The Huskers hung around in games last season and should be better this year. http://athlonsports.com/college-football/5-reasons-why-nebraska-big-ten-wests-sleeper-team-2016

Seriously?? Anyone thinking another year with the same coaching staff won't help a team is just hating on the program. The disease of the transition is mostly gone. It certainly won't be an undefeated season and a National Championship but it will definitely be a good year!

the answer depends upon if the staff learned anything in their first year. Not convinced that they did.

Last years performance did not leave me feeling as though there is much hope for this year with the people who went pro or graduated.

Stephen Douglas

They are a proven 500 tlstaff. OSU never did anything great

A pro-style offense requires too much coveted tallent for Nebraska to truly be successful running it. Alabama and USC can recruit that tallent but nebraska never has and in my opinion we never will. We need to be a niche team on the cutting edge of a new system if we want to return to greatness.

What should define Nebraska’s running back room heading into 2026?

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.
