[Husker] "Crazy"

[Jay Saunders]

If you would have asked me a month ago what I thought of VT, I would have given you a different answer.

Now the Hokies don't scare me nearly as much as they did coming off of last season. I understand the concern about the dual threat QB, but this guy isn't nearly as good as some of the quarterbacks that have given us trouble the past few seasons.

Virginia Tech may actually be one of the worst offenses we've seen this season. I'm interested to see how Bo game plans for the Hokies.

I am concerned about moving the ball against the lunch pail defense. I thought North Carolina's offense was impressive; and from what I saw, VT did a nice job shutting them down.

Huskers 21
VT 17

Please let me be right - it's been a while since the Huskers have looked good on national television.
