Get him help. He should not lose his job because of this. He made a mistake and thank God noone was hurt.

He made a huge mistake but should be allowed to get the help he needs. As bad as a DUI is, we have a "family" oriented University and we help our family in times of need!

On the grounds he gets help or treatment. No help, no job.

Seems like the best thing for him now is the support of the team, staff and administration ...kicking him to the curb doesn't sound "Nebraska-like" to me.

People make mistakes. Given that this is his first issue at NEB and nobody was hurt by his actions he should be provided education/rehab to help him understand the choices he is making in his life. Short leash moving forward and punishment greater than would be applied to a student athlete.

I think until we know the full story he stays also that he gets mandatory counseling and monitoring I trust coach Rhiley to make the right decision and people make mistakes that's life

He needs some help not punishment. He needs the support of his team and he will be able to counsel his crew from experience and hard knocks.

Keith Williams has done so much good for so many young men. I want him to keep supporting our Husker men. He is a member of our Husker family and I want him to stay. Love ya, coach. We've got your back as you go through this.

The man made a mistake, a mistake many others have made in regular life, politics, police etc. A man's career should not end as a result but he sure should do something about it.

You wrap your arms around family and help them to make changes in their life. KW has a chance to be an even more powerful role model by overcoming these difficult obstacles in his life. He can serve as a real person and a great inspiration.

Hope that he gets probation, gets into a treatment program, and then gets punished internally by the university. But not fired!

His actions completely undermines what Reilly has said is a top priority for this program which is mentoring young men.

Regardless the fact he is a great recruiter. He is not using good judgment and setting a bad example. We set the standard high on and off the field.

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
