## Resource

Nebraska football enters its fourth season under Matt Rhule with a 19-19 record and a brutal reality: the media projects them 11th in the Big Ten for 2026, a far cry from the program’s storied past. After two bowl appearances in three years and back-to-back 7-6 seasons, fans are demanding more — especially as the conference toughens and Rhule’s hefty pay and resources remain unchanged. With a brutal schedule featuring six teams ranked ahead of them and a troubling 10-17 record in Big Ten play since 2023, Nebraska’s window to break out is closing fast. An 11th-place finish typically means bowl eligibility on the edge — and potentially a repeat of last year’s four-win nightmare. To truly turn things around, they need to crack eight wins for the first time since 2016, climbing into the upper half against teams like Minnesota and Illinois. With a 21st-toughest schedule, it’s a tall order — but Rhule’s time to prove he can deliver is now. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
