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

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.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
