I am in between on this one but I thought the comeback showed lots of character and guts. I am with Riley - the team really competes. I just don't think this year's team has all the pieces in place. I don't really fault anyone in particular - not enough of an expert to say how to fix it.

What happened the first half, not sure could have been the climate change having relatives in Fla, I know what it is like this time of year. But, they showed they could last the 60 minutes while Miami began to crap out.

adjustments are keys to success. Games aren't aways going to go as planned early. The resolve to fight, unlike last year's Wisconsin game, and the know how to make adjustments - again unlike last year will help

They certainly never stopped fighting, nice to see...unfortunately that doesn't win games and they will still go 6-6 at best this year

People are WAY over reacting. These were gonna be two of our hardest games all year and we barely lost. BYU has proved their worth and kayaa is probably the best passer we see all year

I STILL have great confidence in this staff and it definitely was a learning moment for many of the players and especially Armstrong. I feel terrible for the young man but I think he grew up in the game.

Last couple of years it was "we can't adjust in game or at the half." Now these adjustments are made and everyone is upset. Hey, no one said this was going to be easy.

We only got back in it because Miami thought it was over and could not turn it back on.

Still no pass defense. Non-existent pass rush and DBs who can't cover.

The only reason the huskers came back in Q4 is because Miami took their foot off the gas. The Huskers are the team in quarters 1, 2, 3.

Same as before slow starts. Riley to old to turn around a program headed the wrong direction.

Besides avoiding an epic Bo like embarrasment, the come back doesn't mean anything. Miami got so far ahead of us that they took their foot off the pedal and allowed us to make it close. When both teams were playing as hard as they could, Miami completely dominated us.

I rather show heart than get destroyed. We gave ourselves a chance to win at least. If we hadnt shot ourselves in the foot with penalties and drops first half is close too

Will Fred Hoiberg's Huskers still be undefeated when the calendar flips to February?

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

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.
