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.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

we need an offence

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
