Ameer will play and have a good career.. Gregory is a bust. Should have stayed in school.

David MacKay

He is going to a good fit for him...Gregory will not be a bust in Dallas however but will have to work hard to get into the starting role...good luck to both and to Kenny B in Tampa Bay

Faye Cook

ihe draft. and the team does not have to worry about his character, or drugs or lack of attention to the rules.. Randy is fantastic player, but came up a bit short when it came to the rules at the combine.

Dean Horst

I wil put my money on Ameer to succeed anyway in any situation. I hope Randy is good as well, as i am a Cowboys fan.

Daniel Conner

Ameer is a solid back with great character. Gregory has great potential, but seems to be a bit of a flake (doing drugs knowing he will be tested by NFL?). My money is on Ameer.

Detroit has not been kind to it's stars. Dallas on the other hand is much more even-keeled

Mel G Young

size is more conducive to pro

Sean Fluharty

Detroit has no O-line. AA will be running for his life since there will be no holes.

Ryan Hartung

Open spot on a team that could go deep into the post season.

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!

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.

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.
