But Rumph, the coach at Plantation-American Heritage and a former Atlantic High standout, said he sat among an increasingly tense crowd at Sun Life Stadium during Nebraska’s 23-point comeback. He said much of the tension was directed at the coaching staff.
“It was amazing to hear the fans,” Rumph said on WQAM. “We got up 21 [points], and the fans were like, ‘Yay?’ But any mistake we made, they were ready to jump down the staff’s throats. Five-yard penalty, ‘Oh here goes old UM. … Here we go again.’ I was getting upset. You’re all cheering, but one little mistake and everybody’s ready to jump ship.”
