The Wheels Are Coming Off the Matt Rhule Era

Nebraska fell to Illinois 24-13 on Friday night, its fourth consecutive defeat after a promising 5-0 start. The Huskers delivered a sloppy, uninspired performance filled with drive-killing penalties, missed field goals, questionable play calls, and an offense that once again couldn't get out of its own way. Then, less than 24 hours later, Matt Rhule fired offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen.

The Common Fans break down the Illinois debacle, discuss Holgorsen's dismissal, and tackle the increasingly uncomfortable questions surrounding Rhule, athletic director Troy Dannen, and the direction of Nebraska football.
