In the Big 10 if you can't run the ball you will not win very often.

A successful run game opens all sorts of opportunities. If you can't win the battle up front, no amount of scheming is going to help.

What I think is there should be a third choice here... get someone in there that can snap the ball. Everything is out of kilter if the snap is not proper. The whole play's timing is off.

If the running game does not improve, there is evidence that the offensive line is not getting their job done.

South Alabama had 44 carries for 83 yards. They did NOT "run it down our throats"--but I digress. WE need to be able to run the ball in order to stay out of 2nd and 3rd and long situations.

When Maurice Washington entered the game things picked up. JD was invisible on offense. AM must present a passing threat for the run to succeed.

It’s South Alabama... We should see a marked improvement on both sides of the ball. May not be where we want to be yet, but it should be a great tune-up game for Colorado.

I am NOT voting on this side thinking the Huskers aren't there yet. I think they are. Frost & Co. will show future opponents the blandest of plays that will let us win this one. #BackupsAfter2

One of the best alternate uniforms to come along. No reflective surfaces, seems to be designed with hard hitting football in mind. Like the tip of hat to the Blackshirts. Randy Milhoan, Vail, CO

Black looks sharp. Still Scarlett and Cream fan, but this uniform once a year is cool. Better make sure they play like true blackshirts, however.

To honor a tradition created by Black Shirts. One game from eleven isn't so bad. Never go back to all red. I still like the Scarlet and Cream uni's.

I think it’s great they have given some cred to the Blackshirts tradition....they look kind of ominous! (but not as scary as the Bugeater ones they have for next year) GO BLACKSHIRTS AND GO BIG RED!
