Well now it is on to our first road game of the season, against the defending ACC champions Wake Forrest, who took it on the chin last Saturday against fellow ACC foe, Boston College and in the process gave up more than 400 yards passing in a 38-28 loss. The Demon Deacons also lost their starting quarterback and top defensive end in this game and are very doubtful for Saturday's match-up against the Huskers.

The aerial attack will be bolstered with the return of Marcus Purify at receiver. Purify was out for the Nevada game due to a suspension and death of his brother and is anxious to get into the action. Purify will help in the receiving corps because of the drops we had by our receivers by Frantz and Nunn, and a perfect TD strike dropped by fullback Thomas Lawson. I also think that another week of practice, coupled with film review will allow Sam Keller to settle down and be ready for a big game if the running attack is stalled. I think that Keller will have a big day, at least 250 yards passing, and then I believe that the ability to pass the ball will in turn give the running game the opening to thrive. I see the Huskers prevailing by the score 37-17.
