Matt Rhule has 'old school' plan for Nebraska's trip to Arrowhead Stadium

Matt Rhule is looking to build a tough and gritty football program at Nebraska, and heading into the team's Week 1 clash with Cincinnati on Thursday, he is taking that idea to another level.

The game will be played in Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, and Rhule is planning on taking his team to the game via bus. For him, that's to help mold the personality he wants to see in his team.

“What we believe here is we don’t want things to be easy,” Rhule explained on his new "House Rhules" podcast (h/t On3). “We want to play against great competition and strive and become a better team when we walk out of there. So, it’s gonna be cool. We’re going to bus down.”

Nebraska could, of course, fly, but Rhule is trying to instill toughness into his team. 

His players previously played high school ball, where taking a school bus to the away games was common, so perhaps he's trying to take them back to their roots and remind them that, despite the gravity of this moment and the environment, they're playing the same game they know and love.

“No private jet down there,” Rhule said. “We’re gonna get on a bus. We’re gonna drive down there, the old school way. I just think it’s an excellent start to the season.”

It's just over a three-hour drive from Lincoln, Neb., to Kansas City, Mo., and you can bet the Cornhuskers are going to be locked in the whole time.
