Nebraska recently brought in Dana Holgerson as an offensive analyst, a move many believe could make a significant impact on the team’s struggling offense. Holgerson, known for his experience in high-scoring offenses, has a background linked to the Air Raid system, having coached under Hal Mummy and Mike Leach. While the Air Raid offense might seem out of place for Nebraska’s traditionally physical, run-heavy approach, Holgerson’s history of successful offenses may be exactly what Nebraska needs as it struggles to score points this season. Currently, Nebraska has yet to win a game where its defense allowed over 14 points, highlighting the offense’s challenges under coordinator Marcus Satterfield.

Holgerson’s hire signals head coach Matt Rhule’s openness to making necessary adjustments, a quality not all coaches demonstrate. Rhule, who has a 10-11 record at Nebraska, acknowledged the need for outside assistance and has also brought in defensive analyst Phil Snow, though the focus remains on fixing the offense. Holgerson’s track record suggests he could help Nebraska improve from its current scoring average of around 18 points per game to something closer to the 30-point mark—a critical boost for competing in the Big Ten.

While skeptics question whether an Air Raid background will translate to Big Ten success, Holgerson has shown flexibility in incorporating running plays into his schemes, making him potentially adaptable to Nebraska’s style.

With USC up next, Nebraska will be tested against a team facing its own challenges, including a switch to a backup quarterback. Holgerson’s arrival could mark the beginning of a much-needed offensive transformation for Nebraska, bringing new energy and strategies to an offense in dire need of improvement. As fans eagerly await the upcoming games, the hope is that Holgerson can help Nebraska find a balanced and effective offensive approach to complement its strong defense and enhance its competitiveness.
Go Big Red!
