Matt Rhule reflects on Nebraska's loss and viral 'Shout' moment
Summary

Nebraska coach Matt Rhule addressed the media following a recent loss to Oregon, during which his team was leading 14-6 after three quarters. In a viral moment, some Nebraska players participated in a dance to the song 'Shout' during the game's break, similar to UCLA's previous game at the same venue. Rhule expressed regret over allowing this moment to overshadow the focus necessary for winning in the fourth quarter. The Cornhuskers have struggled recently, having not beaten a ranked team since 2016 and facing pressure from a dissatisfied fan base. Rhule noted the importance of maintaining discipline and trust in his coaching instincts.
