TCU's defense sucks ... NU HAS a physical and fast defense .... that'll be the difference in this game ... we'll pound the rock on them and Sims will throw more short and quick passes so I say 27-23 NU

Paul Nielsen

College ball still emotional. Colorado coming off big win over a questionable defense, NU coming off winnable loss against good defense and a better offense than is being talked about. GBR

James Stiver

If we play good defense and run the football with controlling the clock we should come out with a victory!

Michael Hoffart

I would like to believe that our D can come up big and keep their playmakers from gashing us. If we can get pressure on their QB I think we stand a good chance. Our run game should be able to churn clock and keep the ball out of their hands.

Doug Einsel

There was no D in the CU-TCU game. I see our D standing up. Only question will turnovers/penalties get us again. GBR

Bud Chapin

Game 2 and Colorado will be very cocky beating a very overrated TCU. Our defense in all essence is much stronger than TCU.

Bud Chapin

38-24 Huskers

Mike Conyers

Huskers learn from 1st game and execute fundamentals better. Will up the run game against a porous D line and burn clock.

Robert Lloyd

Someday we are bound to get lucky.

Same old sad story. Huskers will make a host of dumb mistakes and stumble their way to another loss. CU 38 - Huskers 7.

David Cole

We're doomed until we can get a handle on our turnovers

Corey

Because the team room doesn't have any talent.

Corey

In all fairness, Deion's room won't be at Colorado if they hit in the 9 win room this year. So there's that....room.

Corey

Coaching room changes but the game results room never changes. That means that the team room is the problem. No talent. Until the talent room changes the results room is always going to be the same......room.

Corey

When did room replace the letter s? RBs, TEs, QBs. RB room. TE room. QB room. OL room. Kicking room.....room room.

Corey

Or any rooms for that matter.

Buffs by 4TDs, after watching the Minnesota game and lack of offense and our Quarterback play, I don’t see a bowl game in our near future.

Todd Finkle

no contest

Rob Robertson

I believe Colorado has to much speed and an edge in QB play

Gregg Smith

Too much offense.

Thomas Wright

I think I threw up my kool-aid, sorry.

Patrick O'Brien

Our offense just isn't ready yet. The defense might keep it from being a blowout. 31 - 17 Buffs...

Todd Marshall Eckert

Their offense vs. our defense is going to score more points than our offense vs. their defense.

Paul Nielsen

Not sure about that so I say using that logic it’s a tossup, though who would have thought Prime’s approach would work so quickly. Very interesting experiment.

Garrick Baxter

We are thin everywhere and nearly one-dimensional on offense. Hartzog got beat badly on Minnesota's 4th down TD. Speed kills. CU wins, just because we're Nebraska.

lane liley

Huskers look like the same anemic self. Not sure how we overcome the 20+ years of dilution. Buffs will trounce us.

Terry Darnall

If Sims is Quarterback NU will lose! If Ruhle doesnt make changes we will not win 6 games and we will not go to bowl game!

Joe Hegarty

We can't stop them

david mellott

We suck on offense

Jim Moore

Colorado has more talent at skill positions especially on offense.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

First game we showed we still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and so I do not expect anything different until they prove different, Buffs by 14

Chris Rierson

Nothing I saw from the Huskers show that they can beat what the Buffs had on the field

Jim Firnhaber

Buffs skill players and NU propensity for turnovers: 35-31 CU (Hope I'm wrong)

Harold Grimes

I watched Colorado / TCU. Colorado has way too much talent, and speed. QB and receivers are out of this world. Colorado Defense is suspect which leads to Nebraska's only hope. Colorado by 30.

Jason Opp

Buffs have two many playmakers with speed. NU offense lacks consistency and turnover prone

Jon Petersen

Even if the defense plays a good game and keeps the score close, the offense will blow it somehow. CU 34, NU 16

Corey

The Duke room is hanging tough with the Clemson room right now.

Corey

Yes the offense room has major issues. The defense room won't hold up in the high altitude even though they are in much better shape compared to last year's room.

Anthony Carr

The Husker offense is currently a hot mess. They will not be able to outscore the Buffs.

Corey

62-3

Corey

Because we have no tight end room. Or no room room for that matter. Why can't they just leave the room off and call it tight ends? Does each position group actually have a room?

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.

klirvine@bresnan.net

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.
