[Husker] Road Warriors

[Dick Karre]

The one glimmer of hope that I see for Nebraska on Saturday is the 
Huskers' road record under Pelini. In his 3+ seasons, NU has played 15 
true road games (i.e., games played at the opponent's stadium), winning 
11. Aside from the '08 debacle in Norman, the losses have been very 
close - a six-point OT loss in Lubbock; a last-second one-point loss to 
VaT;  last year's screw job/mess in College Station - and NU could 
(should?) have won all three. (By comparison, NU is 21-5 at home during 
this period - including a number of nonconference creampuffs - and 2-3 
at neutral sites.)

For whatever reason, Bo's boys almost always play well on the road. 
Let's hope that trend continues Saturday.
