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.

bjb1959

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.

I have been waiting 30+ years for this, All Red looks Bad Ass!!! GBR!!

Thomas Wright

“ GO BIG RED “ 🏈 ❗️

Steve Sorensen

Because they look awesome!

Kit Goodwin

We are Big Red!

Christopher Benson

Change is good.

James Schneider

Red baby Red!

Bob Crisler

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

PJ SAid

Why the Hell Not? God Bless everyone. Lets enjoy the game, get our minds off what is happening in the world. GBR

Kevin Ruppert

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Joe Putjenter

If that's what the kids wanted, I'm cool with it. I don't like it myself

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Joe Nigro

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Joe Hegarty

We love the Red & White

Roy Bishop

Alternates only for night games.

Roger Moellendorf

NU always loses when they wear all red or all black.

Why?

Danny Brown

It's too much, we look like popsicles

McV0id

Matching colors no bueno

Ron Graf

Too many losses wearing all red

Robert Lloyd

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

John Sheeley

Just not a fan. Makes it look like Indiana

Ron Petersen

Looks like pajamas.

Is the 34½-point spread against Akron about right?

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

Brad Bredenkamp

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

PJ SAid

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

Patrick O'Brien

We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

William Osler

They are not a good team yet. Much work to do.

Alan Portsche

To many issues to fix

VAHuskerFan

There is NOWAY they will cover, there just not that good, atleast at this point.

David Weaver

Not convinced yet

Melvyn Halfon

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

Danny Brown

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

Ed Starke

It's hard to beat any team by that big of a margin.

McV0id

Defense needs more time to cook

George mcdaniel

Around 21 points
