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

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

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.

PJ SAid

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.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.

I think it will be great for people who can afford going to a game and staying Lincoln. Hotel prices are ridiculous!

Well Overdue. I graduated in '96 and I do not think south side has been touched since then and it was rough then.

Douglas Monson

The stadium needs to be a comfortable and an enjoyable experience for our fans. It is time for an upgrade so Memorial Stadium can serve our state's team and fans in the future.

Joseph Richling

Far overdue for an upgrade. Better to do it sooner than later.

John Reeb

Our stadium, especially south stands where we had season tickets, is very uncomfortable and with no toilets. Stadium clearly needs an upgrade.

stop spending good money on a building that you cant fully modernize. spend 2.2 to2.6 times the $600m and build a brand new dome stadium with all the bling

Robert Lloyd

We don't need a 600 million renovation, we need to learn to run on first down again.

Losing seats for the common, blue collar, middle income fans. They are the heart and soul of Nebraska Football.

KroGusLLC

The plan looks nice, but get to the level of where we are winning 8-9 on a regular basis first.

Leo Jelinek

Cost too much and disagree with South stadium tear down and no need for walk way around in the stadium.
