It would make things interesting for sure.

Valerie Gilmore

they are the show, they are the reason stadiums in some cases sell out Saturday after Saturday, absolutely these student athletes should be paid. Student/Athletes have access to meals, clothing, tutors, etc., but some payment should be available

Jesse Gilmore

Kids are risking brain damage (CTE) and have only about a 5% chance of making it to the NFL. A free education you say? A degree in PE is practically worthless. All the while these kids are making the school, athletic dept, and coaches millions and millions. Billions in some cases. This is absurd.

It would change college football in to minor league football with incentive being money rather than the love of the game However, I think the schools could offer more incentives like Michigan with foreign experiences and broadening the learning base experience.

Steven Benscoter

it will not be the same game' i'll change everything

Danny Baker

They are there to get an education and if the school makes money on them, so be it. If the school does not make money then all of the scholarships and free benefits will not be there. Are athletes that go pro, going to pay back the school? What school pays the most? That is where I would go.

Robert Lloyd

They are there for the education or they should get out.

Joe Nigro

I do believe that they deserve an allowance so they have enough to live on while trying to compete on the field and in the classroom.

Kim R. Fandry

they are already getting paid. Meals, Tuition and an opportunity to reach the NFL. A normal student pays up to 60,000 to 100000 dollars for tuition at any big school.

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances

Need a new offensive line coach

Arthur Cayette

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Robert Lloyd

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

Patrick O'Brien

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Joe Kuphal

Nebraska has to prove it is not the same old story…until they do by definition it is.

Jon Howser

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

Joe Hegarty

Need to come up with an offensive that fits the talent we have but doubt that will happen.

No big deal. Recovery on the way
