Danny Baker

Want to see what the new offense will look like.

Craig Casper

Because it has the biggest opportunity to suck.

David Moore

Passing scheme and how the running game looks will be what's meaningful. Linebacker may be as big an issue, but how they fair against our offense isn't necessarily indicative of performance against other teams.

Buster Crabb

Theoretically the defense will be further along, but I want to see where Riley is taking the bus.

Kevin Hamilton

Interested in seeing solid consistency on both sides of the ball.

Robert Lloyd

This always seems more difficult for a new system and for it to jell quickly. I want to see a great running game develop and an assortment of QBs to look at. Is Nabity (splg?) going to break into the rotation? And most importantly... will they run on first down? If not, it will be a long season.

I just can't wait to see how our D does in a simplified system that turns them loose. I think it will be a good thing

Christian Bengel

It's obvious how much impact the defense can have, just look back at the 2009 Huskers. The offense was horrible, but the defense nearly won us the conference championship.

If your defense is so good they score more consistently than an offense, things are good...Playstation Coaching 101

Faye Cook

A great defense can save the game for an not so great offense. stop the other guy from scoring, and you win, win, win.

Matt Maxwell

I just want to see them fly around and make plays. Go Blackshirts!

Kris Kazlauskas

I am excited about the development of the quarterbacks, but I want to see a defense that doesn't suffer blowout losses.

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.
