We are in W zone which give the kids a boost.

I really don't see how a 1-point win over a team like Purdue is a big deal. Photo credit: Journal Star

Just shows how far the program has dropped that we are only 1 point better than Purdue!

Ron Huffman

Players still play like a monkey....ball

Paul F Edwards

Just think...if we would of had 400+ yards on the ground, instead thru the air can you imagine what the score would have been? No offensive line play, so no ground game. Which is why rushing yards are superior to passing yards.

Tim Schroeder

One TD with 14 seconds left didn't change what I saw for the other 59:46 of the game.

James Traut

Not so lucky in coming games? The game coaching and strength coaching are really poor— mediocre player development and a lot of injuries are prevalent. I suspect the season ends on a poor note.

Arlie Rauch

Because Purdue is not a first-rate team. I'm glad NU won, but it likely doesn't prove much.

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.

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.
