When we face a team with a good pas s rush, you will see how badly we will miss him

Keith Petrie

You're absolutely right. If your QB can't run... can't roll out... can't execute the option... you're in trouble. Unless you e got an O Line that can protect the QB. We'll see about that!

Jerry Williams

Unless the offensive line is much better I do not know anyone who could scramble and gain time like Tommy when the line collapsed.

Mark Eiserman

Heart & soul of the team. With a senior backing him up. there is no depth behind him.

Joel Rodgers

Great guy, great heart, Great runner, OK passer. We need to be able to throw the ball about 20 times a game and complete 16 of them. Especially down the field. He could throw far but not accurate. The receivers made him look better than he was,

Jon Moore

He was not a good passer.

David MacKay

Tommy has heart and played his butt off for this team. I don't know if there was a better passer while rolling out of the pocket...however he was too inconsistent and was not the QB for Riley's and Langsdorf's system They have their type QB now..put up or shut up!!!

John M. Hodge

With this new offense, He would have been a backup-great character, excellent teammate... just not the right fit for where we are going

Stephen Johnson

Tommy never fit into Riley's offensive plans. He has 4 passing qbs on the team.

Larry Sidders

Consistency! He can lead the team to the big win one week and lose the game with mistakes the next.

Darin Brandt

I believe the Huskers should be a better passing team .Will not have the same big runs that Tommie could produce as a dual threat QB.

Peter Rygol

Like Banker said of him, a heart of a lion and a very good running QB. But a passer, please. Not the best QB IQ and decision making often times left you shaking your head.

Robert Lloyd

He was the worst QB in major college football. We had little chance to win a big game unless he happened to have a good day. Everyone else in college knew he wasn't a QB but hey "Bo Knows"???

Jim Kohout

Tommy had pluses and minuses to his game. We will miss his running ability, but he can be replaced.

Dave Ronnekamp

he was best running the ball..we need a qb that can pass.

Ronald Pfeifer

Tired of his inconsistency.

Paul F Edwards

take his legs away and what do you have? A QB that can't hardly throw. It won't be hard at all...

Jody Acree

I like TA. But he missed critical games for him being so tough. Very, VERY inconsistent. I want a QB who has true toughness like Scott Frost and Eric Crouch. Those guys represent toughness.

Robert Schutt

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Roy Katskee

They are living on borrowed time.

David Weaver

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.
