Gary Sharp joins the Common Fans to share his reactions to the Cincinnati game and talk about what’s next for Nebraska football.

• Gary saw plenty of issues for the Huskers to fix, but the game didn’t fundamentally change his outlook for the Big Red in 2025.
• Defensive line, depth at running back are obvious areas in need of improvement. 
• Gary also mentions the linebacker play as something he was surprised at. 
• The good news: there were several mistakes that can be chalked up to game-one sloppiness. The key will be cleaning those up in the next two weeks. 
• Also plenty to like from the game. 
• Solid outing from Dylan. 
• Plus-two turnover margin. 
• And, of course, a Nebraska W.

Plus, the crew gets into some timely questions:

• What does Matt Rhule want from this offense?
• If Nebraska goes into the Michigan game at 3-0, will they be ranked?
• What’s fair to expect from this defense?
• Is all of this building for 2026?
