So, picture this: Nebraska. Yeah, kind of in the middle of nowhere, right? That’s where Matt Rhule steps in, doing his usual “let’s shake things up” routine. Guy’s got a knack for building things from scratch. This latest move? Totally out there.
So Friday rolls up and he teams up with adidas (because why not). Tossed together this 7-on-7 football thing. Sort of like a “Battle at the Boneyard.” No kidding. All these hotshot players from Florida, Texas, Georgia, California — the works — show up in Lincoln for a showdown of sorts.
By some miracle, or maybe just Rhule magic, around, what? Two dozen top-notch recruits were wandering around campus. Probably more, but hey, numbers aren’t my strong suit. We’ll hear about even more of them soon, once rankings for future recruits get tossed around.
Pat Stewart, Nebraska’s head honcho, said, “We would have never got these kids here.” And let’s face it, he’s got a point. Nebraska’s smack-dab in the middle of fields or something, and getting talent here is no small feat. That’s why Rhule went all creative, you know? This event got heads turning.
Here’s a question: Are other schools gonna jump on this bandwagon next year? Probably, just going by all the chatter among the folks who know a thing or two. Nebraska was the trendsetter here. And these 7-on-7 coaches? Already making plans, jotting it down in their calendars.
And who snatched the trophy? RAW from Miami. Beat Team TOA while about 500 folks sat there in Memorial Stadium, probably shivering or sweating — not sure about Nebraska weather, honestly.
Anyway — oh wait — what was I saying? Yeah, 247Sports has the scoop if you’re into stats and all that jazz.
