One thing this staff can do is evaluate. Patrick O'brien has a chance to be special at Nebraska, the first true quarterback that we haven't had in a long time. They have HS producers like Spielman and Grimm. If they close out the class with guys like Jackson, Farniok, and Watts, it could be top20

Doug Shonka

This same staff thought Johnny Stanton would be a great college QB. Let's not get over our skis on POB just yet.

It is a little early to tell but right now sort of middle of the pack.

James Traut

Too soon for an accurate estimate but so far very average and no where near the OSU, Michigan, PSU talent projections. NU so far is possibly becoming the Missouri or Okla. State programs of the long ago Big 8 era-- competitive on occasion to win a league title.

Larry Baumann

Nothing but mediocre talent at best which matches Riley's coaching abilities. We will see nothing but 2 star athletes until we get rid of this 62 year old bald headed bum!

Need more Skill Position players and less walk ons. If Nebraska were to play Alabama this September, we would be steam rolled.

Rich Stricklett

Keep losing key players

Sean Fluharty

In order to compete for championships we need to finish in the Top 12-15 year-in, year-out. Barely cracking the Top 25 isn't gonna cut it. We were told that Riley & Co. would be able to snare top recruits with all of the resources at their disposal, but they've been disappointing thus far.

Garret Shaw

We have to get inside the top 20 of recruiting, to get where we need to be.

Visitor

not impressed at all seem to be losing more than winning

Ben Brooks

Very weak at DT and WR

Keith Petrie

Need some good offensive line talent and guys with a mean streak on the field. Add some skill position talent and we're all set. GBR!

Doug Shonka

Lack of success in 2 key areas - DE and OT

Randy Wolf

Losing too many previous commits. Winning is important to recruiting and when the Huskers blow games like the Iowa game that hurts.

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

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.

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.
