no, mix it up and make them play ready for anything!!

Troy Jensen

Bruins are not good against the run!

Scott Chastain

Yes, absolutely! I think it is just one of the reasons why we had more losses than we should have this year.

Dan Cubrich

Armstrong's pass attempts need to be limited because of his lusting for up for grabs passes. He should have 20 passes tops in this game to have a chance to win.

Eric Cole

Stock with one? They need to start one! Yesterday!!

Geraldo Boru Brew

Hell yes run the fullback, run Tommy!

Mike Leonard

coach says winning is first priority and prepareingfor next year 2nd. why 12 practices not 15

Visitor

Because it was for Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne it was good enough to win five national championships!

Dan Campbell

Armstrong throws too many picks

Brian Kopy

Our QB leads the nation in INT's....enough said

Keith Petrie

Absolutely! Shove it down their throats. Start keeping track of Pancakes!!!

Go with what coaches decide will. Be.most effective

nolan

Carter, Westy, Moore,reilly, Stanley, and turner will have game to remember. the receiving corps is the strength of the team the best in big 10. next year work on run attack. tommy will throw for 380 on these guys. all we need from run game is 120. the game will be one of the best of bowl season.

Dan Cubrich

If TA throws for 380 yards, he'll also have 5 picks or more. His pass attempts have to be limited to 20 passes tops, or else Nebraska is toast, mark my words.

dougnorman

We don't have a strong running attack. That is why we must pass effectively to win.

Kent A. Lang

This coaching staff does not know how to run the football. Period!

Dan Cubrich

You are exactly right! I'm still pissed off that Janovich didn't get any carries against Iowa. I almost wished he had gone to another school that wouldn't have wasted his talents. As much as I'm glad Bo is gone, he was a better coach than what we have now.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Joe Nigro

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

George mcdaniel

It had to do with mindset confidence and luck

Matt

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Haven't proven anything, yet.

Mike O

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Bob Flanagan

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

Brad Mcbride

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

Chin Sin Chong

No on field results to support that yet. History told us talks are simply empty statements

Roy Katskee

NU has not demonstrated that they belong.

Melvyn Halfon

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

Richard Johnson

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

Greg Engel

I just can’t let myself get my hopes up too high. I am hopeful for a good season, though

Kevin Hubbell

Let's not put the cart before the horse! 7 or 8 wins maybe.

Dan Larsen

Let's consider a few "bigger" bowl game victories first.... way to early!

Steve Slezak

Too soon

Joe Hegarty

That's crazy alright. Just hope they make a bowl game again.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
