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.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
