i have trained him since middle school he has ALWAYS been a BEAST1

Paul F Edwards

Bessides Washington, he is exactly what we need, although I see him as a backup, or secondary back to Washington. Washington is better, but we'll see how the season unfolds. It's coming!

Bruce Jakubowski

We needed a mature large RB...

Jared Phillips

Until i know what is going on with washington mills is the only proven runningback

Eric Johnson

I'm more than a little concerned about his off-field issues but man - this could be the jolt the offense needs to be damn near unstoppable

Phillip McNeely

Washington is absent for time being. Wirhout Washington D. Mills clearly stands out as the RB who has the most yards of experience at running back for Nebraska.

NU fans have heaped praise on other running backs before they ever excelled on the field. We are doing the same for Dedrick Mills. Let him show us he is the missing link. Remember last year's RB?

Valerie Gilmore

IF, IF he can keep himself upright moving forwards, keep issues laid to rest, there is a very positive reaction for a team that has some elementary attitudes, I want all Huskers to succeed!

Jacob Moseman

With Wandale Robinson coming on board, and more maturity and experience at QB, perhaps a big RB wasn't as critical as some positions on defense.

Lyle Martin

Straightening out somebody's mental conditioning is tough.

Dan Phillips

Unproven in B10

Jon Stitzel

I'll trust the coaches if they think he's got his off field issues under control, but we've seen too many hyped-up JC transfers flame out for me to be too excited until I see something on game day.

Torrey Vap

Have to see what kind of shape he is in now and where he will be at the end of fall camp. Greg Bell was a very high rated JC back last year and we see how that worked out. I want the best for him!

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.
