Tennessee looked like it had better athletes on the field across the board. Bigger, stronger, faster on both sides of the ball. There is a lot of work to be done getting the O and D lines where they need to be to play championship caliber teams. I think Riley knows it and can do the job.

I don't know. I didn't bother to witness another loss to any ranked team.

Totally incapable of blocking at the line. Outplayed, out-muscled....not enough talent.

I kept wondering why Gates wasn't given any help. Why no double teaming against Barnett?

Since I can't click both, I chose defense, all season long they have been dogged by not showing up till the 4th quarter.

The lack of coaching and talent became demostrably apparent. If a team wants to compete it MUSTbe talented in all positions with depth for the guys with a knuckle on the ground. Otherwise you will only be competitive with teams such as Indiana, Purdue and so on.

Easy vote here because Tommy, Westy and Newby did not play. The defense was atrocious and we just can't ever sack the QB and show that we can shut people down and show up when the offense needs em most.

linebackers were out of position and lost most of the night. Plus the lack of fundamentals in tackling!!!

SOFT ZONE/NO PRESSURE - Banker utilized the zone all year with mediocre results against pushover teams. Is it a surprise that potent offenses and even some not-so-potent (looking at you Iowa) were able to exploit it at will? When you play a soft zone and can't apply pressure to the QB you're done.

Defense is supposedly the easier to play, but for some reason, we made it looking like diarrhea offense for the other team...........

Well we do pretty good against teams without any speed and much athleticism. Western Michigans offensive line is twice as good as ours, why?defensive line too!!!!!

The tackling was terrible, they would throw their bodies in front of the ball carrier, no wrapping up, no sticking the ball carrier. It's like they were afraid to hit them.

Thumbs up or down on the Huskers' black uniforms for the USC game?

As long as the players assume the same attitude of the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. It's only a flesh wound.

We really don't need an ugly alternate uniform. It's the play on the field that counts, not the uni's.

Once again. That's the best that Adidas can come up with!? I see Nike & Under Armor alternate uniforms from othe Univ. that seem to me really cool, like Stars & Stripes logos or school colored camo. Maybe Adidas can hire a designer that doesn't suck? Or maybe the UNL can step out of there comfort

I've seen better, more creative, black setups from Nebraska. If you're going to spend the effort to do an alternate, make it special...go Oregon mode.

I grew up in the south, in the 80's. Teams with ugly, all one color unis were SWAC teams, that's what I always equated that with, a lower level of competition. I do recall NU wearing all red against OU in 1987. It came off as gimmicky & I hated it. But if todays kids want it, so be it.
