• Commentary:
• Stryker: “ Nebraska broke through and grabbed a big road win that will help the Huskers gain credibility around the nation – and in their own division.” • Hamar: “ This is a new era. This is a new team with a toughness we haven’t seen for awhile.” • McKeever: “ In a steady rain … Lee discovered lightning in a bottle.” • Shatel: “ Breakout night. … You knew it was going to happen one day. But nobody could have known it would happen like this.” • Sipple: “ Yep, this had Pelini written all over it. Nebraska won it with defense and guts.” • Hinton: “ So Nebraska isn’t a choker, and Mizzou has a few issues on offense.” • McKewon: “ Missouri should have had it wrapped up. But Suh and his crew just wouldn’t let it happen.” • Chatelain: “ Don’t let a memorable fourth quarter cloud your perspective on one of NU’s worst offensive performances in years.”
