I think the true numbers will come out and this sham will be put to rest.

Steve “S85” T

Nothing like the biggest over reaction in world history.

Matt Seiler

The Scamdemic won't be over but there's too much money to be lost. They'll find a way to make it happen even if there are no fans and required tests for all athletes and personnel every week.

Tom Nelsen

We need to start living life again. Can't stay shutdown forever.

Dustin Koppit

With the amount of money at stake and with the power that donors have, there is no way we won't have any games...

Doug Miller

REVENUE $$$$$$

Ward Larson

The future of college football hinges on the continued revenue from TV. It may be too early to squeeze 85,000 fans into Memorial Stadium, but with proper and continuous monitoring of every player,

Rick Shaneyfelt

It will not be a "normal" season but I do think they will figure out a way to salvage a part of the season - most likely without fans (ugh!) but at least they will generate TV revenue.

It's an election year. The overreach is insane & they'll disrupt any & all things to 'get Trump'...

Dave Cool

It's a SCAM-demic, the NCAA is as corrupt as the WHO, its all fake...sheeple wear your mask

Doug Norman

All it will take to discontinue season is a few ppl getting sick and dying from Covid. That'll be enough to end the season most likely.

Covid-19 😔

Jim Christensen

We either have to be able to assure ourselves that everyone in the stadium is free of the virus, which requires testing and tracking, or we need a vaccine. Neither of these options seems likely.

Randy Wolf

The risk is too high for college students. If one player gets the virus, they all get it. That is just the way it is in college. The NCAA may love money but they are scared to death of angry parents.

Randy Weitzenkamp

Too many jurisdiction to agree on a common directed health protocol. If a handful of states say no football everyone's schedules fall apart. Some teams play 10 games, while another plays 5???

Michael Sanches

No open campus because of the dorms. Lincoln doesn't have enough housing to replace dorms. No dorms because of Dining halls and communal bathrooms. Therefore, no sports.

Kelly Merkert

The over-reactionary pansy academics will totally kill all fall sports. We'll be lucky to get baseball back next February.

Bob Dickson

The knuckle draggers that believe the world is out to get Trump will be the reason there will be no football. They are afraid of everything and will react accordingly if he loses in Nov.

Matthew Hoffman

Because of the president

jerry williams

It is really dependent upon a second wave and since Trump is not pushing for mandatory caution using masks and social distancing I fear we will be in midst of second or third wave.

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

Brad Bredenkamp

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

PJ SAid

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

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

William Osler

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

Alan Portsche

To many issues to fix

VAHuskerFan

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

David Weaver

Not convinced yet

Melvyn Halfon

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

Danny Brown

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

Ed Starke

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

McV0id

Defense needs more time to cook

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.

tmhedlund@hotmail.com

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.

Ryan Morrow

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...

Mike Conyers

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

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.

John Fillmore

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

Mac Kinder

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

Marcus Orillious

Swiss Cheese defense!

dksntpa

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.

Joe Hegarty

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

VAHuskerFan

There is a lot to be concerned about!!

Loren Zimmerman

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.

Linda Ogren

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

David Levesque

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

Joe Nigro

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

Roger Shriver

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!

Bill Petty

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

Randy Essex

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.

Ron Joseph

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

PJ SAid

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.

Robert Lloyd

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.

Draven DiMera

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

William Osler

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

Dave Perry

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