To quote Bo Pelini; nothing is more demoralizing to an opponent that running the ball effectively

Between the 2 factors, it's the only 1 that we have any real control over.

We would have beaten MSU last year if we hadn't turned the ball over 5 times! That was due mostly to inexperience. It's somewhat different this year! Armstrong has been under fire and seems to be doing much better. He needs to stay calm. Our Players need to go into this game with a chip on their shoulder. We're NEBRASKA! MSU isn't any different than any other team we play! We need to dominate! Shove it right down their throat! Go Big Red!

Rushing yards won't be easy to come by - but they won't for MS either. Play mistake-free ball and we have a chance.

Haven't seen any team yet to win a game with multiple turn-overs.

Turnovers, usually a team that is +1 over their opponent wins. There is a NFL spreadsheet that is talked about on talk radio that has the exact stats. The gist is 90% of the time the team that doesn't turn the ball over and gains a turn over wins. NU needs no turn overs and MSU could help us out by having 2.

Without a doubt.... The rushing yards don't mater if we have a bunch of turnovers.... (see 2013)

A turnover can cancel the effect of many yards. Let's force turnovers while not allowing our own. Let the effect work for us.

Simplicity, if you can demoralized with turnovers and capitalize on opportunities, then the % chance of win increases.

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

Why not... at least we can hope during the off-season. We are Nebraskans after all.

Next season would be the season to do it. Pretty good set up schedule wise and we SHOULD have the talent to make it happen.

1. look at MR history. 2. Look at how MR's aggressiveness at improving coaching and roster. 3. the team has been learning how to win and we are positioned for a break through. 4. Dylan Raiola!!!

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
