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.

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

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.

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 :)

I look for the offense to be one of the best in the country this year with Holgorson as the OC.
ReplyNo – defense will adjust

I think we will be in most of the rest into the 4th quarter and I think we can pull 2 of the last 6 out. I still think we win one we are picked to lose.
ReplyI think the Huskers will go 7-5. Expectations were a little high, but he have to keep perspective and remember we did improve last year significantly over the second half of the season.
ReplyI will be disappointed if we can't get six wins.
ReplyYes they will get six wins but this week will not be one of them. I think they will beat Indiana and the Boilermakers and lose all the rest. I sure hope I'm way wrong on this.
ReplyAt this point in the season last year, we were 0-6. This year we are 4-2. If we can stay healthy (heal up) we will snag at least two more wins making us bowl eligible. GBR!
ReplyBackups will pull the buskers through until the bye week and then they get it in gear and play more to their potential.
Reply8-4 is realistic, and with luck we didn’t have last year....
ReplyWe improved dramatically as the season was past the halfway point last yeae and I believe we will improve from where we are currently at this year. GBR!!
ReplyHuskerts will play in the big 10 championship
ReplyYES I HAVE NO DOUBT GO BIG RED
ReplyThe Huskers will find a way to win at least two more
ReplyThere probably won't be any blowout wins, but the team is good enough to get to a bowl this year. If we'd have had Pickering at Colorado, we'd already have 5 wins.
