Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule met with the media on Saturday morning. The Husker coach discussed the morning scrimmage and the play of specific position groups.
“A lot of the mistakes out there today were with young players. We’re playing a lot of true freshmen. I say that in terms of the creativity part because if they know the base offense and they don’t have the ability yet to absorb that information. Like in the redzone on Wednesday we’re going to put this play in for you. Billy Kemp you could put it in on Saturday, he’s played a lot of football. Some of these guys’ eyes are a little different. The weapons are there, they’re just in the maturing process mentally as much as physically. We have enough good players to win.”
The Husker head coach confirmed that the team ran 128 plays total on Saturday. Nebraska’s coaches will meet with the media next on Tuesday, August 13.
Scroll down to find comments from Matt Rhule regarding the offense’s creativity, the development of the quarterback position, and the depth of the running back room.
On the development of the quarterbacks
“There was a couple turnovers in areas I would not like to see them. Other than that, the ball was moved, the passes were thrown and caught. I was happy with it. It’s not the level it’s gonna be. The biggest thing I’m looking for from the quarterbacks is what things look like when things are going wrong. If you’re a true freshman quarterback, if you’re Danny (Kaelin) or Dylan (Raiola), you haven’t had a lot of things go wrong yet.
