Considering we don't have an identity for the offense, coupled with new coaches this has to be the biggest question mark going into 2015. QB questions, running backs, receivers and now likely TE's in the mix it will be interesting what gets rolled out on September 5th.

Gene Baker

Who will be the next starting QB? This is the biggest question the Huskers have this season.

Matt Maxwell

Defense will be simplified and will let the horses run. Offense is about timing, and comfort in a system.

Seems that Riley and staff know more about offense than defense. Not sure what to make of the defense, but I felt that the Pelini ran defense required NFL caliber talent, and it was much too complicated. If it's simplified, I think our defense can be a strength. I just have more questions on this side of the ball scheme-wise. Offense I'm completely optimistic.

Tony Dahlgren

Too thin at linebackers and defensive end.

Stephen Johnson

Because the D coordinator has a poor history of performance

Faye Cook

Great defense wins game. More so than great offencse. The gret defense keeps th e other team out of th end zone.No scoring against your team.

Stacy A Rodenbaugh

You can have an average offense and still win a championship as long as you have a great defense! Defense wins championships!

We have talent in the room. They will have the same learning curve that Emmett had. He was an average back at the beginning of last season and look how he blossomed. That said, if a solid back is available, take him of course

Bill Scheef

Nebraska is a 3rd Tier team in the BIG 10 and an after thought nationally and our expectations for recruiting should reflect that. With the powers in the BIG 10 nationally Nebraska's "good old days..." are just. Swept into the dust bin of what once was...Sorry, but...it's the truth as I see it.

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17
