Not because of the loss, but because of the injury to AM,

We actually beat ourselves. Too many turnovers, mistakes, penalities and gave up too many third and long situations. Good teams don't do this.

I thought before the game there was a good chance Nebraska would lose. However it's the way the game slipped away at the end that made me disappointed.

We dominated the game. Costly mistakes at the worst times really hurt us.

I live in Colorado, CU fans are acting like they just won the national championship. I have to deal with this for an entire year. We dominated the game and somehow still lost.

This was the toughest loss since NU lost to Texas in the Big 12 Championship. Also because it was to CU. Their classless fans will rant about it until next September. That was a gift to CU.

It just seems to sting more when you know you beat yourself! We found numerous ways to lose this game. Hard to stomach. Being CU makes it that much worse.

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!

Playing with Rileys recruits is NO excuse.

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...

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....

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.

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

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

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!!!

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.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
