Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Matt Rhule and Deion Sanders comparisons, more

It's no secret at this point that Nebraska Cornhuskers Football coach Matt Rhule and Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders do things differently. However, it was made clear yet again this week when the transfer portal opened.

While the Huskers did lose two guys to the portal right away, Nebraska isn't expected to lose any more. Meanwhile, Colorado could lose more than a dozen. Some of those guys they just added to the roster this winter.

Colorado has been very active in the portal since Deion Sanders arrived. Nebraska has added here and there, but the Cornhuskers have been recruiting high school kids far more frequently.

USA Today's Brent Schrotenboer recently wrote a piece about how the two coaches, who were hired the same year, hence why they keep getting tied together, wrote a piece about how different the two men are.

Sanders famously said that he doesn't like making in-home visits. Rhule is all about them. The piece overrall is yet another interesting look at the contrasting philosophies. So far neither has worked in a tangible way.

Nebraska was 5-7 last year, including a loss to Colorado. The Buffs were 4-8 despite that win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Both coaches are looking for much better second seasons. And they'll face off against one another again in Lincoln this fall.
