good for 1 game a year and always better than the all whites

Keith Petrie

Amen!!! I HATE the all Whites! Gross! And practically always lose in them!

Jeff Barker

Love the alternates. Good eye candy for recruits, face it, they love this stuff. The alternates are not supposed to appeal to us, its the recruits they are after.

Patrick Nelson

horrible

Carlos Streit

Sharp

Jeff Green

Why not look good since we are playing mediocre

Kevin Hamilton

Other than the numbers they are sharp!

Eric D Ludvigsen

I like a change, and I like the black as an option. Love our traditional uni's but like the one game change up. Haven't liked many of the choices, but these look good.

Steve Henke

like the look, so much better than last year (duct tape project for boys/girls scouts)

Go Traditional - And for the love of everything that is good on this earth, STOP WEARING ALL WHITE!!!!!

David LaFever

I agree...stay traditional. You don't see other class football teams using these alternative uniforms. Alabama, Oklahoma, UCLA, USC, etc. Stand up against uniform sponsors and PC. Also it is time to go back to the red pants .

Bill Lee

please go back to red pants.unfortunately, tommy armstrong is behind the all whites. as long as he is qb, the all whites stay

Doug Einsel

Traditional better

Peter Rygol

The kids might like them and that's OK. But you're asking an old guy and to me it doesn't say "Go Big Red" when they're wearing black.

Valerie Gilmore

I'm just not a fan of a zillion different uniform looks. Let's just line up and play and forget the eye candy fashion....

Danny Baker

I do not like anything outside of tradition. Plus, the Nebraska's colors our Crimson and Cream, not black and red.

Ron Hough

What a bad decision you have The 1995 National Championship team in attendance and you choose alternate uniforms. Stay with the tradition

Bill Lee

because black is not one of our colors

Kevin Erickson

Happy for some alternative wear but give me throwback uniforms or really different but with Red and White. Not black. Heck out Hebbie on the helmet. Something

Keith Petrie

I don't think we can put any bodies passing game in the dumps!

Is the 34½-point spread against Akron about right?

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

George mcdaniel

Around 21 points

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.
