Year 3 of the Matt Rhule era at Nebraska is essentially in the books, and it couldn't have ended in a worse way. With a 40-16 loss, It felt all game long that the Huskers just didn't want to be there, that they were more worried about making mistakes than just going out and playing.
Nebraska fans have seen plenty of that in the last few years. It never works out. The team inevitably always makes mind-numbing mistakes. On Saturday, they made enough mistakes that they allowed a mediocre Iowa offense look like a juggernaut. John Butler's unit, for the second game in a row, had no answer for the running game or the passing game.
