"Matt Rhule's Efforts to Revive Nebraska Football Program"
Nebraska football head coach Matt Rhule is implementing new tackling drills and a classic philosophy to improve the team's tackling. Rhule and new defensive coordinator Tony White teach defenders to strike higher than a rugby tackle, driving ballcarriers backward as they wrap and run through the ballcarrier. The team uses drills to build muscle memory, and Rhule plans to recruit faster defenders than he may currently have. Nebraska will tackle to the ground in Saturday’s scrimmage, and the April 22 spring game should be live.
