Alonzo Moore
Junior, Wide Receiver
On his health
“I just feel great at the moment. So I really can’t even say [where I’m at] from zero to 100 [percent], you know. I feel great.”

On his exact injury
“I took a helmet shot to my upper arm and it kind of made my arm go numb. I remember laying on the ground and trying to get up and I noticed that I couldn’t feel my right arm and I was like, ‘man it’s something serious.’ So I went to the sideline to check it out and moved it around a couple of times. Then when I went out there again and tried to run, I noticed that there was no feeling in my right arm.”

On sitting out
“It was kind of difficult. But you know, it’s part of the game. Football is a contact sport you know. It can be any situation. It’s about how I come back from this injury.”

On the Michigan State game last year and how he missed a catch that could have possibly won the Huskers the game
“I look at it often. I was actually talking with my dad about it the other day. One thing that came across was that this is more than just a game. It’s personal because I left something on the field last year. I just want to give it my all this time. I still watch it to this day. I watch it a lot.”

What it is about Nebraska and Michigan State and the game always going down to the wire
“It’s always been like that. It’s two great schools, winning schools. We both come out and give it our best really. We just play hard to the end.”

On the confidence level of the team going up against Michigan State
“I think we match up well with anyone. I think we can go out and play with anyone. It’s just about us. We focus on us. If we go out and play our best ball, the result will be good.”

On Michigan State’s physical defense and press coverage
“Like I said, we have to work hard in practice and listen to Coach Keith Williams. I’m pretty sure he’s going to have a great plan for them [the Michigan State defensive backs] and if we execute the plan then great things will happen for us on Saturday.”

On being the underdog this weekend
“I know a lot of people are probably counting us out, saying, ‘Oh, it’s going to be a big blowout or whatever,’ but in my eyes, I don’t see it. We’re coming in as an underdog and we’re not proving anything to anyone. We’re a great team when we play well. So we’re just going to come out and give it our very best.”

On what winning on Saturday would do to the team’s confidence
“It’ll shoot it sky high. It will be pretty big. [Beating] a team that’s, I think they’re in the top 10, that would be pretty good.”
