Nevhusker.. if you want to talk about bad officiating.. please look at our linemen in the first two pictures... Also, unfortunately when it mattered, the Hokies outplayed us-- the two huge plays on their final drive.

For you to say that it was the refs fault, then you are sadly mistaken. If you didn't know, the refs were BIG 12 refs. So you would think they would be one sided the other way. Nebraska just frankly didn't finish any of their drives! I hope this is a learning game, now they will go on and complete the games they play in the future.

It looks as if Husker football needs to make every play a hard statement with no room for error! They must play impeccably and with more than just determination. They are going to be looked at with disdain for Husker football is back and they stand for ( Integrity and Real Tradition)!

Without a doubt the officiating in this game with Virginia Tech was some of the worst one sided officiating I have ever seen in the 40+ years I have been watching Husker Football. The Husker Touchdown with the receiver taking three steps having total control of the the ball before he ran out of the end zone when he dropped the ball zone and then being ruled incomplete was the worst of all. I will never understand why the Husker Coaching staff didn't ask for a review of that play.

I counted 7 separate infractions by Virginia Tech players against Husker players that were already out of bounds from a run and the defender kept their aggressive actions and yet not ONE foul was called.

I guess you can tell I am very upset with this unfair situation. The Huskers totally out played this team period!
