Bryce Benhart: Matt Rhule has “not just my back, but the whole team’s back”
Bryce Benhart has the most career starts of everyone in NU's O-line room. Matt Rhule wants him to be confident.
In a recent interview with Huskers Radio Network, Benhart said he appreciates the vocal support he and others have received from Rhule. It’s a change from previous seasons.
As the offensive line goes, so goes the entire offense. That’s an old football saying, but it’s one that tends to be true. Nebraska returns a veteran group up front, but it’s one that has its questions.
>> Can Teddy Prochazka stay healthy and lock down that left tackle spot? Ultimately, he's still an unknown who's only played in eight career games. He hasn't finished a season since his senior year in high school.
>> Can center Ben Scott make a seamless transition from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten?
>> What kind of rust will guard Nouredin Nouili have to knock off after not playing in a game since Nov. 26, 2021?
>> Can Ethan Piper find his way into the starting lineup at guard?
>> What about the depth at tackle? If Turner Corcoran wins a starting guard job, he can bump outside to play tackle if needed. But beyond Corcoran, who else can play tackle at the caliber needed in the Big Ten? Maybe Utah transfer Tyler Knaak or early-enrollee true freshman Gunnar Gottula? Neither have played in a college football game before.
>> What kind of progress has Georgia transfer Jacob Hood made in his conditioning? He's viewed as a project more than an immediate-impact addition.
Lots of questions that won’t be answered until late August, when the Huskers travel to Minneapolis for a Thursday night showdown against PJ Fleck and Minnesota. In the meantime, Rhule will be in the ears of his offensive linemen, telling them they’re in this thing together.
I wonder if Rhule will have opening remarks and a crisp tie?
Will he have a big wad of chewing tobacco in his lip?
Rhule and Trev present a level of professionalism and class that Frost and Moos were not hardwired to accomplish.
But I bet they were a hit at the bar afterwards.
I dunno - will be interesting to see whether he shows up as the CEO in charge, or the ole ball coach. I expect the CEO look.
I'm guessing the CEO look as well. I don't think we will hear any bluster just "We view this season as a challenge as well as an opportunity." At least I hope that's the way it plays out.I dunno - will be interesting to see whether he shows up as the CEO in charge, or the ole ball coach. I expect the CEO look.
I’m sure it will be well thought out and very professional. Breath of fresh air for Husker fans.
Four B1G teams in the bottom 10 easiest schedules
I will say it forever - 9 conference games in this shit league is a gift
Basically if you are not playing OSU or Michigan, you have it made.
Imagine getting to play
NW
Indiana
Purdue
Illinois
Minny
MD
Rutgers
Iowa
Wisconsin
Even a lame NU team is favored in half those games and when they are a dog it is less than 9.
Chief would have been great at B1G media days also
Still better than an extra non conference game against a MAC or a Sunbelt team.
Better as in easier?
If so, I agree
Better as in more interesting/entertaining?
Couldn’t be more wrong
Nobody in their right mind wants to see indiana/Rutgers/northwestern - all historically bottom 20 FBS programs in the country
Better as in more entertaining. We only beat Rutgers by 1 point last year and squeaked by Indiana last year too. Lost the game against Northwestern, so I would say more exciting than blowing out some MAC team 50-0.
Since 2017 we are 2-1 vs the MAC
Much worse winning % than vs indiana/Rutgers/nw, which also saw our largest margin of victory (56-7 vs nw)
Facts > feelings
MAC also represent young up and coming coaches instead of mummies who promote naked dude stuff/set college football back decades

Beat Buffalo 28-3 two years ago. Okay, not 50-0 but not exactly a close game either.
56-7 vs nw was close?
Just stop. Your feelings have no quarter here in the land of fact.
