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.

We need a complete overhaul of personnel. Coaching is there, talent isn't.

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.

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
