Good people as coaches. The line depleted, now is in the hands of a great upcoming coach. Linebackers and d-backs are in good hands.

I like their chances but it may take a few games with a young d-line. I wish the veterans would have stuck around 1 more year. Our young d-line improvement is the key i believe.

I don't think that it will happen this year. I think this year will be terrible. However I think 2017s defense could be pretty good. I feel better about the direction of the defense than the ofense.

the talent was there last year, the talent is there this year and we have a new motivator speaking in terms that will get them ready for games, so yeah Nebraska will turn it around.......

I feel they were almost there last year and now with Parella, the package will be complete.

Yes they have a ton of young talent and great coaches, especially John Parela! I'm actually very excited to see the finished product out on the field! GBR!!!

I believe these are good coaches with good talent. John Parella will help instill the Blackshirt pride.

To me, the 'D' coordinator is still a question mark. 'D' line is a question mark. Although I like John Parrella's chances of bringing them around.

Same defensive staff, different day. Same pass defense, 115 this year????

I'm not sure Mr Banker can coach a successful pass defense.

Likely improvement in the DBs negated by weaker defensive line.

Did not see enough development last season to give me any meaningful reason to suggest that what is returning on the defensive side of the ball will be anywhere near what will be needed for a winning season.

Not this year with the lack of depth and meaningful experience on the defensive line. it all starts there. We're going in the right direction though.

Not sure. This year will tell a lot. I was hoping it was a aggressive defense, but I didn't see it last year. Only Nate Gerry at the end of the year got aggressive. No excuses this year, players know the defense, so now we will find out/

Because Banker is still the DC.

The D coordinator has NEVER had a top D so why would we expect one now - especially when the D line is so young?

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

Stadium Reno is a horrible excuse. It is cowardice....

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.

It definitely seems very cowardly, very disappointed.

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.

Unfortunately, that January slide might be a bit too much to overcome. I hope they prove me wrong.

With their record, they'll be lucky to sneak into the tourney. NIT seems more likely.

No great BIG teams this year so they sneak in, get a 9 or 10 seed, and continue their perfect record in the Big Dance :).
