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.

Not so much, too many inconsistencies to rely on. Photo credit: Heavy

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.

I have been waiting 30+ years for this, All Red looks Bad Ass!!! GBR!!

Thomas Wright

“ GO BIG RED “ 🏈 ❗️

Steve Sorensen

Because they look awesome!

Kit Goodwin

We are Big Red!

Christopher Benson

Change is good.

James Schneider

Red baby Red!

Bob Crisler

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

PJ SAid

Why the Hell Not? God Bless everyone. Lets enjoy the game, get our minds off what is happening in the world. GBR

Kevin Ruppert

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Joe Putjenter

If that's what the kids wanted, I'm cool with it. I don't like it myself

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Joe Nigro

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Joe Hegarty

We love the Red & White

Roy Bishop

Alternates only for night games.

Roger Moellendorf

NU always loses when they wear all red or all black.

huskerdenton@yahoo.com

Why?

Danny Brown

It's too much, we look like popsicles

McV0id

Matching colors no bueno

Ron Graf

Too many losses wearing all red

Robert Lloyd

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

John Sheeley

Just not a fan. Makes it look like Indiana

Ron Petersen

Looks like pajamas.

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

Brad Bredenkamp

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

PJ SAid

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

Patrick O'Brien

We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

William Osler

They are not a good team yet. Much work to do.

Alan Portsche

To many issues to fix

VAHuskerFan

There is NOWAY they will cover, there just not that good, atleast at this point.

David Weaver

Not convinced yet

Melvyn Halfon

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

Danny Brown

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

Ed Starke

It's hard to beat any team by that big of a margin.

McV0id

Defense needs more time to cook

George mcdaniel

Around 21 points
