"A rematch of the 1997 Orange Bowl, a 41-21 Husker win, it's also the first real test for Bo Pelini after starting out with Western Michigan, San Jose State and New Mexico State. With Missouri and Texas Tech to follow, the Huskers can't afford a loss. This is the second road trip for Tech in a nasty stretch of four road games in five dates."
This is an interesting game for Nebraska fans as it'll be the first "big game" in a while where everyone will be wanting to see almost exclusively the two defenses hustle and bang heads. Not that Nebraskans didn't always enjoy a good defensive struggle, but Virginia Tech has made their name playing the sort of lunch pail defense we all hope Pelini will be bringing back to Nebraska.
Of further interest for Husker fans: there are eleven Big 12 games named in the Top 40 (+1) list of non-conference games. That's three more than the vaunted SEC got but, of course, they can't be expected to play anybody out of conference.
Illinois-Missouri was the top ranked game for the conference and number two overall while SMU at Texas Tech is the lowest ranked game at #41. Somehow, Texas Tech at Nevada also made the list as the Wolfpack is the only bowl team from '07 the Red Raiders play before October 18th. To which I reply: yes, but Nebraska beat them.
--Nebraska season ticket prices are staying the same. That's a nice gesture and all but really wasn't a rebate in order after 2007?

It's nice to see (no pun) that Maurice Purify's game is enhanced with glasses.
Sammy,
My question is does he actually wear glasses or was this just a safety precaution due to the fact that (I presume) a Jugz machine was shooting footballs at his head at about 90 mph?
Are you saying he wasn't catching Joe Ganz' passes?
