Will Matt Rhule Ever Figure It Out at Nebraska?

Common Fan Podcast/November 2, 2026

Another Saturday. Another heartbreaking Nebraska football loss. Another game the Huskers had every opportunity to win, only to find a way to lose.

Nebraska fell to Washington 17-10 on Halloween night, dropping its third consecutive game and leaving Husker fans wondering how the same nightmare keeps happening over and over again. The Blackshirts delivered another outstanding performance, but offensive mistakes, special teams failures, ill-timed penalties, questionable coaching decisions, and a disastrous fourth quarter once again turned a winnable game into a devastating defeat.

The Common Fans have plenty to say about this one. And while the frustration is reaching new heights, there's also a bigger conversation about what Nebraska football means to those of us who have stuck with it through the years.
