Nebraska faces its biggest test yet against USC, and Matt Rhule challenged his team to focus on the moment, not the noise.

With the heavy workload he gets in games I would be curious if RB EJ isn't eased up on a bit during practice? Fewer reps and more Mosee work? I doubt Rhule would share that with me.

i would think if we won out we'd have a 50% chance at an at large playoff birth. we'd need michigan and oregon to lose at least 1 more game

He had a great quote in his Tuesday presser saying, "A lot of cold tub" is how he's able to stay fresh. One thing is for sure; the dude is durable.

A 10-2 Nebraska team is what the people want. We'll learn a lot this weekend, but a loss makes it impossible to be in at this point, especially with Minnesota being taken to the woodshed by Iowa just one week after doing it to us.

We got a horrible record in November for sure. I'll say part of it is a simple one word reason. Depth. Until we develop 2 deep across each position, we will struggle in the back half of the season. Injuries, fatigue etc.. Where are we truly 2 deep where it is a 1a or 1b vs true 1 and then 2 or 2 or 2.....EJ is a beast. a legit DUDE. But going into game 8 who is clear #2. OL.....Please....DL.....come on man.

Just read an article on Ohio St and Ryan Day calling games and substituting folks that amounts to starters playing one less game than other teams "to keep them fresh down the stretch"...
