In the Big 10 if you can't run the ball you will not win very often.

A successful run game opens all sorts of opportunities. If you can't win the battle up front, no amount of scheming is going to help.

What I think is there should be a third choice here... get someone in there that can snap the ball. Everything is out of kilter if the snap is not proper. The whole play's timing is off.

If the running game does not improve, there is evidence that the offensive line is not getting their job done.

We’d need a complete offensive effort or Martinez is reading all the newspaper About how good he is

South Alabama had 44 carries for 83 yards. They did NOT "run it down our throats"--but I digress. WE need to be able to run the ball in order to stay out of 2nd and 3rd and long situations.

SA was running it right down our throat, we simply can't have that anymore.

When Maurice Washington entered the game things picked up. JD was invisible on offense. AM must present a passing threat for the run to succeed.

Because we have a qb and talent at receivers and tight ends to make it work.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
