Matt Rhule, the head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, is taking the Week 2 matchup against the Colorado Buffaloes very seriously. In a recent podcast with Joel Klatt, Rhule praised CU quarterback Shedeur Sanders as one of the best players he has ever coached against. Despite losing to the Buffs last season, Rhule commended Sanders for his competitiveness and skill on the field.
Rhule acknowledged the talent of the entire Colorado team, mentioning players like Travis Hunter and highlighting the significance of the rivalry game being broadcast nationally. He emphasized the importance of football being a nationwide phenomenon, rather than confined to specific regions. Rhule credited Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, for making football more relevant to a broader audience.
Looking ahead to the upcoming game against Colorado, Rhule sees it as a huge opportunity for his program to gain exposure and showcase their abilities on a national stage. Despite the previous year’s controversial incidents in Boulder, Rhule expressed optimism about the potential of the game and the impact it could have on football fans across the country.
The Colorado Buffaloes will face off against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Memorial Stadium in Week 2, with kickoff scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 7 at 5:30 p.m. MT. The game will be broadcast on NBC, marking the Buffs’ first appearance on the network since 1995.
