Akron Game Preview

I might hit this game up. That 630 kickoff is not bad and if it is a blowout we can leave Lincoln around 8:30 and be home by 10.

But still get plenty of DRANKS in before the game.

I think the point spread was around -5.5 (WYO). And Akron has been really bad for a long time.

I don't think they are a good team but they have provided some competition in recent years. They took Indiana to overtime in 2023. Last year was a reasonable close game with Rutgers until late in the third. It was 21-10. South Carolina was similar - It was 22-7 with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd. They lead against Ohio State last year until the end of the 1st. 17 to 3 at half time and then Ohio State ran away with it.

Their 1st string guys are about as big as any we will see and have some decent talent- they just have no depth. We should beat them soundly but don't be surprised if it is close at half time.
 
Winning this weekend just made me more anxious for next week’s games. Do we come out and dominate like we should? Do we win but struggle more in some areas? Does Cincinnati come out and win easily?

Akron was 4-8 last year, including losing to Ohio State 52-6, Rutgers 49-17 and South Carolina 50-7.
Akron gave up 426 yards to Wyoming and only gained 231. They averaged 3.7 yards per pass and 3.4 yards per rush.

If this is anything but a relatively easy win, we are in a world of hurt.

I get that. I’m just anxious to see if we accomplish what we should. I think we will. Just will be relieved when we do.

We should see back up QB sometime in the late third quarter.

Yeah. Akron is really bad. 42% comp, 3-15 on third downs, 3.2 yrd/rush. But their punter averaged 48.3 yrd/punt. And it was a home game for them.

Probably should be more concerned with Houston Christian who won their opener 69-0.

By Friday we will see how posters post their depth chart and circle some guys that are "big" or "NFL talent"

This betting line should be NU -23 and NU should win 50-10

That may translate to a 24 - 17 win in Nebraska's real world of likelihoods.

My guess

1. Amazing first quarter that results in a 35 to 10 type game but with little to no action after the first quarter

2. Total struggle fest where our fans post about how young we are and that is why we struggled.
