We got em just where we want em, guess we overlooked, wu, for the big dog the state u in ohio. If they read espn they might not be able to fit in their helmets.

Mike Moravec

Physically, yes there is a chance. Mentally/emotionally they have to believe in their ability to do so. Mike Riley is a good man, smart coach. He can sell it, the players have to buy it.

Oh course there is a chance, its a small chance, but there is a chance...when I say small, I mean a tick's pooh is about how much of a chance.

With Riley as head coach it seems as though NU now has a bunch of weak minded players. It looks to me like if they have a scrape or minor injury their not going to play. Riley babies his players and doesn't seem to mind losing and making excuses for his coaches, coaching, and players. No spark!!!

James Traut

Middle of the road talent in the Big10, mediocre player development, unproven offensive scheme, uncertainty with both the AD and HC positions... too big a mountain to climb beating the Buckeyes.

Dennis M. Greene

Firing a 10-3 coach is a lot like keeping a Billy Goat out of a baseball game. I am convinced we are cursed. Go Big Red. Go Cubs.

Dave Scott

the only way the huskers could win is if langsdorf and cavanaugh coached the buckeyes

Arlie Rauch

Never say never, but a miracle would be required. Unfortunately, they just don't match up with the top teams.

Stacy Rodenbaugh

Ummmm.....really?

Running game is improving

Eric Hahn

I think without getting cute and simplifying we were able to see the talent that was recruited on the line shine against Wisconsin. There were holes open nearly all night for our backs. Dylan was not sacked at all.

klirvine@bresnan.net

they are better no question

Bill Petty

yes

Will Stanley

Tonite I saw hints of the '95 Huskers. We have a lot of work to do but I think with Rhule and Holgerson, I think within the next 2-3 seasons, we will be on the ranking polls and pushing for the Big 10 Legends title and then? Who knows? Maybe a National title is in the future??

I think a good 'running' OC like Army's OC could have an awesome offense with this exact personnel. And the Army's OC only makes $190K.

Steve Brandon

Only thing good at is picking up qb after giving up a sack

Jeffrey Bushman

actually they stink.

Bruce Stephens

There are some good high school defenses that would give our line fits.

Fearless Phil

I was spoiled by the lines of the 80s and 90s

Joe Hegarty

They need more strength & conditioning

Mike O

Offensive is the right word. The Pipeline is clogged and needs a plumber ASAP. The you know what is backing up into the basement. That Focker is our offensive line.

James Key

I don't care at this moment. just win Baby

Michael DePuglio

Take a look at the average SEC OL.... we need more work and development.

Brian Machan

We need a complete overhaul of personnel. Coaching is there, talent isn't.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go
