[Husker] VA Tech

[Jerry Meyer]

I don't know about anyone else, but this game kind of feels like the 1997 game on the road at Washington.  Huskers ranked about #7 and Washington #2.  Huskers were kind of suspect after a couple of games against lower tier opponents, giving up a lot of yards against Central Florida and winning 38-24 the week before.  I remember that the team came of age under Scott Frost that day, winning 27-14 (wasn't really even that close on the field, just on the scoreboard).  With a couple of exceptions that team was really never challenged the remainder of the year (Missouri and Colorado were the only close games after that, much too close for my comfort!).  I get the feeling that we're on the brink of something that will set this program up to challenge nationally for several years to come.  No more feeling good just to be ranked in the top 25 but disappointed if we're not top 10 caliber or better.  Just my gut feeling.
