In a move that marks a significant shift for the Nebraska football program, coach Matt Rhule has expressed serious doubts about holding a traditional spring game. Citing the implications of the transfer portal and concerns over player poaching, Rhule indicated that the Huskers are likely to abandon the annual Red-White game. Instead, the team may pivot toward a showcase format that allows for player evaluation without the risks associated with a televised competition. As the program navigates the realities of player retention and the upcoming season, Rhule remains focused on offseason improvements and managing the roster amidst concerns over tampering from rival schools.
