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.

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

They are living on borrowed time.

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 🎈

SEW

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.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.
