fix our trash offense and stop making jokes up there
Sounds like you're expecting this team to look like Tommie Frazier. The upside is that this win over Illinois is exactly the kind of game Nebraska has spent the last seven years losing. Under Frost and Riley we found ways to choke these kind of games away every single time.
Did you prefer the last few seasons when they lost to Ill???? Would you feel better if Rhule was standing there crying? I hated the 2nd half offense. but we are 3-3 and maybe starting to beat the teams we should beat, unlike recent seasons, and that's the first step. I'm just happy to have a W.
They had a 3 game losing streak to Illinois. Incremental progress is the key to this program right now. Can't afford to take one step forward and three steps back.
@@6minutespotlightwrestling no doubt facts that shows you how far we have fallen losing 3 in a row to this crap team....but by beating them yesterday dont mean we back....its still ill lol....i will say same about NW next too.....until we beat teams like mary,wisky,mich st.,and iowa than we can say we improved enough to be excited about....especially since we have a HS offense lol
Yes the offense needs help a better running attack where everybody blocks for the runner! I don’t think we saw the fullback in this game to help block! This is why your the coaches an we are side line critics so you can screw up and we can criticise all your mistakes!
Need better offensive line and maybe even a better o line Coach! The coaches brother is a Nebraska legend from our pipeline and I don't see the aggression and nastiness from that group. Some of those guys have played a lot of snaps on the o-line and I still don't see any improvement , Corcoran Bienhart still do look strong and physical. Shouldn't be afraid to play others if they can't get the job done! Husker 4 life 💯
If we cant see that Rhule is the man then we are blind. Nebraska is on a great path.
Great job getting the win Coach!
It wasn’t always pretty but it’s not nothing to play messy at times and still win
I think once Jeff sims comes together as a player and understands the urgency.. this team will move a lot more smoothly and able to compete again

At least our coach credits the opposing team. Something that Bielema seems he couldn't.
Haarberg sometimes gets tired? He is more than 50% of the offense. He should be very tired! Happy for the win. Season starts (again) in 2 weeks!

Well we didn’t beat Bama we beat an Illinois team that isn’t very good. Again we won and that’s a start
