The Huskers have been major players in the recruiting world since Rhule's arrival, nearly landing the No. 1 player in the country in Dylan Raiola. Raiola would eventually commit to Georgia, but Nebraska has been able to bring in several talented recruits.

"#GBR," Rhule tweeted on Saturday evening, along with a shrug emoji and a fire emoji. GBR stands for "Go Big Red," a longtime Nebraska chant among fans.

Rhule has been successful in recruiting, but he's got his work cut out for him in the Big Ten when it comes to making it work on the field.
