While Nebraska’s first season under Matt Rhule has come to a close, the Husker head coach believes this year’s senior class has created something special.
“I can’t tell you how much I wanted that game for them and to walk off the field winners. For them to lose in that fashion I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. They are winners. Very grateful for that senior class. They stood in the gap. Everyone might not be able to see it yet, but I truly believe they’ve built something really really special.”
The head coach went on to state that while he’s upset with the way the season ended, the Cornhuskers had their chance to make game-winning plays and failed to execute.
“I hate the way it ended. Credit to Iowa. They are a really good football team. They play a certain way. Obviously had our chances down the stretch. We just weren’t able to make it happen. The things that affected us all year, affected us. And we lost the football game obviously.”
