The Nebraska football team began the Bo Pelini era with a 2 ½ hour practice in helmets and shorts at the Hawks Championship Center on Wednesday afternoon. Pelini sent the team through drills and breakout work as the Huskers prepare for the annual Red-White Spring Game, which will be held on April 19.
“It was what we expected,” Pelini said of the first day of spring ball. “You are not going to be game ready on the first day. There were a lot of mistakes, but the effort was great. There were a lot of guys flying around and having fun. We will make progress from here.”

We all are, Pete. Can’t wait for the VA Tech game–our first chance to measure up against a really good team.

You can see the old philosophy of big guys going down the drain….Dillard got as big as 265 lbs last year and weighed in at a trim 238….Castille also dropped some pounds….as did Turner and Potter. I personally think Marlon should drop about 10-15 lbs.

Speaking of VA Tech, I think we’ll win. We all know that our offense can score points and put up big yards, even if the defense were facing is good. We put up 39 on KU, 31 on USC, and not to mention the 73 against KSU. We all know our defense will be improved, but the real question is how good will the D actually be. Even if our defense isnt top-ten quality, I still think it will be good enough to stop the crappy VA Tech offense (especially now that Brandon Ore is gone). Also, were at home. All these fatcors seem to be in our favor and frankly, I dont think VA Tech is that great. Sure they’re arguably to team in the ACC but the ACC sucks. VA Tech’s offense is crap. All we have to do is score 30+ points and I think we win. Who else agrees with me?

One thing I forgot to mention is effort. I’m absolutely positive that our guys will make it a close game no matter if we win or lose. Bo is to have this team playing at the highest level possible; another thing in our favor!

I was looking at some of Tech’s message boards and it looks like a lot of their fans think NU is going to win, they arn’t expecting anything big out of their team until 2009. Sounds like they will be using their allotment of tickets though.
