probably so, but what is sad is that we are celebrating last second so called miracles to beat Mcneese State and Northwestern,, that alone is embarrassing in my opinion but as long as we are part of the pathetic 10 conf I doubt we will see much improvement, the coaches we have are more into being "Hip" and fads than looking into real Nebraska football.. Nebraska needs it's Identity back and much of that identity was found in the fact that we were unique in what we did and we need that to stay near the top as we will NEVER get the very top talent year in and year out as the warmer weather states do, so our uniqueness would help keep us a top competitor.. just my thoughts

Jim Jones

the odds were in the Huskers favor...

Keith Petrie

I tend to think so!

Johnny Joyce

I would like to think we would have won in overtime but I hope this is a wake up call for the entire team that you have to bring it the entire game against EVERYONE!!

McNeese had all the momentum and would have won in OT.

not the way we were playing, we were outplayed and out-coached, especially out coached since preparation is a function of the coaches more so then the players. I hope the coaches learned more than the players about mind set and preparation than the players did on this one.

Jeff Jarren

Because we suck and our once proud program has now been relegated to debating cute nicknames and pondering whether or not we would have beaten an FCS opponent without the play of said nickname.

The Huskers had no answer for McNeese St.

Because someone has to be able to make up for the terrible coaching and recruits on this team!!

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 🎈

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.
