Weather it is Christmas or not the most important person in red for the next year will most likely be Ameer Abdullah. Abdullah has NFL written all over him and could potentially leave the Big Red this season. The Huskers surely want the I-Back to return for 2014.
Husker fans do love a good offseason story to tide them over until play resumes next fall. But to ensure future victories the Huskers need to establish who their coach will be. Whether it is Bo or not the Nebraska administrators must decide so recruiting can proceed.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers need a quality quarterback coach. Under Tom Osborne the Huskers had Turner Gill on staff to coach their quarterbacks. Since then offensive coordinators have served both as play-caller and quarterbacks coach. The Huskers need a coach to focus solely on the development of the quarterbacks at Nebraska. Whether that is graduate assistant and former Husker Joe Ganz or not, the Huskers need to designate one man to do the job.
The Huskers suffered their losses due to injury in 2013 and would love a Christmas blessing for 2014 to be a year where their offensive line stays intact. The devastating injuries were hard to swallow for Huskers fans with the worst being to All-American Spencer Long, a Nebraska native who will never again play for the Huskers.
The Huskers are on a long drought without winning a bowl game, but the team may make an appearance on New Year’s Day this season. The Huskers never won a bowl game with Taylor Martinez under center, and a win could really signify a change for the program.
The Huskers need to get a win in 2014 against a quality opponent outside of the Big Ten. They need to defeat a highly ranked opponent with in the Big Ten as well. If the Huskers had defeated the UCLA Bruins this season it would have meant a lot for the program. Husker fans will be asking for a victory against a BCS rated opponent in 2014.
