As he dove across Boston College's 24-yard line, Nebraska running back Rahmir Johnson quickly jumped up and screamed to the sky in celebration. He knew he had just clinched the Huskers' first winning season since 2016. Needing one more first down to finish off the Golden Eagles in Saturday's Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, Nebraska turned to Johnson, Harlem's native son, for one more big run on a day he may not ever forget. Ahead of the fourth-and-1 play, which, if not converted, would have given Boston College one last chance to win the game, Johnson said the message was simple. "Coach just said to get the first down and protect the ball," Johnson said. "This is your city, so finish it." And that he did. Johnson burst through for 11 yards. Ball game. "It was a great run," Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said. "He knew the situation. He knew four-minute and it was a really good play." For Johnson, who scored his first touchdown of the season earlier in the game, Saturday's 20-15 Pinstripe Bowl win was a perfect bow to a college career that never seemed to go his way. It was also the place he needed to be for closure of struggle that very few people knew about. Following the win, Rhule revealed to media that Johnson's mother, Angela, had passed away in November after battling sickness throughout the entire football season. Rahmir didn't want to tell anyone, according to Rhule, because he didn't want to be a distraction to the team. Rhule said Johnson went back home to New York just once, during Nebraska's bye week following its loss to UCLA, to mourn with family. But there was never a doubt in Johnson's mind that he wouldn't finish out a college career that started six years ago. "I love this program," Johnson said. "I'm dedicated to this place and even with news like that I wanted to play for these guys." In doing so, Johnson put together his best performance of the season, rushing for 60 yards on 10 carries, and scoring Nebraska's first touchdown of the game from 4 yards out. It ultimately earned him the game's Most Valuable Player award, which he had to to leave the Yankee Stadium stands where he celebrating with friends and family — and the Harlem Jets, his youth football program — to receive at center stage on the field. "Those are the men that keep me in coaching," Rhule said of Johnson following the game. "He is awesome. For him to go out there and do that today. For him to have that (final) run and for us to have to get him out of the stands to accept the MVP trophy... It's never been about him." For one Saturday, however, the moment was Johnson's, because for a player that has had very few things go his way over the course of his college career, it was deserving. Johnson has dealt with injuries throughout most of his time in Lincoln, suffering a season-ending injury after just three games last year. Rhule, who recalled Johnson crying in his office after that injury, said Johnson returned for a sixth season with no guarantees. During the regular season, Johnson rushed for just 201 yards on 45 carries. Though injuries happened again, causing him to miss three more games during the regular season, including his final one in Memorial Stadium against Wisconsin, Johnson never wavered. "When I came back for my sixth year, I wanted to do something special," Johnson said. "Everything I do is for Nebraska and this team." And in his final performance, like in most Broadway-type stories, Johnson saved his best for last. "I think this is a fitting end for him," Rhule said. "I hope he wears his pads on the subway, goes to his apartment and takes that MVP trophy out somewhere." Blackshirts finish strong In its first game under new defensive coordinator John Butler, Rhule said he felt the transition was "seamless" with the Huskers holding one of college football's best rushing teams to a season-low. "There was no drop off," Rhule said of the Blackshirts. "Boston College did a good job with some screens that hurt us, but for the most part I felt the defense played really well." The Huskers held Boston College, which was averaging over 175 rushing yards per game, to just 47 yards on 26 carries, forcing the Golden Eagles to chase the game through the air. Quarterback Grayson James finished 25-for-40 for 296 yards. Though James found some success in the passing game, with six completions gaining over 15 yards, the Huskers were able to keep Boston College out of the end zone until late in the fourth quarter. Of Boston College's six drives that gained 40 or more yards, only one ended in points and its first touchdown of the game. Their second touchdown came after a blocked punt, setting the Golden Eagles up inside the 5-yard line. In the other instances, Nebraska's defense bent but didn't break, forcing a missed field goal, a fumble and four turnovers on downs. "We knew they were going to going for it on fourth down. That’s just who they were," senior Ty Robinson said. "When you play defense, it is mentality thing. Coach Butler said he was going to be really aggressive with his play-calling. "Kudos to those guys blitzing hard, the defensive line holding their blocks and the safeties and defensive backs covering guys long enough for us to go out and actually make an impact on those plays." Changes coming to special teams It felt fitting that in Nebraska's final game of the 2024 season, special teams issues reared their ugly head one final time. Boston College's lone points in the first half came on a blocked extra point following Kwinten Ives's touchdown run. Instead of the Huskers taking a 14-0 lead, Boston College was able to get some momentum, trailing just 13-2 at the break. In the fourth quarter, Nebraska's win started to come into doubt, when the Golden Eagles blocked a punt, recovered at the 2-yard line and found the end zone on the next play to cut their deficit to five points. The Huskers also had a fake field goal go wrong, just moments after converting on a fake punt to extend a drive when Brian Buschini completed to pass to Isaac Gifford. Following the game, Rhule said special teams improvements will be a major focus. "It wasn’t very good," he said. "You can’t get blocked up (on the punt). I have to go back and see that... We have had snapping issues all year long, and I think we have already tried to address that for next year." Part of Nebraska's early transfer portal strategy has been to revamp its special teams unit, getting commitments from former New Hampshire long snapper Kevin Gallic and Washington punter Jack McCallister. John Hohl, more than likely, enters the offseason in the driver's seat to be the Huskers' kicker moving forward, after making 10 of his 15 attempts during the season, and finishing three-for-five from beyond 40 yards. Whether that means a coaching change, too, with special teams coordinator Ed Foley, remains to be seen. Still, Rhule understands the importance of cleaning up those areas for Nebraska to take its next step as a program. "To be what we want to be next year, we have to be the same defensively, probably a little bit better in some areas," Rhule said. "We have to improve on offense and special teams, we need a complete and total overhaul of that. We need to be better at that. I always put those things on my shoulders. We will get it done, but it has not been good enough this year."As Setien embarks on this new chapter in his career, he must learn from the mistakes of his past and approach his role with humility and determination. The National Security team, with its own set of challenges and expectations, will provide him with a platform to showcase his skills and prove that he is capable of leading a successful team. Only time will tell if Setien can rise above the shadows of his past and carve out a new legacy as the head coach of a national team.

In pro golf parlance, Saturday is “moving day,” the penultimate day of a tournament when players try to improve their standing to make a run at the title in the final round. For the Steelers, this time of year is similar. Particularly under Mike Tomlin, the stretch between mid-November and mid-December typically has played a major role in defining the vast majority of the past 17 seasons. Since Tomlin was hired in 2007, the Steelers have had a tendency to either salvage a foundering season by triggering a late run or have undergone some degree of a collapse to sully what had the appearance of a successful campaign. On seven occasions under Tomlin, the Steelers have started runs that included a winning streak and/or stretch of at least six wins in eight games at some point between Week 10 and Week 13. But Tomlin also has presided over six seasons that went the other way: Steelers teams with winning records have, between Weeks 10 and 13, started streaks of three straight losses or started skids of 1-3, 1-4 or 1-5. During four of those instances, the Steelers went from playoff position to missing the postseason. This is all relevant to these 2024 Steelers, who, after 11 weeks, sat at 8-2 and held a 1 1/2-game lead in the AFC North. That was until Thursday night’s 24-19 defeat at the Cleveland Browns. A solitary loss, in the big picture, might not define the season, particularly one on a short week to a division rival in a snowstorm. Chalk it up as “stuff happens,” right? Maybe, but the defending Super Bowl champion Steelers of 2009 probably were telling themselves that when, at 6-2, they lost a divisional home game to the Cincinnati Bengals. It was the start of the five-game losing streak, and the Steelers missed the playoffs. Or what about three years later? The Steelers were riding high on a four-game winning streak when, during Week 11, another AFC North foe, the Baltimore Ravens, won at Heinz Field. It was the start of a stretch of five losses in six games, again costing the Steelers a playoff berth. The 2018 Steelers were 7-2-1 and, on Thanksgiving weekend, lost in Denver to begin a three-game slide that kept them home in January. Stumbles late in the 2007, 2019 and 2020 seasons also screeched the brakes on encouraging seasons of varying degrees. Can these Steelers — winners of five straight before Thursday — avoid a similar fate? They insist so. “We have a lot of football left. We have a lot of opportunities to respond in the highest way, highest level,” quarterback Russell Wilson said. “Everything that we want is still in front of us. We have to be able to refresh after this weekend. After these Thursday night games, just played a tough game on Sunday and you come back and have another game Thursday night, it’s a lot of games in a short amount of days. We have to let our bodies recover, reset mentally, and then come back and push for the stretch.” Tomlin gave the Steelers a four-day respite from practice. But he has no way of offering relief from the gauntlet of games that awaits. Three of the remaining six opponents are among the five biggest favorites to win the Super Bowl (per FanDuel betting odds): the Kansas City Chiefs, Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles. Another is against the team that just beat them, the Browns. And the remaining two are against one of the NFL’s best offenses — and best quarterbacks — Joe Burrow and the rival Bengals. When the schedule was released in the spring, it had been anticipated that the Steelers’ late-season run would be a challenge. “That’s the great part of it: We have the guys to do it,” Wilson said. “We have the mentality to do it. We have the edge to do it. We have the response to do it.” These Steelers have proven their worthiness as contenders. They are 5-0 against teams sitting in playoff positions. That means just as much as questionable defeats to the likes of the Indianapolis Colts (5-6), Dallas Cowboys (3-7) or Browns (3-8). Longtime captain Cameron Heyward said Thursday’s loss won’t affect the team’s focus or preparation. “If you’re not learning from your wins and you’re only learning from your losses, shame on you,” Heyward said. “You can be humbled in every game. You try to learn something in every game.” The same can be said for seasons. And as much as the collapses of 2009 or 2018 or, say, 2020 (when the 11-0 Steelers lost five of their final six) can trigger fear among fans that the Browns loss portends another late-season swoon, the Steelers under Tomlin also have more than a half-dozen cases in which they turned things around down the stretch. Then there’s the Steelers of 2011 and 2017, who were cruising by the time they reached Thanksgiving and kept riding that wave through the end of their regular seasons (finishing 12-4 and 13-3, respectively). “Any game, you’ve gotta have short-term memory,” outside linebacker Nick Herbig said. “Regardless of who it is, win or loss.” The Steelers vow that when they return to practice Tuesday that the discomforting loss in Cleveland will be well behind them. “I love this football team,” Wilson said. “(These are) the right guys, the right energy. This is the right response. We are disappointed, but we’re not discouraged. We’re not flinching in the midst of it. We’ll respond the right way.”Moreover, the humanitarian consequences of infighting must not be overlooked. Civilian populations caught in the crossfire between rival armed groups face increased risks of displacement, violence, and human rights abuses. The breakdown of cooperation and coordination among anti-government forces could also hinder efforts to provide essential services and humanitarian aid to vulnerable communities in conflict-affected areas.Porch Group, Inc.
