This was the more consistent side last year with strong receivers returning

Karla Gade

We seem to have more experience and explosive players on offense and I am looking forward to seeing what Mike Riley and Danny Langsdorf do with the talent.

Roger Noonan

Tommy Armstrong with the help of his wr's (best group in big ten) will win alott of games for nebraska this year late in the season when they need them most.

Danny Baker

More weapons on offense. Too many questions on defense.

Steve Feye

While it might not be dynamic, there is good talent and depth at receiver and more opportunity with the O-line than most give credit. The key will be quarterbacking, where i predict Darlington will overtake Armstrong at some point, and adaptability of the coaching staff to match talent with strate

Bill Miranda

3 year starter at QB.

Andy Fields

you suck

Damian Holmes

The defensive staff is less proven, personnel question marks at DE and depth issues at LB.

Mas Shara

Although the talent is good enough on the DL, we're thin at LB. Also, not sure about banker or at least more sure of MR & DL at least for now. We'll see, I am hoping that the days of Wisconsin blow-outs are a thing of the past

Because Tommy Armstrong does not play on the defence.

Kevin Hamilton

Players can play now, should be a big improvement!

Robert Lloyd

Going back to fundamental defense and getting rid of the complex garbage of Pelini. Big difference.

Ronald D. Bull

the defense will be more aggressive and attacking and different from the past which was less aggressive.

Isaiah Skrdla

I think that the simplified scheme will make the defense better early. The first string looks very talented. The lack of depth at some positions could hurt the d late however. Staying healthy will be important. A pro-style offense takes several years to perfect so I think there will be growing pains

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.

Visitor

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!
