Husker Hot Topic: Has Matt Rhule’s Year 2 transformation happened again?
Welcome to the Hot Topic, a weekly feature that poses a key question about the Nebraska football team. On the “Life in the Red Podcast,” Luke Mullin and Amie Just will discuss a topic heading into that week’s game, and a transcription of the conversation will appear in the Journal Star’s Huskers section before gameday.
Has Matt Rhule’s Year 2 transformation happened again?
Amie: I think so. I do think though — and he’s talked about this before — what he inherited here is a much, much, much better than he inherited at Temple and lightyears better than what he inherited at Baylor, because he inherited one of the worst situations in college football history when he took over at Baylor.
Comparing the two, yeah, it’s kind of in the same realm but Nebraska’s in a much better spot. I do think that Nebraska’s on a trajectory once again for a Matt Rhule team to make a leap between year and year two.
Luke: Absolutely. I think that just comparing the 2023 Colorado game to this year’s game, it is just night and day. The defense was incredible last year; they’re incredible again this year and have gotten better in some aspects too. And the offense is completely transformed from last year too.
