Photo by Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The last time Husker fans saw the Akron Zips, they were heading to the airport in the middle of an epic squall line of thunderstorms that wiped out Nebraska’s 2018 season opener. Immediately after kickoff, the first bolts of lightning hit near downtown Lincoln, and Mother Nature didn’t relent for nearly nine hours, until well after 3 am Sunday morning. By that time, Akron was already back home despite Nebraska’s attempts to placate Fox’s limitations on rescheduling...

Cincinnati Bearcats 2025 Football Preview

Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images The 2025 version of the Bearcats bears minimal resemblance to last year’s edition. Season openers are always a bit of a challenge, as what might look like a good (or bad) team on paper might turn out to be just the opposite when games actually kick off. And now in the transfer portal era with so many players switching teams, it’s even more of a challenge. How do these new players fit into another program? Are teams upgrading talent or...
