The players we have are all "young" and will experience a new staff. Fife, Stanton, Bush, and Armstrong give us what we need the next two years. Bringing in "your" guy next tear gives two years for that guy to grow into Coach Riley's system. I expect two recruits at QB next year.

with new staff and short recruiting time. Coach Riley will get his guy for 2016.

We have plenty of talent in the wings that when properly coached should excel. Anyone who says this staff has not handled recruiting well is a blubbering idiot.

Right now the stable is full. One missed year shouldn't hurt that much. Besides we could be surprised on Wednesday.

Our problem at QB is there are too many goods ones... now that's a problem I wish we could have forever.

We have good young QBs now and will surely get one (or two) next year. I'm far more worried about the LBs than the QBs.

The new coach does not know what offense he plans to run. So how do you pick a qb.

Plenty of young QBs. Also a strong possibility of T.J. Green as a walk-on, which is kind of astounding. There were just a lot more pressing needs for this class.

Seems like we have plenty of them. If something happens to Armstrong, let's see what Johnny Stanton & A.J.Bush can do. Is Fyfe still around?

Is the 34½-point spread against Akron about right?

Yes, the Huskers should roll.

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.

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

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

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.

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...

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.

D-line is a definite concern. No sacks, no real pressure on their QB especially - when it really counted,

N was fortunate to win. The O and D lines were underwhelming vs an average B12 team. 8-4 might be optimistic.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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
