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

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.

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.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

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.
