Rhule and the whole staff has been preaching physical violent contact for a long time now. They've been trying to prepare these guys to be physical through different measures.
Those players are playing physical, and it's nothing more than preparing them for a physical game.
I'm chasing my tail in my explanation, but its no different that TO, physical was the name of his game. Hit 'em every snap,, snap after snap, and eventually wear them down by being relentless.
I think after NU has been "soft", a so-called "finesse/trick 'em team" for several years, its just a matter of changing their perception of themselves. Frost's teams were soft and they played soft, so when the shit got deep, they folded.
First physically and then mentally..
I personally don't have a problem with that approach. Deep down, I think think Rhule feels this team wins the game unless they beat themselves.
Let's not forget Rhule earned his degree with a Master's in Educational Psychology.
Osborne had a long-time Master's in Educational Psychology before he received his Doctorate in that same discipline.
A large reason Rhule is always talking about how NU has to earn the respect to be confident heading into the season.
His teaching is nothing more than a systematic approach to developing confidence through earned respect, not fear.
Tom always talked about not having his team(s) get too high, because that emotion is so closely tied to fear.
Great reference!It’s fear leads to anger and anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering
Would love to see him break a couple of big runs against his home state school.
We’ll need 4 backs at a minimum this year.

A few weeks ago I decided I liked Johnson over Ervin. Grant is the clear cut #1 talent, Johnson has improved a lotttt as a creative runner over his freshman year and I think he should be number 2. Gabe is a hard worker and looks really imposing he just needs to show me more before I’d put him #2. He needs to be more creative or start plowing over more defenders.During the Yant bandwagon, during the Grant bandwagon and during the Allen bandwagon I was shouting about R. Johnson. When the dude was not hurt he was smashing it doing everything asked of him and doing it well. Jeez I hope he straight blows up this season. (Huge fan of Gabe so no shade at him or anyone else.)
Most on this board have a huge boner for Ervin, he looks the part but hasn’t shown me anything yet that shows he is going to be an above average back, Grant has the vision but needs to trust his blockers this year.A few weeks ago I decided I liked Johnson over Ervin.

They all need to actually GET better blocking but yes, Grant and Johnson have the vision. Ervin hasn’t shown that or enough quickness in tight space.Most on this board have a huge boner for Ervin, he looks the part but hasn’t shown me anything yet that shows he is going to be an above average back, Grant has the vision but needs to trust his blockers this year.
As I said prior until I see it on gameday these are my backs in order:They all need to actually GET better blocking but yes, Grant and Johnson have the vision. Ervin hasn’t shown that or enough quickness in tight space.
I was going to say the same thing. And yes, I see much better blocking this year with the line, TE, and, of course, the FB!!!They all need to actually GET better blocking but yes, Grant and Johnson have the vision. Ervin hasn’t shown that or enough quickness in tight space.
Easy to see how he might not have trusted his blockers last year 😛Grant has the vision but needs to trust his blockers this year.
Wow amateur. They should be relegated back to the PAC west or whatever the hell little league is forming there
They have their instagram handles on their jerseys?
Hey now. That's free advertising to try and target the 3 fans that care about CU football.They have their instagram handles on their jerseys?![]()
Jesus, takes some pride in your appearance Nebraska media
Just be glad Sipple and Sam put on pants.Jesus, takes some pride in your appearance Nebraska media
Yup, this is where you really need enough depth to be able to give those guys a breather during games.Sharp gave his top 7 DL - Gunnerson, Hutmacher, Robinson (starters), with Jeudy, Princewill, Cam and Buckley in reserve.
Can't spell Prime without "me"!They have their instagram handles on their jerseys?![]()

Just don’t show a picture from another country and you should be ok.You better watch your mouth.. HBK will get you booted 🤣
I have it on good authority that the grounds crew is not taking very good care of the new grass. Players are not getting hurt. They are getting lost. You heard it here first.Grass fields look to be in bad shape
