Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule met with the media one last before Saturday’s game against the UTEP Miners. When asked about the offense heading into Saturday, the Husker head coach was blunt with his expectations.
“I just want them to play well,” he said. “I want the team to look the way it’s supposed to look. I want to play hard, play physical, I want to have clean football. I want to protect the football, I want to be aggressive, I want to block their pressures, their excellent defense, excellent pressure unit. Recognize their fronts.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will face the UTEP Miners on Saturday, Aug. 31, at 2:30 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on Fox. Below are more comments from Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule.
On the challenge the quarterbacks will face on Saturday
Dylan (Raiola) will have a challenge, and the other quarterbacks will have a challenge in recognizing their coverage structures. They’ll check when we check, they’re a really well put together team. I want us to play well, that’s all I care about, and I want that for the whole team.”
On if he’s nervous leading up to kickoff
“Honestly, there’s a lot of nerves,” he said. “I bear a tremendous responsibility to do my job well for the players. You get into game day and the decisions you make, even something as new as a two-minute timeout – I’m just making sure that I’m constantly in the moment and that I’m doing a good job for our players. I get nervous, but I’m also really excited. I’m really excited for the guys. This is a good football team. We have to make the step of playing like a good football team, but we are a good football team.
