#2 Texas at #6 Nebraska, Saturday 9/26/2009

This is going to be a great match! I'd love to see us hand Texas their first loss of the season.

I went to the Texas-Iowa State match on Friday. Good loud crowd of about 3500 people. ISU was pretty scrappy and hung tough in Gregory Gym but Texas was too much. I liked ISU's strategy, they were pushing the ball back over pretty quickly and it seemed to catch Texas off guard a bit the first couple of games, but by the third game UT made some adjustments and it was over. Juliann Faucette had some big blocks at important times. Ashley Engle is an outstanding setter, she is fun to watch and makes good decisions. I thought she was getting really good passes to work with. UT's defense is starting to look pretty tough.

This will be a good test for the Huskers but I think we are up to the task. Go Big Red!

NU has the talent to beat anyone, IMO. They're not quite running on all cylinders yet though. Once they do, it bad news for the Big 12.

And.. isn't Destinee Hooker like in her 7th year? She won't go away!

and yea, we do have the talent to beat anyone.. they need more time together to get it all to mesh though... this team will be tough to beat down the stretch...

If you saw the video of the cute little 3 year old at the Phillies game last week (I think about everybody's seen it).... it was Hannah Werth's brother Jayson who hit the foul ball. That Hannah is going to be the real deal.

Need to avoid the service errors to be able to win... 5 in set 1 way to many to have a chance against a great team like texas.

 

[Husker Runner]

These hitting errors are not helping us any either.

Service errors keep killing the Huskers' momentum.

Up 22-17 in the 2nd set. Let's close out this set.
