This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the team discusses last week's season-opening victory over Cincinnati.

While the Bearcats made the game more interesting than Husker fans would have preferred, over 70,000 Nebraska fans went home happy after the final whistle blew on Nebraska's 20-17 win. The Huskers dominated the time of possession and the defense did a good job of shutting down the Cincy offense outside of some quarterback runs from Brendan "The Model" Sorsby.

Dylan Raiola completed 78.5% of his passes along with two touchdowns to two Husker newcomers, Nyziah Hunter and Dane Key. Emmett Johnson rolled for over 100 rushing yards, and the defense forced two turnovers. Meanwhile, we got punts away and two field goals including a career best 52-yarder from Kyle Cunanan.

Are improvements needed? Yes. But let's not pretend that we lost and the world is coming to an end.

Go Big Red.

Always.
