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

Steve Feye

can win if we don't have the ball

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

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!

Eric Johnson

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.

Ron Rangel

40+-3 when even or winning turnover margin for Bo

Ron Bauer

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

Brent Alderman

No brainer

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.

Will Stevenson

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

Mark Champ

we have to protect the ball...just look at the stats from last year's game...

Arlie Rauch

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

Lamont Barrientos

Last year

Patrick Nelson

gotta be perfect with the ball no turnovers and create turnovers

T David Andrew M

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

Rick Keane

without a doubt, its the turnovers that defeat Nebraska.

Good job. A lot of good players and a lot from Nebraska

Dick Plock

We are moving the roster and trying to get better! Thanks for hiring Coach Rhule, Trev!!!

Chuck Bolder

Think they did very well considering the time they had to get er done!

Kevin Hilyard

I thought we did really well with the defensive and offensive line, plus the most in-state recruits since 98!

Michael Graham

Top 25 is good.

Scott Thomsen

In short order, Coach Rhule and staff put together a top 30 class. That's a great result for the short time they had to work with. My only pain point was losing Earnest Hausman to Michigan through the transfer portal.

Thomas Wright

Ernnie's lose ! Besides, Rhule is replacing him with some 4 & even 5 star recruits out of Florida. Ernest WHO ? GBR !!!

College football has become a swinging door of opportunity. Don't let the knob hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!

Thomas Wright

Amen Scott … probably should’ve never been playing for us in the first place then ! Who wants unloyal (especially Nebr. native) players anyway …. Can’t wait til kick their A$$ when we play against em ! lolololol

Linda Ogren

Only one player seen time, so should get better

Wade Williams

That's just part of the deal now with the portal, particularly after a coaching change. People may not care too much for it but we better all get used to it because it's not going anywhere.

Jerry Johnson

If they enter transfer portal, they are not willing to work, and play tough. Let them go elsewhere

Dan Benedict

The new staff needs the freedom to get the players that will fit their system. The kids that leave or stay away are no guarantees either.

john brandon

Rhule only wants young men who wish to be at Nebraska ... as simple as that.

Mike Knust

It's the new era that College Sports is in. It happens to every team. It's like NFL free-agency free for all.

Tom Hedlund

They chose to leave, and that's fine. We want players who want to be at Nebraska.

Patrick O'Brien

Coach Rhule needs to build his own team. Players that transfer shouldn't be there anyway.

Stuart Fagan

This is normal for a coaching change. I get it. But I do think that they'll regret leaving as time passes.

James Wyatt

We will find other players who will want to play for Nebraska and all the new coaches! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!!!

Michael Graham

None of them will end up trading up.

Larry Smith

In the spring the head coach and assistants will start their work. They, in effect, will ride the horse upon which they came, the players on the field. It is up to the coaches to either develop those players or to fail. We will see the result in August.

Brian Machan

With the coaching changes, its only prudent for players to re-evaluate their decisions to make sure its best fit for them. If I was a father of a player, i would encourage the re-evaluation process and if they re-commit, Great! Otherwise best of luck to both sides.

Tim Brunswick

Not as of today ( 12/15/22)...But time will tell..Ask us in another 3 weeks...

Gene Baker

I have a lot of confidence in Matt Rhule. And his ability to develop players.
