Postgame Quotes vs. Wisconsin
Nov. 23, 2024 (Lincoln, Neb.)
Nebraska 44, Wisconsin 25
On completeness of offense
“I think it was from the start Jacory (Barney Jr.) with the kickoff return. And then kind of from there we were rolling and when they stopped us, we just knew it was our fault – snap infraction here, false start, to get us off of our plan so it’s exciting. It felt good to finally put it all together but you know it kind of starts now to get ready for next Friday.”
On Emmett Johnson and Jacory Barney Jr.’s play
“Those guys have been special all year. It’s just my job to get them the ball in space. Jacory (Barney Jr.) gets the ball in space, Emmett (Johnson) does. All of our guys are. They all have different skill sets that they’re good at. It’s just trusting them, trusting the system and getting the ball in the playmaker's hands.”
On emotions towards seniors who get to play a bowl game
“I honestly have no words. I told them in the locker room that this win was for them, and it really was. We wouldn’t be here without them. They went through the ups and the downs and the highs and lows. To break through for them, it was special.”
On rhythm of moving the ball
“Honestly, it's fun. You kind of can just close your eyes and call whatever and we have to just execute it. It's kind of been our thing all year, we're a play here and a play there away from what we did tonight. So I think those little plays that we missed in the past, we made those plays tonight and you know you see the results.”
