Game Thread Nebraska v Cincinnati (Kansas City, MO) - Thursday, August 28 8:00pm ESPN

It's looking that way.

Offensively.... we need some big, explosive plays. Would help keep pressure off the now tired defense.

Best I can do is a check down

Hey y'all. What if Cinci has a decent run game? What if their O line isn't terrible? Game 1 Red fans.

Ty Robinson isn’t getting put on skates against 4 new OL starters.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

We are playing the best we have. Its more concerning to me that Rhule never made a push for any DL transfers as far as I know.

We have 0 DL who weigh 300+. I don't understand how they came into the season thinking that would work

 

[Quint]

run defense is less than ideal right now.

Less than ideal is being gentle.

 

[biscuitgaze01]

Pass rush has zero sacks.

Sacks are a poor measure. Pressure rate has been high.

 

[Herbie]

Let the final score of this game be a stark reminder of how delusional Nebraska fans are

Box score will read two mediocre teams played a mediocre game

I agree

 

[Tell_Sackett]

Pass rush has been good. Run D has been ass

The front 4 is Charmin soft. Charles Barkley turrible. We only seem to get pressure if we bring backers.

 

[EwokRhuler]

This defense is going to be in a lot of trouble once we get to Big 10 play.

Minnesota is going to buttfuck us all game if we look like this.

 

[Sous Chef]

Hey y'all. What if Cinci has a decent run game? What if their O line isn't terrible? Game 1 Red fans.

They may not be terrible but they are very far from the best we will face.

 

[Flabio]

We have 0 DL who weigh 300+. I don't understand how they came into the season thinking that would work

It’s really odd.

Pl

 

[Poor_and_Stupid]

Returning kicks is such a waste unless you have a fucking beast bringing them back.

 

[KidsSeeGhosts]

Run defense going to be a WIP

The BIG teams will just play ball control either way and run it down our throat. I don’t see this offense winning a lot of shoot outs against most of the BIG teams we will face.

Nwaneri has beaten his guy all night long. Davis was also making strong pushes. There’s a reason they have like 40 pass yards

 

[Napkins]

Hey y'all. What if Cinci has a decent run game? What if their O line isn't terrible? Game 1 Red fans.

I want my team to only do good things

 

[Flabio]

Not to be a bxtch but if we don’t get the short field turnover it would be meltdown city rn.

 

[Dawgsauce]

They may not be terrible but they are very far from the best we will face.

True, but still matters that it's game 1. How many times we see a defense look bad first couple games that turns out to be legit? Often is the answer.
