Rece Davis and Pete Thamel sit down with Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule to discuss how his NFL experience, paired with his time at Temple and Baylor, will help him revive Cornhuskers football, why Rhule rooted for defensive coordinator Tony White to get the UCLA head coach job, and what in the world a Runza is. Then, Rece and Pete get into what it's been like working with former Alabama head coach Nick Saban since he joined ESPN, how Pat McAfee has been able to bring Saban's personality out front and center and how sure they are that Alabama fans are totally patient, pragmatic and calm following Saban's retirement and not at all worried that Ryan Grubb is going to the Seahawks.
