Two toughest games (Illinois/Northwestern) are in Lincoln, and the Husker offense should dominate these defenses.

Offense upside capability.

Wade Williams

I just think the offense is good enough to win those games based on what I have seen from those other teams. Let's face it, the B1G just isn't very good at all so it's no great accomplishment!

Joshua Spencer

just optimism.

Tim Peterson

I have not been overly impressed by the other B10 teams.... Does OSU really frighten anyone? Nebrascal

John Cornett

I'm hoping the bye week and entering Big Ten play with help settle the young defense in a little bit and the offense takes care of business

Keith Petrie

I voted that way because when they run up against adversity they tend to do what is needed at least for the season... maybe not the playoff or the bowl but the season. GBR!

Harold Peterson

offence

Brad Cromer

Bo will fix D.

Jeff Salts Jr.

Because we should be!

RedRush Redalfran

when the going gets tough, BigRed will get tougher!

Michael Peters

If they can make it to the Northwestern game undefeated in BIG 10 play that means they fixed a lot of their problems. if not... they will not win another game after Northwestern. & Bo will be gone.

Mark Plotner

Maybe right on loose the rest of their games, but I still think they will beat Michigan St.

Too many questions...Illinois/Purdue hung with ranked opponents this season, and Minnesota/Northwestern will be battle tested on the schedule.

With our Cosgrove like defense, there's only one way to vote on this!

Ronald D. Bull

Northwestern/Michgan State one of these will win if defense dose not show up.

Shawn Koke

because of the pink skirts

Keith Rayman

uneasy about mental state of team

Scott Dreas

Huskers are too young on defense this year to go undefeated until Michigan game

David Zacharia

Defense has two many holes Offense disappears when game is on the line Adjustments are terrible or non-existence at halftime

Brian Frahm

Too many holes on defense at this point.

Lance Ridpath

NW still too disciplined and mobile for this crew.

Matt Shalberg

Terrible defense and offense can't score points.

Mark Plotner

Like most, I don't think we beat Northwestern. if we do, our D is gonna have to show up at least enough to slow them down. Then it will be how well our Offense actually executes

Phillip Tournor

Our defense is so bad, Illinois wlll run through us, and Northwestern will run us out of memorial stadium. I do think we will loose to Purdue or Minnesota on the road.

Jeff McCauley

As much as it pains me to think it, I suspect Northwestern will rape the Husker defense without pause.

Bart Burroughs

don't trust that Bo can get the defense fixed.

Joshua Howard

We need a Defense to win games.

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.
