It is in the passing game but has regressed in the running game. If NU can't run the ball effectively we may not win again, if they can, we got a chance in all of them. And quit saying all except Michigan, they are beatable if an explosive passing attack can also run well!

Lacks energy and conditioning. Poor blocking assignments.

Still no run game, little short game passing, not using Vokelek and Rhamir enough and so on and so forth, sad and contintually sadder state of affairs

Did you watch today's game with Illinois?

Robert Epperson

No consistency

Chris Martin

I'm torn on this question, but ultimately I voted no. Every successful offense needs explosive "chunk" plays in the passing game like NU got last week. However, a successful offense can't be totally one dimensional like the Huskers were last week. The leading rusher can't have 1 carry for 60 yds.

Larry Smith

Averaging around 29 points per game on offense, and averaging 31 points per game on defense. I'd say they are pretty balanced. I am disappointed as a 70 year fan that those are the numbers. So, no. They aren't showing me much.

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 🎈

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.
