56-7

I could end the description right there, but Jon says that “150 words or it doesn’t get picked up by search engines.” So be prepared for word salad to last another 119 words.

Epic, systemic failure. Both teams had a bye week heading into this game. Only one team seemed prepared for the contest. The lack of preparation can not be understated. In his post-game press conference, Matt Rhule said “I didn’t see this coming. I thought we were going to play great.”

This is, in my opinion, the first crack in the armor of Matt Rhule, who said “it was bad football by us.” He was embarrassed, not in the players, but in the level of football. 

This will be a turning point for the program under Rhule. We will look back at October 19, 2024 and look at is as a galvanizing moment where the ship was righted and real change started to take place. OR the loss to Indiana on their homecoming will be the beginning of the end for this staff. 

I hope it’s the former. I think it will be. Regardless, Rhule will be given another year and a half to get things right in Lincoln. 

Jake is already calling this a spicy show, “guaranteed.”

Hoss is getting more upset as time goes by and says it’s going to be an all-timer, a la Minnesota 2017.
