Accounted for 4 TD's should be enough to win a game, although did have the costly interception.

We need to run the ball & hide our defense. We have to get 3rd & 1, 3rd & 3! If we had done that we don't have to rely on a weak D

Eric Farris

the o-line must improve

Stephen Johnson

A nebraska offense that cannot convert 3rd and 1 to 3 must be fixed.

Craig McClatchey

QB needs to go through the receiver progressions when passing. Some of our guys were WIDE OPEN at times.

Alan Blackburn

Improve the running game.

Mark-Andrew Reynolds

Offense must find an identity. Not a bad start though.

Millie J. Vrtiska

Need to improve the run game

You cannot give up 33 points and expect to win the game.

We scored enough to win but giving up over 500 yards really hurt.

Same old nu. All we hear about is 94-97. Well it's 2015. This staff won't be around for more than 5 -.500 years. Then we start over. Nu is an after thought. Nobody talks about us anymore. Nobody.

Ron Huffman

No pressure on the quarterback, bad pass coverage way to soft..

David MacKay

All we heard about was the attacking defense that was going to be used...sorry but I saw the same defense as I saw last year....field goal kicking game HAS to improve!

John Hofstetter

didn't make plays when we needed too. Need more pass rush and containment

Robert Hutsell

Defense needs experience

T David Andrew M

Only because 33 points were given away, and I couldn't comment on the offensive lines horrendous performance

Dan List

Too many big plays and not enough pressure on QB's.

Diego Rodriguez

Toss up, but we need to be great in one area and DL is the best shot. We were disappointing in this area considering the expectations.

Del Vanderbeek

NU did not defend the pass well enough, The corner backs need help and cannot stop 6'5 ends when they are less the 6'0.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
