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.

Which problem can Nebraska least afford to repeat against Michigan State?

Nebraska is known over the years to have struggled against running Quarterbacks, they have to make sure that doesn’t happen today!!!

I think our OL is the most problematic thing, not Emmett Johnson. If MSU gets on a roll and stops Dylan then we are in trouble.

Any time you stop the run, you make a team one dimensional

the OL has to play better. the running backs can't run if there aren't any holes to run into. they have to protect the QB, 1 or 2 sacks are acceptable, but they can't give up 7 again.

I believe Coach Rhule and his staff have the ability to get the team to understand their shortcomings in the last game and will show them how to overcome the obstacles that Michigan presented. GO BIG RED!!! 🎈🎈🎈

I doubt it, but I'd be happy with 3/4 at this point. Hope I'm wrong though.

Can't get stops when it counts the most. Can't move ball when it counts the most. O line and D line have been and continue to be a problem. I am not hopeful going forward.

We have a DC that can't adjust on the fly.

Our line play is mediocre. We have skill players but our line play on both sides will be our limiting factor. We need to find toughness for 4 quarters. In this age of celebrating every yard, we lose rock hard toughness.

Football games are won with offensive and defensive lines. We have neither.

Our O-Line & D-Line are simply not good enough to get the job done.
