The funeral for Nebraska football's spring game last year turned out to be premature. Last spring, it felt as though every school would eventually move away from having such an event. However, with the announcement that the Huskers are bringing theirs back, the sport is doing a 180.
During his appearance on Sports Nightly on Friday, head coach Matt Rhule made it clear NU will have a more traditional spring game this year. However, there is a change as it will be earlier than usual. It's more of a winter game this season.
"I want us to see where our team’s at," Rhule said.
