Another one-possession loss for Nebraska, but reason for optimism! USC defeats the Huskers 28-20. “Players need to make plays,” says Matt Rhule. SMQ couldn’t agree more. The plays were available to the team but they left them on the field. Especially the secondary. However, the offense looked better. So there is reason for optimism in what Rhule called “the most important coaching week of my career.” br br Wisconsin rolls into town at 5-5 just like Nebraska.
