Yes, but every week he have to prove you belong and they didn't last night. Rhule's team didn't play Rhule football. They got owned in the trenches, lost two phases of the game while being matched in the third (offense). Tony White was owned by the Illini OC and what exactly does Ed Foley do?

Is this a trick question? WTH? NU has played 3 nobody's & 1 decent team in IL. A good team beats that IL team by 14, and a really good team smokes those dudes. NU was neither last night. Can they be? I think so, but until we see different, it's hard to expect it. Rt now, we're 8-4 team, at best.

Bill Petty

Same O Same O. Can't finish, penalties, poor play from both O line and D line, coaching, unable to finish

Rob Robertson

Opponents the first three weeks were mediocre at best. The defense needs to change the front, and the secondary needs to play way better coverage and not always give the receivers a 4 to 5 yard cushion. We could very easily find ourselves at 500 after the next two games. I hope this isnt the case

Ted Paprocki

Should not be ranked until you beat higher level competition and show growth week in and week out....also need to show they can play solid and win road games...still a good team that still needs to learn how to win and believe they can win....games are never won on paper..GBR!

Crawler

Hasn't played anyone worthy of that ranking. Stronger teams are waiting on the Conf. It was a good wake up call for big red. Don't get too full of yourself, too soon.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We beat 3 not-so-great teams and really shouldn't have been ranked. Still a long way to go.

Mike O

I stopped listening to local sports radio after the Colorado win. I began to hear talk of the Playoffs and one midday host here in Omaha declared Raiola the most developed qb Nebraska has ever had. NU beat three inferior foes and a bunch of people started drinking the Rhule-aid.

Not enough consistency; Colorado win was a plus but struggle against NI should have moved NU backwards and Illinois loss (Illinois! ....) should drop them out of top 30. Lot of work remains for a team heading in the right direction but 'not there yet.'

There are 10 other players on the offense.

Robert Lloyd

Let Emmitt and TJ run and run and run and we'll have a victory.

James Smith

Home field advantage in front of family and friends. He will relive his high school glory HUSKERS 27 ucla 24

Die hard husker

Heart My Doghead

Mr L is from Socal, therefore highly motivated to excel...Huskers by 15

jerry williams

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances
