Huskers are all smiles as Matt Rhule hire is paying off

Nebraska is cool again.

After more than a decade of struggles, disappointments and strife, the Huskers are off to a 2-0 start with convincing wins over UTEP and Colorado and on Saturday night, Lincoln was the center of the college football universe.

A nationally televised game in which the Huskers absolutely worked Colorado, especially early on, to jump out to an early lead. Boxing champ and Omaha native Bud Crawford leading the Huskers out of the tunnel with a Nebraska-emblazoned championship belt over his shoulder.

And, most importantly, recruits from all over the country soaking it all in.
