Because know the Huskers have a true chance to win now that Utah doesn't have they're coach.

Robert Lloyd

Go Big Red

Wade Williams

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!

Loren Wissmann

I would say it gives Nebraska a BETTER chance for a bowl win… I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it gives Nebraska a GOOD chance for a bowl win. 🙄

The Utes could have Ernest P. Worrell coaching them and they'd still throttle us.

Ron Joseph

If our D can’t stop the run Barney Fife could be Utah’ coach and they will win.

Richard Murray

It's about the players and especially in the trenches. Utah by a bunch.

Randy Bird

His replacement has been around the program since he played there under Whittingham. The transition will be smooth.

Arney Smits

Nebraska lost to two interim coached teams already.

Ruthie Patterson

More Motivated now to win

Scott

They' re very good in the areas we aren't

Dr. J. J. Miles

I think the only altered mindset might be the Utes will be angry and looking to show Whittingham they are as good without him as they were under him

We have talent in the room. They will have the same learning curve that Emmett had. He was an average back at the beginning of last season and look how he blossomed. That said, if a solid back is available, take him of course

Bill Scheef

Nebraska is a 3rd Tier team in the BIG 10 and an after thought nationally and our expectations for recruiting should reflect that. With the powers in the BIG 10 nationally Nebraska's "good old days..." are just. Swept into the dust bin of what once was...Sorry, but...it's the truth as I see it.

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

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

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

Rick Distefano

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

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

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

Ted Fuller

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

Suicide Slush Puppie

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

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

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

Ron Joseph

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
