Movie Night With Corn Nation: Step Brothers

The year of “the kick.”

The 2008 Nebraska Football Season

All hail, the arrival of Bo Pelini, he who would save us from the West Coast offense and bring back some semblance of defense! That what the 2008 season promised Husker fans, and given the season of hell before, it was a pretty good turnaround.

The season started well enough as Nebraska went 3-0 against lackluster competition. Things turned for the worse when our beloved Huskers lost their next three games. The first loss was a 35-30 disappointment to Virginia Tech in Memorial Stadium. The Hokies had a 28-10 lead with one minute left in the third quarter when the Huskers started their rally. It was 35-23 when Joe Ganz hit Todd Peterson with under two minutes left. Virginia Tech couldn’t run out the clock, and Ganz got the ball on the 10 with 25 seconds left. He hit two passes to Niles Paul and Peterson for a combined 46 yards, but Peterson fumbled on his reception and that was the game.
