It's pretty simple to say that no matter what momentum Mike Riley and the Nebraska Cornhuskers make in things like social media, recruiting and such, there has to be a better 2016 than 2015, or else there won't be a 2017 for this group.

I asked myself and the CN staff who they think has to step up and have a good Spring ball session this year, that carries them into a strong 2016 season. The only caveat is that

I told them they couldn't choose Mike Riley himself.

Why you ask? Simple, this is what Riley has created for not only a team but a coaching staff and support group. It's too easy to just say "well Riley has to be better", there are parts that have to improve.

My choice therefore moves to the offensive line, to the guy that will start at center - someone like Dylan Utter or Paul Thurston.

^^Agree with this.

Also, we need several guys to step up on the D-line. We have to replace Collins and Valentine. And frankly, our DE play last year was nothing to write home about. We need guys to step up at every spot on the D-line. If this doesn't happen, it's gonna be a long season. Especially for our CBs.
