The coaches for the first time this year called a game to his strengths. and he responded with a great performance. Hopefully Riley and Co. learned what Nebraska football is suppose to look like.

He played team football and didn't try to be the star.

He made a lot better decisions. Took sacks. A punt is a lot better than a turnover

Only threw 19 times -- it should always be like that!

For one of the few times in his career the play calling played to his strengths.....if they play call games like that then he could have an outstanding senior season and play a notch ahead of this heralded freshman O'Brien....... Kuddos to Langsdorff and Riley for what they did.

He played within his ability and strengths. Should have done this all year.

Hard to pick this one over Michigan State, but when you game plan to his strengths and the O-line dominates I think you'll get a W every time. 10 of his 12 completions went for 1st downs.

Very nice performance. The coaches really adapted to showcase Tommy's strengths. Great job by the coaches too. Move forward. Go Big Red.

He was asked to play within his strengths, and he responded with accuracy and authority. It was fun watching him do it! If that's the plan for 2016, it could be a good year.

Played within himself; not attempting to extend plays beyond what he should have (take a short loss vs. a big loss or turnover). Better decision making. When he did run, it was generally the best choice.

Tommy didnt throw the ball 48 times and the offense didnt rely on his decision making....I hope this is the offense going forward...POWER FOOTBALL=NEBRASKA FOOTBALL

Threw it out of bounds when he was pressured and limited passing relying mostly on the run.

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

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

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 🎈

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.

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.

Different backs have skills for different situations.
