To Beat Auburn

Lonny Maler

Hours of talk about Frost & the Huskers. the AP coach of the year and only undefeated coach is heading to Nebraska. Great for recruiting. If CFU wins it will be even better.

Randy Davis

Many reasons but #1 those players and coaches earned this!!

Allen H. Browning

A great act of loyalty toward his team. Great to see him help his guys finish this year right.

Chad Mitchell

Recruiting dead period and beat the SEC

Livio S Nespoli

I am not as smart as our AD. But this gives NU a 3 hour infomercial regardless of how UCF performs against Auburn.

Mark Kruse

Right thing to do. Period.

Brian Ellerbruch

He made a commitment to the school and the kids to for the whole year, which includes the bowl game. Honor your commitments!

Joe Dreyer

loyal to his undefeated old team. finishing the job.

Eric Hahn

He has a chance at an unbelievable cap to a phenomenal season. The kids deserve it. NU loses nothing letting him coach.

Jim Andersen

It's the right thing to do.

Kris Chenault Fenske

One condition that Frost wanted guaranteed was that he could coach the UCF bowl and I feel that condition should be honored

Doug Trenerry

Simple, it’s the right thing to do.

Erny Bonistall

Coach is a class act. This is the right thing to do. NU players will respond positively!!!

Scott Vadnais

Scott is a man of integrity, and absolutely should coach UCF in this game.

Bill Strong

Free advertisement for NU. How many times during that game do you think the announcers are going to mention Coach Frost is newly hired HC for NU and finishing his obligation to UCF? Admirable act.

Justin Carper

In dead period for recruiting anyway. May as well get the Jan. 1 exposure for NU.

Bart Burroughs

It isn't ideal, but it is the right thing to do given the situation. It will play well with recruits and is a positive ad for NU where we wouldn't have had anyone talking about us if he hadn't

Visitor

He needs to finish what je started and honor his word.

Mick Hanson

it is the right thing to do, and he has a thing, for the right thing.

Christian Bengel

He deserves it, and so do his players

Kurt Grossoehme

Because he honors his word and is an honest man. I will wear Scarlet and Cream/Black and Gold to support UCF on New Years Day.

Justin Monk

Good to see a coach live up to his commitments to the players.

David Weaver

he earned that right AND I think it also helps give current Husker recruits an opportunity to watch the game to see what type of offense and defense they run since we aren't in a bowl

Rod Nielsen

It shows integrity to recruits that will be incoming.

Robert Lloyd

If Frost feels it is the right thing to do... then yes.

Chin Sin Chong

It's his responsibility to finish the business down there. Leaving the players unattended is unethical and will draw negativity to his image being a couch and as a recruiter.

David Mitchell

It shows his commitment to his players, and that's what we want at Nebraska. It also puts him in the spotlight come new year's, which could help recruiting

Visitor

Coaching UCF in their bowl game is the right thing to do and shows the class of the Huskers new head coach.

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

Patrick O'Brien

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

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.
