Barely losing to a team that has had multiple 9-win seasons and is a favorite to win the division is not exactly a “disastrous” start in my book.
Normally you’d be correct but Nebraska fans are flat out tired of losing games likes this. Like we may be approaching the point of them burning down Memorial Stadium over it. If I remember right Nebraska under Frost lost something like 20 single score games in the 4th Quarter with most of those being inside the final five minutes!
For Rhule to lose his FIRST GAME in the same way is almost too much to take.
I am a Nebraska fan, btw. I guess that wasn’t clear from my first comment.
What most people seem to be missing is that a great many of those one-score losses were due to terrible coaching or just completely unbelievable mistakes by players. This game, by contrast, was lost by crucial turnovers, which is basically how every close game usually ends.
