Nebraska held off a second-half Cincinnati rally to secure a 20-17 victory at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Dylan Raiola tossed two touchdown passes for the Cornhuskers, including a crucial 3-yard strike to Dane Key in the fourth quarter that proved to be the difference. Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby kept the Bearcats in contention with two rushing touchdowns, but Nebraska's defense stood tall in the final minutes to preserve their season-opening win.
