Bama's defense is better.

Wade Williams

Bamas D is NOT better! I live in the south and believe me, their 2 main tests they failed miserably. Ole Miss and Fla rolled up all kinds of points and yardage on them. Bama feasted on a mostly weak SEC this year. They will lose this game. Take the points!

Kent Snowdon

NO REASON THERE ALABAMAA

Matt Seiler

Genuinely surprised more people are taking the Buckeyes. I think Alabama is well coached with better athletes across the board. If Buckeyes can run on Bama there's a good chance they win. I'm not sure they can. But I am sure Bama can pass on OSU and that's dangerous. 38-31 Tide. Hope I'm wrong!

David Steffen

better atheletes more tested

shawn hobbs

I'm from Greenbow, stupid is as stupid does.

Sheryl Lindley

They are tuff to beat. Ohio may be more hungry which could be the difference. I just wish there was some new faces in the playoffs. I do not like either one of the two.

Matt Seiler

Cheer for Fields. He seems to be a very genuinely good guy

For no other reason than they are in the Big 10 and they were vocal supporters of Nebraska's desire to play this past fall. They supported us, so I support them.

Steve Walker

I really like Justin Fields. Some conference pride. Also Ohio State helped Nebraska get the BigTen to play football. Alabama is probably better, but I am pulling for tOSU.

Ron Joseph

Need some conf pride here. Tired of seeing SEC and ACC winning this game. And besides, when we beat OSU next year in Lincoln, it will be a real feather in our hat!!! (Got to think positive)

Matt Seiler

Thinking positive doesn't make things happen. I hope the Buckeyes win but between having a banged up QB and facing the best offense in college football it's a tough task!

Wade Williams

The SEC was pretty week this year top to bottom except for AL. They haven't faced a running attack or as balanced an offense as OSU. Nor have they faced a D this good, particularly the secondary. OSU 27 BAMA 24

Dale Paulsen

Nick Saban is a pompous ass, and Ryan Day is a class act! Best reason I can think of!

Richard Stotts

better qb play

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.

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

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.
