Ndamukong Suh is planning to make big plays on Saturday and the Huskers are planning to win—on the road against a top-20 team.
According to Samuel McKewon of Nebraska State Paper:
We’ve spent enough time around the Nebraska defensive tackle to know this: Suh returned for his senior season, in part, to get his degree. Education matters to him. And that’s good.
But he also returned for weeks like this. For games like Virginia Tech. For road trips to Nastytown, known this week as Blacksburg, where 66,000-plus mean-muggers await in Lane Stadium to harass Suh and his teammates.
Suh came back to make big plays in big games. Sacks. Picks. Bulldozer tackles behind the line of scrimmage. On the road. Against one of the best offensive lines on the East Coast.
“I wouldn’t have come back if I didn’t feel like this team has the pieces to go out and win these type of games,” Suh said. “I didn’t come back to be 9-4 again. I came back to be 14-0. That’s the plan.”
That’s right. It matters not what sportswriters say about Nebraska’s chances this year. Suh sees us going 14-0 and so does Bo Pelini. I, for one, wouldn’t have it any other way.
We deserced to lose that game vs VT! We have no heart! Once again, I think we all drank too much of the Big Red Cool Aid!!!
Bullshit. In no way did we “deserve” to lose this hard fought game. We didn’t play great, but we played well enough to win.
