Nebraska Lost 1,500 Rushing Yards—And the Coach Isn't Panicking. Why?
Matt Rhule just watched his star running back walk out the door to the NFL, taking 1,451 yards with him. The Huskers return only 401 rushing yards from last season—that's a 79% drop. So why didn't Rhule hit the transfer portal? He's either holding the best hand in the room, or he's bluffing hard. The returning backs combined for just 4 touchdowns. One true freshman looked good in the spring game, but Big Ten competition is a different beast. Rhule's betting on kids who barely touched the field. What does he see that we don't?
This breakdown is wild. Rhule's either a genius or about to get roasted. Full video's here if you're curious: https://geni.us/https-CNN
