Huskers Eager to Start Season

The wait for Husker football ends tomorrow afternoon, when the 2012 edition of the Big Red emerges from the Memorial Stadium tunnel to face Southern Miss. Husker head coach Bo Pelini said after yesterday’s practice that both he and his team are raring to go. “It’s always a little nerve-racking: it’s the first time out, you have some new guys in there,” Pelini said.”Especially in this situation, where you don’t have a lot of information on your opponent. I’m excited for this football team. I know our guys are looking forward to playing. They’re tired of hitting each other. At the end of the day, it’s about playing hard, flying to the football and playing with an attitude. I think our guys understand that.” Nebraska’s previous meeting against the Golden Eagles was one to forget; a stunning 21-17 loss in Lincoln in 2004. But the Huskers haven’t lost a home opener in 26 years. Saturday’s is scheduled for 2:30.
