Preseason buzz continues to build for the Nebraska football program, which looks to have its first winning season in eight years. The hype is palpable, with talent on both sides of the football field.
The program will look to clinch a bowl berth for the first time since the 2016 season. Multiple experts are particularly high on Nebraska, and that includes Collin Cowherd and Urban Meyer. Meyer gave a strong endorsement to Rhule in the Nebraska football program in an appearance on The Herd earlier this week. He cited several reasons why he would want to join the program.
“You stole my thunder. I’m a Nebraska fan. You know, if I was a player I love to go to Nebraska. It’s that history, the stadium, the fans are incredible. We coached out there, and they’ve been really down for several years. I was shocked on the sideline a couple of times when we played against them.”
It seems the pieces are in place for Nebraska to have a winning season. Multiple media personalities believe that Nebraska is finally in a place where they can succeed. Meyer continued with his praise of Rhule’s tenure as Cornhusker head coach.
“You know, you talk about a team that didn’t look like Nebraska of old. I just think he’s recruited well. You know, they got the transfer quarterback, Dylan, that is a really good player. I like their coach, their coach knows how to win. He’s won at every level. There’s a difference between winning, and winning at every level. That’s why I got a lot of respect for Matt Rhule.”
They have a favorable start to the schedule, with four of the first five games at Memorial Stadium. Now, it’s just a matter of execution, something the program has faltered in the past couple of seasons.
