Hokies 35, Huskers 30

Seems the Husker football team is still a-growing under our new head coach and his philosophies and staff, and that was painfully obvious last Saturday as Virginia Tech came into town and wreaked some havoc. Final score: Hokies 35, Huskers 30. Tech's below-average offense looked pretty decent as their elusive quarterback found wide-open receivers all day long. In fact, the score probably should have been a bit worse as he missed those wide-open receivers on a couple of occasions for sure touchdowns. Our defense did a good job of containing their quarterback, who is one of the most elusive and dangerous in the nation, but something had to give in order for that to happen. What gave was our secondary coverage. They're a young bunch, and still learning, so here's hoping they took some good notes last Saturday.

It was actually pretty amazing to watch our defense begin to dig in and stop the Hokies as they neared the red zone early in the fourth quarter, amidst a valiant and mounting Husker comeback. But that all went downhill after a personal foul was called for a late hit, followed by another personal foul after Coach Pelini wouldn't stop harassing the refs for the aforementioned late hit. Ouch. We had the Hokies in a third-and-long situation from our 30 yard line, but after the penalties they had the ball first-and-goal from about the 9. Did I say "ouch?" I love Pelini's fire and passion, but this was a bit much, and he admitted to it in post-game interviews.

Still, even after all that went wrong, the Huskers kept fighting until the final second ticked off the game clock. It was a wonderful thing to watch them not give up because Husker Nation hasn't seen such effort in over four years. And, I would like to think they learned a few things on Saturday. It appears they did, based on comments coming out of practice this week. While I would love to see wins, all I can ask of this young and growing group is to keep fighting and keep learning. I got my wish last week.

Next up? Those pesky Tigers of Mizzou. It's homecoming this Saturday and Chase Daniel and Company will be in town with their high-flying show. They're ranked fourth in the nation, and this will be another night game televised on ESPN. I have been invited to go to the game this week, and you can bet I will be screaming, and screaming loud. I don't expect us to come out on top in this one, but I do expect us to at least give Missouri a scare into thinking we have the potential to beat them. And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, we will. Think Oregon State over USC. Anything is possible. Anything.

My prediction come Saturday, as usual.

GO BIG RED!!
