Bo Pelini puts his stamp on this season

The victory over the Kansas Jayhawks, the same Kansas that embarrassed and destroyed Nebraska 76-39 last year, represents tangible progress and makes this season a undeniable success. It’s also the greatest triumph of Bo Pelini’s short tenure.

On top of that, the Huskers are progressing throughout the season and developing younger players. This bodes well for not only for the rest of the season, but 2009.

Because of Bo delivering the Huskers a bowl game, the Huskers will get an extra 15 practices, a game against a quality opponent, and a real chance to finish the season in the top 25 and start 2009 in the Top 25.

If you can’t get excited about that, then HG can’t help you.

We are all disappointed that the Huskers couldn’t pull out a victory against Texas Tech and Virginia Tech. We were all questioning the coaching staff after Oklahoma and Missouri, but after beating Kansas, the Huskers are poised to finish 2nd in the Big 12 North.

We came into Kansas as underdogs and some of us were expecting the worse. What we got was a team that in 7 days absorbed a soul-crushing loss at the hands of the Sooners and defeated a competitive Kansas team.

A tip of the hat goes to the players and the coaching staff for keeping the team focused on finishing the season strong.

Restoring the Order has taken a step forward.
