Sipple: Three quick thoughts from Nebraska's awful loss at Rutgers

1. Let's not sugarcoat this loss. It's awful on a lot of levels for Nebraska, which falls to 13-6 overall and 3-5 in the Big Ten. We can all agree Tim Miles has put together a highly talented roster. I say it all the time: With talent comes responsibility. The Huskers fell to a Scarlet Knights outfit that is 9-9 and 2-6. In short, Miles' crew failed to fulfill its responsibility. The better team lost. Yes, that's on Miles. As a result, a lot of public sentiment will shift against the seventh-year Nebraska head coach. People who were on the fence -- my sense is there are plenty of those types -- will jump on the bandwagon that believes he's not the right coach to push the Huskers to another level.
