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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances

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.

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