I don't even understand this question, Ohio State is a better team, a better program, and a national power. Of course I would rather see Nebraska beat them.

Grambo🌽🏈☠️😎

I hate Ohio Fn State

Bob Berg

Picked Ohio state. More national exposure. And, we'll have Iowa s number soon enough.

Paul F Edwards

Iowa won on the last play last year. Which means this year we should beat them just because of improvement. But if we beat Ohio State, that will get so much more national attention, and respect.

Lyle Martin

Ohio is the big picture, Iowa is secondary

Colbey Hicks

If you beat Ohio State you'll should be able to beat Iowa.

Rich Tatum

They have a larger national presence with the fans & media.

Duke Fredricksen

Duh!! It's not just about the west, it's about the whole conference. Take down the current king and recruiting will skyrocket.

Mauro Peterson

Big win early in the season giving the team confidence and momentum.

George Hautzinger

If you can beat Ohio State, the national press will notice.

Richard Johnson

If we get OSU, then Iowa should not be a tougher win. Besides, who cares about Iowa?

Mauro Peterson

Haha! I like that

Losing to Iowa would be a worse loss then losing to Ohio State.

Alex Perry

We need to shut their mouths!!!

Valerie Gilmore

the road to Indy goes through IC, in this case for Iowa, the Ditch Chickens will be greeted in Lincoln, time to start taking control of the West. GBR!!

Mitch Bronston

This will determine the B1G west...if it comes to this...we'll get another crack at OSU in the champ game

Arlis Bartus

Don't want to see another loss to Iowa for the next 25 years

Tom Gilliand

To get to the Big 10 playoff.

Victor Beason

I agree beat Iowa meet OSU and beat them in the Championship if I have to make a choice. Beat them both no discussion.

Steve Vastine

Iowa is the stepping stone to Ohio State. Tired of hearing them pipe up in this border town.

Randy Weitzenkamp

1. Wins in the division mean a lot more that cross division wins. 2. On 11/29, Iowa is likely one of the teams in the B1G west battling for the division title. 3. I live 2 mile from the Iowa border.

Rowdy Cain

this is a no brainer answer...... Iowas in our division, A loss to Ohios St doesn't hurt as bad because they are normally ranked higher and in a different division and we play earlier in the year.

K. L. Krofta

Nebraska needs to get back to the level where we don't even talk about beating teams like Iowa each year. This game should become an automatic "W" each year for the Huskers.

Jason Coorts

Absolutely nauseated by the string of losses to the Hawkeyes. At least Pellini could beat them. Can stomach one more loss to OSU for now.

Gus Erdman

Beating Ohio State sounds pretty, but knocking off Iowa is MUCH more important for bowl game aspirations.

Edward Massey

A must win for huskers...will be exciting to see.

Arlie Rauch

It's necessary to beat them to win the west. Then go and beat the OSU.

David Steffen

because both wasn't an option

Carl Wiest

It's turned to a nasty rivalry and we need to put a boot on their throat.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

klirvine@bresnan.net

we need an offence

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
