Dante Trader Jr.
Maryland Defensive Back

On the last games leading up to today
“First off, I would like to talk about the last games we haven’t played well defensively. This week Coach Locksley told us to get back to the standard. It’s all in the fine detail of what we’re trying to do. To win the game you have to get the takeaways and that’s a big emphasis on takeaways. On third downs during today we have to go out there and do what we did. It just goes back to our standard. What we did in practice.”

On picking off Nebraska’s turnovers
“It’s not necessarily that we just honed in on Nebraska. We feel like every team has their weaknesses and to be able to get turnovers. We see the ball on the ground and they often give us the opportunity to get the interception. So, we took advantage of it.” 

On the difference with the turnovers and if it was luck or a different perspective
“I mean you could say a lot of luck. Luck comes in with takeaways. I would just say that we were on the right sports at the right time. We put it to God that he would allow us to get the interceptions.”
