Commentary |
• Stryker: “Just like that, a disjointed defense found choreography.” • Bishop: “Darn near everyone in the secondary saved their best coverage day for Sparty.” • Neeley: “You could see the light come on for the Nebraska defense.” • Husker Mike: “Biggest difference maker to me? Cornerback Andrew Green.” |
• Barfknecht: “Saturday looked like an S.O.S. – Same Old Spartans – especially laying an egg on the road.” • Shatel: “What we saw were signs of hope, all around, for a November charge through the hinterlands.” • Chatelain: “This was a fanny-whippin' from start to finish, with SuperRex leading the way.” |
• Sipple: “In Nebraska's most critical game of the season to date, the Burkhead legend grew.” • Rosenberg: “The Spartans put too much of the game on Cousins’ arm before it was necessary” • Mayo: “The pressure on Cousins by the defensive front four … was astounding.” |
