Nebraska Cornhuskers

The Common Fans discuss Nebraska’s dominating win over Akron.

  • Not much went wrong for the Big Red on Saturday night, as Nebraska dominated Akron in every facet of the game. 
  • While the Zips are clearly not very good, it was still a sign of progress for this program to put away a team in such an overwhelming fashion. 
  • A win like this was what everyone needed: the team, the program, the entire fan base, all of Husker Nation. 
  • Six different Huskers scored touchdowns en route to the 68-0 drubbing. 
  • Dylan Raiola was on top of his game, throwing for 364 yards as Nebraska’s offense racked up 728 total yards. 
  • Backup QB TJ Lateef looked strong as well. 
  • Emmett Johnson is on the way to a special season. 
  • Promising performance from multiple young guys on both sides of the ball. 
  • Big steps forward for the defense and special teams. 
  • One more tune-up this week before the showdown against Michigan on Sept. 20.
