Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule met with the media on Monday afternoon. One of the topics of conversation continues to be the allegations of sign stealing against the Michigan Football team.
Nebraska lost to the Wolverines in the fifth game of the regular season by a score of 45-7. The head coach of the Cornhuskers was asked about the allegations and if he has had any recent conversations with other conference coaches or Big Ten officials.
“No one is having conversations with me. At the end of the day, what’s the Husker prayer? Dear Lord, the battles we go through in life, we ask for a chance that’s fair. That’s all I want. Every game, I want the 60 minutes of the game to be fair, not tilted one way or the other. I just think I want to do things right so our players learn the difference between right and wrong, even in competitive equity.”
He also expressed frustration at the manner in which some people have defended the alleged actions against the Wolverines.
“I think it’s a shame when people say ‘well, it wouldn’t have mattered.’ It is what it is. Other people have talked about it. It happened, whether it affected it or not, none of that matters to me. I just feel bad for our guys. They look at me like ‘hey, coach, what are you doing about this?’ So I do feel like I need to say something on their behalf. We carry this record, but I just want everything to be fair. That’s all I care about.”
Nebraska will now prepare to host the Maryland Terrapins at Memorial Stadium this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. and can be seen on Peacock. You can find a photo gallery of Nebraska’s loss to Michigan below.
