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.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

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?

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

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.

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?

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

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!

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

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.
