Postgame Quotes vs. Northwestern (Oct. 21, 2023)
Nebraska 17, Northwestern 9

On post-game atmosphere of today’s win
“It’s awesome. I mean a lot of credit to the guys around me. Just doing their job and getting the quarterback to step up for me a few times. It was really fun out there today. It was probably one of the funnest games I’ve played on defense. The entire defense was flying around, we were having fun today. The entire game was fun. Everything about it was fun.”

On the opportunity for the pass rushers against Northwestern
“We knew going in that we were going to have to take advantage of them pass rushing and we really did today. There was a big emphasis on it and we knew it was going to come down to third downs and winning third downs so it was awesome.”

On vantage point of touchdown pass in the fourth quarter
“I was standing up behind the first row of people and I heard everyone starting to go crazy and I couldn’t see what was going on but then you look up at the screen and see the lag a little bit. But you see him going over the top like that and scoring, it was awesome.”

On the feeling of that touchdown
“We went out on the field as soon as we scored and we all celebrated, a lot of the older guys on the defense said that we’re going to have to stop them one more time. Either one or two more times, and that was the mindset. We celebrated, we said what’s next and then we gotta go stop them one more time and then we win the game and that's what we did.”
