Nebraska will see three very tough teams in the next three weeks as they try to continue their rebuilding from last year's 5-7 disaster.
First up is a tough Virginia Tech team that started out the season ranked before being upset in their season opener against East Carolina. The Hokies are the defending ACC champions and have had to battle through injuries and some suspensions, but will bring some new looks that the Husker defense has yet to see this season. The game will be on ABC and will be a night game, so it should be an exciting non-conference finale before the Huskers go into Big 12 play.
And if you're going to go into conference play, why not go in with a big one? The Huskers scheduled their homecoming week activities around their opener with defending North Division champion Missouri, and the Tigers will bring a high-powered offense and a very stout defense to Lincoln in an effort to try to win at Memorial Stadium for the first time since 1978, when they derailed Nebraska's national championship homes with a 35-31 win.
The following week, Nebraska goes on the road for the first of four conference road tests, and they'll head down to Texas to take on another high-flying offensive unit in the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Red Raiders aren't afraid to throw the ball, but they've had a hard time stopping opposing offensive units in recent years. So far, they look to have a very tough defense to go with that high-powered offense so it will be a tough first road tilt for the Huskers.
