We Will Beat VT if...

[huskerguy]

... complete the sentence with something that you think will be crucial in the game (try and stay away from obvious things like uhh score more points, score over 40 pts, etc...)

 

We Will Beat VT if...

 

...Mike McNeil can stretch the defense in our passing game.

[Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red]

We will beat VT if...

 

We can avoid being Beamer Ball'd.

[n.e.husker]

....If our O-line keeps Lee upright

and opens holes for the backs.

 

....and the D containing Tyrod would be nice also.

[Scarlet Overkill]

If the Husker D finds a way to force Tyrod to pass. Probably not going to happen, but I can dream VT's running game gets shut down, can't I? Why, yes! Yes I can!

[Twodocs]

the Big 12 officals hang some payback calls and lay a few unsportmanmlike calls when the VT coaches go beserk over the lousy calls.

 

Since, the only reason they beat us was they had the ACC officals when they needed them the most!!!

just sayin they may not have the ACC refs to hand them the game on a silver platter!

[huskerjack23]

Lee and co. keep the ball with the guys in white.

[Blackshirt316]

There's a higher number next to the NU than there is next to the VT once the game is over.

[IceMan]

Stuff the lanes and get pressure on Tyrod!

[BIGREDIOWAN]

If we keep Tyrod inside the ends and contain him.

[TheCheshireCat]

STOP THE RUN.

[Husker_x]

Keep the turnover margin neutral and avoid special teams mistakes.

[BlackShirt1340]

.... the defense force Tyrod to pass. If they stuff the run and require Taylor to put the game on his throwing arm, it is OVER, chalk it up as a victory. There is no way they win without the running game. Mark my words.

 

..... Oh yeah... unless we get the Sh#t Beamer Ball'd out of us....

 

Then I will stare at the tv for three days like this...

[huskerfan711]

the D plays mistake free football.

[JTrain]

Hold them to less than five big plays (20+ yards), hold them to less than four ypc, and don't let them block any punts or score on any returns.

[JTrain]

Last year, the game was basically decided on two plays in the first quarter. First, they blocked a punt in the endzone for a safety. Then, Ganz made a poor decision trying to throw over one of the best corners in the nation (Macho Harris) in our own territory, giving them the ball at our five yard line which quickly led to a TD. After that we played them very evenly, and there's no reason to think we can't do the same this time.
