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...

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.

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

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!!

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.

Next week’s game at Indiana is sold out. Have you ever bought tickets on the resale market?

Do not ever use SeatGeek. I live in Oregon & try to make one game/year. This year I paid nearly $2000 for 3 clear view tickets to the Colorado game. What I received were tickets behind the pillar clearly marked “Limited View”. After many emails they promised full credit but I’m still waiting in Oct.

I have not, but I know a guy who traded some used windows that he took off his shed for a fairly good wheel barrow. The guy with the wheel barrow got it from a lady who needed a high quality used spare tire. The wheel barrow guy got the tire in a trade for some NU tickets. Barter is smarter.

Should Rhule have Haarberg run the ball to aid Raiola’s passing game more often?

Raiola seems to lose interest - his passes are in the ground, his posture and attitude seem to look like he doesn't care. We can't have him playing only half a game.

Rhule should have his running backs run the ball to aid Raiola's passing. If he wants to put Haarberg in the I formation and throw a half-back pass to aid Raiola by doing Raiola's passing for him, I'm all for it. Rhule should also have Bushini pass the ball to aid Raiola's passing from what I saw.
