Football Nebraska's receivers need to play better, and Matt Rhule knows it

"We'll find out a lot about ourselves moving forward. We'll find out about the coaches, we'll find out about the players, we'll find out about me. The last thing we're going to do is sit around and be victims.”

Chasing 3?

What exactly does Rhule want to teach when "Chasing 3"?

- Is it controlling the LOS and establishing the run? We are a balmy 93rd in rushing offense and 105th at yards per attempt (https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/yards-per-rush-attempt). We are down 50 yards per game and 1.0 yards per attempt year over year!

- Is it focusing on special teams? Last year we were 73rd, this year 107th. (https://www.bcftoys.com/2024-sfei)

- Is it turnover margin? We've improved drastically there...to 48th (but we are 93rd over the last 3 games). Still a failure...but an improved failure.

If I were "Chasing 3" those would be the among my top items of focus over last year (with continuing to stop the run...where we've fallen about 10 yards per game.)

I really wish Rhule would learn to focus on details.
