Nebraska Football Coach Matt Rhule Meets with the Media for the Final Time Before Husker Games

Nebraska football is now 13 practices into the spring session.
Head coach Matt Rhule, as well as linebacker Jacob Bower, defensive back Amare Sanders and running back Emmett Johnson, met with the media after Tuesday's practice. Rhule said the program, like many others, is operating in "murky waters" without the House vs. NCAA settlement being approved yet with the rules going forward for collegiate athletics.
"We still don't know all the rules.," Rhule said. "We're still trying to figure all that out."
Rhule said the twos and threes will be the ones playing in the scrimmage Saturday for the Husker Games.
"I'd like to get about 60 plays," Rhule said. "I think it's gonna be fun. Might be about 15 plays each quarter."
Other topics Rhule hit on Tuesday included general manager Pat Stewart's role, the difference between "Matt" and "Coach Rhule", Dylan Raiola's progress, the Husker Games competitions, the backup quarterbacks, spring injuries, the transfer portal, Cam Jurgens, the NFL Draft, and more.
The appearance from Rhule, as well as from the players, is posted below. Keep scrolling for more coverage from Tuesday's media availability.
