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.

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

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
