Husker Football 2025 Season Autopsy | Fatal Wounds & Final Grades

A full autopsy on the 2025 Nebraska Football season, breaking down exactly where the Huskers succeeded and where the "fatal wound" occurred. We dive deep into season grades for every position group and evaluate Matt Rhule's Year 2 performance. From the impact of Dylan Raiola's injury against USC to the surprising regression of the defensive line, we leave no stone unturned in this Husker season recap. We also debate the true team MVP, discuss the John Butler experiment, and analyze whether the "Minnesota mindset" issue was a sign of deeper coaching failures.
