The passing game opens up the running game. It forces the linebackers into coverage which then opens up the running game. You have to have a balanced attack.

I agree with the other guy. We would not have nearly as much success with the running game if there was no passing game. I O line is not powerful enough to just bull doze everyone in the box if there were no Passing game.

We controlled the line of scrimmage and physically imposed our will. We set the tone early and often that we WERE going to run the ball. The passing game was enough to keep them honest and provide good balance, but it was the run game that allowed us to control the tempo, and ultimately the outcome.

With as good as the passing game is now under our new staff, with the running game as good as it showed Saturday, assuming they can do the same to higher level competition, we can be sneaky good this season. But we HAVE to tighten up the pass defense. The D line REALLY needs to step up too.

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Nebraska has to prove it is not the same old story…until they do by definition it is.

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

Need to come up with an offensive that fits the talent we have but doubt that will happen.

I feel it ease worries a LITTLE bit. I think he has already talked to his friend Pat, AD at Penn State, and was told that Penn State Alumni want someone more proven than Rhule. So, Rhule is way down the list.
