55 pts given up to Purdue...seriously?

Dan Cubrich

55 points is not only embarrassing, but it's disgustingly incompetent defensive coaching also. Of course the decision to have a second string QB pass for 48 times is quite incompetent also! WOW!!!

Mark Plotner

Thought it would be more than that

Thomas Green

I expect a blowout. Huskers are down and MSU is really tough.

T David Andrew M

The Defensive Coordinator has demonstrated that time and again he can not coach his defense effectively, the score will reflect this in this weeks loss.

James Traut

MSU by 3-4 TDs... Armstrong playing injured.

Dan Cubrich

Believe it or not, since Fyfe has some experience now, if TA gets reinjured and Fyfe doesn't throw picks, Nebraska may have a better chance to win with him in there because of his more accurate short passes.

Andy Fields

because of Nebraska's defense

Valerie Gilmore

that just tells you the MSU is fools gold

Jeff Green

Sparty must have some injuries or vegas thinks there over rated by a lot

Garret Shaw

Nebraska players are emotionally dead, and don't apparently believe in the system. I expect an epoch beatdown in the old gray lady.

Randy Denniston

Should be about 25.

Dan Cubrich

When I first saw the small point spread, I wondered if Vegas was throwing a sucker bet our way. If Nebraska doesn't turn the ball over and some ancient aliens go to Lincoln to help Riley and Banker, Nebraska may have a chance to win then!

JWQ

I thought it would be wider

John Hofstetter

I thought they would be double digit favorites. C'mon Huskers lets ruin it for them

Connor Cook should be able to throw 12 touchdowns on the Nebraska unless they feel sorry for us.

T David Andrew M

If they feel sorry for us, they should score as many points as possible and help make the strongest case ever to get Banker out of UNL.

Peter Rygol

I figured at least a two touchdown spread

Tim Snider

People think NU is a wounded team, making them more dangerous, but from what I've seen, the moral of this team is beyond wounded. It looks as though you have a split team without unity.

Nothing gets me to excited anymore this season.

Tim Lowe

Listen, there are a lot things in the works her for the Big Red. But, I do not believe for a minute they are a 3-6 team.

Bob Flouis

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.
