I think the kids can find the resolve within themselves to find a way to win. They are in a place where they play this game for team and not needing to prove anything to coaches who are gone after Saturday. That alone should provide incentive to play to win with whatever it takes.

Gordon Sherman

Because we're under dogs

John Lind

wishful thinking, hoping they want to end the pelini era in style with a win.....

Keith Petrie

I can't pick against the Huskers!

Only because Beck is calling the plays. I do believe overall, the players are going to be both super charged and at the same time play more relaxed without the mentally deranged Pelini blaming everyone but himself. Hint for Beck: Run on first down until they can stop us. Only then do we mix it up. But always run on first down.

Billie Mann

They appear to be better balanced on offense than the huskers, hope I am wrong.

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

Too many distractions for the Huskers.

James Traut

Same reason as in a previous poll: USC has too much team speed, especially on defense. Witness ND game results.

Arlie Rauch

Too many advantages on the field. Stats win.

If they are coming to NU "now". It can only help. Maybe run a "slanting" defense and catch them "off guard"!!! Stuff the "run"!!! GBR!!!

michael Gormley

Only one way to go…!!

Husker Man60

Only up from here. Good to have a system for a team and not just a few players.

PJ SAid

On the defense I think you will increased intensity, like 2024. The offense line coaching should have been changed sooner, at least Rhule got someone with experience and proven quality development & execution.

Robert Lloyd

Just not confident in Matt anymore. Why he makes millions of $ and has now had 7 coordinators and it's everybody else's fault and he keeps his job?. I've been a fan since the early 60s and now am more concerned about the program than ever before.

We have talent in the room. They will have the same learning curve that Emmett had. He was an average back at the beginning of last season and look how he blossomed. That said, if a solid back is available, take him of course

Bill Scheef

Nebraska is a 3rd Tier team in the BIG 10 and an after thought nationally and our expectations for recruiting should reflect that. With the powers in the BIG 10 nationally Nebraska's "good old days..." are just. Swept into the dust bin of what once was...Sorry, but...it's the truth as I see it.
