I hope we put our big boy pants on and run right through them. TA is probably not going to play so the running backs are going to make up for that. WE are a big ten team not a pac 12 so let's stick it to them and show them what a good running team could look like. Besides running wears them down

Gene Baker

Without Tommy we will need Terrell Newby and company to come up big, and with a healthy O line we should control the game and help Ryker and our D.

Michael Morkert

We do not have an accurate passer in Fyfe so we may have to run 60% to 70 % of the time.

Richard Johnson

Aside from staying in the locker room, running the ball makes the most sense of avoiding an embarrassment,

Mary Lyne

I think it is obvious with Ryker in limited playing time. Line up and run the ball. They may know it is coming but their stats are not that inimidating

Katie Hobson

Cancel The Game For Goodness Sakes. Why Embarrass Us Fans Who Have Wasted Their Money And Time??? We Barely Have A Team To Field. No QB, No Westy, No Gerry, ect...

I was impressed by some of the balls that Ryker threw. So I look forward to a few more passes, slinging it is not the term I would really use. We still want a ground game but it might not be there.

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

Need a new offensive line coach

Arthur Cayette

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Robert Lloyd

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

Patrick O'Brien

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Joe Kuphal

Nebraska has to prove it is not the same old story…until they do by definition it is.

Jon Howser

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

Joe Hegarty

Need to come up with an offensive that fits the talent we have but doubt that will happen.

No big deal. Recovery on the way

Leave these boys alone. They are going to start believing the BS and senseless criticism y'all spew.
