Commentary |
• Stryker: “Nebraska had to fight, claw, and go deep into the playbook to scratch out a three-point win over a team that has very little offensive punch.” • Shatel: “Sports met humanity on Saturday, and the man in the middle was a fellow named Ron Brown.” |
• Sipple: “Nothing about this day was going to be easy.” • Morrissey: “Don't even try to say a football game helped speed up the healing for the victims.” • Sorensen: “Something powerful took place in Beaver Stadium, home of the Penn State Nittany Lions, before a single snap was taken.” |
• Husker Mike: “With the game on the line, #4 came through.” • York: “An entire nation could see football in vastly different terms and through a completely different lens than a normal Saturday.” • Feit: “Is Lavonte David the greatest linebacker to ever play at Nebraska?” |
