Hey Bay Area Husker Fans,
Another tough win against the Cyclones, but the Huskers showed they could play all four quarters (not all as well as some) on both sides of the ball. With a win this weekend at Kansas State, the Huskers will be lining up to play for the Big 12 North title against Mizzou at the Homecoming game on November 4th. Not to say that they won't also be focused on Texas and Oklahoma State in the coming weeks, but Mizzou is their last northern division rival for bragging rights to the title (Colorado is officially out of the running even though we play them at Thanksgiving). Of course if we win the Mizzou game we get to play Texas twice this season ;o(
Our #1 Volleyball team keeps rolling along in their efforts for another Big XII and National Championship. And not to be outdone, the Soccer and Softball Teams are doing well this fall too. See the articles below for more info on their recent successes. A little more Husker Humor at the end of the email for your entertainment. Lots of other stuff to read, so enjoy and...
Go Big Red (White and Blue),
Carl

Watch Sites for the PPV game this Saturday...
Good news for San Francisco residents. Steve talked with Arnie and Final-Final will pay for the PPV feed this Saturday, so it looks like three out of four of our watch sites (assuming Knuckles in Monterey won't pick up the $400 tab) will have the game on for our fans. If you are a Final-Final regular and don't get Steve's emails let me know and I'll get you connected.
So if you want to see the K-State game Saturday, come on out to Final-Final, Jack's Brewing or Legends to join other Red Clad Husker fans to watch the game. See our website for details and maps: http://www.bayareahuskers.org/ Kickoff is at 4 p.m. Pacific, so come early, get a good seat and order up some good pub grub at half time! We will be passing the hat to help defray the $400 cost of bringing the PPV game to our group, so dig into your wallets and help out. We figure it would cost you $30 to watch at home so $10 per person isn't asking much and anything collected above the tab will go to our scholarship fund. And as Steve passed along to his Final-Final crowd: Larry the cable guy says, "Get'er done"!

Excerpt from the Recap...
Ames, Iowa - Cody Glenn and Brandon Jackson each rushed for more than 100 yards and combined for three touchdowns to carry the No. 22 Nebraska football team to its first road win of the season in a 28-14 victory over Iowa State at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames on Saturday night.
Playing in front of an ABC regional television audience in prime time and a packed house that included tens of thousands of Husker fans in Ames, Nebraska improved to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the Big 12, while Iowa State slipped to 3-3 on the season and 0-2 in the league.
"It was a great win for our team on the road," Nebraska Coach Bill Callahan said. "I told our players that I was awfully proud of the way they responded on the road in all three areas. I really liked our focus during our week of practice. Our players rose to the occasion in a hostile environment."
Along with another impressive performance by Nebraska's ground game, the Blackshirt defense flexed its muscles to frustrate Iowa State's potent attack throughout the night.
"I was proud of the fact that we made plays and put pressure on (Bret) Meyer," Callahan said. "I was also proud that we did not give up a big run tonight. I thought we played well on the defensive side of the football."
The Huskers produced 251 rushing yards, including career highs of 148 yards and two scores from Glenn and 116 yards and another score from Jackson, who gave NU its second double-100-yard rushing performance in the last three games.
Marlon Lucky and Kenny Wilson each went over 100 yards against Troy two weeks ago, giving the Huskers four different 100-yard running backs in the past three weeks and five total 100-yard rushing performances on the season.
"Two backs over 100 yards is huge," Callahan said. "Our offensive line deserves a lot of credit for that, they did a great job all night long."
Quarterback Zac Taylor completed 17-of-21 passes for 131 yards and a key touchdown pass to Maurice Purify to close the first half. Purify closed the night with two catches for a team-high 35 yards and his first career score. Taylor completed passes to nine different Husker receivers, as he became just the fourth quarterback in NU history to cross the 4,000-yard career passing mark.
Lucky led the Huskers with three catches for 28 yard, while Todd Peterson, Terrence Nunn, J.B. Phillips, Matt Herian and Frantz Hardy each joined Purify with two receptions on the night.
While Nebraska's West Coast Offense rolled up 382 yards and dominated the time of possession by holding the ball for nearly 37 minutes on the night, the Blackshirts surrendered just one touchdown on a short field in the first 59:54, before giving up an insignificant touchdown in prevent defense with six seconds left in the game.
The Blackshirts limited ISU to just 53 rushing yards in a magnificent performance. Junior linebacker Bo Ruud led the defense with a team-high nine tackles, while defensive tackle Barry Cryer wreaked havoc up front with four tackles, including a nine-yard sack and a pass deflection on the night.
In the secondary, Cortney Grixby nabbed his first career interception, while Andre Jones posted a team-high seven unassisted tackles.

HUSKERS CONTINUE PREPARATIONS FOR K-STATE...
Lincoln—The Nebraska football team continued to prepare for Saturday night’s 4 p.m. (PDT) matchup against Kansas State with a two-hour workout in shorts and shoulder pads Wednesday afternoon inside the Hawks Championship Center.
The Huskers will play their fifth straight night game on Saturday, and, according to Head Coach Bill Callahan, NU has settled into a good game-night routine.
“We’re in a good frame of mind,” Callahan said. “We’re in a good routine because we’ve been doing this the last four weeks. I can’t speak for every guy in the room, but as a team, I know that we’re fine with it. Nebraska fans have an opportunity to see the game, and I think that’s great. Our kids have really adapted to it. We’re in a really good routine and we’re really confident in what we do and how we prepare.”
Callahan, who reviewed the film of Nebraska’s 28-14 win over Iowa State Wednesday before practice, noted the continued development of cornerback Rickey Thenarse. The freshman from Los Angeles, Calif., broke up a pass against Iowa State and has six tackles on the season.
“He has the body type that you want in a corner,” Callahan said. “He’s lean, he has good size and length and he has excellent speed. I think that he’ll get better with time. You have to take your hat off to the guy. He just wants to play, whether it’s at safety, corner or on special teams. He’s a football player. He takes his role seriously and whatever he can do to help us, he’s all aboard.”
On the injury front, senior offensive lineman Greg Austin dressed for practice and participated in individual drills before being held out by the Nebraska training staff.
“He tried to go today,” Callahan said. “He put the pads on and went out for individual drills, but (Head Football Trainer) Doak (Ostergard) backed him down. He needs another day. We’ll see what he looks like tomorrow.”
Austin’s continued perseverance through injury is an inspiration to Callahan.
“I keep mentioning the fact that he’s a player that inspires me on a daily basis because, for anyone to go through what he does is unbelievable,” Callahan said. “I don’t know how he does it. But he has such a passion for the game of football, he wants to be out there with his teammates and he wants to do everything for Nebraska. He wants to play. Playing is important to him. He’ll do anything to do that. If it means sacrificing and going through some painful practices and going through injury and things of that nature, he’ll do it. He’s willing to do it, so I have a lot of respect for his ability to play the game under the conditions that he’s in.”
If Austin isn’t ready to go by Saturday, Nebraska will look to either sophomore Andy Christensen or redshirt freshman Jacob Hickman to fill in at left guard.
“Both guys are ready,” Callahan said. “I know that (offensive line coach) Dennis (Wagner) has worked both of those players. They’re really good players. We’ve shuffled them along the board and across the front through pre-season and during the season, so we’re confident in both those guys. Either one of those guys could fill that responsibility.”
The Huskers will wrap up their preparations in Lincoln for the Kansas State game on Thursday afternoon before departing for Manhattan on Friday.

“I think our experience showed the court tonight,” Cook said. “Texas A&M played exceptionally well, but we hung in there and weathered the storm and made some big plays at the end of games. A lot of that has to do with experience and confidence as a team.
“We have been trying to be more balanced the last couple of weeks. Rachel and the middles were connecting well. They were making it look easy, which was fun to watch tonight.
The Huskers (15-0, 7-0 Big 12) also received strong performances from both middle blockers, as Tracy Stalls and Kori Cooper combined for 15 kills on just 25 swings.

If you have more hours on your snow blower than miles on your car .... you live in Nebraska.
If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly" .... you live in Nebraska.
If you understand these jokes, and forward them to all your Nebraska friends & others .... you actually have lived in Nebraska (Or any number of other "Upper Midwestern" states)
!GO BIG RED!!!
