Tanner Lee is likely out meaning O'Brien will draw the spot start. He could surprise some.

Patrick is the first QB in years that throws while moving in the forward motion. He looked good against MN and really surprised us when running and scrambling. He needs a team to win but it can be done... GBR.

Arlie Rauch

He will be fine. It's finally his turn, and he will show what he can do. Wouldn't it be fantastic if he pulled out an impossible win?!

Jay Safford

He looked pretty good against MN but the line is so bad. If the line can give him any time I think he will do ok.

He holds onto the ball for way too long. PSU will be eating him alive all game

Dave Scott

sadly, langsdorf will continue to place the team in jeopardy and Patrick will not be able to overcome langsdorfs pathetic attempt at being a coach. absent langsdorf and riley, Patrick will do fine.

Rich Leffler

The offensive line cannot or will not be able to protect him. Without protection Penn State will continue to sack him throughout the game. Otherwise I think that he would do ok, maybe 1 interception.

James Traut

Poor OL and no running game. PSU can tee off from the beginning of the game going at the QB.

Danny Baker

It won't matter who is Q-backing the offense. The O-line will still be the same.

Fred Gibson

If we cant beat Northern Illinois, Northwestern, or Minnesota, how the hell are we gonna beat an actual good team like Penn State or Iowa?

Matt Shalberg

Inexperience and HORRIBLE I MEAN ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE OFFENSIVE LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Randy Wolf

It will be the defense that loses the game. No way neb wins.

TXHusker

Not with this O line

Chris Phillips

He's a step or two back from Lee with reading the D and getting rid of the football, so I think he'll take a lot of sacks. It's going to be a real ugly game I'm afraid. Maybe 100 - 0.

I have been waiting 30+ years for this, All Red looks Bad Ass!!! GBR!!

Thomas Wright

“ GO BIG RED “ 🏈 ❗️

Steve Sorensen

Because they look awesome!

Kit Goodwin

We are Big Red!

Christopher Benson

Change is good.

James Schneider

Red baby Red!

Bob Crisler

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

PJ SAid

Why the Hell Not? God Bless everyone. Lets enjoy the game, get our minds off what is happening in the world. GBR

Kevin Ruppert

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Joe Putjenter

If that's what the kids wanted, I'm cool with it. I don't like it myself

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Joe Nigro

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Joe Hegarty

We love the Red & White

Roy Bishop

Alternates only for night games.

Roger Moellendorf

NU always loses when they wear all red or all black.

huskerdenton@yahoo.com

Why?

Danny Brown

It's too much, we look like popsicles

McV0id

Matching colors no bueno

Ron Graf

Too many losses wearing all red

Robert Lloyd

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

John Sheeley

Just not a fan. Makes it look like Indiana

Ron Petersen

Looks like pajamas.

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

Brad Bredenkamp

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

PJ SAid

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

Patrick O'Brien

We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

William Osler

They are not a good team yet. Much work to do.

Alan Portsche

To many issues to fix

VAHuskerFan

There is NOWAY they will cover, there just not that good, atleast at this point.

David Weaver

Not convinced yet

Melvyn Halfon

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

Danny Brown

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

Ed Starke

It's hard to beat any team by that big of a margin.

McV0id

Defense needs more time to cook

George mcdaniel

Around 21 points
