Terrence Nunn
Senior, Wide Receiver

On his climb up the Nebraska career receiving chart

“I don’t really keep track of it. I just go out there and play. Whenever the season ends, if I am (fortunate) enough to have broken Johnny Rodgers' record then I will be very thankful.”

 

On watching the USC film

“It was pretty hard, but we knew we had a lot of errors in that game, and we know we just have to go out there and fix it on the practice field. It was a little different. We watched it as a full team, usually we split up offense and defense, but we watched it as a full team so we all could see what happened.”

 

On Coach Callahan running the film by himself

“He ran it all by himself, but all the coaches chimed in and said what they have to say.”

 

On the mood of the team

“We just know that we have to bounce back. We know that we cannot just go in the tank. We have to go and practice hard today and get the job done against BallState.”

 

On focusing on Ball State

“We know we have to go out there week by week and get the job done because our goals are still intact. We can still do what we want to do.”

 

On whether other upsets in college football this season will help the Huskers prepare for the Cardinals

“It does help a little bit. Seeing games like Appalachian State and Michigan lets us know that BallState is going to have a good football team and we have to be ready, because we know that they will be ready.”

 

On going full pads today in practice

“It is going to be a really physical practice today. We just have to be ready for the game. Everybody needs a good day of hard work. Every practice is hard, just today we are in full pads, so now we just have to go out there and go to work.”

 

On the amount of doubt in the minds of the Huskers after the loss to USC

“To be honest we don’t really have any doubt. We just have to go out there and practice and fix our errors.”

 

On learning from a loss

"When you lose you can see what you really need to work on. Sometimes when you win you actually don’t see it because you got away with it. When you play a really good team you cannot get away with things like that.”

 

On Nebraska's ability relative to USC 

“I think we are pretty close to them.  They are a great team, I am not going to lie but I just think we were pretty close.”

 

On the message he received from the coaches while watching film

“We need to get our minds right. We could not just go in the tank. We know we just have to turn around and get it going.”

 

On the reaction by players to any previous team meetings that players have called

“It showed us that we needed to get our minds right because we knew we couldn’t just go in the tank. We knew we had to turn around and get it going.”
