Will Ameer Abdullah lead the B1G in rushing this season?

It's his year. Ameer finished 2nd in carries/3rd in yards among returning B1G rushers last season. He will get the attempts, and has a great schedule (and line) in front of him.

Ameer is a beast. His ability to juke combined with his speed makes him difficult to tackle

Ron Bauer

He is the better running back.

Weber Pat Scott

We must consistently go with our best horse if Ameer is healthy. No more saving anyone for the future. We haven't won 'anything' substantial since 1999. That's unacceptable for Nebraska Football.

David French

Nebraska will have one of the best Offensive Line in the nation and Abdullah is a great back. Combine the 2 and you have a leading rusher in the B1G.

Jeremiah David Conrad

the quickest back and the best in the big 10!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joshua Robinson

the threat of martinez will make him the second threat on the team...any other big ten team he would be threat number 1

Stephen Johnson

Given Nebr. runs a one back offense, he will get most all the carries as long as he stays healthy. Also, I think the offensive line will be better this year,

Joshua Howard

Cuz its true!

He won't get the attempts with a very deep Husker I-back corps. Venric Mark or Braxton Miller have a better shot at the B1G rushing title.

Matthew Pelton

He is most likely one of the top backs, but he will split to much production with others in the offense. Look for a team like Wisconsin to produce the leading rusher.

Lonny Cooper

Huskers have too many weapons as compared to V. Mark from Northwestern for example. Martinez, Cross, Taylor, Newby, etc.

Cameron Snell

Venric marc. Even though Ameer is a better back.....

Mark Walker

Adam Taylor will, 2nd coming of Billy Sims

Ed Starke

To many running backs to get enough carries

Allen Bishop

He'll end up splitting time with Cross and others. Offence is "multiple" and attempts to be 50/50 run/pass.

Chris Dahmke

Not for the lack of skill, but for the simple fact that we have Imani Cross as well as other backs that will share time and snaps.

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.

klirvine@bresnan.net

we need an offence

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

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
