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.

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

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

Dave Johnson

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

Richard Johnson

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.

Pete Volquardsen

no tackling to slow no heart

Richard Johnson

It was really a tie.

Larry Dandrow

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.

Alex Perry

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.

Christopher Dillon

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

Tim Tiensvold

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.

John Mazzei

can't tackle

Valerie Gilmore

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

Cooper Bernardi

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!!!!!

Gene Baker

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.

I have been waiting 30+ years for this, All Red looks Bad Ass!!! GBR!!

Thomas Wright

“ GO BIG RED “ 🏈 ❗️

Steve Sorensen

Because they look awesome!

Kit Goodwin

We are Big Red!

Christopher Benson

Change is good.

James Schneider

Red baby Red!

Bob Crisler

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

PJ SAid

Why the Hell Not? God Bless everyone. Lets enjoy the game, get our minds off what is happening in the world. GBR

Kevin Ruppert

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Joe Putjenter

If that's what the kids wanted, I'm cool with it. I don't like it myself

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Joe Nigro

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Joe Hegarty

We love the Red & White

Roy Bishop

Alternates only for night games.

Roger Moellendorf

NU always loses when they wear all red or all black.

huskerdenton@yahoo.com

Why?

Danny Brown

It's too much, we look like popsicles

McV0id

Matching colors no bueno

Ron Graf

Too many losses wearing all red

Robert Lloyd

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

John Sheeley

Just not a fan. Makes it look like Indiana

Ron Petersen

Looks like pajamas.

Is the 34½-point spread against Akron about right?

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

Brad Bredenkamp

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

PJ SAid

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

William Osler

They are not a good team yet. Much work to do.

Alan Portsche

To many issues to fix

VAHuskerFan

There is NOWAY they will cover, there just not that good, atleast at this point.

David Weaver

Not convinced yet

Melvyn Halfon

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

Danny Brown

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

Ed Starke

It's hard to beat any team by that big of a margin.

McV0id

Defense needs more time to cook

George mcdaniel

Around 21 points
