Action-packed day for the Huskies, who capped it off with a loose, relaxed walk-through at iconic Memorial Stadium in downtown Lincoln. The Huskies have established themselves as road warriors under Coach Steve Sarkisian, and are certainly not intimidated walking into the most imposing venues. During the walk-through, the players tossed around footballs and shared jokes, not phased by the number of National Championships chiseled into the stadium's concrete.

At the end of the walk-through, Sarkisian gathered his troops at midfield and told then, "we're all we've got," meaning the Huskies need to play for each other tomorrow in a sea of red.

Once back at the hotel, the Huskies went through position meetings and then gathered as a group with Coach Sark. These kinds of speeches tend to get inspiring, often carrying the team through the next day.

Highlight of the walk-through? Going through the tunnel and seeing the red 1991 plaque. Nebraska went 9-2-1 that year, but was collared with a 36-21 loss to the Huskies in Lincoln. Lots of players made sure to snap iPhone pictures of that one.
