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!

Because know the Huskers have a true chance to win now that Utah doesn't have they're coach.

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!

I would say it gives Nebraska a BETTER chance for a bowl win… I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it gives Nebraska a GOOD chance for a bowl win. 🙄

The Utes could have Ernest P. Worrell coaching them and they'd still throttle us.

If our D can’t stop the run Barney Fife could be Utah’ coach and they will win.

His replacement has been around the program since he played there under Whittingham. The transition will be smooth.

I think the only altered mindset might be the Utes will be angry and looking to show Whittingham they are as good without him as they were under him

Dump it into RBs and O-line and let TJ run wild.
