Put a thousand on it. Give yourself room to hedge as the season progresses. Of course alot rides on an undefeated first half of the season.

The loss of talent from last year, this coaching staff does not have my trust beyond 6-6 with the occasional upset, I believe we have the players who have the talent to do it, I simply do not trust the coaching.

Valerie Gilmore

Doesn't hurt to dream, but this is a building project. It will take Riley and company more than 13 games to get National title talk. How about the division first, then CCG!

Sean Fluharty

This team is simply not national championship-calibre. We'll be extremely lucky even to reach the CCG.

Stephen Johnson

They should start with a winning season before talking about national championships.

Arlie Rauch

It's silly to exchange money when no product or service is being exchanged. Besides, it would be a huge leap.

Good people as coaches. The line depleted, now is in the hands of a great upcoming coach. Linebackers and d-backs are in good hands.

Jay Safford

I like their chances but it may take a few games with a young d-line. I wish the veterans would have stuck around 1 more year. Our young d-line improvement is the key i believe.

Louis Scholz

I'm a word Parella .......

Isaiah Skrdla

I don't think that it will happen this year. I think this year will be terrible. However I think 2017s defense could be pretty good. I feel better about the direction of the defense than the ofense.

Valerie Gilmore

the talent was there last year, the talent is there this year and we have a new motivator speaking in terms that will get them ready for games, so yeah Nebraska will turn it around.......

Danny Baker

I feel they were almost there last year and now with Parella, the package will be complete.

Gene Baker

Yes they have a ton of young talent and great coaches, especially John Parela! I'm actually very excited to see the finished product out on the field! GBR!!!

Kevin Hamilton

Talent is down in the line but I expect to see improvement this year.

Michael McKain

I believe these are good coaches with good talent. John Parella will help instill the Blackshirt pride.

Todd Michael

I believe in this staff

To me, the 'D' coordinator is still a question mark. 'D' line is a question mark. Although I like John Parrella's chances of bringing them around.

Stephen Johnson

Same defensive staff, different day. Same pass defense, 115 this year????

Roger Lohr

I'm not sure Mr Banker can coach a successful pass defense.

James Traut

Likely improvement in the DBs negated by weaker defensive line.

T David Andrew M

Did not see enough development last season to give me any meaningful reason to suggest that what is returning on the defensive side of the ball will be anywhere near what will be needed for a winning season.

Jc Clark

Not this year with the lack of depth and meaningful experience on the defensive line. it all starts there. We're going in the right direction though.

Terry Darnall

Not sure. This year will tell a lot. I was hoping it was a aggressive defense, but I didn't see it last year. Only Nate Gerry at the end of the year got aggressive. No excuses this year, players know the defense, so now we will find out/

Byron Augustin

Because Banker is still the DC.

Kevin Bolin

The D coordinator has NEVER had a top D so why would we expect one now - especially when the D line is so young?

I think he has good potential and that perhaps Tommy will throw better balls this year.

Terry Darnall

Westy could have a great season. First to be a 1000 yard receiver at NU. But the question is whether Armstrong will get it to him, or throw it to the opposition. I have no faith in Armstrong as a passer. Hand it off to someone else and let them pass it.

Stephen Johnson

He has great hands and the ability to get open.

Stephen Douglas

Who knows, hopefully he stays healthy

James Traut

Average is still really good. Improvement over 2015 depends on the line play so Tommy isn't scrambling to avoid sacks.
