Nebraska Looking Good

September 16th 2009 21:06


Life was good in the 90’s for the husker nation, between 1993-97 seasons they went 60-3 and took home 3 national championships in 4 years. Since then things have been very inconsistent. Since 2000 they have posted a 74-40 record and have been in and out of the AP poll.

Things seem to be getting back on track under Bo Pelini in his 2nd year under the helm. Nebraska is ranked 19 in the nation and looks good in a tough Big 12.They will have the opportunity to make a statement this week as they face the number 13 Virginia Tech. The huskers haven’t won a game against a ranked opponent since 06′ and need to prove to the voters that they are the real deal.


The offense is running on all cylinders putting up 87 points and over 900 yards in total yards which is 17 in the nation. They are lead by quarterback Zac Lee whose thrown for 533 yards and 6 touchdowns. Its all gonna comedown to if the Husker defense can stop Tyrod Taylor and keep him from making the big plays. He hasn’t been that passing threat so far but he can still be dangerous be it from his running ability or making that big pass.

If they can pull this one off Nebraska might sneak there way into the top ten if things go there way. If all goes well they will make or break there season on Nov. 7 when they welcome the Oklahoma Sooners to Lincoln. Depending how high the sooners are ranked ( and if Sam Bradford is healthy or not) the winner of that game will definitely be the favorite to play Texas in the Big 12 championship. The future looks bright but there destiny is there hands.
