TCU's defense sucks ... NU HAS a physical and fast defense .... that'll be the difference in this game ... we'll pound the rock on them and Sims will throw more short and quick passes so I say 27-23 NU

Paul Nielsen

College ball still emotional. Colorado coming off big win over a questionable defense, NU coming off winnable loss against good defense and a better offense than is being talked about. GBR

James Stiver

If we play good defense and run the football with controlling the clock we should come out with a victory!

Michael Hoffart

I would like to believe that our D can come up big and keep their playmakers from gashing us. If we can get pressure on their QB I think we stand a good chance. Our run game should be able to churn clock and keep the ball out of their hands.

Doug Einsel

There was no D in the CU-TCU game. I see our D standing up. Only question will turnovers/penalties get us again. GBR

Bud Chapin

Game 2 and Colorado will be very cocky beating a very overrated TCU. Our defense in all essence is much stronger than TCU.

Bud Chapin

38-24 Huskers

Mike Conyers

Huskers learn from 1st game and execute fundamentals better. Will up the run game against a porous D line and burn clock.

Robert Lloyd

Someday we are bound to get lucky.

Same old sad story. Huskers will make a host of dumb mistakes and stumble their way to another loss. CU 38 - Huskers 7.

David Cole

We're doomed until we can get a handle on our turnovers

Corey

Because the team room doesn't have any talent.

Corey

In all fairness, Deion's room won't be at Colorado if they hit in the 9 win room this year. So there's that....room.

Corey

Coaching room changes but the game results room never changes. That means that the team room is the problem. No talent. Until the talent room changes the results room is always going to be the same......room.

Corey

When did room replace the letter s? RBs, TEs, QBs. RB room. TE room. QB room. OL room. Kicking room.....room room.

Corey

Or any rooms for that matter.

VAHuskerFan

Buffs by 4TDs, after watching the Minnesota game and lack of offense and our Quarterback play, I don’t see a bowl game in our near future.

Todd Finkle

no contest

Rob Robertson

I believe Colorado has to much speed and an edge in QB play

Gregg Smith

Too much offense.

Thomas Wright

I think I threw up my kool-aid, sorry.

Patrick O'Brien

Our offense just isn't ready yet. The defense might keep it from being a blowout. 31 - 17 Buffs...

Todd Marshall Eckert

Their offense vs. our defense is going to score more points than our offense vs. their defense.

Paul Nielsen

Not sure about that so I say using that logic it’s a tossup, though who would have thought Prime’s approach would work so quickly. Very interesting experiment.

Garrick Baxter

We are thin everywhere and nearly one-dimensional on offense. Hartzog got beat badly on Minnesota's 4th down TD. Speed kills. CU wins, just because we're Nebraska.

lane liley

Huskers look like the same anemic self. Not sure how we overcome the 20+ years of dilution. Buffs will trounce us.

Terry Darnall

If Sims is Quarterback NU will lose! If Ruhle doesnt make changes we will not win 6 games and we will not go to bowl game!

Joe Hegarty

We can't stop them

david mellott

We suck on offense

Jim Moore

Colorado has more talent at skill positions especially on offense.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

First game we showed we still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and so I do not expect anything different until they prove different, Buffs by 14

Chris Rierson

Nothing I saw from the Huskers show that they can beat what the Buffs had on the field

Jim Firnhaber

Buffs skill players and NU propensity for turnovers: 35-31 CU (Hope I'm wrong)

Harold Grimes

I watched Colorado / TCU. Colorado has way too much talent, and speed. QB and receivers are out of this world. Colorado Defense is suspect which leads to Nebraska's only hope. Colorado by 30.

Jason Opp

Buffs have two many playmakers with speed. NU offense lacks consistency and turnover prone

Jon Petersen

Even if the defense plays a good game and keeps the score close, the offense will blow it somehow. CU 34, NU 16

Corey

Yes the offense room has major issues. The defense room won't hold up in the high altitude even though they are in much better shape compared to last year's room.

Corey

The Duke room is hanging tough with the Clemson room right now.

Anthony Carr

The Husker offense is currently a hot mess. They will not be able to outscore the Buffs.

Corey

62-3

Corey

Because we have no tight end room. Or no room room for that matter. Why can't they just leave the room off and call it tight ends? Does each position group actually have a room?

Because I have never liked this alternate Uniform thing from the beginning. We have not only looked silly, but, have been distracted by it. I wish I knew how many games we won or lost with this. I hope the team doesn't even pay attention to it.

Sal Di Leo

Scott Kelly

It's a tip of the cap to a historical event and the addition of a message to the varsity stripes that should stay. They won't sell a lot of them but it's a respectful way to do what they set out to do. On the 100th anniversary is it a bad ting to remind people that we are a classic, not gimmick.

Bradley Bramer

NEB fans complain when /// does too much. Now complain when keeps things simple. Lets get ready and join up with Jordan Brand in 2028 then.

Joe Huebner

These are great. A subtle twist on our classic look. And MUCH better than the all black/all red/all white/all puke alternative unis!

russ kindig

we've had way worse.. ie the duct tape uniforms

Clark Huenink

The uniform represents a constant like the loyalty of Nebraska Fans. The words on the sleeves are sacred to true Husker fans. The 76% are more worried about style than substance. GBR

Husker Mike

I hate stupid alternate jerseys. This one is way less stupid than all the past alternates.

Larry Rasmussen

I would like to see these as our permanent uniforms. I think they are more lively than all red tops. Have not been too thrilled about the crazy alternatives of the past that takes us too far from our identity.

Do something interesting like metallic blue unis with an all red helmet with a white N for example. Was this given to a soon to be retired employee at Adidas?

Jim Mackey

Waste of time

Leonard Barron

Very poor honor to the stadium that had some many iconic games played in it.

Joseph French

Boring. Why bother. Come on let's put some imagination into it shall we.

Dave Shellhammer

Agree - uninspiring

Steve Farell

unimaginative .. why not blue for very first uniform?

Robert Miller

When the alternative uniform changes are so subtle that you have to point them out for people to notice, you have failed.

Scott Snell

Blue outline is too thin. Will not be able to see it. Would have liked to see all blue uniform to commemorate Memorial Stadium's centennial.

Patrick Walsh

Waste of time. If the alterations to the uniform are going to be this simple and this boring, then lets keep our normal uniforms. No recruit is getting excited about these. No person besides true Husker fans could tell you what's different or unique. I doubt the current players are impressed either

Kevin Hubbell

Only difference I see is a thin blue line around the #'s. What creative genius came up with that!

Chris Nielsen

Seriously can we just switch to Nike already......

Robert Santiago

If you're gonna do something different, do something different.

Worst alt uni to date...

Lyle Urbanec

Why can't we get something wild and different for a change?

Stewart G

The Jersey design doesn't capture the historical significance of the centennial season. It should be a memorable style, not one that will be forgotten immediately after exiting the stadium.

Todd Blaser

Doesn't do anything for me. They pretty much look like the standard uniform, especially from more than 20 ft away.

Dan List

Too Plain

Eric Arndt

I understand the blue outline of the letters, but I kind of feel we should've gone all Blue, like in the first ever home game at Memorial Stadium, this just seems like 1/16th of an effort.

Brad Loseke

Minimalist at best. Why bother?

Steven Sabacky

If you were color blind you would never know the differnce

john brandon

It’s lame and fans in the seats or watching on TV won’t even notice … wear a blue jersey!

Ken

I understand the purpose behind the blue, but cant we have something a bit more respectful to honor our iconic stadium? Its been good to HuskerNation fans, why not return the favor.

Brent Matz

We should. Easier schedule. Good talent left from previous regime. Nice portal pickups. But in the last few years I've always felt optimistic only to have hopes dashed. So for now, I'm taking a cautious wait and see attitude.

Brandon Pierce

Culture

Steve McLaughlin

They are much better than their recent records

Davis Baker

Players look in better shape to finish games, which should help in some of the close ones NU has recently lost. Play calling should also improve. Let's not kid ourselves though, it will mostly rest on QB play. Jeff Sims must stay healthy! There just appears to be too much of a dropoff after him.

Terry Darnall

Matt Ruhle philosophy of training camps is complete opposite of Scott Frost. That’s why.

Robert Scrivner

We were close in a lot of games the last two years. Better coaching and technique should make the difference.

Wade Williams

NU has had enough talent to make a bowl game all 6 yrs they missed out, they were just the right coach away! I think Rhule is the difference & I see no reason they can't win 6 or 7 games, maybe 8! It will really boil down to team chemistry, can it gel that quickly? I think it will!

Visitor

Should have qualified last season. They have the pieces, now the coaches topic it all together better.

Jimmy L

I think .500 is doable with the schedule and talent

PJ SAid

The talent is/was there. The thing lacking was coaching > Culture, Discipline, better play calling, etc.

Vance Bartels

The majority of our losses the past few years were from a lack of discipline and attention to details. Coach Ruhl is all about both of those things.

Kevin Hilyard

It's time.

Fallbrook HS AG Dept

Rhule has the program going in the right direction.

Vincent Mahon

They have the talent and a competent coaching staf.

James Wyatt

I believe in the process that the coaches are instilling in the players and themselves to be the best you can be like Osborne and Devaney taught back in the day as well as being accountable one another! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!!!!!!!!
