Nebraska wrapped up spring football earlier than most programs—and did so with very little noise. That silence felt intentional. After a frustrating end to last season, Matt Rhule and his staff approached the spring with a methodical, workmanlike mindset.
There was no hype train, no bold proclamations—just quiet evaluation. But reading between the lines, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: Nebraska still isn’t satisfied with where its defensive line stands. And that’s a concern.
