The UCLA pass offense will be too much for NU slower DBs & LBs, hence the DL will be spread out to help against passing and susceptible to the UCLA rushing offense.

With a Top 10 rushing defense, the Huskers can make an opponent one dimensional.

We have stopped the run all year...come out with a purpose and put pressure on qb and we can win this game!

Dan Cubrich

Since West Coast Riley will be certain to allow Armstrong to pass 40 to 50 times, as usual he'll be the key for Nebraska to win or lose this game. Going by what we saw this season, Tommie will throw a few picks, which will lead to another loss.

Robert Dodd

if the (D) plays like they can, that Paul guy could have a longgg afternoon!!

Stephen Johnson

They have done a decent job all year against the run.

Robert Hutsell

They will make UCLA 1 dimensional...hope the pass defense is ready for a future NFL quarterback. Could be embarrassing.

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.

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.

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
