The Nebraska football team finished preparations Thursday for its first road game of the season with a two-hour workout in Memorial Stadium. The Huskers will travel Friday to Lubbock, Texas, where they will meet the No. 7 Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday at 2 p.m. on FSN.

Head Coach Bo Pelini said the team responded with a great week of practice following Saturday’s disappointing 52-17 loss to Missouri.

“I think they’re understanding the game plan,” Pelini said. “They came back with a good focus and now we’ve got to take it to the game.”

Pelini said he isn’t worried about the how the Huskers will respond on the field Saturday.

“I have confidence that they know what’s expected of them,” Pelini said. “Whether it’s on the road or at home, it comes down to playing between the lines and executing and doing what you have to do.”

The Huskers ramped up crowd noise at practice every day this week, Pelini said, to prepare for the hostile environment the Huskers will enter in Lubbock.

“That’s one of the good things about playing in conferences like this,” Pelini said. “You get a lot of great atmospheres. It’ll be a lot of fun for the team to go out there and it creates a great challenge. I told them you’ve got to take an us-against-the-world mentality when you go on the road. That’s what we’re going to do.”
