Danny Baker

Yes they will, because the right system is in place, the right attitude has been instilled, the right coaching is in place, and the talent is there.

Marty Norris Davis

I know they will! I am retiring from the Air Force and my gift from my wife is our attendance to every game, home and away! #GBR #Huskers #2016isouryear

Kevin Hamilton

Why not!

Randy Wolf

They flirted with disaster last year and see determined to recapture the magic of the mid 90s

Keith Petrie

They should have last year!!! Coaching failed them.

Andrew LaFevre

Past coaching failed them, I agree

Ricky Tolen

Gut feeling...

Travis Kirsch

Why? Riley & co will coach like their rear ends are on fire this season. If they have another season like last season, they'll all be looking for other jobs.

Jerry Williams

Second year of familiarity with a system, like the defensive coaches.

Jack Gillam

I believe!

Cameron Kiersch

too many narrow defeats and a period of change. If Tommy flips the "decision-making" switch, the Skers could be dangerous. DL will retool and secondary/LS's will be improved by experience and depth

Ed Vinton

11 0r 12 wins isn't out of reach. It depends, if Nebraska throw the ball 15-25 a game (10-13 wins) or, if they go for the 45+ throws (6-8 wins). It's not rocket science!!!

Arlie Rauch

With all the spring hype as usual, eight wins are only the tip of the iceberg. Of course, the reality in fall may be different! It's fun to be on the band wagon, but I hate falling off every fall.

Andrew Shields

Team chemistry is up, determination by the coaching staff to run the rock more, especially on first down, and the talented men they are about to roll out

Mike Conyers

Because Spring Optimism

Travis McKay

At worst they win 8, more than likely end up 9-3 or 10-2 if we are lucky.

Robert Lloyd

Mike Riley has seen the results of Nebraska's tradition and comfort level while running the ball. And if he takes to heart that you have to run on first down to be a running team, we will be fine. I think he gets it.

Alan Blackburn

I see a 10 win season on the horizon. We have talent galore and MR is the man to bring us to a 10 win regular season.

Thom Beran

I'm pickin up good vibrations.

Robert Hegler

Absolutely! I expect more than 8 wins.

It could be a tall order in arguably the best conference in the nation.

I'm hearing the same spring game plan offensively and expect to see the same fall execution. That paired with a more difficult schedule leaves me with little hope for improvement. We need some coaches that realize that college ball is very different from pro ball and who adjust accordingly.

Stephen Johnson

Looking at the schedule, I see 5 losses in the regular season. I predicted 5 wins last season. Time will tell.

Jason Coorts

Too many tough road games...OSU, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northwestern. We'll probably lose to Oregon then either split those 4 tough road games and find a way to blow another home game or lose 3 of the 4 road games. I feel like 8-4 is our cap unless we have some magical Iowa-like run and no injuries.

Dan Cubrich

We'll see 8 wins tops if Riley decides to pass the ball 40 times a game, but a more balanced offense with limited pass attempts from Armstrong could result in 10 wins or so.

Michael Morkert

This is a coach who never won more than 7 games. A sever game win season will be his super bowl!

Kevin Hamilton

idiot!

Don Buckingham

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.

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

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
