MATT RHULE GETS HONEST ABOUT NEBRASKA'S QUARTERBACK COMPETITION

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are looking to reclaim their position atop the college football landscape, and the first aspect of team building is often the quarterback position.

Each team that competes for or wins the national championship needs a quarterback to make the necessary plays to win, and Rhule knows how important it is to find the right player for the job.

With that in mind, the Nebraska head coach isn't putting a hard deadline on when the competition needs to be settled.

“I think the one thing that I’ve had outsiders come in and visit us and just watch us, they’ve said … your three quarterbacks really like each other. 

So I think if you have a bunch of guys who respect each other, the competition continues to bring out the best in everybody," Rhule said in an interview with HuskerOnline Headlines.

Rhule said that, ideally, he would like to have the competition settled before the first game of the season against UTEP.

"What I don’t want to do is name someone the starter and then have second thoughts a couple weeks later. 

It’s like I tell guys in recruiting – take all your visits if you have to because when you commit to us, we want you here for four years, not just four weeks," the head coach said.

"It’s the same thing with this. We’ll let them play it out and let them show off all the work they did this summer and see where we are.”

Many fans want top rated freshman Dylan Raiola to start, but he'll have to earn it with Heinrich Haarberg and Daniel Kaelin also vying for the job.
