“This is probably one of the most talented quarterback rooms that we're going to see.” That’s what the Big Ten Network’s Howard GriffithWith so many story lines and so much anticipation in the run-up to the season, it might have been easy to miss, but that is an absolutely incredible statement when you think about Nebraska’s offense – and quarterback play in particular – during the 2023 season.
Staring down the barrel of a quarterback room with only one returning experienced player, there was quite a bit of offseason hand wringing about what Nebraska was going to do at the position going into the 2024 season. As most Husker fans know at this point, Matt Rhule went to work, and he didn’t disappoint. The story of the offseason, of course, was landing the 5 star, all world Husker legacy Dylan Raiola.
Until Howard Griffith’s comment, though, I’m not sure I realized just how impressive of a feat it was that the Nebraska coaching staff pulled off. After subpar performances in 2023, and with only one guy on the roster who has taken a snap as a Nebraska quarterback, Coach Rhule and his team went out and drastically upgraded the position with one 5-star QB, one 4-star QB, and a guy who was the best player in the entire NAIA.
With game one just days away, many Husker fans’ belief in Matt Rhule and hope for the future of the program is as high as ever. The quarterback situation is a great example of why.T.J.
