Another one-possession loss! But reason for optimism! USC defeats Nebraska 28-20.

“Players need to make plays!” says Matt Rhule.

SMQ couldn’t agree more. The plays were available to the team but they left them on the field.

Especially the secondary. However, the offense looked better. So there is reason for optimism in what Matt Rhule called “the most important coaching week of my career!” Wisconsin rolls into town at 5-5 just like Nebraska.

What an opportunity to send the Huskers to a bowl game for the first time in eight years! Players it is time to make some plays!

Matt Rhule makes a bold decision that will save the season.

Coach Tim Miles stops by SMQ to talk Bob and Jay off the ledge after the UCLA debacle.

Coach Miles advises Nebraska to stay the course on their turnaround. "Stick to your process" and "Stick with the team."

Matt Rhule is in familiar territory. 2024 could be just like 2023. Or will they rise above the fray and use the bye week to turn things around in the final three games?

Coach Miles, a 400+ win coach gives sage advice to an ailing Husker nation. USC, Wisconsin, and Iowa with a combined losing conference record of 9-11 certainly give Nebraska the opportunity to become bowl-eligible and finish on a positive note.
