Rhule talks about quarterback competition at Big Ten Media Days

Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule spoke to ESPN’s Pete Thamel while at Big Ten Media Days earlier in the week. Rhule was asked about his initial impressions of the newly expanded Big Ten Conference.

It’s like being at an NFL’s coaches meeting. It’s a national conference and it’s the best of the best.

Rhule was also asked about Year 2 at Nebraska and if he believes the players are ready to take that next step.

I think when the players start to get confident because of the work they put in. We’re working at a very high level. When they walk around that air of confidence. You know you’re going to make a jump that year and I see that with our guys.

The Husker head coach was asked about the team’s quarterback competition and what Nebraska’s plan will be entering the 2024 college football season.

Dylan is a special player. He comes from a special family. His father spent 14 years in the NFL. He knows the preparation. He knows the process. You’re blessed. I’m excited to see all three of those guys. They’ve worked so hard this summer and I think the first part of camp is just seeing where they are. In the new college football with a 12 team playoff, you know you’re looking at 16 games. You better No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 ready to play.

Nebraska will kickoff the 2024 college football season on August 31 when they welcome UTEP to Memorial Stadium.
