1. Anything can happen on opening day with a new coach and system... 2. BYU has won opening games to good programs in the past. Just ask Oklahoma and Sam Bradford.... 3. Tysom Hill. He is similar to T-Mart. He could be very explosive if given room to run. Ask Texas. I may live in Utah, but I am a HUSKER and can't wait for this game!

Geraldo Boru Brew

Most concerned about the away game at Miami.

BYU in my # 2 team..... I know them well...So.Miss will be much easier

Ronald D. Bull

First Game questions will start to be answered about new defense and well the offense will be able to score against a highly respected team.

Tom Caniglia

Tough team

Gene Baker

BYU is a much better team.

Danny Baker

They can light it up in the air.

Mark Plotner

x2 on Miami. I really don't think either of these games should be close if we have our act together. And I'm counting on the new coaching staff to make that happen

Does the fact that this question even exists bother anyone else?

Samuel Browning

It has to fair across the board, from Fordham to Alabama. one monthly stipend for everyone, not just scholarship players. There has to be a limit on how many players all schools should abide by. Determine the national budget and every school must contribute.

Jacob Moseman

Compensation has always been tied to market value. These athletes are worth far more than they're being compensated, and that's been the case for over a century. Hence, they've been ripped off. I support salary, salary cap, and education on how to invest it in 401k style accounts.

Much more controllable, and much more equitable.

Everyone who already commented believes in the same thing I do.

Chuck Siegel

Compensation changes the entire dynamic of college athletics, and not in a positive way.

Robert Lloyd

They should be students and NOT professional athletes. If they want to get paid they can go pro. Personally, I believe they should cancel all sports in public schools and colleges though I love our Huskers.

Don Scott

Put myself through school in the 70's. They are getting for exchange of their athletic prowess what I had to work and save for. The two summers after high school I drove alfalfa trucks 12 hours a day 7 days a week. EARN IT!

Scott Ferguson

They already live better than most students. Free room and board, tutors, clothing, and actual education cost.

Dan List

They are compensated with room and board plus an education. The perks they get as athletes now are unbelievable!!!
