I think they almost have to. I think the offense will be more consistent this year and that would mean at least the same number of yards and not all of those yards can come from passing.
Pretty low bar to have all running backs get over 80 yards per game. It’s telling on the state of the program that this is even a question.
With that said, I think Rhule has the program aimed in the right direction and offseason improvements should provide surprises for the naysayers.
Based on last year one would expect 1599 plus. We are far better off now;
- Kept our coach and have a run coordinator… 2 offensive line coaches.
- Portal additions.
- Potential all-American center.
- Lots of young talent to alternate in on O-line
- Very good TE’s
- Runnng backs are taking big ph
No way Dana Holgorsen is gonna let that happen. Nebraska could be running wild on a drive and he's going to insist on putting the ball in the air. Rhule loves his analytics too much to run the ball a lot. 3rd and 2 is a passing down way too often these days. Fourth and less than 1? Shotgun formation
