Rhule Says Huskers Are in Stage 2 in the 3 Stages of Football

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule told reporters yesterday there are three stages to football. 

He said there is eliminating losing football, then you play winning football, and eventually you are going to play championship football.  He said the 23rd and 24th-ranked Huskers are playing winning football, but still need to reach the next stage. 

“I think there’s so much on the film from this past game that we have to get corrected and get better and that speaks for itself,” Rhule said.  “You come here to have high expectations.  You come here to play in big games.  You come here to play in front of that crowd.  All the reasons that you come here so we expect to be ranked.  Whatever it is, 23rd or 24th, that’s not where we want to end up.”    

Another night game at Memorial Stadium is on tap this Saturday.  It’s a 6:30 p.m. kickoff for the Huskers vs. Northern Iowa.  The pregame begins at 2:30 on News Talk 900 KJSK.  It will be joined at 6 p.m. on 93.5 The Hawk.
