I dont think its a must too average over 500yd /gm. Losing 4 games by 17 points isnt too far from being 9-3.

No, not a chance. But if they are able to manage it from time-to-time, this plodding defense will give up 700.

I'll happily be proven wrong, but that's a lot of yards for one game, let alone averaging it over a season in the Big Ten.

With the defenses we're about to face? Not a chance.

Without a solid and outstanding running game, I just don't see it. Ohio St and Wisconsin can do it because they look like the Huskers of old. We haven't learned from our own past teams.

Too many unknowns. I think 400 is doable but we don't know yet if we Manning is healthy or if we have other solid options outside of Robinson. Also will 2AM be effective and is there a good #2 RB?

Ohio State’s defense will hold NU considerably short of 500 yards— a rough start of the season that will linger longer than one game psychologically.

Do you see Omar Manning beating JD Spielman's 49 catches for 898 yards in 2019?

I'll reserve judgment until we've seen him consistently come down with catches in traffic over the course of a season. A JD in hand is better than 2 Omar's in the bush.

No clue yet - he's got all the measurements but has yet to be healthy until now. I think key will be can he stay healthy and can he play through minor injuries.

Do you think Husker football has a culture issue that needs to be fixed before success happens?

Columbo would approach the offense and say "One more thing" Clearly the culture problems are on the offense. Defense is improving, how about the offense? Who is transferring after being important players now or the near future? How many offensive players came back for the bonus year? Defense? Hmmm

12-20. We are squarely in "until it shows up on the field, it isn't fixed" territory. I am not holding my breath. The problems this team has on the field are largely because the HC doesn't know how to HC.

If you're not concerned, you need to slow down on the kool-aid.

I think Coach Frost has done a good job off pealing off all the duct tape and cleaning up the off-field and locker room cancer. The wins come once the culture and buy-in is accepted and expected by everyone.

Kids are different today. some with superiority complexes before they have achievement. Thus, a much harder group to coach. Unless Scott goes back to Nebraska Brawn (Linemen), power running (with current offensive scheme), we'll have trouble, and skill players will go elsewhere.

Football success is complicated (- making Devaney/Osborne/Solich era an exceptional achievement!). Culture affects everything - it is both tangible (behaviors) and intangible (norms). Norms strongly influence behavior, ergo, a healthy obsession with excellence MUST be the norm- I don't see this???

Winning solves a lot of things. Most likely every team has issues. Students aren't as intense as they were years ago. Too many distractions to expect 100% buy-in. Senior leadership must get better. What of the culture of the coaches? HCSF, please stop referring to them as 'kids' all the time.

Winning breeds winning... this seems like a very 2021 question...

No one likes to lose. A winning culture comes from actually winning. It is a lot easier to get up for those early lifting sessions when you see the results on the field. It is a lot easier to get ready for that tough game against a tough opponent when you think you can beat them.

Scott Ferguson

Instant gratification and lack there of is the major problem. A lot of dead weight has been cut from the team by personal choice or the coaches choice. The vote to not play in the bowl game said a lot about the past culture. Most of those "leaders" are gone. Lets see how this year plays out.

Don Lutrell

These issues are so overblown, the transfers hurt but can be understood, foregoing the bowl game made sense, what does a bowl game do for the team when it's a fly in, fly out situation. The proposed cancellation of the Okla. was a mistake but far overblown.
