Man, what a loaded press conference just like last Saturday. Rhule confirmed Zavier Betts' departure (LINK) and gave some very strong opinions of Arik Gilbert's situation (LINK).
In addition to those news items, here are a bunch of other key takeaways from earlier today:
>>> Turning the page on Betts' career at Nebraska, where he was the team's No. 8 all-time recruit in the last 20 years
>>> Updates on Marcus Washington, IGC, Josh Fleeks
>>> The freshmen WR: "They're gonna need to go play"
>>> Scrimmage analysis: The defense is "significantly ahead" of the offense, a negative turnover margin statistic that Rhule says is "unheard of" and addressing turnover issues
>>> Potential WR role for Thomas Fidone? Don't count on it
