Roughly 24 hours until kick-off! Hope all your fan have safe trips.

I'll be leaving work in a few hours and making the 2 hour drive to Blacksburg shortly thereafter. Doubt I'll be on here much between now and Sunday (I'm planning on stopping back here, win or lose).

I'm looking forward to hanging with your husker faithful that make the trip. I hope we treat 'em well and that they enjoy trip (with the exception of the outcome the game).

Have enjoyed hanging out here this week. Y'all got some real cool cats. B)

PS: My prediction - 38-27 VT. I think we're going to see more offense than most people think.

One highlight of Jamrog's talk was a story about a challenge to the team concerning ball security. He said freshman running back Rex Burkhead was given a football early in fall camp by Pelini to carry around and bring back the next day. His freshman teammates were told to protect him, and the upperclassmen were instructed to get the ball from him.

Jamrog said there were special instructions for defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh — Pelini told him ‘Suh, I don't want you to throw him up in the air' — but Burkhead arrived safely the next day with the ball and gave it back to Pelini.

Of course, Pelini was disappointed the older players weren't able to get the ball. So, the next day the roles were reversed. This time, an upperclassman successfully returned the ball.

On the third day, the ball went back to the freshmen. Just before practice time, when an unnamed freshman was about to return the ball to the coach, he was promptly smothered by eight upperclassmen pouncing on the ball.

“It's a mind-set of attacking the football,” Jamrog said.

Also, Jamrog said the Huskers are taking 88 players to Blacksburg, including 26 who are walk-ons. The travel number will dwindle to 70 for Big 12 games. Jamrog said because of improved depth, it will be harder to make the travel squad this year.

“This year we're going to have some tough decisions on who those (travel) players are,” he said.
