COMMENTARY

Shatel

“ NU showed up in a strange place and showed up in the right way.”

Tom Shatel*
Omaha World-Herald

Chatelain

“ You don’t make ‘SportsCenter’ by avoiding turnovers and fielding punts. But you do win games.”

Dirk Chatelain*
Omaha World-Herald

Sipple

“ Give credit where it’s due. NU overlooked McNeese State. It didn’t repeat that error.”

Steven M. Sipple*
Lincoln Journal Star

Callahan

“ Probably my biggest concern tonight with the offense was they were home run or bust.”

Sean Callahan
HuskerOnline

Stryker

“ Encouraging sign: Armstrong started to involve his tight ends in the attack.”

Tad Stryker
HuskerMax

Vogel

“ Like a lot of pure home run hitters, Nebraska’s still striking out too much to truly be comfortable.”

Brandon Vogel
