Yes, but every week he have to prove you belong and they didn't last night. Rhule's team didn't play Rhule football. They got owned in the trenches, lost two phases of the game while being matched in the third (offense). Tony White was owned by the Illini OC and what exactly does Ed Foley do?

Is this a trick question? WTH? NU has played 3 nobody's & 1 decent team in IL. A good team beats that IL team by 14, and a really good team smokes those dudes. NU was neither last night. Can they be? I think so, but until we see different, it's hard to expect it. Rt now, we're 8-4 team, at best.

Same O Same O. Can't finish, penalties, poor play from both O line and D line, coaching, unable to finish

Opponents the first three weeks were mediocre at best. The defense needs to change the front, and the secondary needs to play way better coverage and not always give the receivers a 4 to 5 yard cushion. We could very easily find ourselves at 500 after the next two games. I hope this isnt the case

Should not be ranked until you beat higher level competition and show growth week in and week out....also need to show they can play solid and win road games...still a good team that still needs to learn how to win and believe they can win....games are never won on paper..GBR!

Hasn't played anyone worthy of that ranking. Stronger teams are waiting on the Conf. It was a good wake up call for big red. Don't get too full of yourself, too soon.

We beat 3 not-so-great teams and really shouldn't have been ranked. Still a long way to go.

I stopped listening to local sports radio after the Colorado win. I began to hear talk of the Playoffs and one midday host here in Omaha declared Raiola the most developed qb Nebraska has ever had. NU beat three inferior foes and a bunch of people started drinking the Rhule-aid.

Not enough consistency; Colorado win was a plus but struggle against NI should have moved NU backwards and Illinois loss (Illinois! ....) should drop them out of top 30. Lot of work remains for a team heading in the right direction but 'not there yet.'

Does Kyle Whittingham's job change give Nebraska a good chance for a bowl win?

Because know the Huskers have a true chance to win now that Utah doesn't have they're coach.

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!
