It's the coaches job to put the players in the best position to succeed individually and as a team. If there's something Mark Whipple can implement in the middle of the season to help the OL, and score points, he should do that.

Not a full scale strategy change, but play to our strength. Good to see some new player at RT. (Benhart might look good on paper, but his poor game playing stalls a lot of drives)

We have a mobile QB, we need to use that more with designed QB keepers

Not only do I think they should, quick hitters and more run plays, but I think these coaches are on top of it.

Well, as one local sports writer said, when it comes to pass blocking, the OL looks like a bunch of Matadors out there, particularly the right side of the line. Consequently, that's been getting CT killed. He won't hold up all season like that, I don't care how tough he is. We gotta protect him!

Thompson is getting killed. Let him move around. At least if he's getting hit while on the run it won't be flat footed with his arm in the air for a free shot.

Move the pocket around or line up with two running backs in the backfield. This would buy Casey Thompson the time and options he needs to get the offense rolling.

O line is the worst I think I have ever seen, some major adjustments need to be done if they wanna keep making progress, O line is definitely holding us back, to much talent to be only scoring 14 points on Rutgers and I think play calling hasn’t been very impressive. GBR!!!

Go back to the Osborne days ... what did Dr. Tom do ? Why he subbed in players, especially young talent all the time....which is why year after year it seemed as if our entire team had so much experience because T.O. subbed in and played new guys all the time. Give those young ones a try !!!

we cannot expect to continue winning without crease runs...the B1G is too tough and our line is not good enough for that. Get the ball outside on the edge and off tackle. Quit expecting to gash anyone between the guards. Ain't gonna happen with this line.

Only hope with the tougher defenses we will be facing is to do what Purdue does, quick pass plays and rush breaking screens, quick outs, short routes, occasional deep ball shots and maybe throw in some Smothers and the option.

Roll the QB out if the pocket, and run some halfback screens!

Phil Steele has Turner Cochran as the #13 tackle in the nation, and Bryce Benhart as the #34 tackle in the nation. THE NATION!!! It's time to exert our dominance and stop letting the QB, RB, and receivers get in the way of the offensive tackles!

Nebraska is far behind the 8 ball here. If it is measured i anticipate this will help retain more attendance in to the second half. especially if the game is not competative.

First OFF, I love BEER. I know beer was in stadium pre covid, when thermos, etc were allowed. Often folks showed up drunk. BUT it was not a big problem (student section, etc.) But alcohol has gotten me into trouble and expect it to do the at games. Boo - wait til after game.

I'm worried college games will resemble NFL games, with belligerent, vulgar fans everywhere you turn. College games need to remain a family-friendly atmosphere, where parents shouldn't be hesitant to take children.

I"m not looking forward to it. I already have people sitting around me that either come snockered or bring their little bottles of booze and bother us or even opposing fans by making smart remarks to them. It will not make things better. Dennis

Booze seems to make some people speak before they think. I would guess they will have to increase their security guards and purchase more zip tie cuffs.

Yes, it's a financial necessity.

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Yes, I'm OK with it. It was actually Tennessee that would not agree to the home and away series being moved into the future. Nebraska, with the stadium renovation looming, cannot afford to give up the revenue of a home game. It's dollars and cents.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.

I wouldn't use the word cowardly but it's a terrible decision for fans. I believe most fans would forego two guaranteed home wins for the chance to play Tennessee at home and on the road. It's a weak move on the football program's part

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.
