WATCH: Final press conference before Las Vegas Bowl feat. Matt Rhule, Ceyair Wright + Utah coach Morgan Scalley, QB Devon Dampier

Matt Rhule and the Nebraska football program are gearing up for another pivotal offseason.

The Huskers, who finished their campaign two games above .500 (4-5 in the Big Ten) with a 7-5 overall record, lost a ton of the momentum they had gained after a 6-2 start. Now, both Rhule and the Huskers will be seeking answers to some significant questions with staff changes and roster turnover ahead.

That offseason of change officially kicked off with the dismissal of John Butler as the Huskers’ defensive coordinator after just one year as the full-time DC. An offseason absolutely loaded with more news continued with the firing of offensive line coach Donovan Raiola, the hiring of new OL coach Geep Wade and the hiring of new DC Rob Aurich, plus the firing of defensive line coach Terry Bradden after one season with the program and, of course, the impending transfer of starting quarterback Dylan Raiola.

But next up, to essentially kick off the offseason, is a bowl game matchup against No. 15 Utah (10-2) and new head coach Morgan Scalley, who takes over for Kyle Whittingham – the longtime Utes head coach who stepped down from the program and then, in a rather shocking turn of events, agreed to terms with Michigan to become the Wolverines’ new head coach.

Nebraska held its latest media availability out in Las Vegas on Tuesday to preview that matchup with Utah, what lies ahead both in the bowl game matchup and in the aftermath during the offseason, and they discussed plenty more.

This time, it was a joint press conference being held between the Huskers and Utes as Rhule took the stage alongside cornerback Ceyair Wright and offensive lineman Henry Lutovsky. Opposite the head coach and two player representatives on the Utah side were Scalley, Utes starting quarterback Devon Dampier and linebacker Lander Barton.

Tuesday’s press conference video is also available to watch for free on the Inside Nebraska YouTube channel – in addition to all of Inside Nebraska’s presser videos throughout the week out here in Las Vegas.
