Rhule needs to lose game time decision making. Not sure why we keep trying to go on 4th and short when we never make it, we are absolutely terrible at it. The goalline stops vs MI and PSU totally changed the games. Taking the lead changes the game and we are absolutely terrible at 4th down. Take the points.

I think at goal line (especially on the road) we had to go for it. My problem was the play calls and frankly our O-line can’t get any push for one yard. Also, There isn’t any creativity to go outside and keep the Defense guessing. That is on Dana and Matt.

Lastly, if the Huskers don’t get the TD when we’re on the opposing teams’s 1 yard line, can Our Defense at least stop the opposing team going 99 yards and scoring a TD? That to me is more frustrating!

Biggest issue with the goalline playcalling is that it looks like we're going to go for a qb sneak, then we just do a hb dive/power right where the defense has everyone set up to stop the qb sneak. Play had 0 chance of working

Holgersen's play calling has been complete **** in those situations, and his play calling throughout most of the game was complete ****. 4th and less than a yard, you go for it every time in that situation. I had 0 problem with the decision, it's just the play call sucked ***.
