If Armstrong JR doesn't chuck bombs under pressure which are slightly more effective than punting on first down....And if Poopoocheese doesn't coach the D

There should be big chips on the players' shoulders. When a well liked coach leaves the team usually performs well in support. USC also doesn't play hard the whole game. They are beatable.

I just don't have confidence that the coaches will have this team prepared well enough to play to this team's full potential. They teach these kids to think and not react. Always a step behind. Also evidenced by a lack of playing using basic fundamentals. Also because TA can't hit the broadside of a barn.

They lack execution and motivation. The coaches don't know how to make half time adjustments and they will not pull the starters no matter how bad they are doing.

USC demonstrated a lot of team speed versus Notre Dame. McNeese State players noted the Huskers' lack of speed.

Too many distractions on the NU side to stay focused on USC.

I'd have voted this way whether Coach Pelini was gone or not - based on what I saw this year, I just don't think this team hangs with USC, especially as this is virtually a home game for the opponent, Hopefully Ameer is healthy, and Randy, but we'll see.

Not to be a negative Nellie, but i just don't think they will hang with USC for more than a qtr (maybe)..Not a lot of motivation for this one i dont believe.....Ill watch, but, not expecting much. GBR!

First off it is USC at home. Second, although I believe there is enough motivation for the players, they are still smarting from the change. I suspect that they will put up a fight at first and then when things get real tough, they will fold as their heart probably isn't there.

We have a talent deficit, a coaching deficit, and a lack of motivation on players parts because of all the upheaval.

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.

Baseball stadiums are NOT conducive to FB games...sight lines and angles to the field are designed for baseball and not FB. Will save the $3 to $4,000 dollars and watch it 10 feet from my icebox, and bathroom...Plus, who knows what type of Husker team will we be seeing...Too many nopes for me.
