$13.5M Big Ten HC Back on Hot Seat After Fourth Straight Loss as Troubling Trend Shows Up

Nebraska looked like a team ready to make some noise when it opened the season with five straight wins. The Cornhuskers had finally given their fans a reason to feel good about the direction of the program, and a winning season seemed well within reach. But the past few weeks have told a very different story. The team has struggled to get results against tougher opponents, and Friday’s loss made it four defeats in a row. The 24-13 defeat against Illinois has put head coach Matt Rhule under fresh pressure. Nebraska is now 5-4 overall and 2-4 in Big Ten play, a difficult position for a team that...

Report Card: Illinois Fighting Illini 24, Huskers 13

First up: an admission. I didn’t watch this game live, as I was watching my son’s team in the state quarterfinals. Millard North beat Omaha North 21-0, setting up a rematch next week against Millard South in a game that will feature three Nebraska recruits. And for my money, Millard North’s Tory Pittman III is the best player in the state. I’m not a recruitnik, so I don’t know how this translates to the next level. I just know he makes plays no one else in this state can, at least that I’ve seen thus far.
