Toughness will get you through the season. One good hit will kill your speed in an instant.

I know we need speed to win but I'm old school and still think our game needs to win in the trenches. Then open it up with speed.

I think with physicality the speed comes, actually. These days, you recruit speed (which is what the staff seems to be doing) then build them up. Make them physical to go along with that speed.

Michigan,Wisconsin,and Iowa all kind of pushed the Huskers around last year on defense as well as offensively. Nebraska needs too get back to being the bullies of old time,and not only physically but

Toughness really shows up late in the game. The tougher team can wear down the opposition and dominate late.

Speed is important but not as much as good physical offensive and defensive lines. That's where the games are won and lost

Big 10 teams like Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Iowa have physically pushed the Huskers around on both sides of the ball. It is time to return to Husker dominance on the line of scrimmage!!!!

Its the big10 so physicality is a must. See xamples of iowa and wiscy they didnt beat us w speed. Plus power football establishes a certain mindset and identity we have lost

Wear the opponent down. Speed is great, but they can't catch you anyway when they can't get off the ground

Strength and stamina we got away from since our past winning ways. To see other teams tougher and stronger than us is unacceptable. Physicality is what we need to build around.

The defense was slow last year. You can't hit them hard unless you can catch them.

I agree...but I believe the staff is recruiting speed and building them up, so I think all is well.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
