Rhule said, "Always going to play the guy that gives the best chance to win."

If he plays Sims then he's two-faced, hypocritical, ball sucking liar.

Starting the "blame the prior coach" 4th game into the season.

You need some reading comprehension skills. That is not even remotely close to what he is saying. But keep on the Rhule crusade

I'm channeling my 70's, 80's, and 90's fan self for this game. All those 49-7 type games I sat thru to the end back then to watch the 2's and 3's, and even deeper on the depth chart, take the field and see what the future looked like.

I think we’re seeing a lot of the future already early in games. Lots of young guys are getting game reps

I think this is his strategy and probably why his prior teams kick in to gear year three.

I'm interested in the fate of Buddha Wright. He's in his fifth year, but injuries and a serious illnesses really limited his play to just this year and last. Will they carry him for his Covid year? Bullock also has a sixth year. Those two could be starters next year.

I love the fact that they are playing a lot of kids. Keeps kids paying attention and involved in practice. That’s key to talent development.

I would love to see an old fashioned Husker beat down today. Give the team some momentum and confidence going into the Michigan game.
