Could be better than it initially was going to be if we retain the current commits. Already got a nice LB recruit we wouldn't have.

Wendy Bider

Excitement...Intrigue...and wanting to be a part of a positive change. Doesn't matter what you're going into...that's exciting for anyone!!!

Couldn't be worse

Might attract a high caliber QB knowing there is somewhat a change in style and OC.

Visitor

telling recruits of a more positive direction the program will be going to from here

Solich was the worst, Bo wasn't much better in Recruiting.

Riley's national reputation by pundits will influence recruiting

Jay Safford

I don't think it will affect the recruiting class. Students commit and de-commit all the time up to signing day. We lost a few at the last minute last year and it always happens. We will be just fine!

Gene Baker

The system Riely runs will draw NFL hopefuls. Especially on the offensive side of the ball.P

Need to get use to recruiting to nebraska. No top recruiters on his staff so far.

Christian Bengel

Naturally it's going to hurt. Unless we end up pulling some previous commits from the schools these coaches are leaving, there's no relationship of current commits to these coaches. Not rocket science. However the fact that everyone has hit the ground running to get a staff in place certainly will make some difference, however it's not like these kids are going to be playing for a huge name coach. See more of a negative than a positive.

the best recruits already have relationships built.....

We had a good class going and Riley has never shown to be a good recruiter.

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

Riley has no impressive celebrity status with highschool (and college) players perhaps outside OSU. Nobody knows the guy because he only wins about half the time. Players who have never met him or researched him are not impressed so why be interested or stick around?

Kent A. Lang

Because Husker fans are living in the 90's and think if the NEW coach acts like TO he will be TO. Doesn't work that way. The Ant-Bo will drop 2 of the first 4 next season. Bank on it.

Will the black-out home game vs. USC Trojans amplify the Huskers’ chance to shine?

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances

Need a new offensive line coach

Arthur Cayette

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Robert Lloyd

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

Patrick O'Brien

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Joe Kuphal

Nebraska has to prove it is not the same old story…until they do by definition it is.

Jon Howser

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

Joe Hegarty

Need to come up with an offensive that fits the talent we have but doubt that will happen.
