Colorado gives 'Huskers a scare
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Leading by 24 points,
everything was going according to plan for
No. 3 Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers were on their way to a convincing victory that would bolster their position in the Bowl Championship Series and send them soaring into the Big 12 championship game against No. 7 Texas.
In a matter of minutes, it all fell apart.
Eric Crouch's 1-yard touchdown run gave the Huskers a 33-30 overtime victory against Colorado on Friday, but wasting a seemingly insurmountable lead in a nine-minute span of the fourth quarter could damage Nebraska's bid for its four national title in six seasons.
"There is no more talk of a national championship." Huskers defensive back Mike Brown said. "All the talk is of winning the Big 12 championship."
Nebraska (10 1, 7-1 Big 12) still has an outside chance to overtake No. 2 Virginia Tech in the BCS standings and gain an
invitation to the Sugar Bowl against topranked Florida State.
ranked Florida State. Virginia Tech (11-0) ended its season Friday with a 38-14 victory against No. 22 Boston College and must wait to see how Nebraska fares against Texas on Dec. 4.
"I don't know where we are now," said
Dan Alexander,
Huskers running back,
who ran for a career-
high 180 yards on 17
carries. "We still have a
chance at the Big 12
title. That has been our
goal all along anyway."
Texas is the only team to beat Nebraska this season, and Colorado (65, 5-3) came within a couple feet of becoming the second. Jeremy Aldrich's 34-yard field goal was wide-right as time expired.
Aldrich made a 33-yard field goal in the overtime, but Alexander had an 11-yard run to set up Crouch's game-winning plunge off left tackle to give Nebraska its eight straight win against Colorado.
Moschetti finished 21 of 41 for 317 yards — 186 coming in the fourth quarter — and Cortlen Johnson ran for 135 yards. Crouch threw for only 44 yards but had 123 on 19 carries.
Moschetti finished 21-of-41 for 317 yards.
The Huskers built a big lead early as Alexander went 50 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, marking the fourth time Nebraska has scored on its first play in the last six games played at Folsom Field.
You need to have three colors by handline — one more than Colorado's defense had allowed in the previous two games against Baylor and No. 9 Kansas State combined.
Nebraska had 312 total yards by halftime
Alexander made it 14-0 less than four minutes into the game with a one-yard touchdown run and added an 80-yard breakaway that pushed the lead to 24-3 midway through the second quarter.
"We just couldn't get anything going." Buffs defensive back Rashidi Barnes said. "This could be my last football game in Folosm, and for it to end like this is just awful."
BLACKSBURG, Va. — The perfect regular season was finally one for the books. The fans streamed onto the field by the thousands, congratulating the players, rejoicing the completion of Virginia Tech's magical 11-0 ride.
An hour later, coach Frank Beamer was both jubilant and exhausted, and the high emotion of the celebration sparked him to do a little lobbying for his team
The Associated Press
"I think we've answered every challenge, and we did it by playing and not talking," Beamer said. "What we've done on the field is the right thing."
Hokies pull off perfect season
"Does anybody here think we don't belong in New Orleans?"
On the biggest day in Virginia Tech sports history, the No. 2 Hokies completed their first perfect regular season in 81 years with a 38-14 thumping of No. 22 Boston College, but concerns about the Bowl Championship series lingered. Could the Hokies at 11-0 be denied their obvious date with No. 1 Florida State for the national championship? Would Colorado
And when it was finished, some of the 53,130 fans at Lane Stadium were tearing down the goal posts at both ends of the stadium, and thousands more had directed their undivided

play the Seminoles in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4, and the race is close.
The Hokies are just ahead of the Cornhuskers in the chase for the right to play the Seminoles in the Sugar Bowl on 4, and the race is close.
The stadium grew silent when word flashed that Colorado would try a field goal with one second left, then groaned as one when word came the kick was no good.
But the Hokies, Beamer and even Boston College coach Tom O'Brien all seemed sure that the trip to New Orleans had all but been sealed at Lane Stadium.
