I believe we will win against NW, Rutgers, Purdue, and Iowa...and finish regular season at 6-6.

Dr. Steve Blad, Ph.D

I think we lose 2 but no more. This team is way better than their record shows. I think they lose to MSU but every other game is winnable. If NU beats Minnesota I think you will see a major turn.

Michael Ervin

Beat 3 beatable teams and NW looks vulnerable

Lanny Finkey

No Doubt! Just need 1 confidence building win. Watch out Minnesota!

Cole N Heather Burns

Ball bounces a different way for us and we are .500 right now we can get 4 of the next 6.

Unless the coaching decisions improve, there will be no bowl game. Eichorst, you SUCK! There were much better coaches out there and you just had to hire a coach with losing records!

Garret Shaw

Bingo!!! Past behavior predicts future behavior. Coaching decisions are a behavior. Poor decisions before, poor decisions now, poor decisions forever. Same can be said of Eichorst.

T David Andrew M

Look at the schedule, there are at least 3 teams that handle us easily and the other 3 could do it as well since we don't know how to manage the 4th quarter.

Todd Bernhardt

Riley doesn't have the desire

Garret Shaw

NOTHING leads me to believe this team is improving.

Geoff Johnson

Going to go 0-4 or 1-3 vs. Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern and Iowa.

i don't see four more wins possible with this coaching staff with all the experience they are making way to many 1st year mistakes

Jeff Green

we can't finish games.

Randy Wolf

Four more wins. Probably will beat Rutgers. It will take luck to beat the Gophers. After that there is no chance. Possibly Perdue but I doubt it.

Arlie Rauch

A team that cannot pick up a yard at will most of the time is not a championship team.

Kent A. Lang

Probably not but the Pinstripe Bowl would be cool!

Brian Lake

Huskers haven't shown the ability to close out a game.

Sean Fluharty

At this point, does it really matter?

Doug Shonka

Do the math.

Thomas Green

I don't think there enough wins out there. Maybe Purdue and Rutgers but that only makes 4 wins this year. Wait until next year.

John Lind

as much as it hurts to say this, but, unless they can figure out how to finish a game, i don't believe my huskers will even win 2 more games this season, so, Mike Riley will now have an even worse record than Callahan...so sad, the days of the huskers dominance are over until we find a coach.....

Ronald D. Bull

I sorry to say this but NW is a challenge at best it will 40% to win. R is away game and we have not played well in those games. Iowa is just a better team unless something happens their QB they will win. Even Minn. will give us a lost. Unless we get our defense back and our QB back we will loss.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
