On what makes Nebraska versus Iowa close
“It’s a battle of culture. It’s a battle of nutrition. In quote terms the game is always going to come down to the fourth quarter just because of the way we play and the way we approach the game. It’s always going to be a tough battle, and it shows out on the field.”

On run game from Iowa
“It’s a little bit different because the quarterback can run this year. They have a great offense and they know how to run the ball. They have a physical team and they know how to move the ball the way they want to. We just have to do what we need to do and stop the run.”
