I know this isn't the last 8 years. I'm not comparing this certain Nebraska team with any other one, I'm just saying as you noted as well its been 12 years since we beat a top 20 team on the road, and we will have to play a very smart game to overcome Beamer at VT.
I'm just afraid of people having your attitude, then seeing Nebraska come out and play poor and have the same old discussions about how we just aren't there yet. It will hurt a lot to have that hope and expectations and be let down. I know some are positive from 2 games we played this yeaer and the games we won last year, but this Va Tech team is better than anyone Pelini has beaten. But it is his chance to show that he is a good coach, but even if he doesnt win this one, we still have the rest of the year and other games to look forward to.
I would rather think we will win a game and lose, then think we will lose.
