Nebraska 8/28 ESPN 9:00

[bearcatbret]

The 52 yarder by Nebraska may be the game. 6-3 right now Huskers, so UC's offense needs to get moving.

[longtimefan]

I still hate the three man defensive front.

[Lobot]

I have not heard a peep about tickets sold by UC. I'm really curious how many were sold through the ticket office.

[Illuminerdski]

All I can say is that I hope this is the year Coach Satterfield turns things around. Go Bearcats.

Near capacity at Arrowhead tonight. Their ticketmaster.com program has only 550 seats left. I didn't check after-market. This indicates probably a crowd around 75K.

[Bearcat Chris]

Agreed. This is a nationally televised ESPN game, with no other football competition this evening, and there seems to be vey little interest. I guess that is what happens when you have two losing seasons in a row.

doesn't seem like there's too much excitement for this game on the forum... I understand because of the last few years I guess but maybe if we win people will get more excited for football to be back...

[swilsonsp4]

Weather should be no factor. It certainly won't be hot. Current forecast at KO: 59F, wind 3 MPH, 0% precipitation.

I'm going to make an assumption that he was not on the travel squad but I might be wrong.

Chad Brendel reported that the player was not expected to play tomorrow night. The University has not released the player's name (that I've seen).

WLWT / Channel 5 is reporting an unnamed UC football player was riding a scooter this morning and was hit by a car at Clifton/Straight. He is in stable condition and is expected to be discharged today -- hopefully nothing more than the minor Simas Lukosius situation from a couple years ago.

This spot on for NU fans traveling.. I've heard estimates that Big Red bought 60,000 of the 76,000 available seats and possibly more.

Here is hoping we score early and often to take the crowd out of the game. I'm not ready to make a prediction, but this game will be close unless there's a lot of turnovers. My hope is Dylan tries too much flash and dance forcing things in where they're simply not there, and the Bearcats benefit from Sorsby's better decision making/maturity. Since most games come down to who makes the fewest mistakes/turnovers, I give UC the advantage. I also give UC the advantage there because Dontay is fully healthy and playing for draft position; he will disrupt making Dylan have to improvise.

Game week

Nebraska favored by 6.5 points

[Lobot]

Don't underestimate NU. They have the 3rd best QB in the Big 10, and each year they have gotten better. Additionally, as Nebraska sits right above Kansas, and NU always travels well, expect 80% of the fans to be NU fans. The game is winnable for UC, but it will have to be a "perfect" game for us to pull this one out.

B.C.

P.S. Tickets for the game on the internet start at $132 per seat. Expect a HUGE crowd.
