Our pass d has been bad and if minn can throw for 300 any team in our league can

Sean Fluharty

I'm sure he'll have a career day, just like many others have had. This secondary has given me no reason to think otherwise.

every game this year the other teams QB's have had one of their best passing games ever

Dan Cubrich

Yes they have, and not only that, but every one of them has looked like a Heisman contender against Nebraska's badly coached secondary.

Kevin Hamilton

The team will make the QB look like an all world player again.

I am going to guess, Northwestern has a break out day passing, if they don't, they lose.

John Ross Clark

We give up 300 yards to everyone.

Dan Cubrich

More like 300 yards or more.

Jim Stiver

If there is no pressure on the QB he will have a field day. I just wish our dbs would turn around when the ball is coming. That's on Banker to teach them to do that. I am so disgusted with the defensive coordinator it isn't funny. Bring back Charlie Mcbride.

We are going to run the ball and control the clock limiting there passing yards

Eric D Ludvigsen

I hope that is just under 200. They will likely have more success against us than their average, but our secondary played a much better second half against MN so Im hopeful it continues.

Danny Baker

I think the defense steps up, plus Northwestern's passing numbers are not that spectacular.

David LaFever

If pressure is put on QB and DBs learn to turn around.

Running game is improving

Eric Hahn

I think without getting cute and simplifying we were able to see the talent that was recruited on the line shine against Wisconsin. There were holes open nearly all night for our backs. Dylan was not sacked at all.

klirvine@bresnan.net

they are better no question

Bill Petty

yes

Will Stanley

Tonite I saw hints of the '95 Huskers. We have a lot of work to do but I think with Rhule and Holgerson, I think within the next 2-3 seasons, we will be on the ranking polls and pushing for the Big 10 Legends title and then? Who knows? Maybe a National title is in the future??

I think a good 'running' OC like Army's OC could have an awesome offense with this exact personnel. And the Army's OC only makes $190K.

Steve Brandon

Only thing good at is picking up qb after giving up a sack

Jeffrey Bushman

actually they stink.

Bruce Stephens

There are some good high school defenses that would give our line fits.

Fearless Phil

I was spoiled by the lines of the 80s and 90s

Joe Hegarty

They need more strength & conditioning

Mike O

Offensive is the right word. The Pipeline is clogged and needs a plumber ASAP. The you know what is backing up into the basement. That Focker is our offensive line.

James Key

I don't care at this moment. just win Baby

Michael DePuglio

Take a look at the average SEC OL.... we need more work and development.

Brian Machan

We need a complete overhaul of personnel. Coaching is there, talent isn't.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

klirvine@bresnan.net

we need an offence

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go
