Bama's defense is better.

Wade Williams

Bamas D is NOT better! I live in the south and believe me, their 2 main tests they failed miserably. Ole Miss and Fla rolled up all kinds of points and yardage on them. Bama feasted on a mostly weak SEC this year. They will lose this game. Take the points!

Kent Snowdon

NO REASON THERE ALABAMAA

Matt Seiler

Genuinely surprised more people are taking the Buckeyes. I think Alabama is well coached with better athletes across the board. If Buckeyes can run on Bama there's a good chance they win. I'm not sure they can. But I am sure Bama can pass on OSU and that's dangerous. 38-31 Tide. Hope I'm wrong!

David Steffen

better atheletes more tested

shawn hobbs

I'm from Greenbow, stupid is as stupid does.

Sheryl Lindley

They are tuff to beat. Ohio may be more hungry which could be the difference. I just wish there was some new faces in the playoffs. I do not like either one of the two.

Matt Seiler

Cheer for Fields. He seems to be a very genuinely good guy

For no other reason than they are in the Big 10 and they were vocal supporters of Nebraska's desire to play this past fall. They supported us, so I support them.

Steve Walker

I really like Justin Fields. Some conference pride. Also Ohio State helped Nebraska get the BigTen to play football. Alabama is probably better, but I am pulling for tOSU.

Ron Joseph

Need some conf pride here. Tired of seeing SEC and ACC winning this game. And besides, when we beat OSU next year in Lincoln, it will be a real feather in our hat!!! (Got to think positive)

Matt Seiler

Thinking positive doesn't make things happen. I hope the Buckeyes win but between having a banged up QB and facing the best offense in college football it's a tough task!

Wade Williams

The SEC was pretty week this year top to bottom except for AL. They haven't faced a running attack or as balanced an offense as OSU. Nor have they faced a D this good, particularly the secondary. OSU 27 BAMA 24

Dale Paulsen

Nick Saban is a pompous ass, and Ryan Day is a class act! Best reason I can think of!

Richard Stotts

better qb play

Does Nebraska’s 20-17 win over Cincinnati signal resilience or concern?

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.

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!

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.

New DC, Less experience... Will be GREAT if D can adjust, But I'm not drinking that kool-aid until we see it on game day. Offense should be one of the best we've had in a long time. Definitely on them to lead the way :)

Robert Lloyd

I look for the offense to be one of the best in the country this year with Holgorson as the OC.
