LINCOLN, Neb. — Matt Rhule entered Saturday with a great deal of optimism about what his team might have been able to do against the No. 2 team in the country.
Coming off two straight wins over Group of Five opponents, Rhule had said earlier in the week that Michigan was his model for the team he hopes to build at Nebraska. However, on Saturday, he learned just how far away the Huskers are from the Wolverines.
Michigan left no doubt from the opening kick that it was elite compared to its opponent. After the game, Rhule lamented how it went and said numerous positive things about the maize and blue. Omitting the questions he had specifically about his team, here’s everything Rhule said as it pertained to the Wolverines in his postgame press conference.
