I agree. The stadium will be full of Nebraska fans so it will be like a home game in terms of the crowd. Cincinnati has a dangerous dual threat QB but not much else. Still, we have struggled for years losing to teams we have no business losing to. But I agree with you about our special teams being much better and we have a pretty decent QB ourselves! I hope our defense flexes its muscles and really puts the hammer to these guys. That will send a message right out of the gate. I am really looking forward to this game.
Hopefully it's not like the BC game and others where we get a good lead and then start making mistakes and let them make it a close game. Is it too much to ask for Nebraska to blow out a team for once and leave no doubt?
That's what we need to see for sure. It's time to stop playing close games against average and below-average teams.
I wouldn’t call Hogorsen new coordinator. Was with us for 4 games last season.
This year, he's implementing his own offense. Last year, he stuck with Satterfield's system because he felt it would be easier for just him to learn the existing offense than to have over 100 players and the coaching staff learn an entirely new one in such a short time.
That's hearkening back to a different era of Husker football. What I'm talking about is the era where no matter what, the other team is gonna get a chance to win it at the end. In the BC game, we were up two scores. It was the stupid ***, never go live in practice, special teams that let them get the ball at the two on the blocked punt and cut it to a one score game. But then the offense did something that they had not done in years... they got the ball and went on a drive, running out the clock! That's progress in my book. The special teams shows a lot of improvement and that will shore up some things. Hopefully we'll be good enough to blow out a few teams like a Cincinnati.
I know most people hate all the radio guys but I like Severe and I like his information, he usually is pretty spot on.
Yeah, that would be some big time movement and big wagers.
"Couldn't care less". (Sorry, I have almost no pet peeves, just kids, marriage, girls that think boob jobs are gross, people that love the environment, smokers, non-smokers, vapors, people that won't drink cheap beer...and people that say "could care less", and guys that cry after sex, which I why I am my own pet peeve)
Pretty much. 10 yard time is probably more important for most players than top end mph.

I like Severe but the only way his opinion on the line is credible is if he's just repeating something Fezzik or another Vegas guy said on a podcast. Probably someone in Vegas knows a group that's going to lay a large bet on Cincy. The thing about that is that there's often someone else laying big on the other side that no one knows about so then the line doesn't move. If Severe is making this line prediction on his own, then he's just guessing.
