RHULE – TOMMI HILL IS DYNAMIC, EXPLOSIVE:

One of Nebraska Football’s most dynamic players is receiver/corner combo Tommi Hill, according to head coach Matt Rhule. Rhule stated Monday that he thinks Hill is a difference maker on both sides of the ball…

Haarberg is 2-0 as a starter having committed two turnovers in fumbles lost, but also rumbled for over 150 rushing yards last week leading Nebraska in yardage the past two weeks.
