Postgame Quotes vs. Ohio
Sept. 5, 2026 (Lincoln, Neb.)
Nebraska 49, Ohio 21

On how they rebounded
“We did a good job of responding more so than thinking about the bust. It happens. The first game. Things that happen that we have to work through. I felt like we did a great job of responding, especially in the second half we did a great job of finishing.” 

On the heat
“I came out there with no sleeves, I was expecting it to be a little bit hotter than it was. Definitely less hot than it was on Tuesday, I’m thankful for that. Our Tuesday practices, they’re the intense ones, it was less hot than that so I was good.”

On Rob Aurich the defensive staff
“Obviously he wants to get it corrected, but he understands that everybody just has to do their job. I think it was more so the first game jitters rather than us completely going out there and messing up. He came to us and kept it real with us that that’s not our process, that’s not how we play, that’s not our standard. It’s nothing that we can’t fix. Everything that we had we gave to them.”
