Nebraska Cornhuskers College Football Preview 2023

Not yet, Husker fans. It’s coming, but give it just a wee bit longer before the success finally returns. The world is a better place when the schools with superpower football bloodlines are great. USC, Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, Notre Dame - college football needs programs that have a rich history of success, especially when there’s a powder keg base of generational fans just waiting to explode.

Welcome to Nebraska. Husker fans aren’t asking to party like it’s 1995. For now, they just want a team that can show a glimmer of hope that the wins and success might be returning again. It’s been six LONG years without a winning season, and the weirdest-worst part about it all was that Nebraska wasn’t totally awful over the run. Over and over and over and over again it seemed like a moment was there when just one play or right break could turn the corner, and every time … yoink.

Now the six-time defending national champion at inventing new and creative ways to lose close games has a coach who might be able to change all of that. It should’ve worked with Scott Frost, didn’t, and now Matt Rhule takes over as a prize hire to restore the glory. But again, be patient. The guy is being paid more than $9 million a season over the next eight years to get this right. Rhule took over Temple in 2014 - and went 2-10 and 6-6 before leading the way to two straight ten-win seasons and an American Athletic Conference Championship. He left for Baylor when it was in reboot mode after one of the most horrific scandals in college football history - and went 1-11 and 7-6 before guiding the team to an 11-win season in 2019 with an appearance in the Big 12 Championship.

(By the way, Baylor didn’t beat anyone who was that great in Rhule’s three years, and the Carolina Panthers are paying over $30 million for him to not be their head coach, but let’s not yuck the yum because …) College football will be more fun when Nebraska is terrific, and everything is banking on Rhule to make that happen.
