Matt Seiler

It would depend on the situation but if the entire defense knows it's a running play, Rozier might have a better chance of picking up tough yards. If you need 100 yards on one play I might go with Gre

Matt Arnold

One of the vest RB of all time. Nuff siad

Jerry Borchman

power. and the ability to beat down the defense. late in the game, defenders flinched when Rozier ran their way.

ToddandWendi Kroll

Best running back in NU history

Layton Hein

Heisman trophy stud.

Chris Gardner

Best ever. (But if he was hurt, I would run option to Jeff Smith.. 84' Orange Bowl...)

Jet X

Bruiser. Best ever.

Perry Haddix

I don’t think he ever fumbled? Always went forward, So for 3-5 yds., Rozier! for a home run sweep Green

jerry williams

He was great!

Lyle Martin

Tougher runner

huskerdenton@yahoo.com

One tough dude

Robert Lloyd

Mike Rozier was the biggest winner of a running back you would ever want. Tough as nails. Both runners were great, but the edge will go to Rozier with me.

Mas Shara

Both are husker greats - mike has a slight edge based on his ability to improvise should things breakdown

Thomas Williams

He was an absolute bull and hard as hell to bring down and always got yards that were needed

Michelle Gutschenritter

Would of crushed all records of every category rushing in 83 if allowed to play all the game. Was pulled at half of many games cuz they were total blowouts. I’ve never seen anyone like him

Chuck Bolder

Mike was a better bruiser and for this situation it is needed!

Joe Dreyer

I think he was a tougher and more dynamic rusher, from what I could hear on the radio. i watched Green, so it's a little different. i think the stats speak for themselves.

Steve “S85” T

Ahman was great and who knows what he would've done his senior year but I think Rozier is who I would give the ball to.

Doug Clark

I was at the UCLA game and his rune is still one of the greats in Husker lore. Green was great, but Rozier was A++ in college.

Green won the big one.

jeff engel

His ability to make a positive play when the play brakes down

X8player slayer8X

I am a millennial who never saw either of these guys and who doesn't get football. However this guy has "green" in his name so I voted for him. Go America!

Doug Miller

Rozier's offensive line should have won the Heisman. Rozier was a great running back, but Green was tougher.

Dennis Brown

Green could catch so in this day and age he gets my nod.

Randy Petersen

Played big in NC game

Don Buckingham

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

klirvine@bresnan.net

we need an offence

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
