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.

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.

Michael Graham

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?

Sid Desai

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.

Doug Dewitz

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.
