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.
We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction
Reply
Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances

Toughness will get you through the season. One good hit will kill your speed in an instant.
ReplyI 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.
ReplyI 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.
ReplyI like big hits and I cannot lie...
ReplySpeed kills, but Power kills and leaves a mark!
ReplyI would accept a loss only if NU had some great hits. I just want more violence!
ReplyMichigan,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
ReplyWe have and will continue to have speed at skillpostions.
Replyin big ten, physicality is where the team is getting crushed.
ReplyThey are already pretty fast!
ReplyWe need both, but our recent lack of physicality has been more pronounced.
ReplyThe strongest team will rise to the top most of the time. Those national championship team were very physical.
ReplyYou'll have your speed for a longer time if you are physical.
ReplyThe games are won in the trenches...if you can’t win there, you can’t win!
ReplyIt is Nebraska Football
ReplySpeed is vital, but physicality is King! We are talking FOOTBALL
ReplyI want to see Warren Sapp gasping for air again. And I want to see Texas grabbing Suh and Crick trying to keep them off of their QB.
ReplyToughness really shows up late in the game. The tougher team can wear down the opposition and dominate late.
ReplySpeed is important but not as much as good physical offensive and defensive lines. That's where the games are won and lost
Reply3rd and 4th down, short yardage futility for the last 5 years.
ReplyBig 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!!!!
ReplyPhysicality Is Key But Speed Is Needed To
Replyduh
ReplyIts 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
ReplyWear the opponent down. Speed is great, but they can't catch you anyway when they can't get off the ground
Replyfalse choice we want fast and powerful
ReplyNeed both but it starts up front.
ReplyBecause
ReplyWe've got speed. In droves. What we need is toughness on BOTH lines of scrimmage.
ReplyStrength 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.
