Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014
Memorial Stadium (Lincoln, Neb.)

Sophomore Linebacker T.J. Neal

On Nebraska's running game
"Nebraska they're big and physical. And we knew coming into this week that they were going to run the ball. Outside zone, inside zone, split zone. They wanted to run the ball. They have an aggressive offensive line which made it hard to get to the running back."

On being a ball hawk
"I'm trying my best, I'm doing my best to help this team get to a bowl game. Help us become a better defense than we've been in the past. I'm just doing my role."

On the atmosphere
"It was good you know, its a big crazy atmosphere. We started fast, then the rest was history."
