I did not want to be negative. Right now we do not know what it will be like next year. I have hopes,

Jody Acree

We will see for sure this year and going forward if his offensive philosophy will work with pro style QB's. This is a wait and see thing. I'm willing to give it a chance.

Many fans liked Tim Beck's offense, with more of a run emphasis, better.

We need a dual threat q-back who can throw or run to get out of the pocket, I do not want to see a 70% passing game.

Visitor

Absolutely not, it will not work at nebraska because it is a low populated cold weather state and NO ONE can load up on 5 star talent tat NU to compete with the other schools in the high populated warm weather areas.. We need to be unique again in what we do and have the entire state supporting it.

Richard Johnson

I prefer the run offense, wear 'em down and win in the 4th quarter. A mobile QB that can pass accurately as well as get out of trouble and run.

Ned Watson

I am unsure that the way Riley seems to be going with the offense is the right way. All of the top teams in the country last year had a dual threat QB and that is for a reason: It's hard to defend 11 guys than just 10. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Mark Danahy

We didn't run the ball effectively with players that can run in 2016. We will be pass oriented in 2017. If we don't get more proficient at the run we are going to be hurting. I don't care if you run the ball 50% of the time, it all fails if you can't get yardage with the run. 3rd & long in 2017.

Guest

I prefer winning!!!

Mr. Harold

Unless you have talent like USC, you need a QB who can run in college football today.

Cooper Bernardi

With our offensive lines of recent years a drop back passing QB will be meat for other teams defenses to eat up

Isaiah Skrdla

Pro style offenses have been solved. Their success relies heavily on a very high level of nationally coveted talent which makes consistency an issue even for teams that have every recruiting advantage. There are other more college friendly schemes that get better results from less talent.

Keith Petrie

I have had problems with the consistency of play calling. I will say I probably will like the first couple of years better than what is coming... I like a mobile QB who can throw the ball on the move and run the option. I like to see a QB who can run play action and go deep. Speed and power! GBR

Brent Matz

Old, slow and predictable. No misdirection. Averages slightly over two plays a minute - one of the slowest in the country. No one is surprise by what we do.

Kurtis Ramsey

I could change my mind after it seeing it ran by a true passing qb but from the little we saw of it, it looks like big 10 defenses already know how to shut it down.

Stephen Johnson

Osborne tried a passing offense in 1973 to 1979. Did not work in the plaines.

Donnie Mahoney

What Osborne and the 70's have to do with it? LOL

Nebraska football generates and insane amount of tax dollars for the state of Nebraska, I would think the state would want to help maintain that cash flow.

Claude Michel

One must think about the revenues that a husker football games bring into the city of Lincoln. Only makes sense that they would help keep the facilities tip-top. CLaude

Thomas Wright

What PJ said !! Whatever it takes to keep big red rolling !! GO BIG RED !!

Chris Thackray

I think it's safe t say the the majority of households in Nebraska support the Football program. Spread equally across the state, I can't imagine that the needed/wanted taxes per household would be that much. I could be wrong. I haven't researched it.

PJ SAid

do people realize how much money football games bring to Lincoln ... no brainer, a great long-term investment for Lincoln and the State of Nebraska !

Seth Hyberger

The building is an economic power house for the state.

Why not. Money gets spent in a lot worser ways.

Worser? You must be a UNL grad.

Scott Dreas

Do like other cities do and charge a tax on hotels and car rentals and let the visitors pay the tax to fund the stadium projects

Rappmaster Dugg

Because I live in Arizona.

Bob Cantin

Huh?

Modern Monetary Policy. Initiative is already approved and people are paid. Our tax.money won't pay either way, unless you want to wait another 100 years.

Revenue by athletic dept should pay for it. First of all, I dont approve of the south end zone change, eliminating seating for the common folk.

Devin Salisbury

The football program is always bragging about how much they bring in. Why should any non fan have to support them?

Our taxes are too high already and it is because they pay for more than just essential services. Like football stadiums.

The Athletic Department turns a huge profit every year. They charge an insane amount of money to see a terrible product on the field. The egos/decisions of administration has already taken enough from the average person. They don't deserve a dime

Chuck Mix

We are overtaxed already. I love NU football, but if it can't pay for itself with current state support to the university, then it shouldn't be so big. We are blessed to have the support for the university football team, leave it to the folks.

Jerry Hedden

dont need to use state moneys for this

Larry Smith

With ever more dismal seasons I would guess that filling the stadium would be a problem. Nebraska fans are great, but there is only an indefinite time before they lose interest with dismal season results.

Michael Graham

How about fix some roads instead.

Robert Lloyd

Absolutely not. This is NOT what our Founding Fathers had in mind, not that they are not turning in their graves with this socialist mess we've gotten ourselves into. I don't play football, I don't/can't go to the games and so this is taxation without representation.

Scott Mateer

The collected taxes should be used to invest in the state of Nebraska's college students to reduce tuition and fees, improve rural health care, and/or invest in things like expanding renewable energy sources. Let the boosters and fans pay for the renovations and upgrades.

Robert Lloyd

Those things you mentioned are NOT what taxes were meant for.

Scott Mateer

Laird Watkins

The University and it's Mega-donors are not in a state of poverty. When the legislature is in attack mode on taxation, let us be prudent.

lawrence versaw

They rake in tons money pay for it yourself

Dan Stephens

That's what the donors are for.

Regan Zeller

There is plenty of private money to take care of this. Just let them name a restroom after a large donor.

Alan Montanye

They sale out every game. They have money. We are taxed to much already. And the price of living is ridiculous.

I believe

Chris Monaco

all 6 teams left on the schedule are beatable.

Gene Eubanks

All of the remaining games are winnable, so I think for sure we can win two of them!

Carter Eveland

if nebraska plays quality football the next three weeks they will go 6-3

Brandon Pierce

Each game we are getting better and our Defense is just as strong as they were the first game. It is only a matter of time for the Offense to open up and showcase all the young talent on the team. Not to mention every team left has struggles with stopping offenses. Our D will shut down their runs.

Robert Lloyd

I'm a Nebraskan

Doug Einsel

3-4 more wins

Steve Stutzman

Team is getting stronger as the year progresses.

Thomas Wright

C'mon...Northwestern / Purdue / Maryland, Iowa ALL @ home = 7 wins !! Right ? We should beat ALL of them, right ? I like Kool-Aid, but Tony White has got our boys heading in the right direction for a nice change, even though we need a pass rusher they've been solid & I believe will get better.

Bob Flanagan

The defense will have to carry us, and the young receivers are gonna have to step up big time. Satterfield may have to think long and hard about throwing to run vs running to throw ... we shall see, but ZI think they'll go at least 6-6 maybe 7-5

Dale Paulsen

We can run the ball!

Richard Stotts

gbr

James Key

We will know more Saturday night. We need to go 3-0 over next 3 weeks. GBR

Don Schendt

Remaining schedule should allow NU to win 3 more games, especially the next 3. NU could even win them all.

Regan Zeller

They have a better attitude now. They know they need to work to win and when something does not go their way they do not put their heads down and think back to last year.

Mark C. Brigham

We will continue to gain confidence as we win!

Agron Leopold

The west is weak and the crossovers look very winnable after seeing Illinois beat Maryland. We will get to 6 and may even be in the hunt in the west

James McDermott

The remaing six games are all winnable

William Snesrud

Because five of the final six games are very winnable

No Passing attack and to many errors.

michael daly

offense is not coming together. injuries and less than stellar coaching on that side. o line and receivers and qb

Jon Petersen

I think they'd be able to get to something like 7-5 if they still had some offensive weapons. But the lack of receivers and backs is going to make it difficult. If they do get to a bowl, it will be due to the defense.
