There is a lot of interest in this game, as last year the Red Raiders slapped the crap out of the Huskers to the tune of 70-10. Click the link to read an article that shows some good perspective from the Huskers.

Coach Bill Callahan says: "All the Knute Rockne pep talks before a game go out the window when that ball is kicked," coach Bill Callahan said. "We're not going to jump up and down and get mad about something. It's a different year, a different team, a whole different dynamic than a year ago."
Absolutely right. The Huskers are undefeated going into the game, we've seen a dramatic defensive improvement, and if the offense can replicate its ability to move the ball (and improve redzone play), Tech has its hands full. Texas texh leads the NCAA in points per game, but they also played a middle school, I think.
Bo Ruud: "Nobody intimidates us," he said. "You can sit there and work yourself into a frenzy. Right now we're doing what we've done every game. That means we're not going to talk trash in the media. We're trying to keep it on the level."
This is one reason I love Nebraska football. The media is quick to jump on any type of controversy, and Mr. Ruud lays it on the line quite nicely. Last season's debacle will not be repeated, and I am anxious to get this win under our belts.
