This one’s all about Thursday night: Nebraska vs Cincinnati. We break down what Raiola and the Huskers offense absolutely have to do to walk out 1–0. We open with why this matchup matters and how it sets the tone for the season. From there, it’s a straight shot into Dylan Raiola—what we’ve seen, what worries us, and what has to click with the receivers and O‑line. We get into Cincinnati’s profile and where Nebraska can exploit them, the few spots the Bearcats can make life annoying, and the exact things we want to see from Rhule’s game plan. Then we close with score predictions and where the Huskers need to be better in money downs. It’s blunt, it’s fan-first, and we’re not sugarcoating a thing. 📌 TOPICS COVERED: 00:00 Intro – Why this Cincinnati game matters 01:00 Nebraska Offense – Raiola expectations & WR timing 03:00 O‑Line & Run Game – What has to work early 10:00 Matchup Talk – Where Cincinnati can punch back 11:00 Adjustments – How Nebraska should counter 14:00 Predictions – Win/Loss talk & confidence level 15:00 Money Downs – 3rd down, red zone, finishing drives 22:00 Re‑Set – What will tell us the story by halftime 23:00 What We Want to See – Identity checks on offense 25:00 Final Thoughts – Keys we’ll live or die by What say you, Husker Nation—are we overrating the offense or is this the night Raiola plants the flag?
