Huskers to face rare Thursday matchup

For the first time since 2003, the Husker football team will face an opponent on a Thursday night, as they will take on Missouri in the Big 12 opener for both teams Thursday, Oct. 8, at Columbia, Mo.

This marks the third time in this decade that Nebraska will have faced an opponent on a Thursday night. The last time Nebraska played on Thursday, they beat Southern Miss on the road, 38-14 on Sept. 25, 2003. The other Thursday night game this decade came in 2001, when the Huskers' matchup with Rice was moved back due to the 9/11 tragedy. The Huskers beat Rice in that Sept. 20, 2001 matchup, 48-3.

The Huskers have gotten through the non-conference portion of their schedule in pretty good shape, going 3-1 with wins over three Sun Belt opponents and a heartbreaking 16-15 loss at Virginia Tech.

The Huskers enter Big 12 play taking on the defending North Division champion Missouri Tigers, who are playing very well in spite of the fact the team lost a lot of talent from last year's team that finished as the conference runner-up to Oklahoma.

Missouri has played very well in the two previous meetings with Nebraska. Last year, the Tigers spoiled Nebraska's homecoming with a dominating 52-17 win. In Nebraska's last trip to Faurot Field, the Tigers dominated the Husker football team with a 41-6 triumph.

Huskers' 300th sellout a 55-0 shutout

While Memorial Stadium had a feel for the 1960's, the Husker football team finished off the nonconference portion of its schedule Saturday with a 55-0 shutout of Louisiana-Lafayette in front of the 300th consecutive sellout crowd.

You have to go all the way back to October of 1962 to find the last time a Husker football team didn't play a home game before a full house, and a lot of the attire and the atmosphere brought longtime fans back to the days when the streak started.

The stadium was much smaller then -- capacity of just over 33,000 -- but the love for Husker football has grown along with the stadium and the passion for the team has spanned three generations, from the days of Bob Devaney to the current program being led by Bo Pelini.

With the Huskers wearing throwback uniforms from the 1962 season, Nebraska marched over the Rajun' Cajuns to an easy win, getting the team's first shutout in three seasons. Larry Asante returned an interception for a touchdown and Roy Helu scored a pair of touchdowns to help the Huskers improve to 3-1 on the season.

The Husker football team now turns its attention to Big 12 play, and they will get almost two weeks off before they kick off conference play at Missouri. The Huskers will take on a 4-0 Missouri team that already owns impressive nonconference wins over Illinois and Nevada. They also have won their last three games over Nebraska at Faurot Field, so this Thursday, Oct. 8 matchup will have a lot riding on it for both teams.

The Huskers will be one of the players in the race for the Big 12 North Division title, and you can get great seast to see Nebraska take on Missouri in the Big 12 opener for both teams now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.

Tickets available for 300th consecutive sellout

It has been almost 47 years since the Husker football team played before less than a capacity crowd at home, and Saturday will be a historic occasion as the program continues its all-time record.

The Huskers will take on Louisiana-Lafayette Saturday at Memorial Stadium, and this game is special as it marks the 300th consecutive sellout at the Huskers' home stadium, an ongoing NCAA record. Tickets for the game are available now at Ticket Express.

To give you an idea of how long it has been since the Husker football team did not sell out a home football game, it should be noted that the President of the United States at the time was none other than John F. Kennedy. It was seven years before man first walked on the moon, more than a decade before Watergate and Walter Cronkite was just beginning his work as anchor of the CBS Evening News.

A lot has happened since the Husker football team began its streak of home sellouts, but one thing hasn't changed -- it's a tough place for opposing teams to play, it's always loud and full of passion and it becomes the third largest city in the state when the Huskers take the field at Memorial Stadium.

There will be a lot of highlights this weekend, and you can be a part of it all with tickets from Ticket Express. The Huskers will face Louisana-Lafayette in a night game at Memorial Stadium, and ticktes for the 300th consecutive sellout are available now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.

Huskers to make history Saturday night

When the Husker football team takes the field this Saturday, it will be a historic evening deserving of a little historic fashion.

Saturday will mark the 300th consecutive sellout for the Husker football program, as yet another full house is expected for the Huskers' final non-conference matchup of the year against Louisiana-Lafayette. The two teams will meet at 6 p.m., and tickets are available now at Ticket Express.

Nebraska's game against Missouri on Nov. 3, 1962 marked the first sellout at Memorial Stadium in a streak that has reached well into its fifth decade. Coach Bob Devaney was in his second year as the Husker mentor, and even though the Huskers lost 16-7 on that homecoming Saturday, Husker fans have been filling the house ever since.

Today, every time the Husker football team plays a home game, Memorial Stadium becomes the third largest city in the state of Nebraska. The stadium has grown over the years to its present-day capacity of more than 84,000, but the additional seats have only served to add to the passion Husker fans show every fall Saturday when the Huskers take the field.

The team will mark the historic occasion by wearing throwback uniforms similar to those worn by the Husker football team back when the streak started in 1962. Fans are encouraged to wear 60's-era outfits as part of the celebration, and the 1962 team will be honored during Saturday's game.

You can be a part of history Saturday night. Ticket Express has tickets available for the Huskers' 300th home sellout as they take on the Louisiana-Lafayette Rajun' Cajuns at Memorial Stadium.

Late touchdown gives Hokies 16-15 win

For 58 minutes, the Husker football team looked like the clearly superior team in Blacksburg, Va.

Virginia Tech made an amazing comeback in the final two minutes, however, and came away with a heart-wrenching 16-15 win over the Huskers in a matchup of rated teams Saturday afternoon.

Nebraska got five field goals from junior Alex Henery, but it was the offense's inability to find the end zone that proved to be the Huskers' undoing here.

Nebraska had several chances to get in, but couldn't get the job done. The most damaging opportunity came midway through the final period, when Zac Lee's touchdown pass to Mike McNeil was called back because of a holding call. Ultimately, the Huskers' penalties put them out of field goal range, leaving the Hokies with a chance to come back.

Nebraska had pinned Virginia Tech deep in their own territory with less than two minutes to go, but Danny Coale found a gap in the Husker secondary and made a fingertip catch of a Tyrod Taylor pass to put the Hokies in scoring position at the Nebraska 3-yard line.

The Husker defense came up big on two plays, pushing the Hokies back, but Taylor scrambled on third and goal and found Dyrell Roberts, who made a diving catch in the end zone to give Virginia Tech the victory.

The Huskers will be back home this week for a historic game, as they will face Louisiana-Lafayette for the team's 300th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium. The Huskers will wear throwback jerseys for the final non-conference game of the season.

While the school is calling Saturday's game a sellout, there are still plenty of great seats available for Saturday's game between the Huskers and the Rajun' Cajuns. You can get your tickets now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.

Husker defense to do battle with Hokies on Saturday

A great defensive effort will be important for the Huskers this week as they take on a talented Virginia Tech team in a 2:30 p.m. CDT game Saturday at Blacksburg, Va.

Defensive coordinator Carl Pelini said Wednesday that linebacker Phillip Dillard will be moved to the WILL position, a move that Pelini said serves two purposes.

"We're creating competition wherever we can get it," he said. "We have guys a little banged up. (Matthew) May has a stinger, Blake's (Lawrence) got the ankle, and we're just trying to get guys on the field who are healthy and who are going to run the football and execute, that's all."

The Huskers will be looking to slow down a high-powered Virginia Tech offense that has racked up 508 yards in games against Alabama and Marshall. The Hokies bring a 1-1 record into the game and are looking to match their win over the Huskers in Lincoln last year.

The Husker offense has been solid in the early going, with quarterback Zac Lee doing a good job in spreading the wealth and directing a talented offense. Roy Helu has been outstanding at running back, while the receiving corps, including Niles Paul and tight end Mike McNeil, have performed well in helping the Huskers average 43.5 points in their first two games.

It should be a great matchup as the Huskers take on the Hokies this weekend. The Huskers will return home next week to take on Louisiana-Lafayette in the final non-conference game before Big 12 play.

Huskers take second win of the season

The Husker football team keeps rolling early in the 2009 season, as they dominated their second straight Sun Belt Conference opponent with a 38-9 win over Arkansas State on Saturday.

The win gives the Huskers a 2-0 record heading into a key nonconference road battle. The 19th ranked Huskers will head east to take on 13th ranked Virginia Tech in a night battle at Blacksburg, Va., and you can get tickets at Ticket Express.

The Huskers played well in Saturday's win, led by the 340-yard, four-touchdown effort by quarterback Zac Lee. Lee completed 27-of-35 passes and spread the wealth out to 11 different receivers. Niles Paul caught a career-best six passes and scored two touchdowns, including one on a well-executed 30-yard reverse. Mike McNeil also caught two touchdown passes to help the Huskers rack up 494 yards in total offense to help the Huskers to a quick 21-0 first-half lead.

The Nebraska defense played much better and held the Red Wolves to 272 yards in total offense. Larry Asante led the defensive effort with seven solo tackles and forced the game's lone turnover, and Ndamukong Suh had 1.5 quarterback sacks as part of a defense that pressured the Red Wolves offense throughout the day.

The Husker football team is halfway through the non-conference portion of its schedule and will have two tough games the next two weeks in preparation for Big 12 Conference play. This week, they travel to Blacksburg, Va., to take on Virginia Tech. The Hokies are ranked 13th in the latest AP poll and will look for its second straight win against the 19th ranked Huskers.

Next week will be a special week as the Huskers take on Louisiana-Lafayette. The Huskers will play before the 300th straight capacity crowd at Memorial Stadium and will take on a Rajun Cajun team that posted a comeback win over Kansas State last week.

Husker football team looking for sixth straight win

Quick quiz, Husker fans...when was the last time Nebraska won six consecutive games?

Believe it or not, you have to go all the way back to 2001 when the Huskers started the season 11-0 to find the last six-game winning streak put together by a Husker football team. Nebraska will get a chance to go after their sixth consecutive win this Saturday when they host Arkansas State in a 1 p.m. matchup at Memorial Stadium.

Last year, Nebraska closed the regular season with wins over Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado, then came back to beat Clemson in the Gator Bowl to finish 2008 with a four-game win streak. They stretched that string to five last week with a 49-3 win over Florida Atlantic, and will go for the six-pack this weekend against the Red Wolves.

The current win streak the Husker football team is on is just the fifth of four games or longer this decade. Nebraska won seven straight during the 2000 season, won 11 in a row in 2001 and won their first five games before finishing 10-3 in Frank Solich's final year as coach in 2003. The last extended win streak came two years later when coach Bill Callahan directed the Huskers to a 4-0 start before going 4-4 to close the 2005 season at 8-4.

Nebraska hasn't seen a lot of action against teams from the state of Arkansas over the years. In fact, the last time a Nebraska team faced a team from the home of former preisdent Bill Clinton was the 1964 Cotton Bowl, when No. 6 Nebraska lost a 10-7 heartbreaker to No. 2 Arkansas. This is the first-ever meeting between the Huskers and the Red Wolves and the second straight Sun Belt Conference team the Huskers have played this year.

While the Husker football team will be playing before an ongoing-record 299th straight sellout, you can get great seats to watch the Huskers in action against Arkansas State now at Ticket Express  -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.

Husker football team handles Owls, 49-3

Another exciting year of Husker football kicked off Saturday as Nebraska dominated the Florida Atlantic Owls with a 49-3 triumph. The 1-0 Huskers will be at home again this week to face Arkansas State, and great Husker football tickets are available now at Ticket Express.

The one thing Husker fans were anxious to see was how new quarterback Zac Lee would handle being under the hot lights of Husker Nation. The sophomore performed quite well, throwing for more than 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and did a good job managing the Nebraska offense.

The defense showed signs of needing improvement, but overall played a very solid game. The Owls managed more than 350 yards in total offense and 22 first downs against the Blackshirts, but the Huskers did keep Florida Atlantic from crossing the goal line, limiting the Owls to a second-period 21-yard field goal by Ross Gornall.

Nebraska football tickets continue their tradition of being a hot ticket, as more than 84,000 fans gathered at Memorial Stadium to be a part of the 298th consecutive sellout, continuing a tradition that dates back to 1962. Husker football tickets are a time-honored tradition, and that tradition is expected to continue.

That doesn't mean great seats aren't available to see the Huskers in action. Ticket Express has great Husker football tickets available to see Nebraska in action Saturday afternoon as they take on the Arkansas State Red Wolves. The Red Wolves are coming off a high-scoring win over Mississippi Valley State, which should make Saturday's matchup an interesting test for the Huskers.
