Unfortunately the Blogger locked the blog and all previous posts were deleted. Anyone following knows the story behind the previous 5 games. The Huskers start off 3-0 until they ran in V-Tech and lost a close game that probably should have been won by Nebraska. The O-line and the defense didn't show up until the 4th quarter when the Skers started to make their comeback. Nate Swift started the came back charge for the Huskers with a punt return that ended up being the 4th longest in school history. Late in the fourth Ganz lead a strong touchdown drive that ended in the end zone in the hands of Todd Peterson leaving the Huskers only a few points behind and time to win the game. The defense held V-Tech to what everyone thought was going to be a punt situation when the sker's Suh had a controversial late hit penalty that kept V-Tech alive! After a few more penalties V-Tech put the ball in the end zone again and that pretty much ended the game.



Game 5 brought #5 Mizzou to Lincoln. The Huskers knew Missouri was going to be a tough team lead by one hell of a quarter back Chase Daniel and plenty of other offensive weapons. When the game started the Tigers stormed down and put it in the end zone. Nebraska answered right back and no problem putting the ball in the end zone but unlike Mizzou, Nebraska didn't find the scoreboard again until the end of the second when they managed a to put up a field goal. We all the game was a blow out and I credit the problems to a defense that couldn't stop anything and a O-line that could have been blown over by a 10mph wind! I will credit Bo and the Skers for not quiting, after the being blown out of the water, in the final seconds Nebraska scored another touchdown when everyone even the commentators thought they would just let the time run out.



Now for Game 6, the huskers go on the road to match up with a talented #7 Texas Tech team. What a wild finish huh? The interception at the end of the game was a little bit of a disappointment but i think it in no way overwhelms the play of the huskers throughout the whole game! Scoreless in the first, putting 7 on the board in the second, 3 in the third, and an astonishing 21 points in the fourth to put the game in OT. Tieing up the game was a 17 yard TD pass from Joe Ganz to Todd Peterson.
Then came the OT Texas Tech goes and scores and MISSES the extra point leaving it up to the Huskers to go down and score and put this upset away. Unfortunately Ganz tossed an interception to end the game. But looking at the stats NU should have took the game, the skers controlled the ball twice as long as Texas Tech. The Huskers had 29 first downs opposed to TT's 16 nearly 100 more passing yards and beat TT on total yards gained. The score doesn't show it but on paper the Huskers beat Tech to bad whats on paper doesn't count for much!

Over all good game and lets turn this into a turning point in the season for the Husker Nation!!
