Unorthodox “Bloody Sunday” Decision Benefits Nebraska Football in 20-7 Win Over Illinois

I do have to admit that at least for me personally, the idea of having a long physical scrimmage the day immediately following a football game was an unorthodox decision by Matt Rhule. I do not think I’ve seen it before.

Some thought it was a bad idea. Some were intrigued.

It sure looked like it was right decision.

Most coaches might have had practice last Sunday with a sort of walk-through mentality after getting blown out by Michigan. Giving reps to the 2nd and 3rd teamers while the 1st team guys licked their wounds.

Not Matt Rhule.
