| Commentary |
• Stryker: “ A national contender finds a way to finish a couple of those drives against Tech.” • McKewon: “ [Coale’s] catch was, truly, one of the most inexplicable defensive plays in Nebraska history.” |
• Sipple: “ On this day, it was mostly what the Huskers didn’t do. They didn’t finish.” • McKeever: “ It’s a cruel game – just be careful about pinning it all on No. 33.” • Douglass: “ The Huskers know they can’t let one setback ruin their season.” |
• Chatelain: “ Will fortunes change? Eventually, sure. … But they should’ve changed Saturday.” • Shatel: “ Nobody said the program’s comeback would be easy. Nobody said it would be this cruel, either.” |
