The Morning After: The Grandmaster

Matt Rhule? Let me introduce you to Kirk Ferentz. He’s a Grandmaster. You knew you were playing a Grandmaster Friday night in Kinnick Stadium, right?

This sort of ugly game, the weird game plan of running into a 10- or 11-man box, the bend but don’t break defense, the cling onto this thing by your finger nails? Well, Nebraska...you just ran into a Grandmaster at that sort of game and didn’t put him away when you had the chance. You can’t do that against someone as well-versed in the ugly game as Kirk James Ferentz.

NOBODY does this better than Ferentz.
