🔥🏈 BUGPOD RECAP 🏈🔥

Well, the Huskers absolutely dominated Akron 68–0. Not surprised at the win, but a little surprised we racked up 68 points! Yes, Akron’s a bad team, but let’s be honest: Nebraska hasn’t dropped that many on anybody(even on a bad team) in years.

Loved seeing the second-string guys get meaningful reps. Loved seeing the whole team play with joy, foot on the gas, no let-up. That’s how you build depth and confidence.

Next week? Another chance for the young guys to grow into Holgerson’s offense before the Big Ten grind hits. Make no mistake: the schedule gets tougher after next week’s game against Houston Christian, but this game was fun for fans, fun for players, and a real confidence-builder for a young Husker squad.

And remember, right now college football doesn’t punish you for a soft schedule when it comes to playoff talk. Maybe this is exactly why teams line up “tune-up” games. Right now, it looks like Matt Rhule has this team pointed in the right direction, and a lot of young players got game experience.

We’ll record Sunday night (and I’ll probably post it that night, too). Until then, Go Big Red!

🏈 FINAL: Nebraska 20, Cincinnati 17 🏈

Not the dominant win we all hoped for, but a win is a win. Huskers are 1-0, and we beat a team with a pulse. Cincinnati is no tune-up. They looked a lot like the Big Ten teams we will see later, so this was a strong early test. Oh, and yes… we won in front of Taylor Swift.

💥 What stood out:
✔ Special teams! Field goals kept us in front, and Archie the Aussie punter from down under was incredible in his American Football debut. Every punt landed near the ten or inside the ten. Game-changer.
✔ The offensive line looked much improved from last year. Still some issues, but give Cincinnati credit. Corleone on their defensive line is the real deal.
✔ Raiola showed poise and control. Receivers were as advertised, especially Dane Key. He is legit.

🚨 Concerns:
✘ Running backs outside of Emmit Johnson did not produce much. We need a true “Big Boy” power back for the Big Ten grind, and we don’t have one.
✘ Defensive line looked rough, though linebackers and secondary held their own.
✘ Costly mistakes. Pritchett’s offsides at the one-yard line was brutal. Left points on the field.

🤔 Questionable call of the game: Going for it on 4th and 2 instead of punting. When you have the lead and the best punter in the world, pinning them deep is the smarter play.

But here’s the thing. For years this team forgot how to win. Now we have two straight high-profile wins on national TV at neutral sites. Husker fans who traveled made Arrowhead feel like home, and the noise mattered so much that it was instrumental in this win by causing 3 key penalties on Cincinnati that stalled their drives.

This team is not perfect, but it is learning how to be clutch, and is getting better. My eight-win prediction still looks right. Two lighter games coming up will help build confidence and momentum.

The bottom line: Nebraska is 1-0. Progress made. Go Big Red.

🎙 We will break it all down on the BugPod Sunday night.

Go Big Red!
