Rhule is 2-8 on the road as Nebraska's coach, with wins only at Illinois (20-7, 2023) and at Purdue (28-10, 2024) Otherwise, since 2023, Rhule has lost 7 times in conference play on the road---6 of those as one-score losses (Indiana 2024 the only non-one score game)—and the 36-14 loss at Colorado in 2023. Is improved special teams enough to believe the trend in close games on the road can be flipped? Or QB play/better play calling?
