First game mistakes that would have been ironed out in the Akron game.

We're playing with Riley's players (except for AM and Bell). I was excited about 7 sacks, a QB that can run AND pass! Imagine what happens when Frosty has his recruits and a 2 years under his belt!

They played a tough opponent and outplayed them in most categories. This Husker team looked ferocious and strong through all 4 quarters, which is a welcome change. Plus, some of those calls...

They played hard for 60 minutes, Frost has already produced more results than Riley.

Huskers win the game if only one turnover was not lost and I hate to say it but the officials were horrible as usual.

As a coach myself all you can do is look for constant improvement and the wins will take care of themselves. We already have half the sacks we had last year....

I was disappointed we lost but man they played well. A lot of kinks to work out. WE play Akron and we beat Colorado.

The offense looks really potent and the defense was flying to the ball in a way that we have not seen in a while.

If last years team fell behind 14-0 in the 1st Q, they would have buckled and folded and lost by a wide margin. This team played like they expected to win by 50. Had this been game 2, they'd have won.

Huskers showed fire, they were in the game. We gotta give em time. It to Tom O 10 years.

Disappointed but not beyond. Knew this would be a tough season at times losing opener really hurt us.

First game, adrian's first game in 2 years,, besides being a true freshman, lines played well, o was great d was loads improved, shot happens

We're light-years ahead of where we were last year. 10-1 says if that ass-hat #44 didn't put that extra twist on Martinez' ankle, we win this game! Even with the 1st game jitter silliness...

So many encouraging things to take away. Some mistakes against a decent team in the very first game of the season, but the way we ran the ball, the way we got pressure on the qb, most of qb play, etc

We hurt us, Colorado did not beat us, first game mistakes, I'm disappointed but not upset. I like the effort on the field

I would rather lose to colorado than Akron. We saw a preview of good things to come.

every loss hurts, there we some positive signs on both sides of the ball

Players played w excitment, enthusism and physicality. Turn overs are a killing, dropped passes don't help. Young excited team who will rebound, reboot and realign. Got'a love thiose Huskers!!

A lot to like, huge improvement, aggressive defense, a whole lot of offense. Just wasn't in the cards. First game gitters

The mess he was left with to rebuild with youth, given time were gonna be back.

solid play after spotting 14 points. Last year's Huskers would have spiraled to at least a 35 point loss.

They looked better than they have in the past several years. I'm encouraged.

CU was not better. The Huskers had a lot of mistakes that cost them the game. I see a lot of good things on D and O that were missing the last few years. The future is bright. GBR!!!

Like the others who commented here, I am optimistic.

brutal they lost, but they look 100 x better than they have the last 3 yrs. Better days ahead

I was disappointed that we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. But this is a young, talented team and better days are ahead.

looked way better than last year even in a loss.

Huskers are mostly a young team with no previous game played. NU was the better team Saturday, our mistakes caused the loss, many of the mistakes may have been solved had Akron been played.

It's disappointing but the team made first game mistakes that can be corrected. NU was probably a better team but CU was a more experienced team.
