Nebraska Coach Rhule Optimistic After Turnaround Season

Nebraska football, led by head coach Matt Rhule, is entering the 2025 season with renewed optimism after achieving their first winning season since 2016, finishing 7–6 in 2024. Speaking at Big Ten Media Days, Rhule stated the program is 'close to fixed,' referencing past struggles under former coach Scott Frost and emphasizing improved team unity and leadership. Sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola has shown significant leadership growth following a challenging freshman year. Rhule's focus on accountability and team improvement, along with support from the administration, has raised expectations for Nebraska's Big Ten prospects. The 2025 schedule features tough opponents such as Michigan and USC. The Huskers aim to build on their progress and contend for a return to national prominence.
