Nebraska has not been all that good in the last few years. They have struggled with rosters and head coaches that could not bring success to the program. In what will be the second season under Matt Rhule, there is hope that he will be able to pull something together.

With the Cornhuskers finally starting to get their feet under them, but in the spring window, they didn't bring in any players. The good news is that they only lost two players which is good because in the past it did not seem like they could keep players around.

Can Nebraska become the program that it once was? They probably need more time before they look like the Cronhuskers of old, but they are moving in the right direction.
