Week 1 v Cincinnati (Arrowhead Stadium) - Thursday, August 28: Depth Chart, Game Notes, Etc

[Milo-of-Croton]

First games are always interesting, and will be for both teams. Nebraska will beat them. May not be a thing of beauty, but seems some sportswriters like to hype up opponents.

I'll be there with my bride and dim CornHuskers taint lost a game in our presence! The Spousal units first game was THE cu game with SUH and Henry!

We gonna smoke them phaggits!

No matter what happens in this game, there will be overreactions either way.

Cover 3 guys make it sound like Nebraska will have to score in the 30s to win this game.

As if JoBu will allow his defense to give up more than 10 points

Based on what? What about Cincinnati’s offense points to that? Or is it a Nebraska defense will struggle thing

Probably a combination of Cincinnati having a good offense with a dual threat QB returning and the debbie downers thinking that our defense will take a step back

ESPN FPI ranked them as having the 39th most efficient offense last year (whatever that means). We were 49th.

 

[Eaton Beaver]

Guessing they won't be able to stop our run game and by 2nd half they're in full pass mode.

Hoping we limit big plays first half and turn up the heat in 4th qtr.

Clean Game: 35-20 Skers Will we for once show discipline?

39th going against Big 12 defenses
49th going against B1G defesnes

I like Soresby, but we should win this game easily with a comfortable lead the entire 4th quarter.

If Nebraska's offense actually is improved, Rhule will be begging Cincy to run their QB all game. That dude isn't Cam Newton. He's not Taylor Martinez. He's not even Adrian Martinez.

 

[Omar Little]

Cinci lost their stud running back Kiner. Hopefully that will help slow down their RPO game.

They grabbed Taiwee Walker from Wisconsin out of the portal. He's a very good player.
