I think the players r gonna play pissed off n finally prove to the nation and the fans that they can get the job done when it counts

Ray J Gentry

Nebraska's defense has been trending up and our front line will do their job allowing the LBs and secondary to step up.

Stephen Johnson

They have no choice.

Danny Baker

I think Nebraska's run defense is much better this year. I worry about the pass defense.

Carl R Wiest

We will learn from past mistakes

Ron Bauer

Far too many "analysts" under-estimate NU's defense. ANY team can be beaten on any day.

Keith Petrie

they'd better! I think Nebraska has the edge in the passing Game and Special Teams. depending on Ameer's condition I'd say we're even in the running game. As far as Defense...DB's and Safety's we've got the edge. Backers and D Line Need to come in there with an Attitude! Hit the Badgers Hard and make them Hurt with that cold weather. GBR!

Thomas Williams

This time around as opposed to 2012 we are light years ahead in team speed enough that if they are stupid enough to try that sweep again? everytime they try it, it will result in loss of yardage. Wiscy is slow as hell as a team. Wiscy is not fast enough to beat us on the edge or anywhere on the field period

I love my Huskers and truly hope they bring their A Game and win. With that said, they've made it real clear, the last couple of years, that when on the big stage, they can't quite measure up and usually lose in embarrassing fashion. I fear Saturday will be no different. Still hoping they'll win though. GBR!!!

Same thing for the 7th season and every "big game". Nothing willl change the fans and media's perception until a Bo Pelini coached team proves it on the field. Nothing this year has demonstrated anything has changed. Nebraska's best doesn't show up week after week and there is no sign of consistent improvement. Take Ohio State as an example, they have improved significantly thru this season while Nebraska has been the same for 7 seasons. Isn't that at some level coaching? Where is the accountability of the coaches to demonstrate an ability to take this team to a higher level?

Sean Fluharty

Recent history has proven that Nebraska doesn't perform well under the bright lights against the big boys. Until they prove me wrong, I'll continue to be pessimistic about their chances in big games.

Lane B. Kent

even in the loss to Northwestern Gordon managed over 250 yards on the ground. We won'st stop their run. But if we can keep the out of the end zone and limit big plays through the air it won't matter.

Jason Free

I vote no, because I want to be proven wrong

Will Fred Hoiberg's Huskers still be undefeated when the calendar flips to February?

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Roy Katskee

They are living on borrowed time.

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 🎈

SEW

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.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.
