Overall, the offense played well. That being said, Gottula liked what he saw from his teammate, as the Huskers finished the nonconference slate3-0 and Big Ten play looming.
" Yeah, he's different. He's such a good player even for his age, and. That's all credit to him and how he works every single day throughout the week in practice, in the meeting room. He is just a great kid, great dude to be around. "[I'm] honored to be his teammate and block for him. He is just a great dude. "
The running back made history on Saturday night in addition to his stellar performance. Rule is the first freshman running back with multiple 100-yard games in a season since David Horne in 2002. There is no doubt that the running back has something special going at the moment. It will be interesting to see if that continues during conference play.
