Nebraska trolls EA Sports over video game rendering of Matt Rhule

Nebraska decided to get a few words in after EA Sports teased the latest updates to the popular College Football 26 video game.
Recently, EA Sports has been dropping multiple “deep dive” segments into the latest features for the new version of the College Football franchise, which is set to debut in July. On Tuesday, the company provided some background on the new features of dynasty & team building, and updated images of the head coaches and players to be featured in the game were included.
Matt Rhule was a part of those updates, though not necessarily in a good way. Even for a stocky individual, the rendering of the head coach at Nebraska made Rhule appear overweight. The face was also a far cry from anything resembling Rhule’s likeness.
Naturally, the Huskers decided to have a bit of fun with it, reminding everyone what the head coach really looks like. Take a look:
Admittedly, the game is still going through its final edits, and it’s likely they will adjust Rhule’s overall look before gameplay is finalized. For now, it’s a bit of humor as fans prepare to embark on another chapter of the popular game.
The release date is set for July 10, though fans can obtain early access on July 7.
