Postgame Quotes vs. Washington
Oct. 31, 2026 (Lincoln, Neb.)
Washington 17, Nebraska 10

On Washington’s 4th and 18 conversion
“At the end of the day we just came up short, got to make a tackle, probably wasn’t the best play call but got to be able to get them down.” 

On the defense mindset in the 4th quarters of the last three games
“I think it was different, the mindset of the defense. We went out there and in order to be a better defense we know it's going to come down to those 4th quarter moments. I like the mindset of it and going into it. We came into that fourth quarter and we broke it up and we were harping on it all week that that fourth quarter we have to play 60 minutes of football. Football always comes out and makes one play but it's one play all over the place. So we just got to come in and fix it.”

On opponent changing their quarterback late in the game
“You definitely get in a rhythm and play styles are always a little different but I feel like we went into this game preparing to play both quarterbacks. But it's definitely a little challenging, especially switching in the end just because the flow of the game gets a little different so we just have to be able to adjust better.”
