WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) When Matt Robinson was growing up, he spent his weekends watching college football games especially the championship-winning Nebraska teams of the 1980s and '90s.<br>
<br>
Now Robinson, a starting defensive end, and his Wake Forest teammates get a chance to play against the storied Cornhuskers program in Lincoln.<br>
<br>
Saturday's game is also an opportunity for Wake Forest to bounce back from its season-opening 24-20 loss to Vanderbilt.<br>
<br>
The Demon Deacons got a career-high 254 yards rushing from sophomore Micah Andrews, but suffered their seventh loss by a seven points or less in the last two seasons.<br>
<br>
The biggest cause for concern could be the health of two starting linebackers. Jon Abbate, who led Wake Forest in tackles last season, has a pulled hamstring. Junior Pierre Easley has a pulled groin muscle. Both are listed as questionable.<br>
