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.

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 🎈

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.
