Nebraska football head coach Matt Rhule was shocked by his team’s 56-7 loss to Indiana on Saturday. He admitted as much in his postgame press conference.

Indiana had their way with Nebraska on both sides of the football. The Hoosiers accumulated 495 yards of total offense and 215 yards on the ground. They averaged a staggering 7.9 yards per play and recorded 24 first downs in total. They were also able to maximize their drives, as they did not kick a field goal throughout the entire game.

Rhule indicated he did not see this type of game happening, as transcribed by the Lincoln Journal-Star’s Amie Just.

“I’ll be honest with you. I didn’t see this coming. I thought we were gonna play great.”

Nebraska will get no rest following this game as they prepare to take on a top-ten team in the Ohio State Buckeyes. Adjustments will have to be made between now and then, and things need to be fixed quickly in order to succeed.
