Randy Gregory Nebraska — Last season, the Nebraska defense was one of the worst in the program's history. The Blackshirts gave up 24 or more points eight times and gave up more than 300 yards of total offense in a game 10 times. Poor defense won't get it done at Nebraska.

Tommy Armstrong Jr. Nebraska — The Nebraska passing game has always been a weakness, and 2014 was no exception. Tommy Armstrong Jr. only had more than 300 yards passing in a game just once, and he threw for under 3,000 yards for the season. In Mike Riley's offense, Armstrong Jr. will have to make more plays with his arm.
