Viewers can expect an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at Rhule’s inaugural season in Lincoln, highlighting the challenges, triumphs, and culture-building efforts that have reignited this storied program.
This upcoming release adds to the growing list of documentaries celebrating Nebraska’s rich football history.
