This week on Con Nation Overreaction, Greg and Hoss discuss this unusual situation in which Nebraska fans find themselves...the fourth quarter is boring and we don’t know that to do.

Let me be clear on this - we echo HC Matt Rhule’s position that a boring fourth quarter is in fact good. The more guys we are able to get into the game in those situations is good. We don’t need to be Notre Dame scoring 66 points against a clearly over-matched opponent. We need our young guys to get experience.

And that’s what happened Saturday night when the Huskers welcomed FCS University of Northern Iowa to Memorial Stadium. On the way to a 34-3 victory, Matt Rhule and Co. clearly were not worried about style points. The defense, while giving up some long drives, managed to keep the Panthers out of the end zone, even in the fourth quarter, a point of pride for the upperclassmen, as by that point it was largely second- and third-string players in. But the outcome was the same.

It’s a short week as the Huskers prepare for their Big Ten opening contest and the 22-ranked Nebraska squad hosts #24 Illinois on Friday night.

Enjoy this breakdown of the UNI game and we’ll see you next weekend.

GBR!
