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.

the team fought back and didn't give up...if they can learn from this get out there and win

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.

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

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.

He seems more than just a mobile QB, he plays with abandon and spunk. Why wasn't he here right out of high school? But how could we have lost Ekeler? Have we turned into the dumbest program in America?

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.
