I have to think the defense has learned many thing about themselves and it will benefit us when we get to November. I'm hoping!

Richard Davison

Because the defense is moving in the right direction, and the offense is building depth!

Hakam Shara

With a few key losses were still in the hunt for a national championship bid. Its not gonna happen but whenever you can say that the glass cant be half empty..

Stephen Johnson

Knew the defense was young. They are growing and the offense is getting better. When Taylor is back, great.

John Cornett

Defense is showing promise. Martinez is getting healthy. Legends division looks wide open.

Even with a better defense, an injured Taylor Martinez keeps the glass half empty... (Photo: AP) Story: http://bit.ly/18eqWAI

Need to be winning championships and earning scholarships.

Ron Rangel

defense maybe improving but so are other teams O. time will tell, until the D can consistently stop the run against "quality" teams, its smoke and mirrors

Ronald Pfeifer

just can't be optimistic

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
