Nebraska Linebacker
Postgame Quotes vs. Maryland (Nov. 11, 2023)
Maryland 13, Nebraska 10

On what he saw on the interception
“I definitely thought I got my foot in for sure. I was just running to the ball, plaster drill. We practice it every practice so when he scrambled I was just looking for work, tipped ball, tips equal picks so I picked the ball off.”

On the message at halftime
“The message was that they had a couple explosive plays in the second half but in the first half they had that one deep ball and that’s all that I can recall right now, but it wasn’t just little stuff we just had to do it RDV, play physical, play fast, get off blocks, tackle. All the stuff we have been preaching the whole year, so that’s what we went back to and started preaching at halftime.”

On how challenging it was facing Maryland’s QB
“He’s a good quarterback. It’s a good team. They have a bunch of athletes, and he’s able to utilize his athletes with his arm and getting open and scrambling and stuff like that. He’s a really good athlete and has a really good arm.”

On the mentality going into this next week
“Going into this next week we’re probably going to watch film, see what we did wrong.  Work on what we did wrong during practice. Keep preaching our DB, keep preaching win the rep and keep preaching what’s next. Try to go 1-0 this week against Wisconsin.”
