I did some covert ops on the Nebraska Cornhuskers earlier in the month and I can tell you that this week’s game is going to be a tough one. The Huskers look to be a continuous threat offensively (in the game I attended they laid dormant most of the first two quarters before breaking out in to some big plays and racking up insurance TDs by the end of the game - like playing Hurst in Madden). I fear that there is a number explosive players on the Nebraska offense and they will be the biggest threat to the Hokies. Primarily, I hope we will be able to cover receivers and prevent the long ball attack.

Our greatest strength lies in Tyrod Taylor who can showcase moves Nebraska probably haven’t seen much of in the Big 12. Hopefully Tyrod can break plays open and get down the field for scores on his feet when needed but we also need to call more pass plays on first and second downs. Stinespring’s decisions were heavily questioned throughout the UNC game by a pair of commentators who needed only one game to see why Hokie fans get so frustrated with his play calls. Although the same announcers also droned on and on about Sean Glennon and how he was a fantastic quarterback in our home opener, seemingly glossing over his two opening play drive-killing interceptions, so I don’t know how reliable they are. In the end I think that it will be a great primetime game between two teams ranked just outside the top 25 and the winner will likely find themselves with a spot on the big board for the win.

Bo Pelini lets see what you got… If the (6 point favorite) Huskers score 35 points I think we lose for sure, if not, I think we have an outside shot at the win. Even if we do fall on Saturday to Nebraska, I can’t think of a more polite and enjoyable fan base to savor a victory nor a college town/state capital that I’d like see us lose in more. Those people were salt of the earth, and I have no idea what that means.

Score Prediction (only if we hold the Huskers to under 35): Virginia Tech 34, Nebraska 28
