Well Rhule, you'll have to change some coaching duties around to even have a respectable chance at running the ball. Here's looking at you run game coordinator, oline coach and offensive coordinator.. Just stealing Nebraska's money.
Matt Rhule off-week presser #Huskers-Did a normal Monday. Will practice Tuesday through Thursday then be off through Sunday.-Happy with the turnover margin.*a couple of false starts on this presser because of reporters' phones falling lol*-Being a physical team is a work in progress-Against Illinois, got caught looking at the scoreboard instead of just playing-Culture of execution, in terms of penalties, would like to see improve. Especially pre-snap penalties and personal fouls and such. Drawing a lot of penalties too.-Special teams is a tale of two things: punts landing inside the 10, fake a punt, stop a fake...but giving up blocked kicks and punts.-Run game offensively "is not where it needs to be"-A lot of things to work on. Doing a good job self-scouting right now.-Riley Van Poppel played on Saturday, something that was planned ahead of time.-Some potential redshirt guys have played 2 or 3 games already.-James Williams impacted the game against Rutgers after the tough decision to redshirt last year.-Dylan Raiola "has been great". Has had some wow moments.-Was hard to get into a rhythm offensively with starting field position in the second half, though that's not an excuse.-Not just a "do your job guy". "Do your job AND go make a play".-Guys on offense need to do better at not getting tackled.-"Those 12 yards runs have to start being 50 yard runs"-Ceyair Wright "has done an excellent job"-Goal line stand was "good calls by Tony (White) with great plays by players"-Not sure of the rotation for DBs if/when Tommi Hill is good to return.-Isaac Gifford blocked the wrong guy on the first blocked punt.-Personal protector missed a block on the second blocked punt.-Wishes he would have done the fake punt earlier.-One of the best things Rhule has ever seen is Brian Buschini struggling through pain but getting throws in during halftime in advance of the fake punt.-"That last punt was as big a play as I've been a part of"-Fake punt was a call and not a decision by the punt team in the moment.-Tristan Alvano is beginning the phase of testing where he's at for health and returning.-Blye Hill is set to play four of the final six games to hold onto his redshirt. A good backup if Tommi can't go and Ceyair would be out.-Heinrich Haarberg needs to play more.-The challenge in getting Haarberg in more and getting him the ball is having so many talented players on offense.-Not surprised by the 6-0 start for Indiana.-Brought over a lot of guys who know how to win with new coaching staff. Already had some good players there.-"You would have never though Alabama would have lost to Vandy"-The transfer portal has changed the game on who can have success.-Great teams of the 90s and 2000s were stacked with talent. That talent is being spread out a little more with the portal and NIL.-No one has talked with Rhule about wanting to redshirt and hit the portal.-Ty Robinson is a force this year because of his development. Allows him to be out there for multiple different packages.-"I still wake up at night upset we lost to Illinois"-Proud of the work and growth by the team through the first half of the season.-Rare for Rhule to have the team with two tackling days during the week, something they did last week ahead of Rutgers.-James Williams can be anyone he wants to be.-"My kids love him; my dogs love him"-Terrance Knighton has done a good job of building a room of comradery.-Won't do much recruiting during the off week. Going to do more on the second off week.-"I'm a button pusher, no doubt."-Unbelievably physical in the spring and training camp and then aprehension in season about player load.-"In order to play great defense you have to practice great defense."-Not allowed to quit. You can lose, don't want to lose, but people aren't paying to watch the team lie down.-No thinking with pregame physicality drills. Just about coming together and celebrating the team being physical.-Happy for Micah Mazzccua getting in and playing well. Can be whatever he wants to be but has to stay focused day by day.
Damn impressive halfway into the season.
I think one of the coolest parts of coaching at that level would be hitting up the "free gear" room.
I don't even like a lot of the NU gear but to be able to just grab what you want when you want, that would be awesome.

My daughter used to work in the NU ticket office. Her first day there, an intern came by to get her shoe, shirt and pants size. A few days later a huge box of new Adidas apparel was delivered to her office
Could be- going to be an interesting game. Hope are O shows up.
Must have hit a nerve. Good.
You can attack me all you want BIG BO FAN.. I guess that's how you reach "Gold Member" status.
Fanduel is the only place I have seen it. They have IU as 3.5 favorites. It has since been removed. Maybe they jumped the gun and have to reevaluate?
Also expect a juiced atmosphere for the game in Bloomington, hearing from a lot of IU alums who don’t usually make the trip for homecoming are going this year, tickets and accommodation might be a bit tougher to get then in previous years at IU. (Difficult does not mean impossible- still lots of IU fans who will part with tickets I’m sure)
We'll be underdogs for the first time this year. I think their defense is still a bit soft. Their offense has carved everyone up they've played.
There are literally tickets available in 2/3's of the sections of your stadium from your own ticket office.
Tickets are around $50 elsewhere.
Their offense is not averaging much more than what the teams they have played are giving up on average.
Counterpoint to that is Nebraska's offense hasn't been anything special, but if the weather is decent I could see Nebraska having some big play potential.
Then buy em early, still would expect near a full house by game day
Didn’t say it was impossible to get tickets
BTW I think Indiana is a good team. I just think these games should be sold out already if your team is 6-0. That's inexcusable imo.
Illinois came into Lincoln to a 'juiced' crowd and made good work of us. I don't expect IU to be any harder for the away team to handle due to the crowd.
I root for Nebraska, so I’ll take the “your team” comment as you generally speaking
IU fans generally feel more passionate about tailgating than attending the games. Yes agree with 6-0 team fans should be showing more support
