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

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.

Will Cortez Mills be a game-changer at wide receiver in 2025?

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Roland St.Denis

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

John Hoie

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

Why not... at least we can hope during the off-season. We are Nebraskans after all.

Michael Hoffart

Next season would be the season to do it. Pretty good set up schedule wise and we SHOULD have the talent to make it happen.

James Key

At least 8 Wins if no glaring issues.

A B

1. look at MR history. 2. Look at how MR's aggressiveness at improving coaching and roster. 3. the team has been learning how to win and we are positioned for a break through. 4. Dylan Raiola!!!

Passing game will click.

David Dahlkoetter

Better depth. Offensive line needs to improve and will Defense looks awesome. Qb play will be better. Better widouts.

James McDermott

The schedule favors the huskers. The team seems to finally have the finishing attitude

Mike O

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

I can't do it! I can't say it. Husker fans have been burned too many times. PROVE IT FIRST! GBR!

Isaiah Skrdla

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

Dave Levesque

I've been let down too many times.

Roger Shriver

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
