Friday afternoon’s rivalry game between No. 17 Iowa and Nebraska delivered some chaotic entertainment, whether you think this is incredible football or one of the worst excuses for it. There were a handful of huge plays, weird plays, blocked field goals and a lot of punts — but fans loved and expected that last one, of course.
There was also a moment during the second quarter when Cornhuskers coach Matt Rhule was wildly gesturing as his team desperately tried not to end its final first-half drive with a punt. (Nebraska still ended up punting.)
It was a puzzling moment for anyone watching and wondering exactly what Rhule was trying to express and even had the CBS Sports broadcast crew wondering: “I don’t know what Matt Rhule’s doing there.”

In a wacky game with a shockingly low over/under, this moment from Rhule stood out and quickly became a Thanksgiving meme.
