It was a called run play and QB was told not to throw. He needs to get hearing aids or get his ego in check.

Football 101. A 3 year starter has to know that he CANNOT risk an incomplete pass there.

Sure coaches take the responsibility, but fault? Yeah, that was Tommy. It happens.

If they really did call a run then why didn't the coaching staff bench Tommy on the next play. The next play was a pass yet again when they should have either kicked a field goal, punted, or ran the ball. The coaching unit pays lip service to the run. I was there and it was windy, passed all day.

First rule of leadership - it's always the boss' fault (in this case the coaches are the bosses). Call a play where there's no chance of it not being a run. It's all on the coaches.

A belly dive, QB draw, or FB trap would have simplified the play. Why put your lead blocker (TE) in motion before the snap. He forgot to go in motion. Tommy didn't make sure he went in motion to the correct spot, our RB said he thought it was a run. THREE mistakes - that's on coaching.

There were so many opportunities in the first 3 quarters that were not taken advantage of that the game never should have hinged on the 3rd down in the 4th quarter.

Coaches need to insure a win not let the players play pee wee football. when leading by 6 and Ill has just march down the field. the field goal was the best chance to secure the win or run pass option, PS any more decisions like that heads need to row.

I think it will be great for people who can afford going to a game and staying Lincoln. Hotel prices are ridiculous!

Well Overdue. I graduated in '96 and I do not think south side has been touched since then and it was rough then.

The stadium needs to be a comfortable and an enjoyable experience for our fans. It is time for an upgrade so Memorial Stadium can serve our state's team and fans in the future.

Far overdue for an upgrade. Better to do it sooner than later.

Our stadium, especially south stands where we had season tickets, is very uncomfortable and with no toilets. Stadium clearly needs an upgrade.

stop spending good money on a building that you cant fully modernize. spend 2.2 to2.6 times the $600m and build a brand new dome stadium with all the bling

We don't need a 600 million renovation, we need to learn to run on first down again.

Losing seats for the common, blue collar, middle income fans. They are the heart and soul of Nebraska Football.

The plan looks nice, but get to the level of where we are winning 8-9 on a regular basis first.

Cost too much and disagree with South stadium tear down and no need for walk way around in the stadium.
