"There are a personalities from that era: the consummate winner Tommie Frazier, the beloved backup Brook Berringer, the passionate leadership of Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter, the hard-working in-state walk ons, the list goes on. And never forget legendary coach Tom Osborne transforming from the guy who couldn't win the big one to one of the greatest coaches in college football history."

any pub is good pub, you have to be in the news to get noticed, kids don't care about what ESPN says, they won't consider NU if they never hear of them. Of course a nice write up is what we all want, but the only way to fix this is to start winning again, GO BIG RED!!!

Jeff Barker

Im 50/50 on the subject... and only voted yes because ME as a fan would love to watch this episode. But I never trust ESPN when it comes to Nebraska. They have always found ways to screw us, talk bad about us, etc.. I feel like they will bring up more negatives then positives.

Peter Campbell

There is nothing ESPN can dredge up that isn't already known by people who still care enough about college football. It will show a program that was once not only relevant, but elite. Any team worth its salt for as long as ours was is bound to have some skeletons. We were STILL the best ever!

All publicity is good

Terry M Young

A lot of great storylines to go along with a summary of just how dominant the '95 team was.

Rick Klatt

I'm usually not on the fence when it comes to my opinions but I find myself looking for the not sure button. I hope that the production keeps everything in perspective when it comes to the great things NU was able to accomplish as well as those things that we're not so proud of.

Joshua Howard

It has the potential to air some bad laundry but I think that would be good for the program.

John Grabouski

The proof will be in the pudding. Ask this same question a year after it premieres. It is history...a history we are proud of....overall. Yes, their are some skeletons in the closet. A lot of kids gave their all.....yes, including LP. The story should be told. Objective?..I havent said that.

Jerry Williams

Everyone knows that bad, it was a long time ago and what was was. It will also show a great team.

"Nebraska 30 for 30 will likely focus on the things that darken that period. Lawrence Phillips. Christian Peter. Tyrone Williams. Riley Washington. The tension between Tommie and Brook. Tom Osborne becoming a "win at all costs" coach. CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg. Scott Frost campaigning for a title after Osborne's retirement. Where Scott Frost was rumored to be the night Phillips was arrested. The decline of the program after Osborne left. Who knows what other skeletons and whispered rumors may come to life that would cast a permanent shadow over an era that Nebraska fans consider sacred?" Show Less

Don't trust ESPN when it comes to the Huskers

bjb1959

I don't think it will be a focus on the team. I think it is an excuse to document Lawrence Phillips issues. I don't believe they will focus on the team effort.

Justin Carper

There is no way a rah-rah Nebraska piece is interesting to the general ESPN audience. They'll go negative to get ratings.

Don Buckingham

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.
