They were close in 2016, and we have up graded in many areas.

With a new QB and new emphasis on offense, and a new D.C. And new scheme on defense, there is too much that is new to expect the team to play like veterans. They will need time to adjust. I would expect a lot more in 2018.

Jeff Morton

No but funny! We need to beat average teams before we worry about championships.

Randy denton

New D.C., lack of offensive line depth and a new QB plus a tough schedule = 8/9 wins. I'll take it

Peter William Letheby

We're not there yet -- Penn State and Minnesota on the road are two likely losses, and the home schedule is brutal.

Kris Stoa

not enough speed...yet

Chris Phillips

New passing type QB, O-Line that will get our non-running type QB sacked, losing our top receivers to graduation, implementing a new defensive scheme and losing our top Safety, and to top it off a very tough schedule. 6-6 or 7-5 next year.

David King

really 4-8 HCMR has had no success in college what makes you think he will here let alone next yr. two things we need dual threat QB and run the ball neither will happen we could not block this yr. what makes you think it will be better next with just a passer and no threat to run ?????

Gary Michael

The curse of Solich continues! Dumbest move ever, firing him!!

Dave Ronnekamp

Looks like we are rebuilding again. Don't see us doing any better than 3rd in the west. That's where we are these days. A little better than Minnesota, not as good as Iowa...

John Ross Clark

New QB and a new defense. Going to take superlative talent for that to happen, so unlikely.

There are 10 other players on the offense.

Robert Lloyd

Let Emmitt and TJ run and run and run and we'll have a victory.

James Smith

Home field advantage in front of family and friends. He will relive his high school glory HUSKERS 27 ucla 24

Mark

Die hard husker

Heart My Doghead

Mr L is from Socal, therefore highly motivated to excel...Huskers by 15

jerry williams

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances
