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.

Bill Petty

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

Rob Robertson

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!

Crawler

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.

Suicide Slush Puppie

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.'

Should the 1915 Cornhuskers be added to the list of Nebraska football’s national champions?

Why not, works for Michigan and Notre Dame.

Matthew Lynn

My great uncle Ed Shaw was on that team. They went undefeated, including a close game vs. Notre Dame. Go Huskers!

Let's not be one of those fan bases.

Jacob Moseman

Retro-actively adding a 109-year-old National Championship doesn't add credibility to a program with 0 draft picks.

Are you excited about the hiring of Troy Dannen as the new Athletic Director?

Because He is excited to be here, He Knows the Challenges and expectations but doesn't shy away from it, He Kicked ass at Tulane,,,, if you can kick ass there, Nebraska should be even better with all the resources and support. I anticipate he will do great things.,

Steven Benscoter

because our AD. GBR

Nick Hornig

Because I watched his interview with Jessical Coody, and he seems pretty motivated about future changes in college sports

Steve “S85” T

He knows and understands Nebraska. He talked to Dr.Tom Osborne, absolutely loves Rhule and his staff. He truly believes in the Huskers.

Thomas Wright

Trev WHO ?

Sam Thierstein

Because he wants to come home. Trev left home.

Steve Blad

If Rhule likes him, I'm in.

Loren Zimmerman

I think he equal to Trev Alberts. Unlike previous ADs, like Alberts, he's a 'local' guy.

Visitor

Hard to really know for sure at this point in time. Let's see how things are going a year or two from now.

Bud Chapin

Very Experienced and people leader!

Gary Schneider

He did an awesome job bringing Tulane back to winning ways by hiring Coach Fritz!! He will fit in at Nebraska very nicely!!

Robert Lloyd

If he is committed yes, but these 'elites' are a problem for decent society. They sell us down the river every time it seems. Trev owed us more explanation than we got. May A&M lose every game.

Jeremy Starr

Keith Maloney

Maybe he can pull the knife out of our backs that Trev stuck in? He has forever ruined his Nebraska legacy by bailing on us! He was looking to move up probably before he took the AD job. So yes I'm excited.
