If Armstrong JR doesn't chuck bombs under pressure which are slightly more effective than punting on first down....And if Poopoocheese doesn't coach the D

Dirk Schlicht

There should be big chips on the players' shoulders. When a well liked coach leaves the team usually performs well in support. USC also doesn't play hard the whole game. They are beatable.

Players will play inspired i believe

Mike Myers

They will play loose and motivated to win it for Pride and a Pelini

Jeff Gronewold

They will work hard to end the year positively!

Deanne Brown

I think we would beat USC with any coach. OUR KUNG FU IS STRONG!

Nik Bjelland-Miller

There will be some extra motivation to win one last one for Bo.

Stephen Johnson

It all depends on which Nebraska team shows up on game day.

James Key

Too many injuries, and it's almost a home game for USC.

I just don't have confidence that the coaches will have this team prepared well enough to play to this team's full potential. They teach these kids to think and not react. Always a step behind. Also evidenced by a lack of playing using basic fundamentals. Also because TA can't hit the broadside of a barn.

Need Bo. Great group of coaches and players destroyed by change

Ron Huffman

Year after year. ..changes and improvements should have been obvious. .every player should have been a huge difference. ..instead of a small handful. .

Losing Pelini has deflated them too much

Greg Booker

Big game. Bad outcome

Bob Dickson

Isnt it obvious?

Visitor

They lack execution and motivation. The coaches don't know how to make half time adjustments and they will not pull the starters no matter how bad they are doing.

James Traut

USC demonstrated a lot of team speed versus Notre Dame. McNeese State players noted the Huskers' lack of speed.

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

Too many distractions on the NU side to stay focused on USC.

Visitor

Same team, same system...

Bonnie Guy

I'd have voted this way whether Coach Pelini was gone or not - based on what I saw this year, I just don't think this team hangs with USC, especially as this is virtually a home game for the opponent, Hopefully Ameer is healthy, and Randy, but we'll see.

Wednesday Punk

Not to be a negative Nellie, but i just don't think they will hang with USC for more than a qtr (maybe)..Not a lot of motivation for this one i dont believe.....Ill watch, but, not expecting much. GBR!

Gordon Sherman

Duh

Lane Liley

First off it is USC at home. Second, although I believe there is enough motivation for the players, they are still smarting from the change. I suspect that they will put up a fight at first and then when things get real tough, they will fold as their heart probably isn't there.
