Because it shows that the coaches of this team have no clue what they are doing.

Dan Cubrich

Because recruits can see what most Nebraska fans can see, and that is Pelini is really good at yelling, but not coaching.

Wednesday Punk

I don't think it hurts recruiting so much when taken simply as a "loss" as it does kids not wanting to play for this lunatic, and parents agreeing with them.

Visitor

Bo Pelini is not fun to play for in games when he scowls and yells till he is blue in the face. He should be calling plays to win the game and keep calm and so keep players calm.

Sean Fluharty

After watching the Nebraska game vs. Wisconsin, would YOU want to play for Nebraska? Even old Husker players (in the NFL and elsewhere) were saying how embarrassing this week was going to be at work.

Drew

Best players want to play for championships and they sure don't want to be associated with regular embarrassments like this.

Robert Hegler

Not just yes, but HELL YES!

The recruits will see that they might get a chance to play really soon.

Sandman

It won't do near the damage on recruiting that coaching would cause! I think the team could use a visit from Dr. Stark!

Kevin Bolin

Players - especially on the D side will think they can come help right now!!

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.
