Indiana is not the same old Indiana. We haven't put together a complete game yet. Hope it's not ugly, but if it's a squeaker at home we have a fair chance at the win.

Where’s the “going to lose by two touchdowns” button...? Big O-line, good running back.... has been a nightmare scenario for this defense.

We lose this game every time for years. The culture is changing; the confidence is growing; the return to excellence is near. The old fogies who still wish bread was a dime will denigrate the O & D lines & malign the play calling. They forget how bad things have been. This is better. This was a win.

Many times in the past, the Huskers looked not so good against mediocre teams in nonconference, then got their act together for a good season. The Michigan game will be the real barometer.

this time last year, this would have been a loss. Their backs were on the ropes, but managed to pull the W instead. Still need to learn how to keep the foot on the gas, and not let up in all 4 quarters...

Bearcats are the Huskers of 2024. They found a way lose through penalties and turnovers.

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.

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.

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
Reply
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.
Reply
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.

New DC, Less experience... Will be GREAT if D can adjust, But I'm not drinking that kool-aid until we see it on game day. Offense should be one of the best we've had in a long time. Definitely on them to lead the way :)
Reply
I look for the offense to be one of the best in the country this year with Holgorson as the OC.
Reply
Nebraska has been on the verge. The bye week allowed for a return to fundamentals so optimistically they should be much stronger this week
ReplyI have to believe that Coach Frost is getting serious with these guys. With Mo being excused from the team, stuff is gettin' real. No more screwing around. They'll be pissed and ready to win Saturday.
ReplyThere is/was some poison on this team. Although they claim to be a brotherhood, there are some who think they are above the team. Some say MJ is not a gateway drug. If so, then why did Ricky Williams
