On Monday, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule addressed a fan's verbal attack on his 13-year-old daughter following Saturday's 17-10 home loss to Washington, drawing a line on acceptable behavior toward his family.
The Cornhuskers' 17-10 defeat marked their third consecutive loss after a 5-0 start, with frustrated fans throwing trash onto the field at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln following the game.
