Hard to replace the veteran experience but one has to question why at this point afraid of the hard work required by a true D-line coach?

Michael Sandstrom

The No side believes that this will not hurt due to the fact that his heart was not in it. This is correct, but he was still with his size, ability, and experience better than the youngsters we will trot out there. Undoubtedly, this will temporarily hurt our defensive line performance.

Dan Cubrich

It's now going to take until next season to see a good rushing defense. If certain players don't want to work hard, why did they even play football then?

John H. Jepsen

Leaves us pretty young and without much depth. Looks like we have some good "young ones" but they will have to come along quickly.

anytime you lose a senior leader that, by all accounts, was having a great spring it will hurt. hopefully only short term though as the young talent ramps up. development is key.

Tristan Lyne

Three year starter cannot be replaced instantly and it will slow the growth of the defense.

Isaiah Skrdla

We are getting pretty thin and young at d-tackle(d-line as a whole really). Our strength from last year may become our weaknesses this year.

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Roland St.Denis

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

John Hoie

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

Why not... at least we can hope during the off-season. We are Nebraskans after all.

Michael Hoffart

Next season would be the season to do it. Pretty good set up schedule wise and we SHOULD have the talent to make it happen.

James Key

At least 8 Wins if no glaring issues.

1. look at MR history. 2. Look at how MR's aggressiveness at improving coaching and roster. 3. the team has been learning how to win and we are positioned for a break through. 4. Dylan Raiola!!!

Passing game will click.

Better depth. Offensive line needs to improve and will Defense looks awesome. Qb play will be better. Better widouts.

James McDermott

The schedule favors the huskers. The team seems to finally have the finishing attitude

Mike O

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

I can't do it! I can't say it. Husker fans have been burned too many times. PROVE IT FIRST! GBR!

Isaiah Skrdla

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

Dave Levesque

I've been let down too many times.

Roger Shriver

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
