They showed Rhule after the post game field interview. He walked away slowly with his hands in his pockets and seemed unsure of what he was doing. Odd.

I will say the O line, D line, RBs and Colandrea have proven me wrong so far.
Really impressed by the three turnovers. All of them were forced by smart aggressive defense. We had seasons with guys like Deantae Grixby who could not cover to save their life, never made a single pass breakup and we had two aggressive picks and a strip sack. We were either WAY more talented than Michigan state or we have talent which can compete in the conference. We'll know in a couple weeks.

I'm very happy with the big win. Michigan State might not be great but they're not the worst team in the conference... Any road win in the B1G is something to celebrate 🍻 🌽 ☠️

And it's great to see some actual positivity on this message board, even if it's just for one week! 😊

I'm scarred from earlier seasons, hope we don't like/play like shite against the Twerps next week
Rhule's teams don't really **** the bed, they just are what they are...and we are plenty good to thrash Maryland. He has 23 wins at Nebraska and none of them are against good teams, but he does beat the bad teams.

This is a better roster and the best team overall of Rhule's tenure But we had around 10 penalties and looked dead in the 3rd quarter. MSU isn't a very good team. Beat Indiana or Oregon and we'll be cooking with grease. Neither of those teams are dominant.

I wouldn’t say Rhule has saved NU football. If they beat Indiana I might join the OP in that sentiment.

Luke Fickell just beat PSU at PSU, which was a ranked win. Regardless of if Penn State deserved to be ranked or not, they were ranked today and State College is a tough place to play. And Matt Campbell is a good coach.

Rhule needs a win like that. Beat a ranked team on the road. Or, hell, beat a ranked team anywhere.

He will likely have four chances this year with Indiana, Oregon, Ohio State and Iowa.

I've said for quite sometime now that there are a number of players on this team that I really like. Colandrea is a gritty baller, Rule has shown to be a happy warrior with fantastic tools, Gilmer, Hunter, and Barney are very exciting. The offensive line are now not an embarrassment and with every game are getting more confident. The D line played very well today and most of the D backs are very good. I will start endorsing Rhule if he involves himself much much less in game time decision making.
I said before this season started that the talent is here on this team for 9 wins but the leadership and resilience is lacking at the very top.
