We have a lot of talent coming back on the defensive side of the ball and I like our young LB's. I think with an attacking style of D from our DL there will be more TO opportunities. I think Coach Riley is an experienced offensive coach and will play to the strenghts of the talent we have on O.

Ryan Scott Bordenkircher

Cuz I just love neb and I think he can do great thing there

John Ross Clark

Can't imagine Harbaugh resurrecting that train wreck that quickly.

Samuel Browning

Mike Riley, because he's getting a team with a winning record and Harbaugh not.

Steve Sharp

Riley's hitting all right notes so far, inherited a team that under-achieved, and already addressed its worst problem under Pelini: an overly complex defense that couldn't handle power running games. Also,Harbaugh is grossly overrated (Kaeprenick plateaued under Harbaugh, an ex-QB).

Michael Olson

not even going to let that first year Wisconsin coach be an option!

I think Harbaugh has a much better track record.

Stephen Johnson

Based upon the schedule nebraska will face.

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.

Roland St.Denis

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

John Hoie

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.

Michael Hoffart

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.

James Key

At least 8 Wins if no glaring issues.

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!!!

Joe Hegarty

Passing game will click.

David Dahlkoetter

Better depth. Offensive line needs to improve and will Defense looks awesome. Qb play will be better. Better widouts.

James McDermott

The schedule favors the huskers. The team seems to finally have the finishing attitude

Mike O

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.

I can't do it! I can't say it. Husker fans have been burned too many times. PROVE IT FIRST! GBR!

Isaiah Skrdla

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.

Dave Levesque

I've been let down too many times.

Roger Shriver

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.
