We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

They are not a good team yet. Much work to do.

To many issues to fix

There is NOWAY they will cover, there just not that good, atleast at this point.

Not convinced yet

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

It's hard to beat any team by that big of a margin.

Defense needs more time to cook

Around 21 points

What I saw in the trenches is very concerning. Also, that rinky dink 3 yards and a cloud of dust by the throwing the ball offense won't get it done against the big boys.

D-line is a definite concern. No sacks, no real pressure on their QB especially - when it really counted,

N was fortunate to win. The O and D lines were underwhelming vs an average B12 team. 8-4 might be optimistic.

Swiss Cheese defense!

Should have put on SPY on the QB, if that dude takes off, hammer his ass, period! Inside D looks like a problem, gap containment, giant hole.

I don't think NU can play much better and to only squeeze out a win is concerning.

There is a lot to be concerned about!!

The only improvement I saw was only one stupid penalty. A 79% passing rating was overblown with two and three yard completions. D-Line got blown off the ball.

DUMB NOT KICK BALL TOM WOULD HAVE MAKE FIELD LONGER WE RUN OUT CLOCK COME ON COACH

Maybe the weakest run defense I have ever seen in an NU uniform. It was scary bad.

If Riola is the QB they say he is, Turn Him Loose! !

In the last 5 games in 2024 plus this game, NU has only managed to score more than 20 points once with Holgersen's play calling. The OL and DL wasn't impressive. The defense had trouble stopping the run even though Cincy couldn't throw effectively. Do not drink the Kool-Aid yet!

Last seven minutes, Cincy marches down the field and scores, Huskers can't put a final drive together and punt on 4th and 14. Cincy gets ball on the 10, marches, easily, down the field and, thankfully, throws the game away on a poorly executed pass in the end zone. we were dominated in the 4th qrt

No RB depth. Johnson is a star, but will get hurt early in the season if that load continues. D gashed by runs over and over. O didn’t finish drives.

When compared to preseason hype the win raises flags on what is real and what isn’t. The hype = 1995 levels for a team that at best may be a 7 or 8 win team

First off, Cincinatti is better team than Nebraska fans think. But, I was disappointed there is no RB2, Need more deep pass attempts, DLine is smallish & soft. Specail teams look okay so far. My win total has dropped to 7 or 8 vs. 9 wins.

We just aren't there yet. But thank God for our special teams. What a turn around. We need some linemen, both offense and defense.

OL showed zero improvement and DL definitely has downgraded. Only 1 legit RB. WRs struggled to get separation. Once again misled by the biased Nebraska media during the offseason. Exactly why I don't drink the Kool-Aid

Good teams always start better than this. Only slightly better than last year. Special Teams did not loose the game this time.

Offense should have scored more points. Look at the Illinois win.
