I think he's on the right track-Give him some time and he will turn this program around!

Boss Moss

He has assembled a great coaching staff, and the recruiting momentum is building.

Gene Baker

He is doing everything that he needs to do to win. Bringing in Bob Diaco was a great move, one that shows he wants to win at Nebraska. Riely knows football and he knows people, he is a great hire.

Ken Friend

He came into the program with disgruntled players and position holes everywhere. Attitudes have changed and recruiting is has improved dramatically. He also made necessary coaching changes.

Wade Williams

We have been down for a while now. Since Osborne left, other than Solich's first few seasons, it just hasn't worked out with any of the other coaches. I think Riley can do it though and certainly hope that he does! I think before it's all said & done, we'll be hoping he doesn't leave or retire.

He's 15-11 in two seasons and doesn't give me much hope. Photo credit: Journal Star

Give me more options! Riley will beat teams he's not supposed to and lose to teams he shouldn't! He shouldn't... but he will!

Dave Levesque

I don't have time to list the reasons.

Isaiah Skrdla

It will take a season for the defense to gel and the offensive staff needs coaching adjustments similar to the defense. The defense actually out ranked the offense nationally last season. Riley has several more friends to fire before Nebraska can win their division let alone their conference.

Dwain Van Houten

Not until he gets an elite o.c.

Aaron Weeks

Like the guy, but he has made some amateurish play calls. "you can't fix stupid"

Do you see the Huskers beating the point spread against Oklahoma this weekend?

OU is susceptible to the long passing game. NU pulls out some stops on offense. D keeps it close. OU by 3.

James Key

Im breaking out my 30yr old Number 7 jersey. Huskers by 7

Matt Seiler

Spencer is a guy who’s easily rattled (get it?) and figures to throw a few picks if pressured. I still think we lose but Huskers can move the ball through the air and force a few TOs to keep this game within 14. Small chance they even pull out the W

Mark Wane

I watched the Tulane game and I think Buffalo is a good team that the D shutdown. Plus I went to school in the 90’s and want us so badly to step up on National tv. We are due!! Skers

Mick Hanson

I drink all the Kool-aid, why not?

Bob Berg

Sooner's lose one game mid-season. Why not this one. Hopefully no one showed the Sooner team what Frost and company did to them in '96 and '97. We should play well for 3 quarters then their top guys may take over.

I can’t believe Nebraska fans have fallen so far that they discuss if they can’t beat the spread and not if they can beat OU.

Terry Busch

they have talent everywhere. We have a tiny bit of talent. It's a talent landslide.

Sporty361

No way! IL lost big to an unrated Virginia team. Sooners will do whatever they want to do regarding score. Tired of us ‘rebuilding’ when we can’t beat teams that out recruit us every year. Don’t those teams have to rebuild? Simply put we are either terrible recruiters or terrible developers.

Larry Smith

Big REd is playing well below the Sooner's level. I just hope they can keep it at the 21 points and not get buried in a ten td avalanche.

Steve Walker

They are still playing pretty bad. Offensive line is still not blowing anyone off the ball. Defense is still not getting a pass rush. Secondary is not as good as advertised. Hopefully there will be improvement.

USMC Sully

we have been down this road too many times to think otherwise

Wade Williams

We are not there yet. We put too much pressure on an improving defense. If NU could some how score 40 they might have a chance at the end of the game but....I'll call it 48-27 OU.

Matt Seiler

I believe that means they beat the spread

Bryan Petersen

Offensive line had yet to show we can run the ball between the tackles

Are you concerned about the investigation into the Husker's use of analysts and off-campus workouts?

Lots of teams are doing the exact same thing. Make everyone else accountable before just punishing the Huskers.

Randy Weitzenkamp

It's just a distraction, but it is the last thing we need right now. The timing of this news is extremely suspicious. Focus on taking care of business on the field and this will be ancient history in a month .

Frost is doing everything he can to try to get this program going again. That even means blatantly cheating and trying to cover up his cheating. This isn’t an oopsie, it’s desperation. Same with trying to run away from the OU game. He knows he’s in trouble and he just cost himself his buyout.
