-For the second consecutive season, Nebraska was in a tie game against Iowa with under 25 seconds left in regulation, with the ball.
-For the second consecutive season, Nebraska turned it over and gave up the game winning field goal before even getting to overtime.
-Huskers dominant in most phases of the game, except where it matters most: the scoreboard.
-Still making too many little mistakes against disciplined teams.
-Special teams a disaster that must be addressed in the offseason.
-Coach Rhule’s biggest hurdle–which may well define his tenure at Nebraska–will be figuring out how to start winning close games instead of losing them.
-Ultimately, the loss to Iowa and the 1-5 finish to the season raise the stakes for Rhule. Fans will be hankering for a bowl win, and anxious for the Year 3 leap he saw at Temple and Baylor.
Plus, the boys wade into the debate about Nebraska’s captains not shaking the Iowa captains’ hands before the game.
-The Common Fans are of the school that you just shake hands and beat them on the field.
-It’s a rivalry; we’ve certainly seen much worse across college football.
-But if you’re going to make a thing about not shaking hands, then you have to go win the game.
-Iowa has been plenty disrespectful over the years, and they love manufactured outrage.
-But the no-handshake stunt feels like the team’s focus is taken away from other things–like making field goals, returning punts, and tackling.
-Ultimately you have to win this game. Everything else is a distraction.
