It’s time for football.

According to KETV, tomorrow’s opponent Louisiana Tech enters the season with some pent-up hostility. After going 7-4 last season, Tech was not extended a bowl invitation.

We also need to factor in George Darlington’s return to Lincoln. He spent 30 years as an assistant coach at Nebraska before he was fired by Frank Solich in 2002. He’s now the defensive coordinator at Louisiana Tech. So, expect some D from the Bulldogs.

Another factor: La Tech likes to play marquis schools. “They want to go after the big guys,” said Nebraska linebacker Corey McKeon. “Their saying, which, I’m sorry, is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard is: Anyone, anywhere, anytime,’ over a picture of our stadium. That makes me anxious to send them home unhappy.”

This will be the second meeting between the schools. In 1998, the Huskers destroyed La Tech, 56-27 in the Eddie Robinson Football Classic.

[UPDATE] In route to a 49-10 victory, NU amassed 332 yards passing and 252 rushing. There’s the balanced attack we were promised. According to the Kansas City Star, “No Nebraska tight end had caught a scoring pass since the second game of Callahan’s first season. Saturday, four different tight ends scored.”
