2700 yards last year makes 3000 seem pretty attainable. I also think that the proposed run first offense paired with an emphasis on play action passes will offer more open targets. Run first offenses win championships!!! Look it up. Ultimately his destiny lies in the hands of the offensive line.

Brian Wallace

Yes, but they have to use everyone. The backs, receivers, and tight ends.

Michael McKain

Why not?! He has the talent and now the coaching.

Stephen Johnson

He may get to 3,$20001 yards but will still only win 5 games this year.

Robert Hutsell

Nearly 2700 yards under a so so quarterback's coach, so 3100 yards w a really good quarterback's coach is very possible.

David MacKay

Tommy throws one of the best deep balls ever...if he can just nail down the short and intermediate passes he has a chance for 3000++++++

Jim Jones

For the reasons stated by Athons...He wasn't too far off last year and it isnt that high of a number in this era. He definitely has the talent.

bjb1959

with a caveat. he will need to get much better at short and medium range passes and make better decisions with his check downs. his deep ball is already pretty good. if he does that, and I think he puts in the extra work to do so and with an actual quarterbacks coach helping I think he gets it done.

He's not going to start the entire year.

steve ruhd

Not a very good poll question, its not even a certain that he will be a starter. Knowing football and the current college landscape, I would say there is a better than 35% chance he does not start every game

Ronald D. Bull

I agree with the first two, he will not be able to stay in the pocket with rush. the BYU and Mimai GAMES WILL BE HIS DOWN FALL IF NOT JUST BYU.

Billie Mann

Weather, too big a factor in Big 10

Shelly Baker

Tommy cant throw a short or intermeidiate pass to save his life.

Gene Baker

He can't throw a short pass and an out to save his life. He just can't find the open receiver.

Bill Lee

Armstrong is nothing more than a bandaid to control the bleeding until Riley gets his players installed

There are 10 other players on the offense.

Robert Lloyd

Let Emmitt and TJ run and run and run and we'll have a victory.

James Smith

Home field advantage in front of family and friends. He will relive his high school glory HUSKERS 27 ucla 24

Die hard husker

Heart My Doghead

Mr L is from Socal, therefore highly motivated to excel...Huskers by 15

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances
