The Stat That Exposes Matt Rhule

Nebraska at The Voice of College Football/October 21, 2026

Nebraska running backs are averaging just 3.8 yards per carry in Big Ten play, leaving Anthony Colandrea as the team's primary rushing threat. Without an inside zone threat, opposing defensive coordinators ignore the run fake and pin their ears back against the pass. More alarming is the historical trend under head coach Matt Rhule: 8 blown fourth-quarter leads in three and a half seasons, continuing a devastating trend that dates back through the Scott Frost era. We analyze the offensive line run blocking, the John Crist press conference parody, and the systemic inability to put opponents away when holding third-quarter leads against Maryland, Indiana, and Oregon.
