Steven Bailey

Mike Rileys' bowl record.

Ryan MacKay

New Cornerbacks coach and split duties on special teams will provide better punt and KO coverage. Gives Huskers much needed boost.

Gene Baker

Nebraska has a Good team great coaches and we get better every time we take the field.

Rich Regan

Tennessee has no defense. They allowed 608 yards against Vanderbilt, 704 vs Missouri and 635 vs Kentucky.

Joe Lazure

We should get our injured players healthy. We've been a great team when healthy

Keith Petrie

It depends on the health of the offensive line and Tommy and hey... we're playing in Nashville... nothing like a home field advantage. Just ask the Badgers! Darn... did I say that?

Randy Hill

Huskers match up well against the Vols. If they can contain Dobbs, they will win. GBR

Scott M Goertzen

Were not a bad team, and Tennessee isn't a world beater.

Valerie Gilmore

I don't think the football team wants to sit around all winter with bird feathers in their mouths, look for them to come out and every body say....'WERE THE HELL WAS THIS TEAM ALL YEAR?'

Marty Norris Davis

Both teams have had their ups and downs this season. We have this! Go Big Red!

Michael Peters

I think if we are healed up we can play with anyone in the country.

Stephen Johnson

We have the talent. Time for injuries to heal. Time for the OC to learn how to run the option.

Iowa letdown.

Dan Cubrich

I'll be surprised if we are within 20 points of them by game's end, the way our coaches coach. The whipping we received by an average Iowa team gave me much pessimism about this game.

Jody Acree

I'm nervous because I just watched a replay of the beatdown we took from Iowa. TN has much better athletes.

Dave Scott

mike riley mark banker and danny langsdorf..... enough said... totally out matched....

Pete Volquardsen

terrible finish will carry over to bowl

Will Fred Hoiberg's Huskers still be undefeated when the calendar flips to February?

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.

Roy Katskee

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.
