The rest of the season

We have now suffered multiple years in a row of losing one score games. And in year two of Rhule we have just seen it happen again. At home. At night. With momentum.

Will this year now be different? Will the Illinois loss prove to be a wake up call and an anomaly as we go on to a 9-3 type season or will it be a harbinger of things to come?

In my opinion this next week will be one of the most important in the Rhule era so far. Can he avoid this season descending into the same mediocrity? Or can he right the ship?

I sure hope it is the latter because if we limp to another 5-7 season he will have a hard time overcoming the narrative that he is just one more failed Husker coach. And I for one just can’t stomach the thought of another “wait till next season” year.
