The 5-win mark has provided an uncomfortable barrier of sorts for Nebraska in the Matt Rhule era…which is where most of this negativity comes from this bye week

Early Break – 93.7 The Ticket KNTK · Oct 20, 2026 · 19m

-Under Matt Rhule, Nebraska is 4-16 as a program once they have hit the 5-win mark. In 2023, they started and finished 5-7. In both

2024 and 2025, they started 5-1 and finished 7-6. And this year, they began 5-0 and now sit at 5-2 with the bye weekend here

-The combined record of the teams they beat in getting to 5 wins was 79-106….the combined record of the teams they played in their

4-16 stretch is 121-73…when the going gets tough, Nebraska hasn’t kept up…and that is rightful criticism and doubt for the Rhule Era…
