Paul F Edwards

He may not be as purely talented, but there is nothing but winning in Scott Frosts veins. He is a champion. That is why he'll be a fantastic head coach too. He is a winner. Simple as that.

Chuck Buchholz

Crouch could beat you with his legs but Frost was the best leader and the toughest.

Tony Bunting

Both were great, but Frost could do everything Crouch did and was more of a leader.

Randy Weitzenkamp

I'd go with Frost as he was a fierce competitor who wasn't afraid to run someone over when necessary. The national championship was icing on the cake. Why wasn't this Frazier vs Frost?

Alan Pattee

Actually I would do it Tommie Frazier

Ruben Ernesto Sandoval

Agree, no offense but they're competing for second place after Touchdown Tommy.

Ron Joseph

Scott for leadership qualities, drive and toughness. While Eric was the better runner, Scott was the better option QB.

Gene Baker

Scott Frost was just the better athlete and competitor. He the one with the undeafeated season and National Championship.

Randy Austin

I believe he had just a little more drive

Jazzy Jimmins

Leadership!

Frank Johnson

Could have picked either one and been happy. Scott wasn't as fast but I do believe he was the tougher runner.

Dave

One stat matters most.

Livio S Nespoli

He is a born winner who would do anything to win or help his team. Play offense or defense and do it well.

Wes Thrun

tough call for me, Scott Frost just had or has an attitude about him, he ran angry. I guess the question i would have is what would crouch have done with that 97 offensive line and coach Osborne

Eric Crouch had to carry the load of the offense. Scott was good too, but had better support and more weapons. Eric was faster, quicker as a runner, better instincts on the option. He also had better arm strength. Scott was bigger and stronger as a runner, a more vocal leader though. Close call

Doug Miller

Tough call but Crouch with his legs.

Patrick Ryan

They were both terrific, but if we are comparing players (not teams) - it isn't very close. Eric Crouch could carry a team; he wasn't just 'fast' - he was tough and had a great will to win.

Don Wagner

He was a rocket!!

Doug Daubert

Scott had a better team around him. I believe Crouch was the better athlete and overall quarterback. I would pick him as my QB. Now compare to Gill, Gdowski, Taylor, Frazier...

James Barnett

If Crouch played for Osborne he'd have had even a better career. Not knocking Solich but it was clear the team fell off after Tom Os' departure.

Greg Muller

I guess Tommy F, is assumed to be preferred choice over either Frost or Crouch?

Patrick Ryan

These are impossible questions, but Turner Gill is my all time favorite. He changed the position at Nebraska, and had the ideal combination of elusiveness, toughness, leadership, and passing skills.

Don Buckingham

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.

we need an offence

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.
