The countdown until Nebraska’s season opener on August 31 against the UTEP Miners is down to just 14 days, moving Huskers senior running back Rahmir Johnson into today’s player spotlight.

Matt Rhule Huskers scrimmage speech goes viral on Pat McAfee Show
Nebraska football head coach Matt Rhule delivered a stellar speech in the middle of the Red-White scrimmage at the beginning of August. The speech made it onto ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ and was applauded by the hosts. At the time of the speech, the Nebraska football players were struggling and not executing under the watchful eye of the thousands of fans who attended. Although he did not call out any player specifically for their performance, Rhule made it clear he was not happy with the overall effort during the scrimmage.
